a long long time ago...

I just realized my last post was in August.
A lot has happened in my life since then. I am not longer a resident of Russellville, AR. It was kind of sad to say bye to the city I have called home for the past 3 years but I have come to realize it is time to grow up and move on.
I have started an internship at Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM). I am working in the planning department for the NLE11 which is the earthquake drill we are having here in Arkansas in May. After I graduate in May I plan to move to D.C. and try and find a job or at least a paying internship.
well that is an update of my life which is kind of boring here in the town Benton.

I've got Seoul but I'm not a soldier

So I am back from Korea. It was so amazing to go see Gods work in other parts of the world. I really believe that is where he wants me. I felt so at home the whole time I was there. I can't wait to go back.
We taught an English/Bible camp while we were there. The kids to my surprise were really good at English.
There was so much going on and God blessed us many times on this trip. I thank everyone for their prayers and support.

God Bless

Mission Korea!

Well it has come down to it. I leave at 8:30 am from Little Rock to Dallas, then a layover in Dallas till 12:00 for Korea! We will arrive in Seoul Korea Friday July 16th at 4:00 pm their time. I'm really excited about what God has in store for us there. This is going to be short and I plan on keeping this updated while gone. Please pray for our group as we go and spread Gods word. Love you all!

God Bless,

Wow it's already summer!

So it is summer and I just realized that I haven't posted since Spring Break, wow where has the time gone. Anyways 49 days till I leave for Korea!! I'm excited if you can't tell. I know God has some amazing things in store for us when we get there.
My brother and best friend Rachel are getting married next weekend. It is kind of weird yet I wish it would hurry up and be done with.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I don't know what else to put in here.
Well God bless

P.S. this is a shot out to Leah Fulcher, I know I'm a little late (meaning I think it was Easter Sunday I told you I would write a new one) haha

SPRING BREAK!!!

So I leave for New Orleans Sunday morning at 8... I don't know how I feel about leaving that early yet... but I do know I don't even wake up that early for classes so it will be a challenge. I'm nervous about this trip because of my trip there this past summer. But I think that this is going to be a better. I'm trying to talk the group into going to the WWII 4-D museum.... That's right I said 4-D... If we get to go I will be pumped up. But we will probably end up going to the zoo which is lame...

Also I found out that my trip to Korea is going to cost more than what I thought. But I know it will all work out.

I bought Parks and Recreation (a tv show) season 1 at movie gallery here because it is going out of business for $3... I mean what a deal. I also got the office season 5 for the same price. It pretty much made my day and possibly week.

well that's all for now...
be careful on your spring break and try to do something that will glorify God.

God Bless

So just an update on my life...

I'm going on a date tomorrow night. I'm nervous about this it has been quite sometime since the last time I went out on a date. Especially a first date. Wish me luck! We are going to Shorty Smalls in Little Rock tomorrow night. It is a friend of mines brother so it shouldn't be too bad.
Then after that I'm staying the night in Conway with Kayla which makes me really happy! I hope we can do crafts and watch movies all night! haha I love sleepovers!
Thursday in Conway they are having a mock shooting type of thing, I'm looking forward to it because it will be the first hands on thing I have done with my major so far.
I leave for New Orleans the 21st I'm excited about this.
One of my really good friends Haleigh is getting married the 27th which is going to be a very busy day for me. Had her bachelorette party this past weekend it was a blast.
well......

God Bless

just another monday

It has been a while and this post is going to seem like a lot of gripping but I fell like sometimes we just need to get things out there...

These past few weeks I have been thinking about who my real friends are and how on a college campus with so many people someone can feel alone. I really think it is God telling me that I need to focus more on him and not worry about everything. I know he is in control but still I have a problem with maybe leaving someone out and always feel pressure to make sure everyone is invited (because i was that kid in school who never got invited) I know how it feels and I don't want others to feel that way. It is good to feel like someone needs you and wants to talk to you. I think God feels like that a lot of the time with Christians today (including myself) and even though I might feel alone he is always there... I forget this a lot of the time for some reason, it is also hard not to compare yourself to others around you.

Well enough with that... I am excited to say that I might be getting an apartment next year, on campus, but hey it is still an apartment. Also it will be a two bedroom which means I will get my own bathroom!!! I have always and I mean always had to share a bathroom!

I'm going to Conway wed to eat lunch with a great friend of mine...

Also, I'm leaving for NOLA in a few weeks and I am uber excited about this trip... It is with people I don't know which give me the opportunity to show them Gods love. It is not a trip with any religious orginization so I find it kind of reliving.

The Korea trip is looking good also which makes me even happier...

well that is enough rambling for now...

God bless
