If your guess was a macbook then you were right! My mom sent me one of her workers macbooks that he didn't want anymore for about $800. I am so stoked about having it.
In other news, I think I got the sermon down that I am going to speak. Jerry wants me to preach it to him sometime next week *shrugs* He may like it, or He may tear it to shreds (lovingly of course >_<). And also, if there is a PlanetSmoothie near any of you I would recommend their three cheese pita pizza, it is delish.
In other, other news I would just like to say that I love you guys and hope you are all doing well. I need to talk to some of yous sometime soon so call me (I'm almost always free, and I don't know when you guys are free). See ya!

*Insert Generic Title Here*
So... Yesterday was a pretty long day. It started at 5:00am and ended at 11:30pm.
Every Tuesday morning the church has a prayer meeting at 6am so me being the slow riser in the morning needed to get up an hour early so I could take a shower and stuffs. But the prayer meeting was really good, and honestly I think it was something I needed. Plus I got to read some of Hebrews and Proverbs before I darted out the door and headed to the church. Then afterwards Jerry (the pastor) and I headed to a coffee shop where we stayed for about two hours doing this and that. While there I registered for the School of Biblical Evangelism. Anyone remember that book I was reading last semester of principles of evangelism? Well guess what, it's the same book! *falls out of chair* Although from the way Jerry talks he actually gets me excited to read the thing and actually learn, who would a thunk it?
Anywhos after that we went to Larry (he's the youth pastor) where we stayed for a bit, he took off and I began to work on the mini quater pipe a little. Apparently the masonite was bubbling because we hadn't put enough screws ins the boards. Go figure. It rained and I chilled doing nothing really except checking e-mail when the internet worked. Then it stopped raining and a skater came over. So he and I talked a bit while he skated the pipe. He was a cool kid, I don't know why so many people hate skaters. They only act the way they do half the time because society has said that's what they are and that is the way they are treated. disgusting! It reminds me too much of Toccoa. I hate that fact.
Well that's a bit of an update on my day yesterday. So today I have to work on my first sermon evar!! Liek I have never actually preached what I would call a sermon. sunday school lessons for teens, and devotionals are not sermons!! Oh well, this will lead to a good learning experience I believe, and I think it is awesome that I'm getting paid to have an intimate relationship with Christ. I LOVE THIS JOB!! I am sorry, but I really do have the best job in the world.
So this sermon is supposed to be about Communion. He didn't actually specify what about communion so I figured I would talk about Why we participate in communion and why it's necessary that we do. I am really nervous about it. Even if I don't actually share it, which I am pretty sure I won't, I still get butterflies in my tummy when I think of standing in front of Adults, at age 20, knowing not nearly as much as I would like to in the experience of preaching, and giving a message that would probably last about 20 minutes tops. I never have been long winded when it comes to teaching. Now talking to friends on the other hand... well, I don't think I am, but well, you would have to ask them not me ^_^
So thanks for reading all this, and thanks for your prayers guise!!
much love to yas! Have an awesome Day!!

Chao Are Cute
What up people? I know I know. I haven't updated in like 3843843501019875766349298 years, and by that I mean maybe a week. Anyways, I just wanted everyone to know that I'm not dead! I am currently residing in Clarksville, TN and will be for the next year. But most of you already knew that.
I have enjoyed my first week of interning, and it definitely isn't like anything I could have expected if I was expecting anything. I really don't have too much to say other than that I am definitely happy with where I am and that only comes from God. On the negative side, I am not around friends or family, and I miss my girlfriend lots, but I know that I can handle not seeing her until December. Although if God asks me to not go in December I think I will cry.
As for the title. Well suffice to say I have been playing Sonic games lately. I beat Sonic Adventure and now am working on Sonic Adventure 2 and then After that I would work on Sonic Heroes, but I don't have it for Gamecube, so I will move on to Shadow the Hedgehog. And then once I'm done with all those sonic games I may play through my Zelda series: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess. After that I might tackle Gauntlet. That should keep me occupied for six months (all these games). Anywho, that's all for now. I will update some other time.

Life Is A Bit Topsy-Turvy
Well love is great, and God is good. Despite these two great facts, life has been rather chaotic. Not physically, but spiritually it has been everywhere, and lately I have been feeling a bit lost. Not knowing what I am going to do for the fall, because Toccoa is definitely not looking like an option at this point, which is a little sad, but honestly I am calm and have peace. So although I don't know what is in store for me this year, I do know and rely fully on the fact that God is in control.
I have been offered an internship with a pastor in Kentucky. I met him at a camp/retreat two years ago, and he offered me an internship last year. Which leads me to why I am making this post. I don't really know what is to become of me and where I am going but I do know now that God wants me to take up this opportunity to learn and be trained under a pastor and youth pastor. The thing is there is no guarantee of anything except that it is where God wants me to be. I don't know if I'll be payed anything, if I have a place to stay yet, or even what I am doing. And despite all these uncertainties I am completely serene when I think about all this. Which is just another confirmation that this is where I am being led. I don't know how long I'll be doing this. I don't really know anything haha.
The downside to this is that I don't think that I'll be able to go to Dustin's wedding or Chile which is almost heart wrecking because I haven't seen her for almost a year, and it hurts that I may not be able to see her this summer. But again despite all this I am at peace, and I already told God that I would be willing to forgo Chile if that is what I was asked to do. *sigh*
So to all you faithful readers, know now that my life is about to make a huge leap in a direction I have never considered before and because of that it will probably be a huge changing experience. So all your prayers would be most appreciated. I'll post when I can.
Later Guys.
Much love from the bottom of my heart

Consume
How did I get here?
Where did things go wrong?
What happened to my hopeless abandon,
Or my strength to resist all?
The battles linger on,
But I have no strength to give.
I am falling into the abyss,
And there is no return.
Yet still you love me,
And offer your hand in help.
I can only stare in disbelief
So this is grace, so this is love.
What did I do to deserve this undying passion?
What did I do to earn your love?
There is nothing I can offer to you,
Nothing worth giving to one such as you,
You consume me.
Like a raging fire,
I am consumed by you.
I am never alone, when I am with you,
I feel as though my reach is boundless.
To you I give my body and soul.
For your unending love, I give my life.
Please stay with me,
Until eternity takes me home.
