| Boy Howdy!
I know that most of you who check this have been turned off by my lack of participation, but know that i am alive and kickin. That accident with the napalm and baking soda couldnt stop me.
Anyway, I think that checking in with someone is more fun if its from the horses mouth, but due to the fact that everyone is around the U.S. I offer you a short check in of my summer so far, and some revelations that I had.
-I really want kids someday.
-I could really use some scholarships.
-I kind of want to change my major to filmmaking/cartoonist/guitar player and singer/traveler/actor/superstud/wolverine/education...but I dont think that ISU offers that one.
-Im going on 3 vacations within the next month, to Wisconsin, Michigan, and COLORADO!
-I have to get all my wisdom teeth out.
-Baba O' Riley by the Who is a sweet song, so is Waiting On the World to Change by John Mayer.
-the future is exciting, but i feel as if though i am stuck in a web thats made out of conformity, apathy, and oppression, and I have to cut through it and get out.
-I've gained a taste for bluberries.
-I am way excited for this semester and am blessed! to have friends to come back to that are sooo cool, and still have just as cool ones at home.
Thats that. Feel free to comment. For those in Colorado, i am looking forward to seeing you guys. Peace out!

| So I have been realizing that i really need to do something this summer. I have friends that are doing extremely unique and interesting things, and I am so glad that I am home, but i just want to make sure that i dont waste this time. So i am really gonna push for some change and growth. Following up on my last post, if i dont do that, well i would just feel unaccomplished.
I am bored of the same old things. Change is just as inviting as it is difficult, So I need to set goals and attain them.
I think that if we're not constantly pushing for a better life, a better world, etc...than we are just wasting our time.
But to counter that, I wonder how much focus we should put on being satisfied with where we are. I think we need both of these things. So...thats my dillema.
Im in a transition from one lifestyle to another, with different people in my life, all of whom i love. But it is a change nonetheless.
I guess thats just the way it goes, i think i gotta embrace it, while still holding onto the things that are constant. Namely God, and to a lesser but also important extent, the wonderful people in my life.
Trust that change can be good, and so can constancy. God is certainly a God of both these things.
Love to hear from you.

| Well, its getting to be that time again. Its the point in the school year when all your stuff in packed away, you are getting down to your last final, and you begin to reminisce about this past year.
Its incredible to remember who i was, what i did, and what was going on in me almost a year ago. I am different, but i am also the same.
I look back 2 years ago, graduating high school. Was it really that long ago that I was relishing my senior opens, going to mcdonalds and main dog for lunch, and returning for Government class?
3 years ago I was deciding that i wanted to become a teacher, and that i wanted to pursue God.
4 years ago, I was probably working at Jewel...glad i changed that.
20 years ago...well, i was 2 months old...so i was probably soiling myself...
I am sad that things change, but so hopeful as well. I truly relish the fact that I will have different friends, different thoughts, and be a different person a year from now.
However, this can be an extremely scary thought, and no doubt is it uncomfortable.
That is why we need to trust. To trust in God that His will is the best, that even if we die, God is in control.
What an enormous burden he has lifted off of our shoulders, yet what a responsibility we have been given as well: to give Him control.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Trust that change can be good: thats my two cents for today.
Feel free to comment on it.
