And so Tennessee, this is why I left....

Alright yo, this is it.  Sure, it sounds kind of childish and all but really, this was one of the huge reasons as to why I felt that it was best for me to leave the good life and friends that I had with you all back east, south...whatever.

Sure, it's been great being back here in WA for the time with family and all, and of course the beautiful outdoors but I guess you could say that it comes to a full understanding as to why I left as I will be starting classes today.  I am really excited about this because in all honesty this is what it's gonna take to get me over the top and on to other great things. 

Heck, I don't know how long that in total it will take me to finish my degree in Elementary Education here in Walla Walla but I do know that this is where the circle will complete and I will walk away from WWU with a diploma in my hand. 

Jesus led me here and it's now my mission to show him that I was listening and that I will do what it is that he has for me to do.  Funny thing is that right now Big Daddy Weave just came on singing "Hold Me Jesus."  That's what I need, for him to hold and to comfort me because while I know that I am following him there are going to be moments that I get down and discouraged.  Hold me, comfort and love me (Jesus). I just have to know that while this is his works through me, I have to do my part.  I can't expect that I don't have to do any work because he's taking care of me.

Yes, he is taking care of me but trust me, I am part of this and I am going to have to work my tail off to accomplish what it is He has me doing.  Jesus, hold me...please:)

It is pretty simple.  Today brings me one day closer to being in that classroom where it is that I am going to be that consistant positive influence on today's kids, tomorrow's leaders.

09:21:2010 Intro Blog

So....I can't really say I know how this whole blog bit is going to work.  First time blogger, and while I won't let you in on everything, you will get a little (as it's said on Around The Horn) "Insider Information."  Keep an eye on my jazz I'll try drop a line here and there, however, if I've forgotten how to blog, remind me about this site so I can keep you on the up and up with my life.


I'll make this as short and as sweet as possible just because, well....it's 12:30 AM PST and my alarm is set for 5:30 PST to go for a run.  Maybe, just maybe i'll set the alarm for 6 AM instead. 


I gotta say, it would be really nice if my peeps from back east would join me for this 1/2 Marathon on October 2nd here in Walla Walla.  And while we don't have Dunkin Donuts here, I'll make sure you get the cities finest pastries from Poplar Donuts and the "Tradition" can live on.  And while I understand that would be nice, it won't be happening THIS year but I know there will always be next time. 


Its been extremely difficult to be out here knowing what I am missing back there but friends, this really is the best possible situation for me right now.  I am very excited about the roads that will be opening up for me out here if I will just let them.  So many times I get impatient wanting my things my way, right way, but I have to remember I am here because I asked someone else to lead me. And with his strong hands, this is where Jesus lead me and I have to leave it in his hands.  It's not going to be this year, but I really feel as though when it does happen, being out here is really going to help me in my dreams of being an elementary school teacher. 


And trust me, everyone's invited to my classroom to visit so that you can see why I do what I do.  I want you to see the smile across my face when I have finally accomplished the dream (Teaching).  I can't wait! 


Anyways....this intro thing is over, I am out.  Peace out----The Q
