Crack Habit

First, let's do business here....comments?!? does this thing not notify you when you have comments??? what the crack?? Sara just told me yesterday that I had comments. i had no idea! the stupid thing never alerted me! and now i'm all rude for "ignoring" people. not my fault though, i blame technology. hmm, I never had this problem with Xanga. interesting.
xanga rules. blogspot can suck it.

So guess who was leading worship at my class last night? Matt friggin' Cote! and that's ironic because i'd mentioned him in a blog a couple weeks ago as someone that i'd completely written off in high school but is now passionately pursuing the Lord.
and I know I expressed these sentiments a couple weeks ago, but it just blows my heart up to run into people I used to know and find out that they're hearts are still on fire. and when i last blogged about this, I was saying how it surprises me because it seems like everyone I used to know wants nothing to do with the faith anymore. But I was talking to Matt last night, and it seems like it's actually quite the opposite. Everyone is coming back to Him! Matt still keeps in touch with absolutely everyone, including Kris Evans! haha! We talked about the people that we both know whose hearts God has captured and changed. People like Michael, Matt masterton, robbie, ourselves, and most surprising to me, Drew Jones! wow.
and i know that none of this means nothing to any of ya'll, but for me, it's hard to contain the joy I find in seeing old friends pursure God. And not just that, but to so clearly see the hand of God working, moving, changing lives...it's humbling. It kills my heart (in a good way). It seriously leaves me in absolute awe. Seeing God change hearts, seeing God change lives....awesome. insanely awesome.
Matt's an interesting guy. I hope to catch up with him more, and I know he'll be leading worship for our class again next month. He's led worship at just about every church in the metroplex. He even knows Bleeker and used to lead the high school worship when the Chandler-era of the Village was just starting. I wish I'd had more time to talk to him and explore all the things that God has done in him. ahhh! God is blowing my away daily.

I have a whole list of things that I want to write about, so assuming I have time, I should be able to keep this blog updated pretty frequently. But this semester is going to be NUTS. But i'm pretty sure i'm going to take a long vacation in June. I spent several hours yesterday planning it. That's something I enjoy more than most anything, planning trips. mmm mmm mmm! I'm thinking about flying to Seattle, renting a car and spending 12 days driving through oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North & South Dakota, etc. That would be amazing. I haven't spent much time in that part of the country. I want to go to Yellowstone and see Old Faithful, and i want to see Mount Rushmore. and I found a place in cheyenne where you can take a trip up to be among the bison. that'd be cool.

Ooooor maybe i'll chuck those plans and just drive out to California and up the west coast. it depends. we'll see. but i'm getting out of here one way or another!
