Praise God.The guy who gave me the short term job is a consultant, and one of the people who supported me while I was in Kazakhstan. He is ... rather highly respected and the fact I was working with him made the company really want to hire me.So ... for this season (whether it be short or long) I am a Quality Systems Engineer for Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1128732681177374592005-10-07T17:45:00.000-07:002005-10-07T17:51:21.183-07:00Today I am wondering, before I left for KZ I felt a lot different. I was excited for adventure, I thirsted for far off lands, my heart pounded at the thought of doing His will.As I think about engineering my heart neither pounds nor does it thirst. I need an adventure of epic proportions.

I cooked a lot in Kazakhstan and it was a challenge, cause you had to use the base base ingredients, so things took longer. Since I have been back though I have started my cooking again, which is fun, it relaxes me and gives me something to do.I discovered a couple of new maranades (sp) for chicken that I am excited about, one is pineapple juice, garlic and teryaki Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1127713833601181492005-09-25T22:37:00.000-07:002005-09-25T22:50:33.606-07:00Hey I got a job, its short term, but a jobs a job (even if it is for 12 days).

It was such a struggle for me to decide to go this path rather than to stay in Kazakhstan...I was so close to remaining there another year. Then I was close to working with Cru in America, but I felt God lead me away from that also.

I would say almost a year. I did post some while I was in KZ, but mostly it was because I was feeling a bit lonely :). It got like that sometimes when I really needed a break, or a short vacation.

Personally I love e-mail, and finding out that someone was thinking about me enough to e-mail me. I mean really, its a special thing.

Its kinda weird moving out of a place I have called my home for 2 years. The one place that was a refuge and a resting place for me. Now my walls are stripped, my desk is bare, my clothes and books are all in boxes next to my door. I guess its not home anymore is it?

To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone
And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land
And all I see
It could never make me happy And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing
Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
Let that be enough

I assume I will go on retreats next year, but I will help lead them and they will be in another country. This weekend was encouraging, sad, and emotional. It was basically a "planning" retreat. It was spent doing some brainstorming for next year, and just building each other up.

My Religious Studies one (RST 141C, Paul's Epistle's) was harder then I thought it would be, not cause I didn't know the material, but cause the stuff was EXTREMELY obscure.

It was a good weekend, though a lil sad in some aspects.

This week and next week have been and will be pretty busy weeks for me. This week was interesting because my lab partner in my huge lab class (its about 10 hours of lab a week + lecture) had a family emergency, so i've been doing this lab alone; which isn't to bad, but its nice to have someone to talk to while you work...hmmm maybe i'll bring in headphones Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1082595916199138882004-04-21T18:05:00.000-07:002004-04-21T18:09:23.030-07:00I am very tired and very worn out.

I had an interesting talk with someone yesterday about speaking in tongues. A lot of what the dude was saying, I don't agree with, but it was interesting non the less. All I know about speaking in tonges is that it is a gift from God, a spiritual gift, and God can give and take away the spiritual gifts as He deems fit. I guess most of what I know Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1078037984170152402004-02-28T22:59:00.000-08:002004-02-28T23:02:37.796-08:00Ok I am blogging again. I know my last blog was a lil sad, cause when I wrote it I was sad. This week was a week where some hard things happend, things always seem to come in groups. Plus I have been busy with way to many design project for my classes, and I have three midterms on Tuesday and Wednesday of this next week. Thank you everyone who commented, I loved the encouragement and for some of Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1077391373523918362004-02-21T11:22:00.000-08:002004-02-21T11:37:49.593-08:00Well not being hired to camp is an interesting prospect. The thought goes through the mind, is it cause i'm not good enough? Is it cause the people I got to know aren't the "right people" (considering some of my friends that I had up there arne't working up there this next summer). You just have to think...why wasn't I hired. Is it cause the girl in charge of sherwood doesn't like me? Who knows.

I actually won awards for it. It was my favorite subject, the subject that I longed for, and heck, it still would be my favorite subject if it were offered. The thing is though, is that its not offered here at UCD. I'm very sad about that. I used to get cool certificates for it.

But thats all good. I think these last two weeks will be the most stressful of the quarter, week four and week five...this next week should be chiller (week six).

3 years ago today was the last time I talked to my best friend Gil. He passed away on February 10th 2001. I remember that one year after it happend I went to his grave and well my eyes profusely emited this salty compound. Then I visited it at his birthday...
The last conversation was about girls. Go figure.

Usually things worth getting you have to work hard for. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to work as hard. I wish things would come easier..but then, would the easy things really satisfy me?
On a different note...Eric and I worked out today and I am in ... needless to say... a lot of pain. Pain is good though.

