Ramblings [of randomness]

I tried Wakeboarding for the first time this past weekend. Besides having difficulties standing up, once I was able to get up, I think I did a pretty decent job. Having 8 years of snowboarding under my belt definitely helped a ton I think. It was actually really easy, but since I had never done it before, I was too nervous to try anything I wasn't perfectly comfortable with. Maybe next time I'll be a little more gutsy.

The weekend was full of firsts for me... besides wakeboarding, I also experienced the Iowa State Fair for the first time, where there I had my first corn dog. I must say, the fair meets every Iowa stereotype I've ever heard... white trash of America. Seriously... guys walking around with no shirts on, cut off short jean shorts, cow boy hats, missing teeth, girls wearing clothes they shouldn't be, strong southern hick accents, sitting on lawn chairs in front of houses drinking a beer while cussing up a storm at their spouse... it was awesome. I definitely had some great entertainment Friday. Thanks Iowa State Fair.

Classes start up again in 2 weeks... I'm gonna be honest... not really looking forward to it. I don't think this semester is gonna be an easy one.

After 8 months of prayer, I was given a direction to walk in after graduation come May. The Lord has given me a path to walk down and at least pursue [right now]; nothing is for sure - just checking things out. I'm excited, yet terrified at the same time. I'm still looking into a few places... an application process will come this winter, but I'll leave it at that for now. Updates will come as they surface.

So I work with this one lawyer who... how do I put this nicely?... creeps me out and annoys the crap out of me. I don't usually have a hard time loving people, but he is one of the few people who I find extremely hard to love. I don't like it when old men check me out... but besides that creepy factor, here's a guy who will take 30 minutes to tell a 5 minute story. He's extremely smart and remembers really random things (i.e. every teacher he ever had, what he was wearing while he were skiing 30 years ago, etc.), so he feels that it's necessary to include every... single... detail... when he tells me a story. Not to mention he is one of the slowest talkers ever. I'm sorry dude, but I don't want to hear about all the women you hit on, and please please stop looking at me like that. You could at least try to be somewhat discrete... sick.

I fell in love with a comedian this week. Check out Jim Gaffigan. Hilarious.

I'm helping my younger sister settle into her dorm room on Saturday. It's weird... she's going to college. I look at her and I still see a 12 year old little girl. The LORD is going to do big things in her life at Creighton. Plus, I love the fact that she's only 2 hours away from me. Oh how I wish everyone knew Beth; she's amazing (and I'm not just saying that because she's my sister).

The LORD said this recently... It is time to move into the Kingdom, for when you find your kingdom position, you shall enjoy the reality of all that you have read in My word and all that you have experienced. The days of My glory are upon you, and you are changed from glory to glory into My image. These are the times that you have yearned for and prayed for. When the reality of My kingdom becomes a fact in your life, you will experience the joy and peace of the kingdom, and victory will be manifest. Arise and come forth. Make the transition between the old and the new. It is My good pleasure to usher you into the reality of the Kingdom. I delight in you, and My delight is to have you experience that which has been prepared for you. Come forth and abide in the glory of this hour. You have received a foretaste, but now taste and see that which I do, and be satisfied. I pray it speaks truth [to you] in someway.
