Well, after what felt like a promising interview, I did not get the job. So my search begins again. Praying I find something soon.

So sorry, Stephen! What kind of job are you looking for?

Well. I'm in BG now. Almost three weeks. Still looking for a job. Lord willing, I will find one soon. Friends from FC are starting to trickle in. I can tell this year is gonna be good.

Just remember why you're there! This is from your grandpappy....and only because I care! Hope things go well for you.

This always occurs during life changes.

Wow. Yet again, a large gap in the timeline of my life has occurred between posts. The first logical question for some, what is he up to these days? Let me elaborate.

From the last major update, I went back to FC for a 4th semester, only to barely miss the mark with GPA, came home to a community college for spring semester, and bombed. Try, try again seems to be my motto for college. So this spring, the plan is to go to WKU to begin the graphic design program. I will be moving up to BG in 10 days.

This is a large step, because it's the first time I will truly be supporting myself. I just bought a car in my name, and now have an insurance policy in my name. Scaring stuff. Pretty soon a lease with my name on it as well. God is good and has allowed me to take these steps. I feel like I've had a difficult time figuring out what He has in mind for me, so I jumped at the chance when these doors opened. We will see what happens next :)

All these things make me realize that I'm beginning to grow up a little. And slowly, I'm learning growing up means it's not all about you anymore. Sacrifice and compromise become a player. And how uplifting, supportive, and down right incredible friends can be :)

So here I sit on pleo, talking about life changes, growing up, and walking toward and with God. What's changing in your life?

Sounds exciting! I remember when all of those changes started happening for me. It was a wonderful new time in my life. Hope your move goes well and everything works out for you in BG!

Dude...I'm with you on the scary changes thing. Suddenly supporting yourself and not relying on the parents is a big thing.

Hm... just moved to south GA... have a lease in my name and soon to be a car insurance policy in my name and... about to have 300 kids to plan for! Totally understand my friend!

As far as not using scripture, I was referring to all of the same verses we've all discussed before regarding salvation. I found a sermon by brother Lee Wildman from the Danville Church of Christ online called "Saved by Grace" and I agree 100% with what he has to say (other than the Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton part - I don't listen to country). So this may clear up some misunderstandings, if you're interested in listening. http://www.danvillechurchofchrist.org/audio2008/082509%20Saved%20by%20Grace%20Lee%20Wildman.mp3

That place is getting to be pretty popular for pictures! The first time I saw that picture of you, oh so many months ago, I wanted to shoot you for endangering your life like that. Now, I have a lot of people to shoot. :-)

This long time between updates thing seems to get more and more common. I couldn't think of an appropriate title, so I went with what I am currently eating. I just pulled an all nighter, thanks to my messed up sleep schedule. I'm trying to fix that.

The fall semester is approaching fast. With only about 3 weeks to go, the thought seems to be running through my head daily, "I have to change this semester." I know, some of you have probably heard that a lot from me. I'm going to change, this time will be different, I'm fixing things, etc. So I have come up with what I think is the most important thing to change, in order to get everything else back in line.

The ability to say no. Say no to video games when I have homework. Say no to friends when I need to study. Say no to staying up that extra hour because I started a movie late. Say no to sneaking out? Like I would do that...

Oddly, after finishing that last sentence, there is nothing else popping into my head that I feel like posting about. Maybe that's because I came to the realization recently that I play tons of video games. And when most others can't relate to that, why speak about it? Anywho, I'm off to...do something besides sleep. Call me, email me, whatever. Love and hope.

Nice post, Stephen. We miss you. Come back.

The ability to say "no" (otherwise known as discipline) seems to be the key to MOST of our problems...time management, money issues, food issues...it's a toughie but best learned during youth! I wish you well this semester! We miss you.

by harbermama at 07/26/08 11:54PM
that's a problem for lots of us sometimes... and i love this picture of you

by razz at 07/27/08 12:33AM
If you have trouble telling yourself "no", just say it in Spanish. Oh wait, that's "no" too! Nevermind. :)
