Summary of my week

All in all it has been a good week. Me and Brooke have had alot of good time hanging out. Lots of good conversations about our church, friends and the future of our relationship (mostly dreaming of marriage). We went on a double date Friday night with my roomate Rick and a friend from home Erica. They had a great time and it looks like ther might be a couple more dates in the future (so bug rick about that if you see him.) Me and brooke had alot of fun on our date making funny faces at each other and playing around alot. the date was a blast. The next day Brooke, Rick, Rhi, and I went to Disneyland for free and had a blast there as well. Other than that it has been work and relaxation that I have been up to. Wednesday night (tommorow night) I am going to meet with my parents and have the conversation about school which leads me to my next section of this entry.

Thoughts and Concerns

I really don't know what is going to happen with my parents. I am still not so stoked on the idea of going to Cal State San Marcos, a major in psych is not the most exciting thing in the world. My parents are going to want to hear that God has specifically called me to go there and then they are going to want proff of the actual conversation notarized and signed by both me and God. Ok, slight exageration but you get the idea. I am just in a place right now where i feel kind of in the middle. Both me and Brooke were talking about this tonight (by the way Brooke is leaving for Spain soon and I am already starting to miss her) and we feel that this place, north county and mattew's house, is kind a mid point between two points in our life. I have not recieved word from God calling us elsewhere, so I think we are in some kind of a rut. It is hard being in a place where you don't know many people. Where you are far from your family, and your whole basis for social life (church) is completely different. Last nigh I was thinking and asking God "why am I here? What have you done through me so far?" I feel like I have not been used by Go all that much down here. Both me and Brooke were bumming about the very same thing yesterday. (I'm so glad we have each other). But God is faithful and today he showed me that he is still very much at work in my life.
A coworker of mine, Phil who I have talked to only a few times before and only about random things (this is the same guy who's car transmission fell out 2 weeks ago), began to talk about life and believe it or not God. As we got to talking as the day went by, he told me how he became a christian ( a cool story to be sure) a couple of months ago and how he is looking for a church that is pretty much what Matthew's House is. How Freaking rad is God. we have alot more talking to do but I am stoked. I pretty much feel that altough things in Mattews House are not exploding with growth God is still so at work within it. Also I know for a fact that he is growing me more and more each day, and he is teaching me things too. God has shwn himself to be faithful again and my doubting once again seems trivial. Perhaps this migh just be a growing learning time for all of us. Whatever it is God knows and I will be there for what ever he has planned next.
more to come on this soon...
