BIG NEWS

I AM MOVING TO TEXAS!
today, at my internship, i spun a globe because of pure boredom to see where i would eventually end up in my life. apparently i am going to live in texas. i dont know why, the humid parts are too humid and the dry parts are too dry. i have always wanted to live in denver... my finger landed over the panhandle of texas, near a small town called denver city. oh well, i guess that what happens when you live your life on pure chance.

but..... why not live our lives on chance? i mean there is nothing to depend on that would keep us from chancing it up. the world is always changing. we cannot even depend on money, the economy is a dump. what can we depend on? friends, family? they will in some way let us down - they are human, thats what humans do. so, other than God, life is everchanging.

i hate change, i think. i like being comftorable with where i am at in life. i hated going to high school, and masters commission, and college. its hard for me when new national leaders take over, or i enter into a new position in life. all my life, i have wanted consistency, and all my life i have never gotten it. even my favorite sports teams are not consistent. being at evangel is the most consistent my life has ever been. but in a year that will all change. thus, the globe spinning.

consitency is so easy, change is so difficult. but then again, who said life would be easy.

growth without change is impossible!

blessings. and lately

sometimes we are blessed to be a blessing. and sometimes, because of my greedy human nature, i don't want to be a blessing. i want to be blessed without being a blessing. it seems logical that the more money i keep for myself, the better off i'll be. however, God is not constricted by logic, or anything else for that matter. as a christian, we know that if you sew sparingly, you will reap sparingly...

i was recently blessed. it was nice to have extra money for life in general. it was nice to be able to send my mom some extra money. but that is not what i was blessed to do. i was blessed to help others. it took alot for me to overcome my greed. now i am back to square one, eating ramen, and bread with hot sauce. but its all worth it. God knows what he is doing, he's God and i'm not.

i saw transformers last night at midnight. it was fun to hangout with different people. the movie was spectaculiar, although some characterization was overdone. it was an incredible flick!

summer school is almost over. it is going by much faster that i had anticipated. the summer has been amazing, but soon i will be in humidless albuquerque - thank ya jesus! i hate humidity.

my little cousin, who is more of a brother to me, is coming to visit me next week. i cant wait to show him the ropes and that there is more to life that what is offered in new mexico. it will be nice, and i am uber pumped.

i am a lover, not a fighter. but i will fight for what i love.

i knew this would happen

hi. well, i haven't written a blog in over 4 months... i knew this would happen (hence, the title). so here is a summary of my life, at least the parts of my life i want to share...

well, spring '09 semester is now over and i am now a senior in college... never thought that i would see this day come. i am the first in my family on my dad's side to graduate high school, so coming this far in college is a big deal to me and my family. i had to say goodbye to numerous friends from evangel who graduated. some i will see often, others, not so much. i said bye to my cousin, who has been my partner in crime ever since i can remember. next year is gonna look so much different, but i'm ready. BRING IT ON!

during the last semester of school, i started and ended a relationship with an amazing girl. it was an amazing time in my life that i learned about myself more and grew. it just wasn't the right time for me to be in a relationship.

i bought a new car... it was a grand blessing from the provider. my cousin allowed me to take over payments on his '06 honda civic. it is so nice to finally have a car that has a cd player, and ac, and a heater.

summer school began, and i decided to take the job as the only male summer school ra. its been an interesting adjustment moving dorms and living with a group of random guys. i like it. i only have about ten guys on my floor. its waaaaayyyy quieter than krause. i dont know what quiet is anymore, but i have learned... and it is nice. i thought this summer would be a complete bore. however, it has turned out to be on of the most amazing summers of my life. i am interning at assemblies of god world missions communications department as the marketing intern. i love it. it is so nice to be around christian professionals who support an amazing cause. my internship makes me fall in love with missions and communications all the more. it is a great way to incorperate both my major and minors. the summer would not be as amazing without the friends, old and new, that are here with me... you know who you are. from playing house all weekend, to ridic adventures... this summer has not been without fun.

i cant wait for the next year of school to start again. i am defenitley looking forward to it.

i learned on friday, that my cousin who had been missing since december had finally come home. prayers have been answered and a huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders. she still needs prayer, we would appreciate your prayers for samantha. god is so good!

i know there is much more that has taken place over the past several months... but this is not a biography peoplr, it is a blog. i will try to do better in the future.

adios, for now.
