All is moved, now to settle
After a long drive in a truck that was 12′ longer that I had originally ordered, my stuff is moved in to the new apartment. It’s been a long week, but a good one. I’m now currently trying to settle in and learn my way around. I’ve been driving like a maniac the last two days trying to learn how to get places. It’ll come with time, but is a bit overwhelming for now. I’ll get there.

Changes come fast
It’s difficult to believe that only two weeks ago my life was completely changed. The past two weeks have both flown by and seem like forever ago. I have accepted a new job, quit my old job, packed my life into an oversized (by 12 feet) Uhaul, and said goodbye to many who never saw it coming. Why? What would cause me to do all this?

Last Ohio Party
The end has really started to set in. I realized last night how much time I don’t have to pack. Hopefully, I’ll be set to go by Wednesday.
Also, tonight is the last big celebration party. Many students and friends will be over (our house, 6pm-whenever). I can’t wait to see everyone again, even though it will be a bit sad that I probably won’t see some of these people until heaven. I’m very excited though and cannot wait to be on the road (mostly because that means I’m done packing).
Yes, my time in Ohio is almost over. God knew this day was coming and has everything under control. That’s what I’m resting in right now.
Another chapter, only a week away
I’ve been wanting to post this for a while now, but have had several different paths running through my head, so this should be an interesting collaboration.
Just over a week ago, I received a call that would change my life - nothing tragic, but totally scary. For months now, I have prayed to God for answers, direction, knowledge, some little crack in a door so that I would know where I was to go next. His response to this point has always been, “Just wait. I hear you, but wait a bit longer.” On and on this has gone, driving me totally mad and getting so angry at times. However, last Monday, God said, “Here. You’re ready now.”
Why can’t we get it?!?!
I saw this story online today and the beginning made me so angry. I can’t wrap my head around why Christians can’t seem to understand that the arts in general are not totally evil. Here’s a guy who has a great platform to affect those directly around him in an environment that could use it, and Christians are disowning him because he won’t sing only Christian songs. Where does this come from?
I would understand some argument if he was singing songs that were somewhat questionable, but his songs are either classics or no where in the realm of objectionable.
I’m glad that those who actually know Chris are standing up and saying that he lives out what he says. Hopefully, it’s their voices that will ring out over those who are just judging him based on their own prejudice.
Ok, done ranting… at least for now. Just had to state that, it was driving me crazy today.
