SOOOOO I had a great Christmas and new years, it was full of hanging out with people and family, all of the family was in town. So at this point of the game we are supposed to make some new year resolutions... yeah that's what I thought. Good job if you did i give you some cookies, i mean health bars ;-)
So for all of those coke drinkers or Cheerwine drinkers, you would have been proud. I went another year and ten days without drinking one, so of course i had one or two or TWELVE! Cheerwines in celebration, ( and no not all at once, just over a thirty minutes time frame.) It makes me think immediately of Camp Rockmont every time, drinking that Nectar of the gods, felt so right.
But this year I am doing all water, and a few adult beverages here and there. nothing too crazy, but I thought before I embark on the Journey of the MOOSE, I should get used to just bottled water and be happy with that, an occasional brew, ( at least that is what I hear).
Enough about that...
Life is Great! Jesus is the man as always and is looking on me with much favor. The support is rolling in and God is providing. I am not far from my goal but still a few speed bumps to roll over and things to take care of before I can tell Carol(my mother) to do the Victory dance, but she would argue that she is already doing the victory dance. But needless to say God is faithful and is plenty in this time of little. I am so grateful for ever contribution that I receive, i do pray that God blesses you for your giving TEN FOLD!
The next step for me is moving to Union Mills Co. to C.I.T for training, I will be enrolling in a Cross Cultural course. ( i thought i was done with school) It covers the basics that you need to know when moving to the field and dealing with another culture for the first time. basic language, DO's and DONT's, places you should and shouldn't be, they think of everything. I hear really good things about this course.
Life is still in a weird state for me. Being done with something(college) that was filling up so much of my mental, spiritual, and emotional self for so long, then feeling like I have being thrown out of a fast moving ride will take some time to get used to I'm not superman, or MacGyver, or Michael Haun. ( but i am trying) I am just waiting for the dust to settle(if ever). While i wait, i try to practice good habits because I know it will be that much more difficult when i am all alone, and no one telling me to do something... But this whirl wind that I am in is preparing me for something I can not see, but I do know that it is great. Maybe the the dust won't settle for a reason. Maybe I am not supposed to be getting comfortable. Things are about to change! do I know that? REALLY? DO I?
God still is being amazing, so is my family and friends and people who are supporting me.
Things you can be praying for:
- DR Congo (Beni)
- the people that are already over there
- Brandon Holmes my good buddy and room mate of four years, who is in that in between place with me. that he can find his calling, and some direction.
- August Short another one of my past room mates who was seriously sick with some fluid in his lungs (pulmonary edema). He is doing better now but still pray.
- my heart
- MY WIFE! duh! yes you can pray for her
- and my family
That should be good for now.
PEACE from the
M O O S E
