Turn It Around

a special thank-you to ibu, jmo, and cack. my attitude and emotions have been readjusted and i'm excited about how great things are going... i'll be down on occasion, but hey. i can

always

get back up. with You.

No no no no no...

...new school year. still a youth minister. woof. great room. great roomies. great classes. an actual schedule to follow in my life. less time going home. and something else.

...i really really really want to do well this time around.

...and why am i sooooooooo fearful?

tear me up, God. You know me better than i do and You've got this figured out. i'll follow You and i know You'll take me where You want me.

Rut (We Wrote This Song For You...)

got m'car back. woot! movin' into my sweet new suite at dbu... double woot! brent's movin' into a rad apartment so i'll have my old room back.. yes yes! church is going well, and being a youth minister's hard. it's a new year... so why is it so hard to do what i feel i need to? i ran for the first time in ages today. i want to do it more. i want to crack open my Bible more this year. like... multiple times every day more. this is attainable. this is feasable. i'm pretty sure my classes this semester are as follows...

greek semester 4 (deathdeath)
old testament part 2 (triplehammer deathblow)
jeremiah (sweet)
and hopefully geology (i need to, don't want to)
if i can't get geology i'll do fine arts or sum'n.

i'm listening to zao right now. they are a treat, i tell you. it's funny, i looked at that old top ten bands thing i did months back and it's kinda changed since. oh well. e-vo-lution. am i really in a rut? no... i don't think so. i'd just like to start back school. and i'd like to be better. and that's a start.

~love, drew

Let It Happen Every Time... Something Goes Wrong

happy new year. we all still alive? i made it. where's my car? don't worry about it; dmitri will be back soon as he's fixed up... so far, 2007's been a little chaotic for the family, but it's been great so far! life's an adventure. tag it up. if you don't, you'll forget what makes life so special. i told a dude i met on the train that it's life's adversities and hardships that remind us we're alive, that challenge us to excel and to try to be worth something. the best part of that?

we totally suck, but we're made right in God's eyes because of Christ's righteousness. so yes, Jesus rules... in many ways. be comforted by this, if you know what i'm talking about. if you dont' know, ask me. love y'all. byebye now.
