Kindness

This is just an awesome picture with a great saying,

I just want to encourage all of you to love and appreciate each other unconditionally as Christ does.

Mondays

So today was a freaking long day. Every Monday I have to be in the training room at 7am for a weekly meeting. Then I work in there from 8-11am which is pretty boring because not very many people like to come in for things like treatment and rehab in the morning so I just sit there and read for class or something. Then I have class from 11-1:15. Class was pretty good today I learned quite a bit about the foot and toes. After class my buddy Thomas and I ate lunch. We had a great conversation about Jesus Christ! I took Thomas to a campus ministry thing last week and he told me that he liked it and I feel that he wants to start changing his life around for God. That makes me so happy because he is such an awesome guy. Then I had to be back in the training room for softball from 6-9:30pm which gets a little boring as well but, the girls are pretty goofy so I'm not too bored.

This semester is going good so far and I am learning a ton from class and from the training room. The new roommate is a great Christian guy named Ryan which is kind of funny because it isn't much different from Brian(B-Rich). I have to say that I do miss B-Rich a ton though because he is an awesome guy and we had so much fun together. I love you bro!

I wish I could work up at camp this next summer but I will not be able to because I have to be here the whole month of august for athletic training. The good news though is that Brad Hixson might come down and live with me in Vegas for the summer and we will work construction together. That would be awesome because he is an amazing wonderful guy.

Where I Live

My Life Be Like...

I am so tired. Last night was a long night. If you don't know, I play the drums in the worship band for a gathering called SNL(salt n light) which the campus ministry puts on. The ministry is called Master Plan Ministries. It is the euivilant to campus crusade which we are connected with. Well last night I brought one of my close friend whom I play soccer with to SNL. He liked it which is exciting and said that he would like to go again next week. After that we have another gathering called APEX which stands for After Party Extra. It is basically a time in which anyone on campus can come hang out with us at the Student Life Center and play Basketball, Soccer, volleyball, Badmitten, Dodgeball, and have free pizza and drinks from 9pm-12am.

In the middle of all this fun and excitement we have something called halftime. It is a time when everyone takes a break, congregates into a room, and someone shares their testimony with the group. Last night was interesting because there were quite a few kids there that were drunk. Not just your average quite drunk, but your noise obnoxious friendly drunk. I'm glad they were there. Then after that I came back to my room and tried to play around with my blog settings. It is so confusing because I cant figure out how to do any of the things that I want to do to design it. I'm over it though.

Today is a whole other story. I woke up this morning at about 6am to the after shock of a migrane. At first I couldn't figure out why my head was hurting so I just laid there in bed confused about what I was feeling. Then I got up and took some aspirin and fell back asleep. Then at about 9am the phone rang and it was the Athletic Trainer/Boss telling me that I had to go to Farmington today with the Softball team for their practice at 10. So I got out of bed with a throbbing headache and got ready. We left here at 11 and didn't get back until 5. I really do like the whole athletic training thing but sometimes I wish I was getting paid for it. Yep that's right I work in the training room for like 16 hours a week and don't get paid for it. I love it.

I watched Daddy DayCare with some friends tonight and I thought it was hilarious. I defiantly recommend that movie to those of you who have not seen it yet. It is a good clean comedy that everyone can watch and enjoy. Well I know it is only 10pm but I'm tired and sore from working out (for like the first time in 3 months) yesterday so I'm going to bed.

First Time

Wow! So I did it. I have started a blog. In the past I always told my self that I would never start one of these because I hate to type. Well I still hate to type but I figure this will be a good way for me to just write my thoughts down and to maybe keep intouch with those that I don't get to talk to all the time.

So, it begins. My life has been pretty wild lately. School has been kicking my butt. If you don't know my major is in athletic training at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO. I was received into the athletic training program at my school this semester which take up about 16 hours of my time each week, outside of classes. Also Rachel and I broke up over Christmas break, which is real hard for both of us, but I am just trusting that God knows what He is doing and I hold fast to:
Romans 8:28-"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"- NASB.
So things might seem to be a little hard for me right now but I have hope that it is all within God purpose.

Today has been a good day. It has been snowing or raining all day which kind of sucks. I'm the kind of person that doesn't like snow very much just because all the things I love to do outside are put on hold until it melts. I can't play soccer, or Frisbee for like 3 months. I do have a snowboard so I could go do that but I don't have a pass which makes it real expensive. I will give you this much though, the snow is extremely beautiful and it make the air smell refreshing. Anyway, Tonight should be pretty chill, I have to be in the training room with softball from 5-10 and then I shall hit the sack. Well that's good enough, I'm outty 5 o. Peace
