One down, one up.

So I got week one at Crumb down and set. I'm thinking that I'm picking everything up fairly quick and should be "fully trained" in no time. I'll only be working night shift, because of school, so that will help limit a lot of what I need to learn. Working with Brandon and Kate also makes it easier, as I like them and already know them very well.

However, school isn't so great. I'm not ready for it. I am, but I'm also not. I am looking forward to something new, yes, but I'm not looking forward to the homework and what not. I am really hoping that I don't need to finished the reading. I have English Q3 and Q4 so I assume I don't need to do anything until then because there is no paper correct? What ever, I don't care. The summer part is only ten points. Ten of like ten thousand points you get in an English class.

This weekend will be quick.
Massive Painting on Labor Day, how fitting.

Well-
Here's to the last week of summer.

Feeling Crummy?

I'm proud to announce, I now have a wonderful job!
I'll be working at Crumb Gourmet Deli starting tomorrow.

It's a very nice sandwich place that I think is better then most all others.

What makes it even better? I live two minutes down the road, and I'll be working
with my best friend, part time after school.

I am very excited I was hired and am ready to get the gas tank consistently full!

Perfect Example of God

Right now in my life, I'm unsure of where to go.

Obviously I need to go to the bathroom and eventualy school, but I'm talking in a year. College is a big thing for me. I had it all figured out and recently 'totally knew' where I was going to go. I wanted to attend UND (University of North Dakota) for a computer science degree. Because of different circumstances and people, currently in my life, I no longer 'totally know' if that is the thing for me.

This year was a spirtual awakening for me, my faith was jump started and I'm headed straight toward 88mph to make the jump. This awakening was amazing, and I would love to help and encourage other highschool students to experience the same thing. This is such an amazing time in my life and I can do so much for Him in my youth. All this being said, the trying thought is weither I want to go to college to become a youth pastor and give back to the programs that have changed my life so much. The only thing stopping one college option or the other is my unknowning knowlage of where God wants me to be.

This morning, I grabbed my Bible to start the day off and God gave me exactily what I needed to hear:

" 2 Obey the king's command, I say, because you took an oath before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry to leave the king's presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases. 4 Since a king's word is supreme, who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm,
and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.

6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,
though a man's misery weighs heavily upon him.

7 Since no man knows the future,
who can tell him what is to come?

8 No man has power over the wind to contain it ^[a] ;
so no one has power over the day of his death.
As no one is discharged in time of war,
so wickedness will not release those who practice it."

Ecclesiastes 8:2-8

This is what I needed, the reassurance that I don't know the plans He has for me, and that I need to obey his command, pray, and seek him. I pray to find an answer pleasing to Him so I can have rest over the stressing idea of college.

Treat yourself right

So I bought myself (half of a ) birthday present, and it's wonderful.

Logitech X-540 Speaker System

I love the system so much. The bass shakes my pants, and the music sounds wonderful. I'll be listening to 70's music on internet radio for a while today.

I just wanted to share my excitement with you.

" Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice! "

God Bless.

You guys are champions!

I'm so stunned by the Olympics. The athletes are amazingly fit in every way. However, Women's Gymnastics in particular astounds me. Even more specific?

Shawn Johnson.

This girl is sixteen years old, and can do more physicaly demanding things then I could hope for.

Seeing the dedication she has for every flip on the balance beam, every spin in the vault; it's inspiring.

It makes me wounder what I could do with such enthusiasm and dedication for God. What amazing feats could I perform if I gave my life fully and completely to God? That surrender has started, we'll see where He takes me.
