School starting, fall approaching and an update

Well I am back again after a long month. A couple posts ago I promised to give my reaction on the recent Olympics in Beijing, China. I absolutely loved watching them and am so proud of all the American athletes and their accomplishments. The two plus weeks went by so fast and lets just say I had some short nights of sleep due to staying up late to watch the events. Some highlights for me were Michael Phelps winning 8 Gold Medals with some races by hundredths of a second, the gymnastics with the Chinese and Americans going at it, the Chinese dominance in diving, and much more. Overall I loved watching the Olympics and can't wait until the Winter Olympics in 2010.

Labor Day weekend was a time of relaxing for me as my parents went on a vacation and I stayed at home getting chores done and just having time to myself. I did finally set up my stereo that I got from my parents for my birthday last year. It is an awesome stereo and I am glad that I finally did set it up. The weekend after my parents and I went to a concert for the WA Air National Guard 60th reunion and it was outstanding. The music was soothing and relaxing.

School has started and I wish I was going back. I have made the comment that if being a full time student was an occupation and you could get paid to do it then that is what I would want to do for the rest of my life but unfortunately that isn't the real world. With the start of school, fall is going to be here before we know it and the weather will be changing with the leaves falling making it colder and the holidays approaching faster than it really seems. I love this time of year. The fall is going to be extremely busy for me. I have four bible studies, Youth Group, work, yard clean up before winter time and so much more. I am excited for it and can't wait to dive in and just go.

Recently we have had a conference happening in Spokane called the Spiritual Hunger Conference. This conference has been amazing and refreshing. The Lord has totally been present and just growing my faith more and more within me. This is a free conference and if anybody is in Spokane during this time I would recommend that you attend. You will not regret it. If you live here in Spokane I would also tell you to go. It is well worth it.

Well that is all for my update. I pray God's blessing over each and everyone of you. May He be your guidance as you go down on your journey.
