Honduras 2007
Well it has been 4 days since Kayla and I have returned from Honduras. Kayla and I left on May 25 for Pina Blanca, Honduras. We spent most of our time in the mountians and we worked on the construction team building a multipurpose room for Kids Ark International. The team moved and laid about 3800 6in concrete blocks. Not only did we lay blocks, but we also had teams do evangelism in the schools, medical work in the clinic, and a kids camp. It was amazing to see God working in the lives of the Hondurans. We stayed in a very nice hotel named Hotel Las Glorias on Lake Yoja. After we finished up the work on the building, we went to a waterfall just north of Lake Yoja. It is always amazing and humbling to see how much we as Americas are blessed.

It has been a long time...

Well it has been a long time since I have put my thoughts down. I am leaving for Bolivia in less than a week and it has been very stressful. My wife and I are heading to Bolivia, but we are also have a wedding to be at the day we arrive back. It has been crazy since the airline has changed our returning flight three times now.

Also school is one day away from being out. I will be so glad when I don't have to go in to work so early and the students are just getting crazier by the minute.

What a week...

I have spent the last 4 1/2 days cooped up in my house playing catch up with my school work. I decided to take 15 hours this summer semester which is a very bad idea for anyone that is considering it next summer semester especially if you are planning to work. I took 6 hours = 2 classes in the classroom and 9 hours = 3 classes online and the online course are what really have hurt me. I am still not finished with the work from 2 of the classes. I finished one course at 2 Friday morning. I am happy to say that I got an A in it so that is as of right now 3 A's and I am still trying to finish the others. It is a lot of work and I go back to work on Monday. I am looking forward to it, but then I am not.

Well I have a test over some Chemistry in about 7 1/2 hours and so I need some sleep, so Good night...

Honduras

Well everyone, today is my last day of school (teaching that is). Tomorrow begins my summer vacation and I also leave for Honduras. I am so looking forward to my trip to Honduras. I ask that you remember me in your prayers while I am gone. We will be doing construction and evangelism work while we are down there. Thanks again for your prayers and support.

Almighty God......speak for your servant is listening

Lord I want to thank you for all that you have done for me. I praise your holy name and give you all the honor and glory to you for bringing me to Florida. You had a reason for me to come down here. I have begun the race you have set before me and up to two days ago I was ready to begin another leg of this race, but today I received that shocking phone call. Now I look down the course and I don't see the finish line anymore. All I can see is the hurdles and obstacles that have been set before me. I know that you knew what was going to be said to me even before it was said. Thus I know I can trust in you to lead and guide me down the right path. You never said that this reace was going to be easy and I am ready to take it on with you by my side. If you are not going to be there with me, then I don't want to go. Lord I ask you to give me wisdom and understanding so that I may know your will.

Not only do I want your will in this situation Lord, but I want to follow your will and way in everything that I do. You did not send me down to Florida for me to leave unfinished. I started this race and I know you want me to finish it. Please Lord forgive me of all my trangressions so that I may be able to see clearly what you have called me to do and that I am not affected by the enemy. Cleanse me and make me whole. I love you Lord and I want to honor you in all I do. I ask that you be with me tomorrow as I go take on this first hurdle of this race and that I am able to accomplish what you want me to accomplish. Thank you for what you have done, what you are currently doing, and what you are going to do in my life.

Man that was good...

One hour later I have successfully made it back from wal-mart and toasted me some waffles and added a little PB&J to it and it was very fulfilling.

Some of you would think this was very sad, but when you have a craving sometimes it is nice to fulfill. Don't get me wrong there are somethings that we should never fufill, but waffles at 9:30 at night is one of those that you should.

I actually picked up a new kind of Peanut Butter, it is a honey flavored one made by Peter Pan and it was very good.

Back to what I was talking about in my last post, I have been praying about and wanting to make a decision about what I was going to do for the upcoming school year. I weighed out my pros and cons (which everyone should do when making a decision) and decided not to stay at the private school where I am currently employed. So I sent out my resume to various companys and schools. I had a few call backs, but finally settle on teaching in the public school system.

After making my decision and turning in my letter of intent with my current employer I decided I was not going to tell the students until closer to the end of the year. As you can expect it being a small private school it leaked out. So after another teacher asked me about it infront of the sophmore class which is the most talkative bunch, I had to go ahead and make my annoucement. If I didn't I would probably have a bunch of rumors why I was not coming back be floating about like some of the other teachers have. As soon as I told them, they didn't say YEAAAA or NOOOO, it was more like you are going to be eatin alive in public school. The funny thing is that other faculty are saying the same thing. I haven't received any vote of confidence from anyone, but from my family and girlfriend. I really believe that is kinda of bogus.

So besides all the stuff I am hearing at work right now, all is well and I am glad I only have 3 weeks and 4 days of school left. Then it is 2 months of vacation (actually taking classes this summer).

I have been playing soccer and we have tied 2 games and lost 2 so far this season. I have already injured myself. I was cleated and bruised my foot pretty severely (according to the doctor, even though I kinda of new that because it was purple). It is getting better, but I am not fully able to pivet or run on it yet.

I am hungry...

Today I purchased 60 eggo waffles, but I just realized I don't own a toaster. This is very sad because I am craving peanut butter and jelly waffles right now and I don't have a brave little toaster.

Anyways, I am currently talking to my girlfriend as I make this entry. She thinks I am very sad for not owning a wrench, pilers, or even a toaster.

Well I passed my Crime Scene Technician test with flying colors, but I have accepted a position to teach High School Science in the public school system.

I gotta go buy a toaster so I will end this post now.
