Usually at a retreat you feel like relaxing, getting something out of it, or receiving something from God. This time it was different. It wasn't about how much I got out of it, but how much I could give to it. I had no idea they needed so many volunteers with things. So instead of it being relaxing, it was more challenging for me being part of the worship team, small group leader, and helping with icebreakers and games. Will I go to the next one? Will I still be single? Only God knows...

The Painted Veil: 8.5 of 10
Great romantic movie. Wouldn't exactly call it a chick flick, but more of a drama. Excellent writing and screenplay.
Recommended: I'd put it up there with my must see movies.

Pan's Labyrinth: 9 of 10
Heard it was good, and it is...
Recommended: A bit slow at times... but the ending is worth it.

I found my purpose

My purpose in life is to help people. Anyone and anywhere.
In need of someone to lend you an ear, someone to help with your problems, or someone to pray for you.
I will do my best to help in any way possible I can.
Will be teaching about how to stay healthy starting this Sunday. I'm psyched up!

So yea work has be super slow which is good and bad.
Good b/c more time off. Bad b/c less money. Hourly pay sucks...
Work pictures to come soon once I'm able to get nice pictures

Send your fire holy ghost fire!

Yay for days off!

Got a flat tire this week, but got it fixed.
While I was trying to pump my spare at a gas station, this dood (who looked like a bum) comes up to me and offers to help fill up my tires. So I was wondering if he worked there but I was like whatever. Anyways I found out I needed change so I went inside to get change but the cashier said the pump didn't work. So I decided to goto the next gas station and the bum invited himself in my car to go there... So I was like umm... ok... It wasn't that far so I was like whatever... I thought he was gonna rob me or something but it was still daylight so I wasn't that scared I just thought it was weird how a stranger just invites himself in my car and offers to help fill up my tires... He cleaned my windows too but I was gonna get a car wash anyways so I gave him a dollar

Go Rockets!
