For those who still read...

Recently has been a time of testing. I switched jobs about a month ago and for a while was making an eighth of what I used to. Needless to say, that caused some problems as far as stress management was concerned and made things a little hard to stay optimistic about. However, I have begun a schedule with more hours and in turn am earning more from them. That takes a little bit of stress off. I have been doing an average job in school, aside from my struggles with algebra, and have my first substantial amount of homework to do by tomorrow morning. With that said I will not be on here long.

All in all, I have really been tested in keeping away from acting on frustrations and stress. There has been an awful lot of it lately and it surprises me how much I have been able to master it. So despite satan trying to bring me down by pulling away two disciples and barrage my girlfriend with attacks from the people she loves, I am glad to say that Christ has brought me away from the reaction to it all I would have had before, that is, a reaction of anger and depression poured out on those who deserve otherwise. Sure there are still obstacles to dodge and hurdle, but they're no match for the peace that passes all understanding.

On top of all that... The rams finally won a game and the blues are off to a great start. See ya later!
