Update

Hello all. My sisters have demanded that I post and let them know what is going on in my life. They are my biggest readers.

I have started work at Kimray, which is the biggest reason for my lack of posts in the last month in a half. I work from 6:15 a.m. to about 6 p.m. And when I get home I don't do anything. I am usually exhausted by that time. And when Friday roles around, I am a dead man walking. Yesterday, I got home around 4:30 and took a nap at 5 and didn't wake up until 8. And that was only because Lauren called me, which was my plan, but I didn't think that she would call that late. But it was good, I actually have energy today. But I really like working there. The people are really good to work with and I am making quite a bit more than I did at Hobby Lobby.

Lauren and I are doing really well. We have been talking a lot about stuff that is exciting and fun. The time this summer has been extremely beneficial to our relationship.

As far as things I have been learning this summer, I think God is really teaching me to trust in Him. I am no longer going to be an RA, which is sad, but it will be alright. I am going to ask if I can live with a guy in Norman near the campus. But who knows what will happen. If I need to live at home I will. I am learning to trust Him more with my relationship with Lauren, school, my job and money, and so many other things. It has been good. I finally was able to start studying in Galations today. I am excited because I want to put a Bible study together and do it at OU or with some people from church. So that is good. I have also been challenged by two different people now to really seek God in knowing who I am in Him and knowing why He has made me the way I am. So I have been praying about that a lot. One thing that I love about my job is that I mow a lot. So while I mow I pray so I spend a lot of time doing that now. Hopefully I will be able to integrate that into all of my life.

Well, that is all for now. I will probably post soon and give a little more detail about things. But Brooke and Lauren are both bugging me to get off.

Talk to you later.

I still use mowing time to pray. God gives us opportunities for the prayer closet that we would never have thought of. Love - Dad
