November 2001

Well, it's the third to last friday of the semester. I have so much to do before next friday and I have no clue how I am going to get it all done. I have to write a script for a 15-minute video for TV Production class, 2 group presentation thingies, a 5 page report on a book and a test. I am so ready for this semester to be over. It's been a good one, I met and started dating Brandy, who has been a great blessing to me. Also, Crusade has been setting up awesome things, I am excited for next semester, I need to just submit myself more to God's leading, to let Him <b>really</b> control when and where I do things, especially bearing witness to people. I really do want to be a slave to Christ alone, but my own will and stubbornness get in the way a whole lot.

Today was a cool day when I woke up. I missed my Interpersonal Comm class (all we're doing is going over that book though) it was crazy storming, coming down in sheets and the whole deal, it was great. I had to go to work though and I didn't want to walk in it, luckily my roommate Carrie let me use her car since she doesn't have Friday classes (stinkin' art majors!). It has been a good day though and I am in a good mood. I think we're going bowling tonight, but I think I want to go climbing first… maybe I should give Eric a call.

Oh, and the other thing. After talking to a friend of mine the other night I started re-thinking my relationship with Brandy. After I a while I realized that we have been together about 3 months so far, and what I have noticed is that usually around the 3rd month of any relationship I have ever been in I start getting doubs, well, I was having them. I really thought about it and put some prayer into it. What it comes down to again, is that I need to pour myself into God, Brandy is second to Him, and I need to always remind myself of that. I do love her and I am extremely happy with our relationship, I just need to let God direct it more and not submit all the time to what her or I want. The doubts aren't gone completely, but they're not something that's a threat to Brandy and I, they're just things that I need to work though and pray about.

Well, I am outie… I need to do something, like talk to people.

Well, I downloaded the program that makes it so I don't have to work through my web browser to make entries, which is cool and all, but it's a little wierd for now.

Today was a nothing day. We had house dinner and that was the exciting part of the day. Brandy,Nate, Glenn, Phil and Guy all came for dinner which Megan and I made (mostly her). Tonight was my first night not going to worship team practice, it was nice to just sit around and do nothing.

After they were done with ROCK, Greg and Megan Moon and I went to the Copper Coin to chill for a little bit. Megan brought her friend Jess who didn't talk to us much, mostly to her boyfriend(?) John. Anyhow, pretty un-eventful and now I smell like smoke.

I think I am going to go to bed now. I need to get up at 8:30…. 5 hours is not enough!
