So today is the first day I have posted anything since April. I realized just how much I miss blogging. I have been without computer, and internet. This has been such a great summer for me. I have attained autonomy! My appartment, is in Grand Haven, love everything about it. I have a girl, not girlfriend, although that is hopefully on the way. She is a spicy red head from Holland, and the most amazing woman of God I have ever met for her age. A true pillar of spiritual maturity. She is everything I have ever prayed to God I would find someday. I got up and read the most amazing insight into my life. Written by Mr. Oswald Chambers (If you want to check it out look at the devotional for July 31 in "My Utmost for His Highest), just a man who knows what is going on. I was so gripped by my tendencies. That God will see His work through to completion. It was really hopefull. God wants to see my patience reach its full potential. That is something that is meant to be heald for this life, to attain here.

Saw a great insight into my life. God wants me to be whole, and in Him. He wants me to be a whole person, knowing exactly who He made me to be, and somehow letting that be a light to the world. A very great mentor of mine once said that his aspiration was to be a suit that God could wear. I am at my best when I am not me at all but God in me.

Levi came over to get clothes for his fashionable court appearence. Got nailed for possesion and given nine months probation. Its funny to me that my brother is a homosexual and has no dress clothes. My friend Ari told me I should take away his gay card.

Met with a great friend from high school, Heather. It was so good to see her! Her boyfriend (one of the few guys I tolerate well) and her are doin so very well. She has just been in a really interesting place in her life. Great girl, great heart. Living with a great Christian family. Really hoping that she can take the message of Jesus to heart, despite the hurt from the church in the past.

Chilled at Mojo for an hour. Got to meet with one of my mentors, and without question the most intentional and insightful of my mentors. He is just one of those people that really takes the Romans 12:2 renwal passage to heart. Always looking at things differently, great, great writer too. We talked about theologians for a while. Talked a little bit about the work God had been doing in me as of late. He has in so many ways been a catalyst for my character growth in this season.

I miss my friend Justin like crazy! He is doing the Lord's work in some God almost forsaken place, and is undergoing a ton of growth. Working down south at a Christian Leader summit thing. Anxiously anticipating his return.

Came home for a brief snack before work. My friend Emily is leaving on Sunday for good. Very sad, she was in tears. Went to Java. Worked with JR. Way fun. Ben and Jen Robinson came in. Zaq got a new guitar, and Ibanez Artcore. Very sweet!

Returned home and watched some canoodling, and went to bed. Great day!

Shalom
