Wow, so it's been nearly a month since I've posted...gotta be a record or something!

Anyway, life has been good. I've been studying Colossians with Peter and keeping up on my On Year Bible. It has all been quite an awesome and fulfilling experience. I like being in the Word...it's almost like putting yourself in another time and place...like you live it....truely an adventure! Might be hard for some of you to imagine, but it is very true!

Acts has been a very interesting book! I'm especially liking it right now now that we're towards the end of the book...it's really getting interesting!

Anyway. I just got back from Las Vegas with my parents, it was quite an awesome trip! I got to see Blue Man Group, lose money (but have fun doing it), and enjoy all the freebees! If you ever go, make sure to look into all the free stuff you can get while you're there, it's pretty neat all the things you can get! Free money, tickets, drinks, cards...tons of stuff! It was a totally awesome time! I am glad to be back home...it sure is a lot of walking!

The 4th was fun too! I got to go visit Lynda in Visalia. We went over to her uncle's house, swam, ate, watched fireworks, the usual awesome things you do on the 4th of July. You wanna know what the best thing of the entire day was? I was with Lynda!!

Lynda and I have now been together for 6 months! Quite awesome I must say! She's a beauty...she means a lot to me! She treats me so good and I totally do not deserve her, but God works in mysterious ways doesn't he?

Alrighty, I'm gonna jet, later all!

Wow, God is absolutely awesome! I never doubted it, but sometimes it just becomes especially clear!

Peter and I have started a study in Colossians and man is it interesting! See, Peter has been using this inductive study method. It's really interesting and it's quite amazing what you can learn from simply looking at the text alone and allowing it to clarify its self. The cool part is that Peter and I still have a lot more to learn about Colossians!

Man, this week has been quite a bit of a kicker to me...like litterally...ouch! But I've come from realizing my own downfalls and problems and I feel like I've hit a new level of understanding. Boy, do I have a ways to go, but things are much better.

Relient K sings "When I go down, I go down hard." How true is that! It seems like with every new level of understanding or the closer you get to God, the harder it is on you when you take a step backward! I hate my flesh, I hate the world (that being the attitude of the world), and I wish I wouldn't get in the way of the things He is doing!

Lord, keep me on the right track!

Ok, so to post...

Life has been going pretty well. School is out and I'm sleeping more. I'm still recovering from the semester, but I'm begining to get acclimated to all of this free time.

I just found out that finacial aid for next year is going to more than pay for tuition!! Thank you dad for making less money! Now I don't have to take out a loan or anything....everything is covered...EVERYTHING!!! And then some!

Ahh, it's nice not having to worry about paying for school...quite nice!

Thrice rocks...especially when they play acoustic!

:sigh: trying to find direction in this mess of a world...not completely easy, especially for me. I wish for roadsigns, guidelines, and roadmaps...maybe a life atlas...but nothing seems to come that easily, at least yet. Everyhting will fall into place, it's just a matter of patience, trust, and faith.

Anyway, I've got a lot of praying to do...I'll talk to you all later!

FINALS ARE OVER!!!

SCHOOL IS OVER FOR THE YEAR!!!

Ahh, feels so nice! What am I going to do with myself?!

Hm, I'm going to relax for now....for a while...because I can!!!

One final down, two to go!!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me, I think the outcome of my final will be quite good!

So that's it!! No more Management 124!! WOO HOO!!!! Ahh, feels so nice! That was the hardest of them all too! The other two are so not a worry to me! My California Studies final is a take home and it's all my own personal view on a buch of different California stuff! It's a bit of work, but it's all opinion!! The other final is in Marketing...we have all of the questions he's going to ask! I can't get higher than a B and I only need 6 points on the final to keep my B!! I think that's three correct answers on the 50 question test!

Ahh, so nice to be stress free...or stress reduced! I got some money for my Management book too! A nice extra $50!

I've been doing some secret shopping...pretty fun stuff! I get to do one at Fresno State tomorrow and I have another at TGI Friday's sometime either tomorrow or Wednesday. I should also be doing one at Elephant Bar! It's more fun than anything. It doesn't pay a lot, but it's fun, and it's not a lot of work. You do need to keep up on it though!

Alrighty, well I guess that's about it. I just want to post this song here...I really thought it was cool. Relient K's new one is quite good!

Relient K
My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend

When he was seeing her
You could see he had his doubts
And now he's missing her
Because he knows he's missing out
Now it's haunting him
The memories like a ghost
He's so terrified
Cause no one else even comes close

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

So then, along comes me,
This undeserving mess (undeserving mess)
Who would believe my life
Would be so blessed (life would be so blessed)
Two years ago
He left all that to breath (left all that to breath)
Who would of known
It would be everything I need

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy as me

She and I settled down you can bet
That he is going to have to settle for less
He's someone that I would hate to be
I got the girl and he's left with just the memory.

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake that he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy as me

Have a good day everyone!
