A Look Forward, A look Back

Like many of you I have been looking what's happened in my life over the last year.....
Turns out it was a very interesting year for me....God was very busy in my life and did some very good things...I feel that he has some very important things in mind for me this year as well...
But first the ever popular review.

2003 was a year season of change for me.
I left Columbus State.....and started at Ohio Dominican
One romantic relationship ended......another one began
Some old friends drifted away.......and some new ones appeared
I quit my job.....and became a full time student
I decided that I didn't need the answers to all of life's questions.....Then God started talking
I learned that it wasn't all about me......Well ok I am still struggling with this one :-)
God has taught me to hope....and to trust.....and not to fear.
I learned that Josh Harris isn't a muslim extremist.(more on this at a later date)
I learned that I really like 2000 year old Greek literature.
I learned that I really don't like 100 year old English Literature.
I discovered that I have more guitars than talent to play them.
I discovered that I really like playing drums while leading worship.
Did I mention I quit my job and became a full time student?

Glancing forward......

I have so much to look forward to this year....
school is starting in couple of weeks and I can't wait....as much as I enjoy having free time I really feel like being productive.
I have the feeling that my school schedual is going to conflict with my tutoring schedual.....I admit to having mixed emotions about this....The school is important but I really love spending time with the kids. Perhaps this open another oppurtunity somehwere else. Anyway I am sure that God will sort it out
I am going in to the new year with a new relationship that I am very excited about.
I have met the most incredible person. God has truely blessed me in this...I pray that he continues to be in the center of it
My life is good right now....and for the first time I am really enjoying it being good....for the first time in my life I am not waiting for the other shoe to to drop....for the first time I am trusting that whatever happens....God is in control and he will make provision for it....anyway I have places to go ....things to do I will write more on this later....
I hope everyone has a blessed new year
