| It's been a while since I last updated this site. What an interesting time it's been since then. I use the word interesting because I honestly don't know how to properly describe it. Life just a year ago seemed so simple; graduate undergrad, continue onto vet school, get married and have a family, etc. However, with the 2 year hiatus, my whole world has been turned upside down. I can't really say this time has been enjoyable. To be broken, discouraged, stressed to the limit. I feel so lost; growing pains. Part of me wish that I was living in a less developed country, where people just grew up doing what their parents did. Sure they might not be living in the best conditions or have the best food or drive nice cars (or drive period), the complexity that avoided sure is nice! With the economy as it is, it's definitely making my decision to go to vet school waver. 200K + in loans. ARG. Besides that, I'm seriously starting to think seriously about pursuing a relationship. More stress. My world feels so dark at times; so complex and convoluted. But yet, I was never at a point where I wanted to give up. I have God to thank for that. The light of the Gospel is always shining in my heart no matter how dark it gets in there. I'm weak and I lack faith. But that's what makes the sweetness of the Gospel even sweeter. No longer do I need to castigate myself for my flaws, but rather I just embrace the mercy and power that's found in God alone. As far as I can see my hardships will persist. Will things get better? Oh I truly hope so. Even if it doesn't, as long as God hasn't taken me home, I will continue to persist. How can I give up if Christ will never give up on me?
Two verses that's been sustaining me:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit" yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." (James 4:13-15)

| Sometimes at night
I am afraid
I cover my eyes,
Cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart
Oh great light
of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart
The wind of this
world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
But here in the dark
I’m not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home
Oh great light
of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
Oh great light
of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart
The light of your
grace
To fill up my heart | | |
| [Verse 1:]
Take my heart, and wring it out
In Your hands and watch it all collapse
And Take Your Love, and drive it in
Into my soul, and never leave again...because
[Chorus:]
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, Looking for a home
So don’t leave me here...alone
Don’t leave me here...alone
[Verse 2:]
All Your hope, and all my pride
All this time to watch it all collide
And everyone seems to say, “You can work it out”
Under my skin, I’m shaking and I can’t get out
[Chorus]
So don’t leave me here
[Bridge:]
This is not what You've said; it’s all in my head
I throw my anger at You instead
So don’t give up on me, I want to believe
That You’ll never leave me
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Deep into the ages, deep into the fold
I am so afraid that I’ll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
So don’t leave me here...alone
Don’t leave me here...alone | | |

The 2008 Presidential Election is over and the Bush
Administration is officially over. I'm sure that plenty of people are
overjoyed that it is. However, even though I wouldn't rank Bush Jr with
great presidents like good ole Abe or Washington, Bush Jr. definitely
doesn't deserve a lot of the insults that he's receiving. There's no
way that Bush can be blamed for all the bad things that's been
happening, that's just ridiculous. The Executive branch isn't just the
President. Besides, for most of his presidency the democrats were in
control of the congressional branch. Therefore, it's safe to say that
the bills/legislation/decisions
that has been passed weren't just because of Bush. Honestly, a strong
economy cannot be ruined by one person. We need to realize that during
Bush presidency, the times has been very difficult and complex (i.e.
9/11). Again, I'm not saying Bush was all the great nor am I belittling
democrats, but we definitely shouldn't be so disrespectful to the man
that walked through fire and brimstone to represented our Country for
the past 8 years.
BTW Here's a good article:

| Finally got the chance to watch the Naruto Shippuuden Movie. Wasn't too bad, though the formula is the same, Naruto finishing off the bad guy with a special Rasengan. At least the ending gave me a good laugh (oh ignorant Naruto LOL )
