:D Feel like reading my blog again? :D I realize its been what? Three, four weeks I'd apologize a little more profusely but as I'm taking 18 hours of engineering classes I figure I shouldn't apologize so much and since this is very theraputic I think it hurts me almsot as much as you. I've actually gotten over 6000 hits on this blog in the last year which really kinda stokes me. Its been an interesting last weekend. THe more I think about it the more seems to ahve been going on. Pathways (the fall Intervarsity retreat) was this weekend and I also had a halloween/christmas/easte r party over at my friends apartment(the whole group is a bit off, but in a good way) :D doesn't sound too busy right? Not on the surface, but things and me have a way of crashing into each other. I've said it before to a friend and my mother when describing the weekend I guess you could call me Israel and not be all that far off.(Israel means "wrestles with God") I spent a majority of the weekend wrestling with God. There's a part of me that wants to type and put down in writing exactly what I'm struggling with here, but theres another part of me saying that it would be nothign but trolling for sympathy or understanding, niether of which I care for right now. I'll tell you that one is the way I handle relationships. And you can all read in to that whatever you want. Aside from wrestling with God over things in my life that He wants me to deal with I also ahd the emotionally taxing weekend. I'm mildly attracted to two women that are around me right now, no biggee I mean I am a 21 year old male in American culture I should be sharking all the time, but for those of you who know my past you'll understand if I'm a bit cautious. Fool me once shame on you, fool my twice shame on me. So at least some of the weekend was spent with either one of these women so on top of all of that wrestling with God I spent a good portion wrestling with myself. :? Lest you think the weekend was nothing but pain and suffering, it was not it was actually incredibly refreshing, spending time in my room doing homework seems to lose its appeal compared to a room full of Christian friends and Jesus :lol: And one of our freshmen got saved this weekend, and considering that it is the first our Fellowship at TTU has had in at least 3 years its quite the celebration, not only is our friend joining the never-ending celebration, but we've turned a corner even as we lose a crop of very vital and important seniors God is already raising up the younger group to take over. I've also got a pretty busy week up and coming. Aside from the normal homework loads and tests, I left my horrendously expensive medicine in the refrigerator at the retreat 3.5 hours away from here, so sometime before friday I have to get it back and on thursday my little brother comes in for the weekend (W00T!!!!) He's a cool kid and its always fun to have him around even if this time around I've got like no monetary resources to go out and have on. I also ahve to spend a while after class to overnight my absentee ballot to the polling place in Longview.....yeah yeah I can see all of you out there going "Look at Ferris procrastinating even on something as important as his ballot" well all of you be quiet :P This time was not my fault I asked for my ballot 2 weeks ago and it took till friday to arrive and I was already at the retreat. Even if I had "voted" friday I still would've had to overnight it to make sure it got to Longview on time. So NYAH! :P So I'm excited about getting to vote for the first time. W00T!!!! GO GEORGE W!!!!! John Kerry sucks!!!!! HEY HAMLET! YOU SUCK!(inside joke many apologies) :D Well I can't think of anything else goin on soon I'm gonna be swamped this week working on a couple fo projects plus the homework and tests, but weekend after this coming one I'm going on a road trip to College Station (home of those who shall forever remain unnamed in this tome of knowledge) but I'm not going to see the football game! My best friend from high school(not the one that lived with me last year) the one who is in the marines and I haven't seen in almsot a year is gonna be visiting a girl who goes to college there and my other best friend and I are roadtripping it down to see him and its gonna be awesome!!!! :D :D :D Well since its getting later in the morning and I need to shower and eat breakfast I guess I'll head out I hope this was enough of an update...I feel better about it so the rest of you should too! :D God Bless all of you!
Coming from the well same feeling as I left last weekend - Ferris :D 8)
