Heart for People

Having a heart that cares for people means that it gets ripped to shreds sometimes. This is the spot I find myself now. Wierd day...let me tell ya.

I love my new CDs!!!!

Ok...so the title is random...

Anyways, this week has been fun. I have been getting settled into the apartment with my other suitemates. I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us this year!

The cross country guys are fun! I am looking forward to building relationships with each of the guys on the team this year. I believe God has given us a great team this year and that great things are in store for us this season.

About the title...I bought some cds. Three of the cds are celtic...awesome! I bought 2 cds of hymns and a cd called "Rushing River." Fun cds if you ask me!!

Grace Again

I have been back at Grace since Wednesday for CC practice. The CC team looks excellent. I'm looking forward to this season. The guys on the team are good and it seems like we are going to be a well knit bunch. God is good.

Great times....

This past week has been amazing. On Thursday I went to Chicago to pick up my friend from california. We spent the night in Chicago and the next day. The White Sox game was fun, though I made one foolish blunder. I was asked by a fan if I was a Sox fan, in which I told them that I was not, and that I liked the Cubs. I was a target of their hatred throughout the beginning of the game...until the Sox started to get killed, in which I smiled to myself...and kept my mouth shut.

The next day my friend asked me where the Sears Tower and the Empire State building were at. I pointed out the Sear's Tower to him, and then I pointed to a building that looked almost as tall as the Empire State building, and told him that I thought that could be the Empire. To the readers out there who are not catching the humor in this, the Empire State building is in NYC, not Chitown. He takes out his phone and says "I'll look it up on the internet." He proceeds to look it up and say, no thats not the Empire. I say, ok, its a different building. He shows me the picture on the internet and says, it looks like that. We stop at the park and he continues to look at the picture, then he tells me, "Hey, the Empire State building is in New York." At this point I started laughing...oh man...the games we play:)

Next we met up with an old friend at the Navy Pier, we rode the ferris wheel and got dinner at the Bubba Gumps place (Run Forest run!!!) Next we went to Wrigley Field. Going to Wrigley and taking pictures was much better than any White Sox game. Wrigley is amazing!

That night we headed home and then went a wedding. Its amazing that these 2 friends of mine are married. I went to school with them and everything. I'm still single...I need to get on the ball apparently(sarcasm).

The next day I went to my best friends house. He lives off Lake Michigan. I love just hanging out on the beach and kayaking and such. Great times.

Tomorrow I go back to school for cross country practice. I am a little nervous about it, but I'm sure it'll be fun to meet new people and to see if I can stay in that top 7.

Weekend fun!

My friend Ken from California is coming up tomorrow for a wedding. I have not seen Ken for nearly 2 years. You can imagine I am excited. More to come about this upcoming weekend!

CC practice starts in one week for Grace. I've ran over 600 miles this summer, and I am so stoked to get started with practices...not so much the school aspect of school...but hey, God has provided for me to go to college, so I am grateful for that!

May God bless my readers! I love you all!

Time again...

Its about time I blogged again.

Summer work is over. I worked for Mansanto this summer counting corn...it payed well, Praise God for that!

This past week I went up to visit my good friends Dave, Christy, Cardin, Reece, and Castille Sellers at Lake Ann Camp. It was fun helping Dave out and being able to reconnect with what really matters in life. Thanks you Dave and Christy for your example!

Running has been going good this summer, and I'm looking forward to practice...which starts in a week!

I hope to post on this on a more regular basis now. My most sincerest apologies to my readers who have been hanging for the past couple of months.
