Hi EVERYONE!!!

Things are going really super!  I love my new house and my new roommies are superb!  SOOO, as many of you may know already, Zach's band is in the ZIPPO HOT TOUR!  This is like a national battle of the bands contest.  So far they have made it to the final round, from 1000 bands nation wide down to 10.  But they need your help!  They are right now in 2nd place and need more votes to win.

PLEASE vote for them at www.zippohottour.com.  VOTE for the TIMES.

Vote for Cincinnati local music scene

1.5 weeks and counting!  Im working 3 jobs right now, but only getting paid for 2.... hmmmm how does that work? 

So, Im working on my abstinence talk to give to all the little kiddos this school year.  Any suggestions on how to make STD's more intersting and get the class involved?  I'm even learning some really interesting (and scarry) facts.  Im getting a little nervous that I wont be able to connect with my classes.  So I would appreciate some prayers in this direction.

If any of you know someone who would like to move in with me.  Please let me know.  I am actively seeking a roommate.  I have found one already, but now I would like another.  Let me know.  Its a great house located close to everything!

Oh and if anyone is willing to help me move that would be terriffic!

hugs and kisses,

jk

I cant believe its been over a month since i last wrote in this thing...

Things are going well.  Im still working a ton. yep 6 super sweet nights a week.  Its not a bad gig.  Im beginning to wonder what Im really doing with my life.  How am I advancing Gods kingdom?  What am I doing to make a difference?  Sure I can "try" to effect those around me.  The people at work, who just look for the next person to sleep with or the next time they can go out and get wasted... what am I really doing for them?  I ask God for opportunities, I try to start conversations.  But most people dont want to hear it.  They dont want to hear you talk, they just want to listen to themselves.  I dont think they want to think about more eternal things.  They are blinded.  I remember I was blinded as well. When I was in the same place, doing what they are doing, I  never really allowed myself to think beyond myself.  Think about things that meant more.  I was selfish.  God rescued me.  So what can we do?  How do we make a difference?  Is God happy with our "progress"  with the things we are "doing"  Or are we just giving our lives over completely to Jesus and his will?  Ive been reading my oswald chambers book and oswald puts it this way:

"God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ: He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our mortal flesh" 

 How do we do this?  I want to surrender my all to God.  I want Jesus to simply ooze out of my pores.  Im lousy at it.  I know.   Sometimes I feel as though I get about 4 steps ahead, only to find myself back at 0.... I think it all begins at spending time with Him.  I remember my favorite speaker at YWAM said "You love God as much as you  think about him when you're alone"...

So what do you think about most often?

.... sorry about the rambling....

ive been working like a slave this past week...

i only got to see Zach like 2xs... and that makes me sad.   i really wish i didnt live out in the WC its so far away.  BUT its free and i like free.  God will work things out.  Ive been learning a lot about leaning on him in times of stress and worry.  Its like I dont have a clear picture of how my life is going to be in the next 6months-5years and thats scarry.  I dont even know what my job will be.    But this is right where he wants me to be and I cant forget that.  I just need to trust in him and know that he knows what will happen.  I hope he lets me in on his plans soon! 

Its hard to believe that its mid june already.  What happens to time as you get older?  I cant imagine what its gonna be like when Im 50! yikes....

If anyone has their days free, give me a call, I'd like to be friends...
