quick update

i really am still alive.

and since i have been scolded for not keeping up here, i will just write quick note that can keep you occupied and pondering til i can get through finals.

believe it or not some big things have been happening since i last wrote, and weird as it may sound and frustrating as it may be, i have been trying to simplify my speech by not justifying myself. to be honest, i don't really know what that does, but i got the idea from richard foster and he's a pretty bright guy, and i did notice how much i try to justify my actions. in fact, i believe i am doing it here...

anyways, it is late, and it has been a long week, so i will be brief (as brief as i can anyways)

firstly and most significantly, i missed a shift at my framer job and was subsequently fired. That will teach me for working for a corporation and not for people.

secondly, i switched my program of study from Marriage and Family Therapy to Professional counseling with a specialization in trauma. i am pretty excited about this.

my family was together for a few hours this thanksgiving, so that was nice while it lasted, but i worked everyday, so it was a little anti-climactic.

i have four papers due before the end of the semester and a few finals, but all that will be done within the next two weeks and then it is back to working everyday.

I still have 1/3 of the amount for this semester left to pay for, so lots of prayers for provision would be appreciated or else i will have to skip spring semester again.

Finally, my good friend Jeffrey has been on my mind lately. Please pray that cancer would have no place in his body.

i really miss all of you, especially during the holidays, i am kind of plugging my ears to the Christmas music right now because, frankly, the thought of it being december makes me feel a little panicky.
