School is finally out!! It took long enough, and to think that was only my first semester of college. Why can’t I just be done and possibly even retired by now? That would be the life. As I reflect on these past few months I’m sure I could have done better. But that is just a part of growing up. I may not know how to manage my time yet, but at least I know that I need to, LOL. Since school has started I’ve seen many changes in my life including seeing people come in and out of my life. A relationship has ended, I started and quit a job, and even started playing the guitar. (Thanks Jesse) This never ending revolving door of life has just begun and either I’m going to get dragged along for the ride or I can jump on a enjoy it. I choose that latter. To end the semester in my writing class I had to write an essay on my growth as a writer, how about my growth as a person?

I really haven’t grown that much. I have put on about five pounds since I graduated. I know, I know, that’s not the kind of growth I’m talking about. I’ve decided to quit worrying about crap. I’m going to let God take over. Because apparently I haven’t done too good of a job with myself. 

I got accepted to Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, Missouri this past week. I’m super excited. I got a full-tuition scholarship, and have the opportunity to play basketball there. I talked to the coach and he’s very excited about the possibility of me being a part of the team. I’m not sure whether or not God wants me to go there yet so I need to just keep this in prayer. You could pray for me too if you’d like. I really am feeling led to go into the ministry. I’m just a little unsure about the details right now.

I started working out at a new gym. It’s fun, but tiring. I haven’t lifted since I graduated in May. It got a little out of hand, and now I’m feeling the consequences. I’m as sore as I’ve ever been, and it’s no fun. But it’s good that I’m going to start getting back into shape , and hopefully at that the best shape of my life. I’m working out with a good friend of mine, Dave. He’s a personal trainer there and he’s awesome. I met him through youth. He started working with the middle school with me. It’s good times. I’m training for basketball, that’s not fun. I love basketball, but not practicing. I’m just lazy like that.
