A year

Today marks one year since I graduated from seminary where this whole blog thing started.

So since May 21 ,2011 I have ...
Moved to several states (Texas , Alabama)
Took a huge test
Turned 30
Started a job working in drug addiction
Moved to another apartment in Birmingham
Got my ALC ( associate licensed counselor)
And Started another part time job working with eating disorders at inpatient treatment center.

I still miss sometimes sitting in a classroom, being in Seminary.
I miss my class. I miss feeling a sense of really clear direction.

I guess I just wanted to take a moment to remember this day that for me one year ago was my life biggest accomplishment.

Hope

"hope is more than saying, 'it will all be Ok'. As we'll see, suffering and struggle is very much a part of the journey toward freedom. But a hopeful vision dares to defy the voices of despair." - Chuck DeGroat book leaving Egypt

Repentance

I have heard a great many meanings to the word " Repentance".

But today I decided on the meaning I am going to stick with.

" repentance is not changing
Its agreeing with God that your screwed up" - Steve Brown
