about time
Okay I realize I suck at this – really I do. But come one…I have so much on my plate! I mean I am a busy guy now that I am at home and I have nothing to do…ever. Yeah I’m just lazy. I suck. Oh well. I’m doing a post now so suck it up and be happy you got this!
Everything has been kind of crazy lately. I don’t really know how I feel about a lot of things and I don’t know what’s up in a lot of areas in my life. So much seems out of whack and not what it should be but I guess things are how they need to be for now. Where to start…
Well school was good this semester. It wasn’t really what I imagined it would be. Last year at this time when I was planning on going to Asbury in the first place a lot of stuff was different and I was SO excited about going to a place where everything was already set up for me. I like things that way…knowing what’s going to happen before it happens and being able to plan. I guess I just like being secure with everything. Well time went by and stuff changed – people changed and by the time November and December rolled around I was thinking that Asbury was the WORST decision I could ever make. At that point I didn’t know anyone there accept for like one person that I could hang out with and nothing was at it was when I had first considered it…nothing was as it should have been. Or maybe it was. When I finally got there I was scared out of my mind. I had never really had to go into a thing not knowing anyone or anything about it…I usually have a head start on that sort of thing. But this time it was different. I had to start fresh and on my own. I couldn’t rely on my family or my best-friends to get me through everything ‘cause my family was too far away and my friends weren’t the same anymore. I had to grow up. Well I did…fast. I quickly learned the value of true friends – the kind you can meet and just know that you can trust them and that they care about you. I also learned about how important it is to have a close and intimate relationship with God. As you all probably know by now from reading this before, I recommitted myself to God in January and for a while I was doing REALLY well with my devotions and everything. The revival at school helped to push this along and helped me grow in my relationship with God. I did well for a while and even after then I did well off and on but for the most part I slacked off. I’m trying though… Well as for school itself…it got a lot better. At first I hated it and just wanted to go home but then I started meeting people and everything got better. It was still weird at times and I had trouble separating myself from crappy people and crappy things at times but I did pretty well. I made some great friends and did some things I will never forget. I even finished with a 3.8 – 3 A’s, an A- and a B+. Not bad! But don’t EVEN get me started on the whole “minus” concept…ugh…
Well now I’m getting for another go-around at camp and I have mixed feelings about it. Usually at this time I can’t wait for camp and getting to see old friends. Well this year a lot of old friends won’t be there and some just aren’t as they were but the good ones always seem to stick around. I have some stuff to look forward to and as for some other stuff…well we’ll see. I’m not going to let dumb crap get in the way of my goals for this summer that I already have for myself and nothing is going to ruin it for me. It should be good…yeah…it will be. (
Last but not least…in less than 24 hours I will be an uncle. I love that idea. I can’t wait for my sister to have her beautiful baby boy – Matthew Aidan Coulson. We’re all so excited. The doctor is inducing her labor later on this morning so sometime in the early afternoon I should be an uncle. It’s so awesome. God is AMAZING and He always provides. You just have to give Him time…more time than I’d like…
Hopefully everything in my life in general will work itself out in the end…I guess that maybe it just won’t be how I think it should be. We’ll see…
Thanks for reading and here’s a song I heard recently that I love. So I’m putting it on here ‘cause I like it. Ha.
“driving north on 35 heading into the night
the suns getting easier for me to look at
I've been singing these songs about you Montana
for so long without ever even knowing it
the things that you can't see
if you look you'll find
they'll deliver everything
somewhere somehow I got everything backwardsfrom the gas tank to the engine
ambition sets the pistons on fire
and when you feel the distance in an empty bed
lord you'll know that you're the woman of a hard working guitar pickin' man you know my dream has always been
a freight train leaving town
I grew up small town but I always knew I'd get out of that somehow
I'm barely breathing on this stage
but it's keeping me alive
there's nowhere I'd rather be
than on my way home to you tonightdriving north on 35 heading into the night
the suns getting easier for me to look a
maybe Memphis TN, maybe New Orleans
maybe Arizona, I guess we'll see”
