I got to talk to Cameron today. I found out he's gonna be on the same team as Janet and I. Yay! I'm REALLY glad. I think we have a nice little team going. I know it's gonna be a rough experience in Japan for us, but it's cool cause we'll be able to pray for each other and learn about each other and just grow together as we try to befriend the ( Read more... )

Midterms drive me nuts! Arggghh.. I've been thinking about getting out of ICS.. I only have 7 more required courses plus a thesis, so I might as well pick up that B.S. But after that, I don't know if I can take programming as a job from 9-5 for five days a week. It's decent money, but I need social interaction or at least creativity. I've ( Read more... )

What has Jer been up to? So I've been programming for my Artificial Intelligence class. It's actually kind of interesting for me. We're programing an AI for the board game Othello (also called Reversi). =) And yeah, Othello is gonna consume me at least till the end of the quarter. It's a nice break from all the networking stuff Brian and I deal ( Read more... )

Hmm.. It seems like I go so often to AZ and I update my journal so little that every other LJ entry seems like it's about Arizona. Hahah. Dang, I realize how much I love those kids though. I even went through a short post-partum depression being away from them. This trip was PARTICULARLY hard to say goodbye though. I have SOOO many deep thoughts on ( Read more... )

Why is God SO GOOD to me? Why doesn't he let me stray far? Why does he love ME? Who am I to deserve his love, to KNOW His love? Sigh... I don't know why I sigh. I don't understand everything about life, about this world, or even God.
I'm just totally soaking in God's grace right now. Overwhelmed by it actually.=) And it's a good feeling.

Thanks

I just had an excellent conversation with my friend Alicia. She's REALLY seeking, and REALLY getting into New Age stuff. If you're reading this right now, could you just say a quick PRAYER for my friend Alicia ( Read more... )

So I went to Arizona this summer and spent my fourth birthday there. =) It went SUPER. Some things God has taught me through this year's YSMP experience ( Read more... )

=) I LOVE my summer so far. It's slow at times at home, especially helping out at home and stuff, but for the most part my summer is EXCELLENT.

I'm bonding with the parents at home, meeting excellent people on awesome trips like STP and YSMP. And now I'm gonna get to live with John Lee for the rest of my summer. >)
