| Thank you, all of you ,who celebrated my birthday with me! I had such a fun time that night! For being my last birthday before I enter the real world work force permanently, I had an awesome birthday . . . and its all due in part to Katie! Thanks for everything babe!
I hope everyone is doing well as we're a few weeks into the new school year. | | |
| Forgive me for the long time of silence. This summer has been crazy for me (and I've also been lazy).
I know its nothing new, because everybody on earth so it seems is aware of my accident by now, but yes I was in the car accident and it was crazy . . . God worked a miracle.
Health wise I feel great! I was only on pain killer for 4 more days after I left the hospital (i was in the hospital for 2 nights and 3 days, as I think you already know). I still felt a little pain on the right rib cage where I fractured my 9th & 10th ribs. But ever since the third or fourth week of June I have felt great!
The main concern is to protect my liver from getting hit or hurt again from such causes as contact sports. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I have never felt any actual pain from my liver. Although it had a contusion I never felt that, so its sort of hard if not annoying having to over-protect something I have never felt (if that makes sense).
Thank you so much for all the prayers, love & support for me this summer. I have been so blessed by you and everyone else as I have come out of such a milestone in my life. God has certainly been working in my life this summer. You can be praying that the job thing would get going for me. I was hired just two days prior to the accident to be a cook at Boone Tavern, downtown Columbia. But more importantly be praying that I would actively seek after the Lord and open my eyes wider to the great things He has done in my life. Although I have seen & have been amazed at what happened I in a sense was becoming numb to it. I've been staying at home during the day, no job no car and have wasted days away, not using them to the fullest or seeking the Lord out. I have not been using these moments of silence to reflect on things with the Lord. I've cluttered them up with gibberish and TV, etc.
In other words be praying that I would begin each day with the Lord and that I would seek and live out my productive purpose each day during this season of life. (p.s. pardon me for the rambling)
Despite the things I have just mention, I must say how incredible its been to witness the beginnings of relationships changing for the glory of God! Nothing was sweeter than the love God poured on me through Katie and my parents (& family/friends too) as I was lying on the hospital bed. Katie and I are at a new level, a more serious stage of our reltionship AND my parents are so much closer with Katie now. . . . going back in time I would not change a single thing that happened to me, knowing now the incredible God ordained results from the accident.
God is good, all the time. And all the time God is good! | | |
| Dessert of the week: vanilla icecream with reeses pieces and heath bar syrup . . . . not to mention the Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat!
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Eph. 2:8-9

| There's nothing sweeter than BBQing with your friends at each other's homes! This time of the year is so wonderful.

| i don't know what to say, i'm embarassed at how long its been since i've written . . . mizzou beat ku today so that was cool (and ohio state beat #1 ranked Illinoi, so that's really cool!). academically, lifes has been cool as i have been registering for the summer and fall semesters and just having things come together as i see myself finishing college in a year . . . . which is crazy to think about.
Hot Fuss by killers is an awesome cd and speaking of they blay at the Pageant in May . . . so i want all of you to be there. Last week i went with Katie and some other awesome friends to see 4 punk bands at the blue note. Let's just talk about how cool the moshing was.
