July 8th (or 9th depending on how you look at the time) 2011 - I'm back in my high school country. Hutchinson, KS for my 10 yr high school reunion. I had some amazing times here in Hutch and Buhler, and I'm pumped to relive some of those great memories with my best friends from high school. On our way down here, Nathan and I were talking about what the last 10yrs of life was like for us. It's so crazy to look back to July 8/9 2001. I was working at Gaeddert Farms Sweet Corn, so pumped to head to KU in the fall, where life would start to dramatically change. I looked through some old pictures of high school and college days trying to remember the guy I was back then. What I remember most is my loyal, amazing friends and family. So blessed by my brothers from several other mothers and my genetical family. What I had in them was a strong base, a strong support, a blessing that many people don't get.
The sad part was that they were all pushed away in a time of my life where i was told to give up those things to fill the needs of another person. After literally saying goodbye to some and never calling back others, 2 1/2 yrs later, those that i lost, returned. My blessings were back. But God didn't just decide to give them back to me, He gave me hoards of people. I can't even count the number of people who have come into my life and seriously laid down some heavy blessing on me. What a wonderful savior! I lay here thinking about my blessings and thinking about how i can return the blessing to others. I also lay here with the complete knowledge that my blessings aren't done, which makes me smile hugetime. God, you have given me so much and you want to give me more? I'll take it! People have been my blessings. It's all about relationship. I'm entering into a relationship now that seems to push more than just the envelope on blessing but blows the envelope to pieces! I am SO pumped to bless this blessing back too. She's good. Blessed am i for sure. Peace.
