Living the DASH!
Counting down until graduation seemed like a fun idea...and I am sure come day 1 I will be super thrilled..but those days in between are what suck for us. Right?
MySpace Countdowns
No - actually those days are the crucial days that make the outcome reality. What I do with my time working on this project and what I do with my time spent with people will determine my character and my love for the people I am around.
I once heard the story about the tombstone and the birth date, death date and the DASH in the middle. Its the middle dash that makes the beginning and end significant. How challenging to view it that way, huh?
I've come to realize that God is only going to tell me the next step when I get to it. He does not usually allow me to "preview" what's to come. So I am just chillin' out, all the while trying to make the most of my "here and now" so that my DASH will mean something...so that when I walk across that stage it means something and when someone reads my eulogy I will have left a legacy of service.
Live your life today with confidence that your impact will be great. Tomorrow will have its on worries and needs.

What Do You Feed Yourselves?
So, I've been interested in finding new blogs to follow...I've also been talking to other people to find out who they follow and what they feed themselves. In other words, what are you reading or being influenced by? This is important to acknowledge so that you're not bringing corrupt mind and heart to the forefront for Jesus.
Some blogs I've found to be insightful...

My How a Week Can Change Things...
Until last week when I got the chance to see my roommate and really spill my heart to her about some things going on with me emotional over my past, my present and my future...I began to be released of this pressure of having to be perfect and it helped just to be honest and real. I told her that I had not talked to Lynette in a while and I just really wanted that time so she went on to make it happen. I am so thankful to her for pushing me to do that, because she saw the desperate need for me to talk with my spiritual mentor. I got that opportunity to finally express some hurt and pain I have never dealt with. It was good afterward, but soooo painful to just say it to her face to face. I was fighting tears because I know that what decisions I make in dealing with these types of feelings, pains, scars, and such will be a reflection on my character when I am trying to minister to others. But the more I talk to others about how to reach people the more I realized I needed the same things to be reached and expressed love. (Below is my wonderful mentor and my niece Lauren)
Then on Friday night I got the priviledge of some "down" time so I went to see the Lady Bucs play some Volleyball which they kicked butt! I just sat and was a fan this game, but following that I got some one-on-one time with my Fish. JP and I went to Moe's and then to see a movie. I needed this time because yet another person in my life who seeks to love me and express his concern for my well-being in all areas of my life. I am so thankful for him. (Below - JP modeling on the beach - haha - not bad to look at either, huh!??! haha!)
Once I found out I didn't have to go on the mission trip to Tennessee ... I jumped in the car and drove to Darlington for the night. I got to go to the Sweet Potato Festival for a while, see my Mom, Dad, Brother & Family, and dinner with Aunt Polly and Granny. I also got to spend some time with Granny doing things around her house and talking about life. She is my hero! I am starting to worry about her though because of her health and she is slowing down physically and mentally. As much as I dread Darlington some times -- this weekend was so needed and I loved every second of it. :) (Below: Travis eating some Oreos with his Aunt Tam!; Me and my two God children - Jacob, Tam, Joseph)
Yesterday, I returned to work and to the my Charleston family! I went to Jachin's 2 yr old Birthday party at Ci Ci's Pizza. It was good to be back in my somewhat normal state of mind and loving my family. (Below: Me and Jachin at his party!)
To feel so far from grace and love is not a good feeling at all, but its been incredible to see how God works all things for His good according to His purpose. I am definitely not fine or better or great, but I am on my way to healing from a lot of wounds. I still have a lot of anger, hurt, selfishness and pride in me. Keep praying for me.
For now -- I'm off...
Let's go LADY BUCS SOCCER vs. CCU and LADY BUCS VOLLEYBALL vs. High Point!

ways of this world
I just keep giving in to the ways of the world...
1. I have been looking into an iPhone and changing from Verizon to AT&T, but I have until August 2009.
2. But I did sign up for Twitter...what ever the heck that is. HAHA! Just another stalking method! Check it out (www.twitter.com) and add me!
So aside from that I am half way through the Fall semester which means only 60 days until graduation. That's right...December 13th... Mark it on the calendar! As DMX would say...Party "up in here...up in here!" I just took my mid-term which was on the WHOLE text book..what??? We're only half way through the semester, right? I made an 82 (C) on it and I took the Major Field Test which was extremely boringgg and three hours long. My focus is now left on this Business plan. If you have any insights to writing one of these let me know!
I am working on my personal website to get picture galleries up, but I am not sure I know how to accomplish this. But check out this cool thing...http://csusports.athleticsite.com/page.asp?articleID=2118. They put up these wallpapers I designed on the CSU sports website. They acknowledged my contribution and linked to my website. That's why I want to get my site more sophisticated.
so long for now...
