My Soul Longs For Him



so a few things have happened since I've posted last. I'll try to keep it as short as I can.

First off, I've failed to mention something:
I've been thinking about moving into the Bridge Street House of Prayer for about a month and a half now, but I never really told anyone because it didn't make any sense, and I just kind of put it off.

And last saturday this guy MIke (who is moving in there actually) was praying and gave me this vision (which pretty much confirmed this whole thing of me moving in). So I told Derek (this guy that lives there) the next day, and he's like "dude, it actually makes sense, we've actually been praying for a guy like u to move in". So I'm like, "ah, no way!!" So I've been talking with Derek and Ryan about it, and it's not for sure yet but the chances are looking good.

Since I've been back I've been kind of hoping to get involved with a youth group somewhere, but I never really told anyone, and last saturday my friend texted me about this opportunity at Sunshine Church (which I used to go to with my friend Chris a few years ago) with 6-8th graders. I went to the leadership meeting last weekend and it looks super fun, so I'm pretty excited about it.

Lastly: I have to sell my BMW I just bought. Found out the rackenpinion on the steering column is stripped and so it's pretty much a safety issue. The guy must've greased it up a bunch when I bought it, cause I never noticed it when I test drove it, but now It's going to be like $1500 (which is the same price I bought the car for) to get it fixed. And on top of that, the drivers side door doesnt lock, and its going to be like $300 to fix that. Its crazy cause I totally had peace about the car until right before I bought it, and now I'm paying for it. Hopefully it sells, because I need a car for the fall. If not, then Idk..

So yeah, been a crazy/stressful week, but good nonetheless.

I want to hear some feedback!! Please leave/questions/comments/ANYTHING!!

Faith




Been an awesome past few weeks here. Classes are going good, and I'm pretty happy about em. Speaking of which, just finished my 3 day camping canoeing class which was SICK!! The trip up north was really fun, camping with a bunch of strangers, it was awesome..

Ich habe ein Deutscher Auto!! which means "I have a German Car!!" (my German class is starting to pay off...) Just bought a car thursday. It's a black 1993 BMW 525i, and I got it for $1600. It runs good and everything, there's just some cosmetic things here and there, oh, and my doors don't lock=/, nothing that can't be fixed though. It was such a blessing, cause that was pretty much the exact amount I could spend on a car, and I really wanted a BMW, so I'm pretty stoked=]

Now with about $20 left in my bank account, I'm pretty curious to see how God's going to provide. For some reason I feel so much closer to the Lord than I ever have before. Its just this tremendous feeling of intamacy having to depend on him and have faith in him. I'm still working at BSHOP WHICH I LOVE BY THE WAY!! The first couple of times it was frustrating, but it has gotten SO much easier and now I love it!! I love the people there too..Anyways I won't really have my other job til the end of this month so I'm looking forward to that a lot.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Last of all: I'm am in need of some long-term support, in prayer, and possible financially. If there is someone reading this, and there is someone interested, then I would be more than happy to meet you!!
