Getting ready to go to church....

So, as I get ready to go to church on this beautiful Sunday morning, I figured I'd write a quick post. I'm getting ready to get ready to pack everything up and head home for the summer, Lordwilling.......Looking back over the year, I am very thankful for everything that the Lord has allowed to happen. Though it's been painful and difficult to understand what's going on sometimes, the Lord has continually provide enough to allow me to stand. I think that my realization of my complete physical weakness at points, and His grace in allowing me to continue despite this, has brough me even closer to Christ since before this year began....I've also had the opportunity of working at a job where I can have an impact, and prayerfully a witness, to some of the jr. high/highschoolers in the community.....I'm sure that as long as I live I won't forget this schoolyear. With all the frustration, trial, and almost unbearable overload, God has given me the strength and mental capacities to continue, and continue in my major, when I felt at the end of the fall semester that it was time to change career plans......I'm really looking forward to the summer, Lordwilling, but not to just to get sleep. While a day or so of snooze shoulf feel great, I'm looking forward to using what I've learned this year in the "real world". Prayerfully, I'll be a good example of Christ at whichever job I work as well as at UW-RF when I take O-Chem Lordwilling......Yes, I'm really looking forward to hanging around the Wester Wisconsin area this summer. I haven't really been at home for more than a month or so at one time since I left in August 2006.....What a difference two years have made. I really do feel like a totally different person now. I almost forget what life was like before college. It really has been good tho. I think that it's healthy for every young man to eventually get out of the house and experience life on his own before he is a grown adult with a wife and children. See ya. -Josh
