Update!

I've started and abandoned quite a few posts since my last one. Shawna tells me I should write more, but lately it's been difficult.

But I'll try really hard, because I love her so so much.

Principles of Leadership is the coolest college class I've ever taken. I've learned so many valuable things about myself and leadership...I'm finding it pretty impossible to apply it all at once. Right now we're reading Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham. Love him. Can't wait to take the strengths finder test online.

I've been listening to Jordan Seng's sermons at Bluewater Mission. It's the church in Honolulu that Chris has been going to. He told me I'd love this guy's preaching, and I definitely do. In one of the first sermons I listened to, he defended task oriented relationships brilliantly. I thought that was fun. I'd highly recommend his series on the nature of God.

God blessed me with a new laptop! I'm almost done transferring everything I need from my old computer, and then I'm giving it away. Someone offered to buy it, but I just wouldn't feel right taking any money for that thing. : )

It's amazing how God's grace works. Sometimes I feel like He probably should have slapped me in the face a long time ago, but He just keeps being nice to me. And when He reveals His love in cool new ways, it brings me to repentance much more deeply than simple punishment would have.

In conclusion, life has never been better. I'm facing greater challenges than I ever have before, I'm seeing incredible life change up close and personally, and God is using me in ways I couldn't have imagined a few years ago. No complaints.
