flow

so i have really settled in here at jmu and have a pretty sweet core group of friends. i dont have a really tight friend that i have back home but its all good and i cant expect that right away u know. I am excited about going home to chill in like two weeks. i have been applying for a ton of jobs to keep my options open for next semester and doing a ton of schoolwork, but learning a lot

the one thing i wanna really step my game and work on is the intimate relationship with God that i am seeking because i realized i wasnt seeking it as much as i should be

relationships

I had a discussion today in my small group about how mens relationships with each other cannot offer certain things that a relationship with a female could provide all physical aside. I really do not agree wit that because I have had so many close relationships with dudes that have offerred me a lot in my life. i have been getting pretty close with my group so i hope i can chill with them friday night and relax before rugby and saturday and when christina comes.

I am continuing to walk with and rely on God and that is going to be tested but if i trust in Him i know ill do fine

renewed

i feel like really renewed right now being here at jmu. I feel like im in a great place figuratively because I am really living for God and a lot of negative things do not really have a hold on me anymore. it feels really great i really feel alive in his presence and maybe ready to venture out again and share that with other people.

work at the library is really sweet, i am in overdrive not taking any risks getting my hw done... i you will def hear back from me about academics

kinda stressin about raisin the money for the ride

interesting

So i have a couple of new interesting things to report on.

1) I was feeling a little overwhelmed on this new rugby team, because there are a lot more talented guys than the willy p team. I would say the top 15 players on each team are really close in skill but JMU has like 30 decent players so it is a deeper team. Its an unfamiliar team to me so i didnt yet have the social aspect to it as WP rugby, but i was the only player on my team to score in the scrimmage today and it was on a really long run to with a spin move mixed in, it felt really good. first game feb 7 against UVA.

2) I start my job on campus on Wed. I am working media services in the lib so i can read and stuff almost the whole shift, very cool

3) I have a buttload of work now being a grad student. It is not as much tests as papers and I have two huge papers due around spring breakish which are going to involve like 10 sources each and prob be about 15 pages in length, so crazy. I am going to start very soon and be doin my thing. wish me luck

Weekend

So i had a pretty good weekend. It started by getting a job at the library at the media services desk which is actually pretty sweet. I met some cool new people at christian fellowship and I am going to the basketball game with a few of them tonight for 1 dollar hot dog night. I have been breaking my bike out a bit which is pretty cool. Also, I have been trying to raise more money for my bike ride. By monday i should be at least a quarter of the way there. ill be in touch

JOBBBSSS

Hey... so I have applied for a job a million places it seems and i havent been able to come down with anything as of yet. I am hoping something comes through, but if not I am feeling pretty comfortable not having fun because this has happened before. When i was at wpu there was a time where I wasnt getting any of the jobs I applied for and then all of a sudden I got the two best jobs on campus at once that helped me really flourish and grow as a person. So I am hoping the same will happen but I am trusting in God that whatever direction he takes me in will be best for me.

Also i really gotta start raising money for this cycling trip.

New friends

Today was pretty sweet, i did a lot of cool stuff in my theory of weight management class including a sweet lab that has a very involved lab report. And it was the first day of rugby practice which looks pretty promising. Tommorrow is the first practice on the field so that is going to be really fun. Hopefully i can run circles around those guys to like at Willy P. Also, I met some great new friends at the small group bible study i went to. Really a great group of guys, continuing to show me that God really sent me here for a reason to allow me to grow in many different facets of life.

goodnight
