Amazingness...

“Dear Lord, grant me the grace of wonder. Surprise me, amaze me, awe me in every crevice of Your universe. Delight me to see how Your Christ plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not His, to the Father through the features of men’s faces. Each day enrapture me with Your marvelous things without number. I do not ask to see the reason for it all; I ask only to share the wonder of it all."--Rabbi Joshua Abraham Heschel

Mini-Vaca.

Hello all.
So, making it a short post: basically: I just went thru one of the hardest times in my life and needed to take an emergency vacation. So I did: to New Hampshire to be with my closest friend in the world--Bethany. And the above on the left is Mercy, her 8 month daughter:) She was born just 2 days after I moved out here... so I was EXTREMELY excited to meet her. And then this guy on the right: you've all seen him on here before, lol: That is Josiah!! But he's totally thinning out, lol... so that's a bit sad: but he's still as irresistable as ever! The morning I left (9/18) I capture him on my camero video singing the "Fruit Salad song" from the Wiggles!! :) That little boy has my heart... :)

Anyways... so yes. Let's see... not much has happened. I started small groups last Thursday, so I was really excited about that. Reality has too many people to really get to know anyone on a personal level--so they have small groups. So I'm really excited.

and oh yeah: my friend Andy: Bethany's husband, back in NH: his music (Praise & Worship) is being reviewed by the NowWorship company!! (you can get their stuff off of t.v. and in stores): How EXCITING is that!! :) So you can check out his stuff at: www.myspace.com/ariseworship and also, www.ariseworship.com (My favorite times ministering in music has been with Andy at Mondanock.... and he let me minister with him again last weekend, which was FABulous.) They are recording their 2nd album: So be looking out for that!!

That's about it for now. Sorry I don't update this very much. Myspace is kind of where I do a lot of my blogging and stuff now... 'cause there's so many people on there! Sorry... anyways.... feel free to leave a comment/msg or email me! Love ya'll!!

I guess...

I guess... that I am as bad as everyone else at blogging, eh?
Whoops, my bad... here are some pics: one over looks part of Ventura (you can probably see my apartment--you just don't know which one it is) and the other is a friend from work, Chantal and I: just before we started playin' volleyball...

Not a whole lot has happened in the last month... been a rough month though: in almost every way... I am going on vacation from Sept.14th-Sept18th... to go be with my best friend Bethany and her family in NH: please keep me in prayer, as I am flying out the night of the 13th.. and I am beginning to remember why I DISlike flying... but I am looking forward to having some time to myself while traveling and watching people... and seeing God's creation (though, that's a bit tough at night, lol)...

NO idea if I'm going back east for Christmas though... though I would love to see you all... :( hhmmm.....

please comment people! I KNOW you read! lol!! and, feel free to come visit me! My friends Nathanael and Lisa were just here for 2 days... as they're on vacation for 10 days... so THAT was FANTASTIC.... :)

and Bible Study is back in swing! Studying the Book of Daniel!! I'm Soooooooooooo excited... as studying that makes me miss the BI. and...

Have I EVER mentioned how much I love my church?

:)
