Well, nothing really new to talk about. Oh, except I did buy my plane tickets to San Francisco and Nevada! I'm so excited to go down there! See Justin, I am coming to visit! I get to see a bit of California too, because I land in Oakland at like 12:30 and the wedding isn't until 7:00pm, so I'll be going to my hotel in San Francisco and go from there to whatever, that will be interesting!
On the College front, I just got my SAT Prep book, OOOHHHH MY! It's so big! I'm a bit intimidated by the SAT's! But I know that I'll do great! :) (I hope!) I applied for FAFSA and of course they say I make too much to get the Pell Grant, but luckily God has blessed me with incredible Grandparents who have offered to pay for College. I still need to talk over specifics with them though, because I need to figure out if I'm going to attend fulltime or part time. My dad asked me tonight if I was ready to go to a University or if I should start at a Community College. I'm not sure, I've asked myself the same thing. What do ya'll think? Community College or University?
Anyways, I gotta go for now, I just got home from my niece's 4th Birthday Party! Yup, Stephanie is already 4!!

School, work, trips, etc
Lately I've been getting things together so that I can go to school next fall. I'm so thankful to see even just a glimpse of what God has planned for my life. I'm such a thinker that most of the time I think that I have to have it all figured out before I can take a step or make a move, but God's really challenged me asking me if I really trust Him and I've come to realize that in the last 7 years that I've been saved I heard of His faithfulness and I saw His faithfulness in action, but I never trully believed His faithfulness until this last month or so. That still small voice wasn't loud enough most of the time to break through the thoughts that normally run a muck in my head. Until finally it happened! As I was at the GU conference in Portland during worship God said, Stop arguing with me, stop fighting what I have for you, stop thinking so much! I am faithful, I am here, Don't you know ME by now? What makes you think you have to have it all figured out! Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
It's amazing how much clarity you receive when God speaks! I went from living life, going to work, hanging out with friends to having a real purpose, a real meaning, I finally understood why it is that I'm different from the rest, why I always end up in the secular world. He's placed me there to touch my generation, to show those that have walked away from Him that He's faithful.
I'm so excited to go to school this fall! I think that it's the beginning of a great career, not for a career's sake, but for Ministry sake! He needs more Christians in the Business world. Christians that will not be afraid to stand up for what is right, not be afraid to love someone for who God sees them to be and not their actions.
That reminds me! I'm so tired of Christians that say "love the person and not the sin", yet the second Friend #1 has a problem and doesn't know how to get out of it, Friend #2 leaves them behind only to say that they have "back-slidden". I'm tired of people going to their friends and saying "we see this thing that you're doing wrong, that you are obviously not where you should be," yet instead of helping to find the solution, they become part of what the problem was in the first place by treating them as if they're a horrible person, taking things away that they once loved.
Ok, I'm done ranting! Sorry, I started out all excited and happy, only to have that thought take over my post (see I think too much!). It's true though, there are so many Christians out there like that.
Well, it's been a busy few months with work. I still love my job! 4 out of the 5 months that I've worked there I've had the highest revenue out of the whole team. God is good!! Oh, so one of the things that I'm going to school for is Business Administration with an emphasis in Management. I was talking to the McAlpine's after I got back from Portland and I came to the realization that I'm, as Ed put it, Management material! The things that I enjoy, the things that drive me at work, yeah, pretty much fall under the management area. My boss, who is the Revenue manager, always calls me the future Revenue Manager of the Salish :)
Nothing in the man department. People are always saying that they have someone in mind for me, but they never step up and take the effort of introducing us. That's ok though. I have more of myself to work on first, God wants me completely, and that's what I want right now too!
Hope everyone is doing well! So excited to go see Kurt, Mary, Karon and Justin in April! Yup, I've found dates that work for my schedule, their's and the airfares are rockin' right now!! California and Nevada here I come! Watch out!
