End of the semester non-sensical ramblings

Yes I am alive and I know I have been a horrible blogger. I had no idea what going to school at 28 would be like, but I have learned.... It's not at ALL like 18! I look back and have absolutely no clue how I lived and worked the way I did back then. I spent most of my 18th summer with 2-3 hours of sleep a night! And no that is not because I was out living the "wild" life... well, I guess I spent alot of that time in a place we lovingly called the batcave and bats are... wild... so whatever ! Maybe they were wild times... anyway I digress. It's intriguing to look back to where I was 10 years and where I am now simply in environment (physical and spiritual). They are so 180 degrees different. Yet if I wouldn't have spent that crazy year in Texas I would not be in unique New York today! The other night was a reminder to me as well of the journey that I have been on these last 10 years , and where I have come from. I went to dinner with some friends to celebrate my friend Mitch Stout's Birthday, and all of us sitting around the table had the common bond of Teen Mania/ORU, and we have all branched out and followed the dreams and goals that God planted or grew in us at those places. It meant a lot more to me in that respect because I live day to day with very little Jesus around me... I have been excited to be a "light in the dark", but have always lived in a church bubble, and this adventure is challenging me in so many ways.. of course in my acting, but so much in my faith and how I live my life to the glory of God. I am learing new things about me and my relationship with God all the time and well... it's hard sometimes but the journey of faith... I wouldn't trade it for the world!
