Life is busy and that is the way I like it. I have been blessed by God with so many opportunities throughout the summer, here at Asbury and most importantly, my relationships. I am engaged to the most wonderful woman imaginable, she is so incredibly good to me. I proposed in Rome on a cruise because she deserves nothing less. I could talk about her forever. I have had the summer of a lifetime. I got to sing in the most amazing places, namely, St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, St. Ignatius, St. Paul's. Cities such as Palestrina, Florience and Rome were made even more special because I got engaged in Italy. Wonderful memories were made and are relived often. I then trekked out to Africa with the SSC to Kenya. We had breathtaking experiences in which we were stretched in maturity and given the oportunity to see how God works across the globe. I now have many penpals from Kenya who keep me updated. I return to plan a wedding with my wonderful fiancee. She is so organized in that we do not get married for over 8 months and already has everything planned and booked. I am so proud of the woman she is and the mother she will become some day. I'm back at Asbury now as Executive Treasurer, Jesus in Godspell, taking 19 credit overload hours and working 9 hours a week. Many people cringe at that and say I am overloading myself but I do better with a full schedule. I do not do so weel with idle time. With my schedule full I am more organized, ahead of assignments and end up getting more done than if I had an open schedule with which to do more work. I'm just more efficient this way. I realize barely anyone reads this anymore which is why I feel comfortable writing this and not feeling like I'm building myself up. I am now and have been recently using this as a tangible way to thank my God. I come on and thank him, particularly when I feel overwhelmedly blessed and type what is in my heart. You are fine to read but please do not forget to thank God for what he has done for you and please remember to pray for me that i continue to keep my eyes on what he has for me. |
