Summertime..and Livin’ Easy??

I’ve been watching this show called “The Unit”. Colton let me borrow Season 1 he gave it to me 2 days ago and now I’m waiting for the last disc…Kinda glad he has it, I haven’t been to bed before 2 o’clock staying up to watch that show! Anyways I thought I would share some thoughts about this summer that have been on my mind lately and they are half the reason why I haven’t been sleeping well.

I had this sleeping problem last year after I got back from Morocco, I think it might have been from taking sleeping pills over there… I just get restless at night and I can’t seem to shut off my mind.

June 1st is when I start Summer I. And I am terrified. I have been scared/nervous of taking Spanish through out my collegiate career. Not scared of Financial Accounting, College Algebra, New Testament or Statistics. But of Spanish. I have never been really good at languages. I can get by…kinda with my Vietnamese and my English well…I don’t have an accent but my grammar is pretty bad. I have tried different ways to get out of taking it…online spanish and other languages (never fit with my schedule) but now my back is against the wall…the only thing in the way of my degree is Spanish I & II. So instead of taking 2 semesters to learn Spanish… I have to learn it in 2 months…please pray! ha

On top of that I have 2 part-time jobs. One with FBC Belton as the College Intern and the other is for UMHB as the Student Organizations Student Worker. I am excited about both jobs but I hope I haven’t bitten off more then I can chew. I am scared that I won’t be able to go a good enough job for Kristy…or for the College Ministry but I also want to graduate. Also there is drama back home with my family plus I can’t pay rent on time because both jobs pay minimum and I never get the checks at the same time…I have a lot on my plate this summer but I trust in the Lord. I am in these situations for a reason and I’m sure He is going to teach me a lot, whether it’s learning to have more faith in Him or time management… this should be an interesting summer here in Belton, Texas.

Home Is Where the Heart Is!

Wad Up!

I want to try and blog more…I know…I know… a lot of people including myself have said that countless times…

This certain thing has been on my mind lately as friends graduate or go away for the summer.

Houston…or Belton…I love both places…and both are really really different.

Houston…family… I love my family no matter how crazy, messed up, or vulgar they are. Home of the Astros and Rockets of course… my beloved teams. Downtown is fun. Sagemont Church, the place where I came to know Christ and my best friends. (Chris Brewster, Cj Heald and the Walkers!)

Belton…Mary Hardin Baylor… I know God had me there for a reason. I love the people that are there. From the administration to the students. Heck! It’s where I met some of my dear friends like Daniel Rowe, Jennifer Walker and Katy Bumpus. They are amazing people who I can and have share anything/everything with. (Don’t be offended that I didn’t put your name down…for real!) First Baptist Church, my new church home and place of employment. It’s a great place. There is so much community there. The college ministry there is unbelievable.

People often ask me, “What am I going to do after I (potentially) graduate in August?” “Where am I going to live?”

As crazy as it sounds…right now…i’d say Belton. Belton just feels like home to me. Houston is where I grew up but in the past 4 years…Houston was a place I went for 3 or 4 months out of the year. It doesn’t feel like home. Even my own house doesn’t feel like home…Greyson has taken over my old room. I feel like an outsider at my church. Don’t get my wrong I don’t expect doves to be released and rose pedals on the ground when I walk in to the  sanctuary.

My aunt use to get mad at me when I called Belton home. But I do feel like its home…
