CSU Fresno

So, today has been quite a busy day. I moved into the dorms at CSU Fresno (woot woot!). Purty exciting stuff, eh? Anyways, everything went pretty smoothly. Met a few new people, saw a classmate of mine. My roommate is cool, that was a huge relief. So, yeah, just ready for the college life now i suppose. School starts on monday so i'll probly be bored in my dorm all weekend (someone come rescue me?). I'm ready for college, or, well, i think that i'm ready for college. We'll see on Monday i suppose. It's kind of crazy being here. It's like everything you've worked so hard for is finally here....Kinda a relief i guess...Anyways, i'll post some more later, not really in a typing mode...

Peaceful Update

So, i haven't written since Spirit West Coast ended so i thought i would do a little update:
Well, not a whole lot has been going on. Just wrapping up my last couple of days of work ^_^
Then, Thursday, I'm off to Auburn to visit the kids and my mom as well as some missed friends. Hopefully this trip will go well, we'll see.
Everything is pretty calm and steady in my life at the moment. I definitely give thanks to God for that. He has truely given me some amazing peace in some extremely hard times this summer. I battled some addictions but quickly got over them and i'm happy to say i'm healthy and in the right state of mind.
School is getting ready to start and i'm extremely excited for that. I move in on Friday the 24th, it's definitely going to be awesome. My horse has to stay in bakersfield though until labor day weekend, moving her up there the weekend i move in would just be too much all at once.
Well, honestly, that's about it. Just a pretty normal peaceful life at this point in time. I'm very happy with myself and i can't wait for the fall semester to start :)

An Amazing Trip

So, SWC (Spirit West Coast) was just amazing! I saw so many bands and had some pretty awesome memories. I learned a lot from some of the speakers i saw as well as testimonies from many of the bands. The weather was beautiful and i must say that i'm kind of sad to be back in this heat. I am, however, happy to be sleeping in an actual bed now!
SWC was definitely an eye opener for me, and it came at the perfect time in my life and at the perfect time this summer. There were moments when God really spoke to me, he really opened my heart and i really surrendered to him. I surrendred everything to Him and that was amazing and it is still an amazing feeling. This trip has strengthened my faith so much and i hope that it did the same for others. It wasn't just a music festival, it was a way to experience God through the things i love. It was a way to reach out to God, to get out of my box, to become vulnerable for God. Some of the artists testimonies really spoke to me and some of their lyrics were so powerful. I have come to so many realizations, i have found my peace again. I know my faith is here to stay this time. No more on and off with God, He is here, and He has my full, undivided attention. I want to live my life for Him. I want to spread His word, i want to make Him proud. I know i will always have obstacles to battle, and sometimes i may lose my way but God is here, right now, with me. SWC was an amazing experience for me and i can't wait for next year.

SWC: day 2

So, today (well, now I think its tehnically yesterday) was the second day of spirit west coast. Today was pretty much amazing and I had a few testimonies that spoke to me. One of them was about your past and how god doesn't care about that. He doesn't care about what happened in the past, he cares about now. What are you doing with your life NOW? So, if god can forgive and forget I figured I could try. U am deleting my past and making way for my future. What has happened to me in the past month doesn't matter now. What matters is I'm here, god if here, and god has something amazing in store for me as well as someone amazing for me. I don't want to be just a beleiver, I want to be a witness. I want to be a living testimony to god and god's amazing healing. He has healed my heart. Tremendously and given me amazing peace as well as strength. God has comforted me and has shown me my path, at least a glimpse of it. So here is to the now, not to the then. Here is to serving god and living for him.
