Happy Holidays!

I am home from college, finally done with a very busy and hard semester! And now I am looking at all the holiday activities. It's a great time of year. I really do not want to get into a discussion about saying CHRISTmas or not.(I wonder if my post title weirded anyone out. lol. Maybe I should of titled it "Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Years") I am in favor of saying Christmas, but I did learn a little thing in the last month. When people are saying "Xmas" they are still saying "Christmas" if they know it or not. "X" is a abbreviation of "Christ". The problem I do have with saying Merry Xmas is that hardly anyone really knows what that means and so the secular world uses it because they think they really are getting rid of saying "Christ". I am not some kind of guy that says if you say xmas you are a terrible person. I believe that since I cannot tell the whole world what "X" stands for then I might as well speak their language and say "Christmas" so they know what I stand for.

I am so glad I'm on break; I am really enjoying my bed, getting caught up on rest, homemade food, and being back in the neighborhood. Of course, I have not gotten all my Christmas shopping done and I'm not terribly worried... maybe I should be a little more. :)
I thank God that He gave his only begotten son!

Oh how I love these days!

Being a Junior is busier than I thought! Sure, I knew it would be harder and busier, but I never personally knew what that was like... and life just gets busier??? I need encouragement!! lol

It's been going pretty good. I just finished taking 4 tests in 3 days and I'm so glad I got through that. I do know that I aced one of them!





Back to this silly life I'm in!

College

Yes, it is that time. I am headed back to college. This will be my third year at God's Bible School and College. It seems people that know I am headed back are asking "Are you excited to get back to school?" and I am not saying no to the question. I miss classmates, getting out on my own a little, having a change of scenery, being around people that are trying to follow God and get an education, and sometimes I even miss the busy schedule. I don't believe I miss the cafeteria food or the late nights though.

I hope and pray that these next several months are promising, helping me become the person I am made to be and to grow closer to the Creater that made me.

Not sure what his name shall be, but I'm sure he will have one soon enough.
I am very blessed and fortunate to get it.

Pennsylvania

I was lucky to go to Appalachian Youth Camp(ayc) for my last year as a camper from the 18th to 22nd of July. I had a really nice time... but it was like 100 degrees everyday lol
