Mini-Posts

There's been a lot going on lately in my life and just a bunch of stuff that I wish I could put into full posts but would take a ridiculous amount of time and right now I simply don't have that. So with that mouthful out I came up with a plan to preserve my sanity and not spend an entire month trying to write it all. I'm going to devote a singular paragraph to each individual topic that's spinning around in my mind right now. That's good because a paragraph is only 3 to 6 sentences which keeps me from rambling and from just typing about whatever first pops in my head, like right now I'm not sure if it's raining outside cause I hear something that sounds like it but I've also got my music going. Now that I've gotten that bit out on the table let's begin.


I found a church up here in the city that I think I'm going to try. After checking out its website it seems like it might be pretty cool. I just know that it won't be near as cool as going to New Life and hearing a great word from Sam. I've also looked at a few others so I'll probably give them a try too unless I just get an amazing sense of peace from the Lord when I go tomorrow. I'm kinda looking forward to going out and testing the waters here, seeing exactly what I'm up against.

My roommates are amazing. It's only been two days and I know it'll be a fun year. I've been blessed by God for having such roommates. Scott is about 6'6" and really good at basketball so we'll try to put a 3 on 3 team together. Mark is also tall (6'4") and really into 80's hair bands like Poison and Motley Crue. I'm really going to enjoy living with them.

The only thing that I'm nervous about are my classes. I'm taking 19 credit hours which basically means a butt load. However, Dessi, a girl in the room next to me, is going to be in alot of the same classes with me so we'll get a nice little study group going here once classes kick up. My classes also start really early and that's no fun but what can ya do right?

All of a sudden it seems like everyone, or only a couple (my estimate could be off), has started to blog and are now chatting about each other's blog and just getting in on the whole deal. I don't like saying this but I feel maybe jealous or something. It seems like "Hey back off! I was here first." Writing has been my thing to release whatever was within me when I couldn't find anyone to have a conversation with about it. And these new bloggers just have this knack to be great at anything and everything they do. Maybe I'll take my blog "off-line" and just make it a little electronic journal, except the whole point for blogging in the first place is to let other people see it and hope that they let you know what they think about it. Oh well, under the radar works for me just fine.

I'm not incredibly homesick yet, only a smidge. It still feels like a vacation and I'll be getting back on the plane to come home any time. I know it's gonna hit me like a brick here soon though. I also don't have very many pictures to put up in my room so if my friends who are reading this would like to send me some here's my email: bosox_355@hotmail.com. I think I was able to spend time everybody one last time and say farewell except there is one person I didn't get a chance to really spend time with...

I wish I could get connected with a cool Christian kid here soon. I realize it's only been three days and not everyone is on campus yet. It's just a matter of trusting in the Lord.

That could be a whole length post easily, just trusting in God through all times. Trust Him that He's got a plan for some small town Kansas kid in the big city out on the east coast. It's going to be a struggle to constantly keep that in mind and that is a big area that I need prayer for. There are tons of things that God simply takes care of and all required by me is trust. So please pray that I could find incredible trust to put in the Lord.
