School is here!

WOW, I sit here in the computer room at SCC writing about my first day.
It's new, it's exciting, it's scary, but it's awesome! I feel like the new part of my journey called life is beginning and I’m decently prepared! I had my computer class first, as I walked in, I noticed at first glance someone who I had taken sign language with a couple years back here at SCC. A familiar face I thought! Awww, today was going to be a good day. (Aside from the fact that I actually found a parking spot in the front row close to my classes!) I finished my first class without a problem, I admit I was slightly overwhelmed with the craziness of it all, but I stayed composed! Since I didn't have my English class today I have had a long break in between classes, and I have really got to take in everything around me. My new school, my new environment. It's going to be great to see what the Lord as planned for my life. I know he's watching over me, I just need to remember that I have to rely on Him for my strength and security.
Now, I am off to my math class. It starts at 1:30 and I don't think I should be late! I can't wait to see what other things I will experience in my time at SCC.
God is good-

Life's little Blessings

So, i started a new job! Coffee Plantation. At first i thought, hey this is going to be so fun, and don't get me wrong i enjoy it a great deal. But i have to say, it is quite an eye opener realizing how many young people are lost. I have been placed in situations where I have had the chance to share God with some of my coffee house buddies, and i have taken chances and really tried my best to show God's love to people. Surprizingly enough, i think they actually notice something different about me, they can see something in me and i know they would be so much happier if they had it, the Lord. I know it's not only because i don't say the "F" word every five seconds, or even the fact that i don't go out and party, but it's the way i care for them, i think they are slightly fulfilled with it. I was blessed recently when i man in his late 40's walked in and asked if Eric, one of the guys i work with, if he had come back from his recent trip to Spain. I smiled and said, "Yeah, he's back and he said he really enjoyed his time there." The man replied also with a smile and said, "Oh great! I had been talking to him about pictures and what not." I added, "Oh, are you a photography?" After some small talk back and forth, i dicovered he was a photography and just had gotten back from vactiioning all around. He went to his car and grabbed some blown up pictures that he had taken, and they seriously took my breathe away. They were beautiful!
I have learned allot working in a non Christian place, and i think God has big planes for me. I can't wait to see what's instore next!!
