Have you ever had a class that you enjoy, but you do not like the homework. I have one of those classes this semester. I am taking Gen physics I. You might be wondering why would a history-political science major be taking gen physics. Thats a good question. I decided to take a challanging class for my last science elective. A challanging class it is. I enjoy it though. The homework is just hard and very time consuming. I really appreciate all those that help me through the homework and take the time to explain it to me.
I need to get back and do some homework for tomorrow. Later dudes

"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest of men's wisdom, but on God's power." 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

In like four days, I will on my way to florida. It is hard to believe that spring break is right around the corner. While in Florida, we will be doing beach evangelism. I think it will be fun. As you all probably know, I am a very social person and I have no problem in starting a conversation with a very not so random person (not random because God brought that person into my life). I also think this is going to be a hard trip because of the people we come into contact with. They think that they have the answers to life and we have to show them somehow that they don't. This is going to be different than the trip I went on last year because last year we had something to give out (a 9-11 response packet) to start conversations. I don't think we will have anything like that.
Please keep me and the team in prayer this week and next week. Prayer is the key to our success in Florida.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine from back home fell off her loft bed and hit her head. As she was recovering from her fall, she decided to go back to classes. Her classes gave her a panic attack causing her to be sick. When I talked to her last week, she could not concentrate on reading for more than 20 mins. She was also debating on rather she should stay at school or go home. We had a wonderful talk, and by the end of the talk her mind was almost made up to go home. While at home she will have a chance to recover without any stress. The only thing that she was worried about was changing her wedding date, but it was worth going home to get better and changing the wedding date than staying at school and maybe not get better. She is one of my best friends from home. I remember meeting her. Her dad was going through the process of being our pastor and the church brought his family down from Seattle for everyone to meet. We hit it off right away. We both liked baseball and sports and really enjoyed talking to each other. So when her dad became our pastor I was excited. She and I have been through a lot together. I think the hardest was when she got a boyfriend. At first, I was jealous because he seemed to be taking away a lot of the time she and I would have together. But as the months went by, I began to get to know her boyfriend. I never felt uncomfortable around them. They were always approachable. It was fun hanging out with the two of them. Now, I am really excited for them. On New Years, he asked her to marry him and she said yes.
Our friendship is very important to us. Before leaving to go to our respectful colleges we made a slide show to go along with the words "Remember Me" by Mark Shultz. This song means a lot to the both of us.
Even though we are over 2000 miles away from each other. We still keep up with each others lives. Sometimes it is hard because we both are too busy. But whenever we make the time to talk, it is well worth the time that we talked.
God has blessed me with really good friends, and I thank him for them everyday. Someday I will have to tell you about my other best friend from home that is going to school in Tennessee.
