Uhh..here goes! I'm a blogger?

Lately I have been into reading blogs..nonstop. I feel like a creep. But I just love reading different stories from different peoples' lives and learning from each of them. It's so cool! So, instead of just having one of these to read others, why not contribute? Not to say that I will always have something interesting to say, but who knows. Could be fun, right!?
ANYWAYS. Some things going on in my life right now:

John 5. Holy smokes. I have read this story about the paralyzed man and Jesus so many times in the past 2 weeks, but last night I have a PFISDKHGSG moment with it. I realized how much I am the man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. I feel that there are things and states that I have just been lying in for as long as I can remember and have just been waiting. and waiting. and waiting. So long that they have become a part of me, and let me tell you, not a good part. We become so complacent and used to these things. As I felt drawn to read this again last night, I put myself in the place of this man and saw a huge difference. Without even KNOWING that He was Jesus, it goes a little something like this :
^"When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” ⁷ The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” ⁸ Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” ⁹ And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked." (John 5:6-9)
This man, AFTER 38 YEARS, had the faith that Jesus was being enough to heal him. And Jesus simply says, "Okay, well here's the deal,  you are healed, but YOU also have to take up your bed and walk..you don't have to lie here in this any longer IF you don't want to"...and he does it...When I read it like that, it's a whole different story..

And then there's good ole NKU. I'm taking the most random list of classes, but I have had the opportunity to meet some really cool people in them. I'm still not sure of what I want to do. If you know me well, you know that I have always wanted to go to hair school. Welp, that may be put off until later. Right now I'm still just exploring what I am interested in and hoping and praying that something will knock me on the head and I will be able to say.."YES! THIS IS IT!". I'm thinking maybe couseling or communications? I love talking with people and helping them through things. I'm a talker..

I work at Tuesday Morning..no one ever knows what it is..but all I ever have to do is ring people out and unload and shelve random things like bird baths and hand sanitizer, so I don't mind it too much. Again, I've met some really cool people.

Ludlow, KY has become one of my new homes. Shoot do I love that place. I am leading YL there and the Lord is teaching me so much about loving different kinds of people, patience, trusting in His timing, and the all around dynamics of being a leader and running with 3 other people. I've never had a group of people bring me joy and laughter the way those students do. I think about that as I type it. Frick. Ave and I have just recently started a Bible study with some older girls and it's a rollin! We've been diving into some scripture. Sunday we talked about Galatians 5 and went the the fruits of the spirit. We're getting pumped for Rockbridge this summer and we are getting psyched about what the Lord is doing and what He will do in Ludlow. He is good and faithful and will always show up.

I'm rambling..but it's 2 AM, I have school all day tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure my dog is outside my bedroom door and she is freakin me out..so another post for another day. This was kinda fun. Cool. Yeah.
