it was such a late night last night. we were both up until

we have three more weeks of school left. and we’ve been engaged for almost 6 weeks! it is crazy how much stuff has to get done within three weeks. it’s 1:39 and i’m waiting for my powerpoint to open so that i can study for my test that i have tomorrow. not very fun. i just finished my paper that is due tomorrow. one of the hardest things that i struggle with is writing papers. it is hard, but with a lot of help i got it done.

we have lots of exciting news too!! which will come at a later time. it’s time to study and then hopefully get a few hours of sleep.

Kara and I are engaged!!! It has been a whirlwind of a weekend but such an amazing week and weekend, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. And she had no clue at all! I asked her to marry me on friday April 3rd 2009. I was humbled beyond words this entire week! Literally without words. Every time I went and talk to God, I become speechless… I start to stutter and then the only words that come out are Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I can’t believe God would allow me to meet such an amazing women. A women who loves Jesus passionately, has a huge love for family, and a huge love for me and a love for people. A women who has struggles just like me and accepts me just as I am!!  It has been an amazing adventure for almost 2 years now. And now we can’t wait for our journey to venture into the deeper journey that God has called us to. I am so excited! It still hasn’t even sunk it yet. We’re getting married!! ahh!

Sometimes it’s such a hard truth to understand. But at the same time so good!

I have started my senior studio project this quarter and have been really excited about how things are turning out.

Here are some style frames that I’m working with right now.

More to come as soon as possible. It’s due at the end of this quarter. Got some more work to do.

God hit me with a ton of bricks this morning. Listening to this song brought me to  tears and my knees!

What do you think?

I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,
“What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?”

Listen to it here.

I just bought the cd the blessing off itunes and have been listening to it the whole day! been so encouraged by the truth behind these songs. Here’s just a few of the lyrics from the songs.

“the blessing”

this day you set life, you set death right before us, this day
every blessing and curse is a choice now
and we will choose to be a blessing for life

“Still Calls me son”

After all I’ve done
Could he run to me?
Would he kiss my face?
Could he even look at me?
After where I’ve been
should he take me back?
I would understand
I’ve disgraced him
But it would be amazing
If he still calls me son

After all I’d done
He just ran to me
Then he kissed my face
He would not let go of me
After where I’d been
He just welcomed me
I didn’t understand
But he put his robe on me
It was so amazing
That he still called me son

Amazing Grace
Cause he will run to me
And he will kiss my face
He will not let go of me
After where I’ve been
He will welcome me
I won’t understand
How he’ll put his robe on me
It will be amazing
That he’ll still call me son

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
When he calls me son
I once was lost but now I’m found
Cause he calls me Son

“Breathe On Me”

Breathe on me
sprit I receive
empower me to be your witness
rest on me and Jesus let me see
even greater things than these
when you breathe

“While I’m Waiting”

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

“Something Big”

I wanna see something I’ve not seen
Something so big
I wanna be a part of something great
Greater than me

It’s time to dream big dreams
To see Your vision
Become reality
‘Cause it’s for You, by You, those who
Love You wanna do

Something so big
It’s destined to fail without You, Lord
It’s gonna fail without You, Lord
Something so great
It takes a miracle to do
We, Your children
Wanna do something big for You

We, yes, we are gonna sing a brand new song
Something so strong
We will be the sound that wakes the dawn
Something so loud

It’s time for breaking through
‘Cause there are no limits
For he who holds the truth
When it’s for You, and by You, and those who
Love You wanna do

Something bigger, something greater
For the glory of Your splendor
Something bigger, something greater
Tell the story of Your wondrous love
Your wondrous love
Those who love You wanna do

As long as we live, let us do something so big for You

Merry Christmas everyone! Excitingly looking forward to going to Texas and spending time with family!
