Ok, well I finally brought the computer to the house so I "should" be posting more "frequently".
I've been playing a little bit of golf in the past weeks. I still slice the ball a whole lot and lost a consistent swing pretty quickly but I'm hitting quite a few really good shots. I almost got a hole in one a few weeks ago as well! Take a look at how close I was. And yes that would be me with the shaggy hair and wearing Deisels while golfing haha.

Just finished up the Jr Hi / HS retreat this past weekend. It's always a blessing to see God's faithfulness when His children gather together. As far as I can gather it seems like everyone had a great time hanging out and learning more about God. Hopefully it was a blessing to all and the calling to a more dedicated walk and a life that is refreshed in the Lord is the outcome. I think the Lord keeps affirming in my heart with each passing year that He's called me to serve in the area that I'm in right now. The yearning and desire to serve in this capacity continues to grow as well as the capacity to give of myself. It's neat to experience.
Didn't get a chance to take very many photos, so I'll just link it to someone who took his fair share.
Right before the weekend I made the decision to change to another division at Costco. My AGMM (Bosses' Boss) asked me if I had ever considered a lateral move in the company to a fast growing division that would most likely open up more opportunities for me. I had varying feelings but I'm peaceful with the decision to try something new. On one hand it's quite hard to find a division where you enjoy the work and enjoy working with each co-worker... but I think the move came at the right time. It's also nice to know that the work I put in is being noticed and that I'm being asked for from other divisions even though I didn't apply for the position. The funny thing is that when I made the decision to move I felt the Lord remind me to not get too comfortable wherever I am... to be ready to pick up and go if He so calls. Interesting... wasn't sure what to make of it. For now, I'll take it as a reminder. :)
My mom got a new job last week as well. Another prayer answered and hopefully a seed in my mom's heart. She knew that Connie and I were praying for her and we tried to help and encourage her through the process. I'm sure it's a huge relief to her but I'm hoping it's the start of more than just a huge relief.

Open up the skies of mercy
Rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries, Lord
Let em rise...
