It's been a while

So, it has been quite a while hasn't it, my friends?

Since I last updated, my life has gone through a series of ups and downs. In the last year since updating, I have fallen in and out of love and somehow forever changed myself. However, that is not all that has happened. In that time frame, I started going to church more. While it has only been most recently in the last month or so, it is a start.

For the longest time, I believed in the idea of a perfect God, not a perfect church. I believe wholeheartedly in the glory of Christ Jesus but as all churches are, my church was fractured. Not apostate by any means, the churches that I had grown up with had become cheap imitations of themselves in the years that I had been away. It didn't help that the young man that I was an usher with passed away in a swimming accident. So, I stopped going.

Years later, here I am at a new church. CCC has done me well and I will continue to go to it as long as I am where I am. Honestly, though, there is one more reason I have started going back to church in addition to rejoicing in the word of the lord. And yes, it's a girl.

Her name is Audrey. Yeah, whitest girl name ever and yeah, she is a white girl. I, for the longest time, said I wouldn't date a white girl. But, low and behold, here I am. She is a sweetheart. She is actually legitametly very nice but she won't admit it. I am just praying that the lord has brought her into my life for good things and not to add her to my list of 'Crap I shouldn't have done.' However, it is not my place to question God. He will work it out and everyone you meet, you meet them for a reason. Whether it is to teach you a lesson, reinforce something or to just simply encourage you, they are there for a reason.

Aside from that, things are much different. I am a graduate student now. I have a great paying job that I like. And, I will even be testing for my black belt in December (right before the Mayans say we all die). I am running a film company that is now about a year old and it is going pretty well. We had some issues with actors, weather and a cadre of other things but as all things do, they will work themselves out.

Other than that, my life is rolling on as if nothing had ever happened. I won't say I will update regularly but I will do what I can. Writing has always been the avenue in which I can release all of my emotions. It is a very cathartic hobby; one that I will be doing until I am done on this planet.

So, until next time, Osu! and God Bless!