This week has been a rather challenging week for me. We had monday off, and so I thought hey, i'll go into the labs on campus and work on my projects that are due (cause I don't have the right software on my comp to do them) well, the labs were closed..so you know I did other homework, rather chill. I hung out with Anneth who I really haven't hung out Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1074581122340176522004-01-19T22:45:00.000-08:002004-01-19T22:47:21.293-08:00I kinda wanted to talk about DTR's in this post, simply because sometimes they come under very amusing circumstances. (For those of you who don't know, DTR stands for Define the relationship, which occurs when you have two people, and one person shares thier feelings for the other...or that they don't have feelings, its mostly a clarification).
I have found a few kinds of DTRs in my 21 years Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1074372886359760682004-01-17T12:54:00.000-08:002004-01-17T12:56:42.496-08:00Hmm this risk. Well it was pretty chill, and it took me out of my comfort zone. It wasn't say a risk to my life like jumping out of a moving vehicle, but it was no mediocre risk. It was something i did that could very well affect the next portion of my life, if not my life, but it also might not affect it at all, and nothing will come of it. But thats enough of that.

If you have never heard switchfoot, ...I suggest listening to them :).
It was a beautiful letdown
when I crashed and burned
when i found myself alone, unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
the day I knew
that all the riches this world had to offer me, would never do
In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt

They really drag it down ;). I have had an interesting few days. My friend Easter Bonnie got married on saturday, and it was tight, I got to chill with some fellow sherwooders, and swing dance with the girl who taught me how to swing dance (or at least the first few moves). So it was great.

Its cool and all, I had a bunch of stuff to print out. Plus, I'm still trying to figure out what to do for bible study this quarter...considering I need to have something thought up pretty soon :).

This last week has been amazing. I ended up having to drive down to Christmas conference, which was a bit intense for me cause I've never drivin that far before (to SD) and the traffic..was not pleasant. But what made matters much better on the drive was Jen F. was riding in the car with me andFredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1072424130565434902003-12-25T23:35:00.000-08:002003-12-25T23:35:46.683-08:00Well this is a pretty quick post because I'm leaving tommorow for San Diego and I just found out i'm driving the whole way (never quite driven that far before) and this was sprung on me at the last minute, so it was a lil eventful the last day or so figuring out logistics and calling people. But in all its great. I'm just excited about the whole thing.

Yesterday I chilled with Ed, very interesting conversations I have with that guy. Saw Alf today, he is going to Urbana soon and I to Crusade's Christmas conference so this might be the extent we see each other over break.

The guy she is marrying is a good guy. Really nice. His parents refuse to come to the wedding or meet my parents. (My sister and he have been dating for three and a half years). The reason they refuse, they are Jehovah's Witnesses and they apparantly don't recognize marriages that aren't done in thier church. My sister's fiancee was raised Catholic andFredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1071819260256545322003-12-18T23:34:00.000-08:002003-12-18T23:48:18.430-08:00Another chill day. I love spending time with God. Can I just say that? I had started to miss spending time with God as my quarter was coming to an end, man was that ever a mistake. Spending time with the Lord is one of the most important times of the day. Plus I got to thinking, if I am to invest in people, and help them grow spiritually, how can I expect to do that if I am not growing in God?

I mailed some things off, mowed and edged the yard, worked out at the club, had some good conversations, listened to David Crowder's CD "Illuminate" (awesome CD I might add), figured our references for one of my applications, and did a good portion of the Crusade STINT application. I'd say it was a productive day.

I have the decision on what turn my life will take over the next year to two (more correctly two and a half). The many options that that brings up, like STINT, seminary, grad school, work, where to work, etc.
There are other thoughts on my mind as well. Thoughts and prayers that go out to the people that I care for.

I do need to do stuff today though and during Christmas break. There are Christmas presents to be gotten, a Calvin Crest Application to fill out, a STINT application to fill out, runs to run, and one of the best things of all, books to read :).

I made dinner for some wonderful ladies on thursday (pesto and chicken, with bread and balsamic dipping sauce, the keylime pie with strawberry whip topping...creation of my own originally it was going to be strawberry rhubarb pie, so I got the strawberries but no store in davis had fresh or frozen rhubarb...so I got creative :)).

On Monday in Bible study we talked to each other about what we were thankful for in general, and then what we were thankful for in members of the study. Of course everyone that has roommates in the study said they were thankful for each other, I know I would be a different person without the patience, friendship, and community that my house has...well at least 4 of us.Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16699166454932144950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127745.post-1069924381597825232003-11-27T01:13:00.000-08:002003-11-27T01:13:10.490-08:00Alrighty I'm going to give it another post, cause i'm doing playing with the colors and everything for now.
