| One final dialogue between old friends...Xanga: David, where have you been? How could you leave me without leaving so much as a note, a call, a wave, a whisper to reassure me of your eventual return? My page has felt so empty and unattended. Sure, people come and go every so often, but it's just not the same. I've been neglected... abandoned... left with nothing but the words of the past. They taunt me. They ridicule me. They remind me of when things were different. Those were good times! Don't you miss it? Come back!
David: Xanga, I know I've been gone a long time. I know I use to come to you when I felt I needed to say something.. anything. There was something so simple about posting up my thoughts on your page. At times, I felt pride in knowing others enjoyed the quips and quotes I would leave for all the world to see. But, things are different now. I no longer need to express myself through my words anymore.. at least not to you. Besides, so many of those words were so empty. They were so superficial. I never truly revealed myself because that would make me vulnerable to the world. I wasn't ready for that yet. I'm ready for it now, though. But, now that I'm here, I have someone to open myself up to... who understands me, accepts me, cares for me, and stands by me unconditionally. So, Xanga.. I hope you understand. It's time for me to move on. There's something and someone far, far greater waiting for me that I want to invest all my time and energy into. "Don't I miss it?" you ask. Well, I admit that we've had some good times and some good laughs, but I honestly don't miss it. There's too much to look forward to. Why spend time dwelling on the past? Anyway, it's been a great ride, Xanga. You've helped me through the good, the bad, the ugly, and the boring.... but now it's time to say goodbye. So, adios.. farewell.. au revoir.. auf wiedersehen... zai jian.. itte kimasu... chao... goodbye.

| Missing PiecesI'm starting to understand God's sovereignty more and more... It's still so hard to fathom, but I'm witnessing a point in my life when all the pieces seem to be coming together at last. All the joys and the pains are starting to make sense, but not as events unto themselves but as smaller components of a much larger purpose. As I watch God fitting each of these pieces in their proper places, He's giving me more of a glimpse of the bigger picture that represents my life in its entirety... It's a life filled with so much hope, love, compassion, humility, and service. It's a life that I've always longed for but never thought I would ever receive. It's a life filled with more blessings than I could ever ask for. But I know it doesn't stop there, because even that's just a tiny fraction of the story He is writing that includes the rest of His creation. For now, however, I feel blessed to see that God has always been working in my life even while I wasn't paying attention... that each experience has a specific purpose. And to see my experiences being put together has been eye-opening. God truly is sovereign. I look forward to seeing what He has in store.

| New Year's Resolution#1 Be a better person than I was in 2007. (which probably won't be that hard to do)

| I'm done!I'm officially done with the fall semester! This was one of the most stressful school semesters in my life, and I have no idea why. It's not like it was all that difficult or anything. Maybe it was other things. Hmm.. Who knows?
Best of luck to whoever else still has exams and papers to finish. Finish strong, kids!

| Paper and projects and tests, oh my!For those of you on the cusp of final exams and papers.. or downtrodden by the thought of having to go through a tough challenge in the next few days, weeks, months, etc..
Go here.. and be motivated! http://insert your name.youaremighty.com/ I mean it... where it says "insert your name," do just that!
