Big Changes:)

It's been a while since my last update and I must say a lot has changed. Months after I had been working at Walmart I met back up with an old friend(Brittany Ross) who I went to Elementary school with. It Started out with us just hanging out on different occasions, we both realized pretty soon this was more than a friendship. So on December 25th 2009 I asked her to start a relationship with me. I'm happy to report we are still dating and I love her so much. Now if that wasn't enough , most of you know I have been working for sometime to save up for car. I finally got saved enough to get one! The other night we were in Nashville at Guitar Center searching for a Guitar for my sister Sarah who turned 10 Sunday. We found a good one for her , walking out to the van I noticed a Carmax down the street. I had heard about their commercials and decided to give them a shot. Right in the door I was Impressed! We went out and looked at some different midsize cars. As most of you know ...I'm not the shortest person in the world :P. So many of the Cars were to small ...so the sales consultant asked if I would like to sit in an Nissan Altima. I Sat in one and it was surprisingly comfortable. He asked if I would like to take it for a test drive. I told him I would not feel comfortable driving in Nashville because I was not very familiar with the Roads... So I hopped in the passenger seat and let him drive. I was not surprised when my mom hopped in the back and asked if she could tag along(Shes quite picky about Cars). So we took off down the road got on I-65. My mom and I quickly noticed how smooth it rode and how much power it had. When we got back... we went in to get the paperwork done for it. There was just to much of it to complete in one night and we all decided it would be better if we got all the documents ready and then come back. The next day I went back up there to Finalize the deal. My step dad Graciously came and helped me through the process and I am now the proud owner of a Beautiful Metallic Blue 2005 Nissan Altima. It's been a very interesting few months for me and who knows what the future holds. I hope God is blessing you just as he Has me. Thanks for reading

Update and thoughts on the Economy

Hello all, its been quite a while since i've updated it seems, I'm still working at Walmart. Just recently had my 90 evaluation and it was very good. I'm currently working 34 hours a week as a cashier there. Its almost second nature to me now:). It seems that the economy is not getting much better so for now... I'm just hanging in there. I Love the people I work with! If it wasn't for those people, it would be a very boring job. I consider myself very blessed and lucky to have a job right now when there are so many that don't. My goal has not changed, I strive and will continue to strive to make an impact on everyone I meet! Ive been thinking a lot about what the future holds for me, as well as this whole country. This nation is very blessed and yet it seems the more God blesses us, the more selfish and ungodly we get. Could God be trying to send a message to this nation? I Can't answer that, but it does cause some serious thought. Christians we must always be ready! Christ could return in the blink of an eye. I hope you are Watching and Waiting for the lord's return. I leave you with a familiar passage.
( Matthew 24:42)
: Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

Time for an update

Hello everyone, its been a while since Ive had time to update.... I stay busy these days with a part time job, church and hanging out with Christian young people. As far as work... I'm working as a cashier at Walmart in Shelbyville for now , its not too bad , most of the associates are very nice and that a definite plus . I love the fact that i get to see faces I either know and love , those ive met but its been a long time since we've talked or seen each other and those that I have never met . My goal each day is to do my job and maybe make a difference in someones day. Its hard to make everyone happy , but im trying the best i know how. Church has also been great this summer, in the college class were studying different topics each week. I've enjoyed them alot! Amidst Work and church , I still have been blessed to have time to spend with other Christians. Bible Studies, Sporting Events, Going out to eat with each other. Its been fantastic to spend time with these people and grow closer as brothers and sisters in Christ. Speaking of friendships, I would encourage those young people who live in either Shelbyville , Murfreesboro Etc. and are in High school- College Age, that whenever you get the opportunity that you come and attend the bible studies ,singings or get togethers. We would love to see you! It's getting more and more important that Christians seize the opportunities to be with other Christians. Thats all i got for now, Have a good week and remember to Always Count your blessings

    I remember Mr. Stacy for Collegevue and how kind he is. I knew he was in bad shape and i hate that he is in such a grave state but i am SO thankful that he is faithful. You asked me to pray fro your family, which i will definitely try to do, as i understand this is an extremely difficult time. Question: Are you related?

    The only place I've found it a capella is the 2001 Florida College Chorus CD, "Hymn to the Creator of Light"

Life is great!

Hey all, its been a month since I started working at Walmart and I'm happy to report that its going well. The work is physically demanding at times , but that's fine.Summer is officially here whether it feels like it outside or not. My family had the opportunity to go to the house of some old friends in Columbia last night,it was so great to see those faces that we haven't seen in a while. It was also great to see that the church where we use to attend is growing. My mom and sisters have been out of town this week due to a Camp out that was held at the one of the members of Collegevue in Columbia. They had a blast due to the efforts of many individuals who show their love for the Lord. I'm sure that it will not be in vain as many of these kids grow up in the Lord and teach their Children the same principles. Its about time for me to go.Volleyball mania at the Buntings starts in just a few hours and I got a few chores I need to take care of. I hope that everyone is having a great summer,don't take what the lord has given us for granted you never know when it may not be so. Thanks for reading , Have a wonderful day;)
