Another monday another week

Well one thing I noticed is that I stopped counting the days, weeks, and hours until the next break haha.. I found some really cool friends I could be myself around but with one of them I find myself saying things I wouldn't normally and I don't realize until after I said it..

Life here has been getting better I had a good weekend but on saturday felt like I had the most horrible day.. At first it was good but then i had consecutive what I felt were bad events first I called home and was told to call back at 5 because then i could catch my nephew seeing as how it was his birthday party and I wanted to call him but around 4 my phone started acting weird and I could not call so I descided to walk to the store and use a payphone .. On my way out I was stopped by the dorm manager and she said I still had to do my "positives" which are volunteered chores..and I needed 5 she said go and come back to see what I needed to do so I hurried to the store.. It costed a dollar to use and I got choked up trying to talk to my nephew it struck me that since he is so young that he might forget who I am .. I finished the call and went back .. Ended up having to sweep a bathroom .. When I look back at all these events they don't even seem bad because for one my phone is now working perfectly, I only had to do 1 chore instead of all 5. And i had re exact change to make the call and I got to talk to my nephew and my sister.. Sometimes in the midst of a storm it takes until you are finally out if it to realize things aren't as bad as they seem .. My day is starting maybe I will post this later hope everyones day is a good one .. : D

Gods promises

Ok so latetly I have been trying to build my relationship with God to a higher level.. Before I was just stagnent aka a "Sunday Christian" but here I made it a priority to pray, read my bible, and do a study but I always forget to pray before I eat .. Sometimes I catch myself but most times I forget so sorry.. But I'm trying .. My point of this is lately I have been getting my prayers answered and God is being brought up in conversations I am around .although sometimes I don't contribute because I don't what to say .. But it's amazing.. My roomate even suggested that we got to church this sunday and was upset that I had went to church last Sunday and didn't tell him cause he would have went.. I think it's a good oppurtunity for God to work through me.. Also my week has been super hectic .. I am in this week which they call "KP" where we work in the cafeteria doing jobs like cleaning, mopping, sorting dishes , loading them into the washer and. Unloading them .. We work 8 hour days and start at 6 needless to say it has been hard but with prayer I have been able to get up every morning .. Something that stinks is that I got a runny nose and right now my nose is so raw from the blowing it hurts .. I hope I am better by the weekend.. An next week we actually start The career training.. So I am looking forward to that :D

Bad influences

"Do not be mislead, bad company corrupts good character" 1 Corinthians 15:33 that verse has been on my mind alot lately I mean the meaning of the verse is plain and true and I have been hanging around people that aren't ..well they aren't bad but the stuff they talk about is.. For instance while I was working the dish line I was standing ext To my friend Rachel and the whole time we were laughing and making jokes but the stuff we were talking about wasn't good and I found myself thinking about it.. Like what to make into a joke.. And with the cursing that is all around I find myself cursing in my head I mean it's happened before but now it's like I have no emotion toward it .. A few days ago I was in a rush because the work experiance starts at 6 but I also promised myself I would read my bible before usually 5 psalms in the morning but today I said ok just one and go back to my regular schedule after this week.. Well I read it but I didn't take in what it was saying so I went through the day and after the bad talking I remembered the verse I had read in the morning and
it struck me that I wasn't being a good example I was being influenced needless to say I didn't stop because it became like habit .. All this rambling but my point is ..I realized that the devil will do anything to sever your relationship with God, and sometimes you think that some things you do aren't a big deal it will eventually become part of your character ..

Another Sunday

This weekend has been pretty good .. I got my sleep, got my clothes washed and now I am up and ready to try out another church.. I Got up today not tired as usual so I'm happy about that this next week is my final week until I actually get into my trade(just a way of saying what we came here to study) but first we have to go through a thing called "KP" where we are assigned to help in various places .. I got placed in the cafeteria which means I could either be washing dishes, cleaning tables, or serving food... I think any I get placed with I will ok with but the thing I am not looking forward to is having to be there by 6 so I would have to be up around 20- 30 minutes earlier .. I guess it's not that bad.. I hope the week goes by fast that would be nice.. :D

Waves are crashing down

Well this week has been.. Hard.. It's sorta like a emotional rollarcoaster .. I mean during the day I'm good and get through class and but after I start feeling homesick but just a small bit..I thought it would be a good idea to "swim it off" because it's good excercise and I love to swim.. Well the swimming helped until it was over .. When I get back to my room I feel a tightening in my chest and can hardly control my emotions ..I get seriously homeSICK.. Emphasis on the sick because I feel nauseous ..and I start practically hyperventalating .. I pray and after a while it goes away.. But for some reasons some songs set me off again.. I think it's wierd because when I was here previously It had never got this bad..I feel dumb because a guy my age should be out of the house and working to succeed later in life..I mean I already got a late start so I remind myself that this is to better myself and if I work hard I could be out of here before break.. ..I am so looking forward to break..but I will have missed so much.. Birthdays.. Well yea I want to get everyones birthday to atleast send a card ..I haven't blogged in a couple days for a couple differant reasons.. For one I have grown way to accustomed to the ease of access to myspace on my phone.. And 2 it wouldn't matter unless I stopped by my wireless access point and I haven't been there since Tuesday haha.. Well my first week back and my forth week in total.. I have to keep busy.. :D

Returned

Ohgosh I am soo tired .. Yesterday was my flight to Utah and everything went fine .. I was actually looking forward to being back my flight, although boring went smooth and I arrived here around 3 but here it's an hour ahead so around 4 I spent the rest of my time unpacking and starving seeing as I hadn't eaten the whole day ..I had missed dinner and everything was off limits so I ended up with a bag of lays chips..it satisfied the headache and my stomach ..but just as I thought ..the morning is horrible .. Waking up at 5:30 was not fun especially since I woke up twice and I got a rush of home sickness I am still not used to the leaving I take it as nothing and as if I would see everyone like the next day so I don't take the good-byes that serious but then I get here an feel as if I dont have closure ..well my day has started and I feel like crap I want to sleep! Lol .. Well as I heard about 15 times yesterday "welcome back to hell" :D

Unbreakable

Well my home sickness is gone it's funny because it's triggered by certain songs or when I get a message on myspace from my sister I feel good being here .. I have already made my schedule for what things I will do to keep myself busy .. Oh and I have made a commitment to God and myself to read the bible every morning and night .. And since I started I have felt more comforted also I have been praying so I'm sure that has something to do with it .. Today I got up feeling great thank you God .. But as before I am dehydrated and always thirsty so I am actually sitting in the cafeteria blogging while drinking water, orange juice , and a milk but I don't think I will finish the milk..
