From Chris Graebe to Lucas Motley...from Reality TV to my real life...
I know, I know, its been a fricken week since i've posted anything, but hey, i've been busy, and besides, "if i'm important, people will wait..." right?...no?...sorry, twas a quote in a recent movie i saw...
So, since last week, lets see, no, ben did not come w/ megan to church...talked to megan at church and finally got my Scattergories back!!!! yeah for me....I saw my buddies, jeremy and luke, twas fun times.... everything is a go for the thing this summer for WorldViewEyes.....Reality Trip:"searching for truth on the open road" for more info go to www.realitytrip.org It will be amazing needless to say, although it is causing stress, but as if everything else doesn't.....gosh, i realized tonight after visiting w/ a dear friend that i am just involved in too much stuff and am an over-achiever...i dunno, just have a big heart for many things i think and am passionate about many things too...
Anyways, where was I?....
Ah, yes, since last week, Chris Graebe, (a Christian that was on MTV's Road Rules: South Pacific & Battle of the Sexes 2) was at LCC this past week. He came to speak at true fellowship and at a local church, and helped speak to us at worldvieweyes about our thing...Reality Trip. He is actually gonna be helping us with some stuff with it. It was crazy to actually see someone that has been on MTV....He is a cool cat, very nice and funny to be around. Him being at LCC totally consumed my life this week, many meetings, and shooting video stuff w/ him. It was very fun though. It finally set in though that all of this was really happening...the whole summer trip and all...a reality tv show....its a blessing to be a part of it and a dream come true...i can't wait!
lets see, what else is going on...ah yes, Lucas Motley...
The youth minister at my home church...well former youth minister of my church...tuesday will be his last day. It is a sad time, but yet joyful as well. Although I never new lucas while at LCC, I got to know him as a friend, mentor, and hero (had to through hero in there, to break up the mood...sorry) but in all seriousness, he is a great guy and I wish him the best of luck in his new ministry. its really funny, cause i know we'll cross paths again in ministry, just know it, that feeling that you get when you say, 'yep, gonna be seeing him later on in life, gotta keep in touch w/ that guy'....just know that he has taught me so much not jsut in ministry, but in life, and has been there for me through some of the hardest parts of my relationship w/ megan. Just wish that it wasn't so real that this sunday is his last one here. Just don't want to think about how when i now come home on the weekends, there is one less person to go hang out w/ or visit. my reasons for coming home are quickly fading away, i mean other than seeing my family and visiting laura and all of my other 2 friends that would be home on the weekends, not much of anything else worth coming back for....now don't get me wrong, i want to see my family...(part of it)...and see my friends, just not that thing...called a girlfriend to come back to....and plus fewer people to really hang out w/ on the weekends, so what happens when they are all busy?...no point of me being here. but back to lucas, yeah, he is done this tuesday, not cool by any means, he has done so much for the church here, i mean, i understand his reasoning behind leaving and i don't blaim him, he is a talented guy and will be benefiting the Kingdom of God in his new ministry. my real life, much like how reality tv goes, has its ups and downs, and there are those times of conflicts too, it rather sucks at times too...but hey, thats life....
There is another thing to look forward to though....9 COLLEGE STUDENTS, 1 SUNNY STATE OF FLORIDA, AND A WEEK TO DO MINISTRY....a lil' thing i like to call....week-of-e....things are going so well to plan for this trip, it shall be a thing of beauty, it will be a break from everything for me too, no meetings, no work, other than the work for habitat for humanity, just no office work, no homework, no worries, just a great time in florida....who knows, maybe i'll get a tan on my legs that are being used as glow sticks cause they are so fricken white, along w/ the rest of my body, not gonna lie, i need a tan.......if anyone needs a flash-light, give me a call, cause all i'd have to do is shine my chest in your direction, its embarrising, i'm so white....anyways, i'm not going down there for jsut the tan, gonna be doing minsitry and stuff too! can't wait, there will be a novel on here following my trip...and if i get a chance, i'll be sure to call everyone i know while i'm watching a beautiful sunset on the white sanded beaches of florida...
as i end this entry, I have realized yet again that change sucks, things in life go by so fast, i've missed so much of it already. So many things change and progress in life that it sucks that i haven't had time to enjoy it lately.....so much in a weeks time has happened....i've come to realize that in life, if its not one thing, its another, and if its not those other things, its still that one thing that i first mentioned....i'm outa here, and hope everyone has a good weekend...peace, i'm outa here

Squeaks-
It's about time you posted something...I was getting sick of having nothing to read late at night when everyone else is asleep. I wish you would have offered your services as a flashlight about a week ago when Pim was trying to dig stuff out of my throat! HaHa...how funny would that have looked! Anyway, thanks for the post...it's always a good read! *Rae*
