So, I'm about to head off to college and leave everyone behind. To be honest, it is the strangest mixture of emotions I think I've ever had. On the one hand, I am scared out of my mind. On the other, I have a strange peace about it all. Not a peace that makes me fell peacefull on the surface, but when I really did down into my deepest feelings, all I can find is this strange peace. It's kinda cool. I am just so afraid that things won't turn out the way I have hoped. I have hung everything upon this leap of faith. I've never had to do anything quite this extreme based on very little other than a contant quiet assurance that has to be from God. The weird thing is, I can barely detect it, so it makes it kinda scary to go off of, but as I have said, when I dig down deep, I know this is where I am supposed to be, whether I like it or not. Another fear is that I will get there and be doing what God wants me to do, but that it will be a huge trial for me. I know that He will make me strong enough, but it still haunts me, y'know. Especially since it seems that the first fourteen years of my life seem to have been focused on giving me endurance, and so I wonder if that will come into play know. What exactly do I need such a capacity to endure. Anyway, I would feel much better if I knew that you guys were praying for me. It would mean a ton. I love you guys.

In Christ,

Hello everyone, I am back on phusebox. Told you I would post every now and then before I get to school. I find that lately *cough*withinthepastquiteafewmonths*cough* I know nothing about my friends because I only see them at church and the only time they talk about the important stuff is online. It's kinda annoying. Oh, well. Not Y'alls fault, but my own. Though it would still be nice to be able to know what is going on in the lives of those friends I hold so dear to me. If you guys ever feel like talkin' about somethin' or sharing what's going on in your lives, you know you can give me a call, right? Of course, that prolly won't work. Even I don't like to randomly call people up, and that's the only way I ever hafe contact with other humans. Of course, you know I'm just giving you guys a hard time, right? It's funny, but I think I will probbably know more about what is going on in your lives while I'm off at college, just because I will be able to get online. That makes me laugh. Anyway, seriously though, if any of you guys ever want to talk you can give me a call, I'm always here for you. Or, y'know, you could send me an E-mail. That would be nice too. Anyway, enough of that. I hope you guys all have a good day, and as for what's going on in my life, it's all coming down to just getting used to the idea of leaving everyone and everything I know behind to venture to a strange place in what is known as the outskirts of nowhere. But hey, a little prayer and a lot of faith, and I'll be fine. Anyway, thanks for listening to me rant. I'll be sure to get on in a little while. Just want you guys to know that I love every last one of you. See you guys later.

Love In Christ,
Zach

Guess what.... I got a job!!!!!!

okay, so, sort of. I submitted an application to Kroger yesterday. The guy told me he didn't think they were hiring so I didn't make much of it, but low and behold an hour and a half after I submitted it, while I was killing time before I went to eat lunch with Ashley, there was a message left on my machine at home. So, I called them back today, and they said they had one position open from 10 o'clock at night to 6:45 in the morning. Needless to say, I don't intend on accepting. Hopefully my parents won't make me take it, and I don't think they will. So, it looks like I probbably won't have a job this summer after all, considering I've looked almost everywhere I could think of. To be honest, it doesn't really bother me. I have enough left over from graduation to last me at Martin for a year, esp considering I'm going to have a meal plan for all of my meals up there. Anyway, I guess I'll talk to you guys later, nothing else exciting has really been happening. You know me, drab and boring. At least I can get online every once in a while now.

In Christ,

Hey everybody!

That's right, I am online and making an entry on a website!!! Isn't that cool.... don't you think.... anybody....well, I guess since I never posted on anything else no one is expecting me to post on this. But get this, in two months I will be at UTM with unlimited internet access and I will KEEP YOU POSTED, believe it or not. This makes me happy. I will be able to stay in contact with you guys even while I'm gone. YAAAY!!! Anyway, I will be sure to talk to you guys later. Maybe this time you'll see I'm serious about my postin'. Oh, yeah!!

Love In Christ,
Zach
