wow.

its not as easy to maintain one of these things as i thought it would be. I know its been forever but here i am. Its right at 11 on a Sunday night, PT with the air force in 8 hours so im good.

time.
not easy to find, ive found this out.
just finding it isnt the hard part, its making sure that your using it the best you could.  I love where i am and what im studying, Air Force ROTC has been my main focus up to this point.  Grades are first, thats what gets me through ROTC so i can commision as an Officer when i graduate.  Which is my main goal in doing everything ive done in the past 5 months. u need a 91 physical fitness score and 3.3. GPA upon completing my second year here to get a shot at becoming an officer. So please, pray for that to happen.

let me explain, ROTC is more than just Physical Training in the morning, and a class i take about the military.  Its what prepares me to be in charge of men younger and older than me one day.  If all goes correctly God willing, when i am 22 years old i will be a second lietunant, this means I will have a leadership role. If i am not prepared to give these men the right direction, they could lose their lives.  i have learned so much from just the few weeks of this program. 

NOTE: I have gotten myself into a slightly advanced program called Arnold Air Society, the basically train more intense and a little quicker then regular ROTC.  This is good because i can use the knowledge i get to the advantadge of the kids who dont know.  Already i can help people, just as i would in the Air Force.

As you can see it means a lot to me.  thats just an update on my main focus at this point, enough of that.

i miss everyone back home but i get a few holiday breaks coming up and i get to see a lot of people.  that feels good. i didnt realize i was this mentally strong.  i left home, on not the best note in the world, drove 8 hours away to start preparing myself for my career.  yet now im fine? I didnt understand the first few weeks why i was so okay with my past decisions that got me here.

now i understand.

I stayed faithful as best i could, and never gave up hope that listening to God would make it okay. Im here, i listened, and i feel amazing.
