Every "Little" Thing

God is thorough

Thorough-carried through to completion, full detail (thor·ough-that's for Josh)

I've learned a lot of things about God lately...this is another thing to add to the list. It's one of those things that if someone said it you'd reply "Yeah, yeah, I know his thorough", but what does it really mean?

So...I was on my way home from Cali, and I was going the way through Hemet, which I normally don't take, so I wasn't sure where the turn was I needed and nothing looked familiar, I was starting to think I got lost and would have to turn around or something. I said a little prayer asking God for a little help, then soon after that I saw a street sign that I remember looking at on the way there...I was like "Sweet, thanks God"

But...what really made me in awe of God this time was the fact that he kept that street name in my head, I couldn't tell you any other street name on that stretch of the road, at all, except for that one, Construction Blvd., and right after my "little" prayer he answered...but in reality he answered it 4 days earlier when I first noticed that street

That's what I mean by thorough...he had it all planned out long before I ever said that "little" prayer

Another "little" thing God did on that trip was on the way out there

Tayler was moving to San Fransisco the same morning I was driving to Temecula, she text me saying her van's tire blew out on the highway, but they made it to the side safely, ironically enough they broke down in Indio, I was like 20 minutes from Indio when this happened...Coincidence...I think NOT!! The van got towed away by the tow truck and the little two-wheel U-Haul trailer that had Tayler's car on it, was left on the side of the the I-10. I just happened to be right there to help tow it to the auto shop...Thank you God!!

Just another "little" thing God did

Oh and I got to see Tayler one last time...another "little" thing

Since I hung out with Tayler's family at the auto shop, I ended up getting to bring her little brother, Jake, along with me for the trip...we had a really fun time and I know it meant a lot to him to come hang out with me for the weekend...we had a blast...another "little" thing God did

Lastly, God did another "little" thing this trip

Usually, when I go on vacation I tend to forget about God and just try to have fun and everything...so this time I tried to remember to pray as much as possible about different things, and this trip turned out to be pretty amazing...Thank you again God!!

Peace

Mountain High!!

Here's some pretty rad snowboarding videos of Jeff, Jake, and me

This one's of Jeffro...he got it pretty quick and this video is pretty good of him





Here's Jake coming down the mountain, he just stood up and went down his first try...crazy





This was hard, but I got some video of me going through trees





Another one of me going through trees, this time I crashed...but held on to the phone



Peace

School's Back...


Yay!!...hahaha...I started school again...I'm excited for this semester...more than usual at least. That was kind of a sarcastic Yay!! kinda not. It's school so it can't be that exciting, but I have to really "apply" myself this semester, which makes me kind of curious to see how I do

Anyways...today was my first day, I had Advanced Argumentation (CMN422) and Marketing 301. My CMN422 teacher is quite hilarious...not like comedy funny, like he's a huge dork funny. Let me explain...he looks like he's only 23, he's got kind of a white boy 'fro of brown hair with a big gray curl in the middle, looks kind of like a mad scientist. He gets really excited about everything he's teaching and laughs at his own jokes...it's actually quite comical watching him. The girl next to me kept wondering if we were on some Punk'd show or something, and a camera crew was gonna come out and say "HaHa, just joking, he's not actually your teacher", but no one ever came...

My other class, MKT301, an old friend from back in my hockey days is in that class with me, Matt, better known as Swiss. It was pretty sweet to see him again, and pretty crazy to have a class with him.

But, anyways...it was a good start to the semester, I think it's gonna be pretty hard, but It'll be very cool...we'll see
Peace

The Beauty of Family...

So...Last Wednesday I decided to go to Cali...that day. I didn't have anything to do the rest the week and I really just wanted to get outta town, especially since school started this week...so I did. Along the way I picked up another rider to go with me...but that'll be another story later

It's just so awesome to go hang out with family on a spontaneous trip like that and them be willing to let me come and just hang out...it really was an awesome trip and I am so glad I was able to go

I wish I could just hang out with all of them all the time...I mostly wish Stevie and them would live closer so I could do spontaneous trips like this to go chill with them...can't drive to Fargo in a few hours, unfortunately :-(

I got to hang out with the boys, go to the mall with them, play outside with them, hang out with Jeff quite a bit (gotta love the brotherly love), went snowboarding, got to hang out with Wendy a lot, just an all around good trip

Peace
