Hey all, its been a long time since I talked about my life. So here goes!

A lot has been going on. I already have plans for next summer, my first one out of college! Next summer, I will be working closely with the senior Pastor at my home church on a new program, which I do not want to disclose much about except we hope to help many people in our county with the program through the building of close, long-lasting relationships with others. This automatically brings up some spiritual baggage I have been trying to overcome lately... and I have made steps in the right directions thanks to God's guidance. For the first time in my life, I am comfortable seeing all people as people, regardless of looks or background. Everyone is in need of something, and finding a close friend is a good way to bring them closer to finding that something. I have to view everyone as people and children of God if I am to be successful at getting to know and reaching out to many.

Next, I have one more semester of school left! There are less than 3 weeks left in my current one, and after that, my final semester of school forever! I am so pumped! And it will be an easy one too which is exciting for me. I get to chill a bit and enjoy life before I graduate and get down to business.

And last, but definitely FAR from least, I have been blessed with the opportunity to get to know a very wonderful young woman of the Lord, and I am truly enjoying my experience getting to know her. I met her family, and they are amazing! They are just the kind of people I enjoy being around, and they seem to have similar feelings about me. I love my time with her, and she is a pleasure and a joy to be around. I thank God for the opportunity he has provided. This girl is unlike any girl I have ever dated and our relationship is unlike any other I have ever been in. We both have a desire to know God and to truly glorify him through out the course of our relationship. We want to be an example to others in our lives who need to see who Jesus is or at least an example of a Godly relationship. I am enjoying every second of it. She is a blessing, and I am thankful for her this Thanksgiving!

So that is a little bit about what is going on. If you took the time to read, thanks for reading this. Take care and have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving!

Much Love,
Dustin
