this blog is a real love/hate relationship. i love having the opportunity to write and express my thoughts and interacting with others, but i absolutely hate taking the time to write everything down in one sitting to get my thoughts across.
anyways, here I am, back again.
life is happening.
since my last blog, I got married. being married has challenged me in so many ways to not only do everything I can 
to be a better husband to my wife, but to also strive to have the love of Christ exemplified in our marriage. I love being able to come home to my wife every night and just know that she's mine, and that I get to experience all the phases of the rest of our lives together. with that being said, being married challenges me to constantly be evaluating myself to see how I can continue to grow daily in my walk with God, and to challenge Candice to continue to grow closer to God and how we can place God in the center of everything in our marriage. I feel like I have a lot of work to do, but I'm thankful for a God and a wife who love me unconditionally, are patient with me, and look at me with potential, and that makes me want to be a better man.

I'm also 36 days away from graduating from college. My senior paper is finished and graded (passed!), and I only have a few more assignments to wrap up in some of my classes before I receive a college degree. I'm so excited for the next phase of our life, but because of that excitement, I'm struggling to be present and to focus on where God has me right here and now. I'm thankful for friends who are constantly challenging me to make the most of the rest of my time here in manhattan, and its these friendships that I'm not ready to move on from. But I'm so encouraged knowing that each and every person that am close with and that I "do life with" here in manhattan are going to change the world in a radical way for the kingdom of Jesus Christ. whether it be here in manhattan, wichita, kansas city, oklahoma, chicago, portland, arizona, california, or literally to the ends of the earth, I have friends who will change this world for the better and I'm so greatful for the opportunity to know them.
summary: i'm back blogging, i love my God, i love my wife, i'm about to graduate, God is moving, i love my friends.
