1) So today was totally crazy! I think I sat down about twice during my 9 hour day today at work (at Ultimate Eye Care). Of course, everyone is trying to use their 2009 insurance benefits before the end of the year. People get angry waaaay to easily, I mean its like they think eye doctors are trying to get as much money out of them as possible. Although I am so sick of people being so crazy about silly little things. I am starting to realize that no matter what the problem, I should look at their point of view (which most times is a very distorted and wrong point of view). However, by looking an another point of view, you not only learn more yourself, you are better able to help that person reach a solution. Maybe God is showing me that no matter how crazy and weird life can get, no matter how angry people make me because of their silly little complaints that dont even make sense, I still need to be gracious and loving towards them. Its a hard lesson to learn, and one that I struggle with at times, but God is improving me. =)
2)Its almost 2010!!! I actually remember the past decade! Thats right, I remember being at my Granny's house in the U.K. watching the fireworks out her back window marking the year 2000. Time really does fly the older you get. Honestly, I think this has been the most awesome year of my life yet, I have made so many great new friends, caught up with old friends, and God has really showed his presence in my life this year. I can only hope that 2010 will be better than 2009. Who knows, maybe God will put that special someone in my life ;-) , maybe I will finally further my guitar knowledge and find someone who will give me guitar lessons (up to this point, it's been me teaching myself, lol), and maybe I will actually stick to my resolutions this year. hehe
So my 2010 Resolutions:
Lose the weight I gained after having to stop TaeKwonDo
Spend more time with my friends, new and old, and more time with family
Read the WHOLE Bible
Let God show himself to others through my life
Talk to all my family in the U.K. more often
and most importantly, Live for God EVERY SINGLE DAY
These are just a few things I want to do this year. I know there will be more, I just pray that 2010 will be an amazing year and that all those I love (yes you) will be safe and will have a great year too. =)

Up To This Point
So I guess my first actual post should give some information about me and my life.
I was born on March 17, 1991 in Shrewsbury, England. I was 13 weeks premature and weighed 2lb.7oz. God blessed me with an amazing family, my Dad Colin, my Mum Sandra, and my Brother Alex. I basically grew up there for the most part but also was here in the US for a large part of my childhood. We moved to Austin, Texas on January 2, 2000 and have been here ever since. I was baptized as a child and have always been a "Christian" but nobody really practices their faith, and most of those who do only think about it every now and again or when its Easter of Christmas. I never really knew who Christ was or what he did for me until I began going to Hill Country Bible Church, but it took me quite a few years to even begin to understand who God and Jesus were as I had not grown up reading the bible or going to church. A few years ago I really began to (slightly) understand God and his works. So now, its just me-a sinner-trying to grow in Christ's image and trying to show God's amazing love through my action, words, and thoughts. I still have a hard time understanding sometimes, and I still have a hard time actually sitting down and reading the bible, slowly but surely, however I know that God is working in my heart and I am learning more and more about him everyday. I hope to continue to learn more and more about him each day of my life. I want to live for him and with him forever and ever.

Beginner Blogger
So, It seems like many people are blogging now, thus, I think I'm gonna give it a try, although I may not be very good at it..... I may post daily, or weekly, I guess we will see how it goes. I'm sure this blog will allow me to tell a little about what goes on with my life and I hope God will speak to others trough me and through this blog, I don't exactly know what I will type but I guess my fingers can figure it out. =) Let the blogging begin..........
