hello blog. i haven't written in you lately. i mean, i posted that paper i wrote, but that doesn't really count. does it?

so i recently started dating amy dixon again. which is awesome. i've missed her a lot over the past few years, and during that time, hated the knowledge that i let her go. but it seems the past few years have really been good for us. God used that time to break us down and rebuild us for His glory, and He brought us back together, too. i'm just terrified, because i know how selfish and sinful my heart is, and i'm terrified because i don't want to hurt her again. i know that i'll end up letting her down. that's human nature. we all let people down at some point. but this time, i want to make it work. i just have no idea how to do that.

school's kicking me in the butt. it's a pretty intense work load this semester, and i'm trying to keep to a schedule to get my work done. but dang, it's rough.

and the kids at church? amazing. there's something BIG going on in the hearts of those students, and i can't wait to see what happens next. i'm hoping for a huge revival to spread into the hearts and homes of the students' families, and into the church. i want to see these kids take this city by storm, in the name of the Lord. i wonder sometimes about revivals from church history, and if right before it happened, people felt like they were the brink of something huge. did God reveal himself in such a way that they knew the church was a part of something greater than themselves?
