| Alrighty... Since Sunday i have started school and my schedual is so flippin easy! I almost feel like it is a waste for me to even go. Work has been kind of hechtic because all the college kids are leaving and a girl we hired skrewed us over so i have been working alot training people and stuff. Oleg came in town (here is a copy/paste of an email i sent.. so i dont have to retype the story)....
Someone calls me Thursday (right as i sit down to email the twins) and he says "Taylor?" and I say"...Yes" and he says "How are you? What are you doing?" and I say "Im fine... who is this?" -because i didnt know the number- and he says "Think hard." So it goes silent for a few second and im like "I have no idea" and he says to me "Im not American" and then imediately i was like "Oleg!" I mean i wasnt expecting a call from him! it was so good. He said that he was in Texas and he was in Tyler (which is like 3 hours away from me) and that we needed to meet up. Well i had to work that night, Jake had to work Friday morning and he left Friday! So it wasnt looking very promising. So he says call me when you get off work and we will figure something out. So I call Jake and tell him what is going on and he flips. I go to work and Oleg calls me at about 8:45 pm (we close at 9) and says "Hey, we will be in Sherman in 40 minutes." and so i dont know what to say. So i tell him the exit and all and i get off work and he pulls into my work's parking lot. It was so freakin amazing! So me, Jake, Oleg and Lena burned the night away.. lol. Then I skipped school Friday.
Isnt that a good story? It was so much fun. I love hanging out with them because 1) They fuel my fire. 2) They make me want to give more of myself. I think sometimes we as Christians get this 'ok' attitude where we think we are doing enough. We say to ourselves "Man im doing alot. I give alot of myself. I think God is satisfied, I am doing enough." and that is not good! When we start to think like this we begin to stand still and God wants us to chase after him! Oleg lives this out! Everything he does is to serve Christ, he is constantly thinking of what more he can do. The passion the God gives him is so incredible! He makes me want to start something and do something with my life. So may I never be satisfied aty the point I am at. May I always strive to be closer to God and to do more to glorify him.
Tomorrow i will wake up and head to Plano (like 45 min away) to see my older sister and she is going to cut my hair (she's a hairstylist) and we are going to hang out. So i need to get some rest.
Sorry the entry is so long... if you have made it this far - Props to you! (code word -ninnymuggins- say it in your comment so i know you read it all)

| Ok so it is.... 2:14pm (10:15pm in Ukraine). I still have not recieved an email today!! I should be going to a college bible study right now but i am freakin tired so i think i am going to take a nap before i have to go meet up with everyone... So i fell to sleep last night with my phone by my head, and i was woken up at 5:30 this morning by a high pitched ringing in my ear because of a recieved text message from some woman in Ukraine. lol. So i went back to sleep and woke up a little late for church... worship was freakin awsome today- Vertigo/U2, Forever/Crowder, Rescue/Desparation, The Stand/United -now thats a good set! I went to lunch with and friend and tried to explain to him why his relationship with his girlfriend is not very healthy. I am skipping the bible study. I havent up dated this in a week but it has come to my attention that no one does! whats up with that? I am going to update mine every few days, but for now... this has to do. | | |
| Ok so... I played a show on Saturday night and it went really well. So I got home pretty late and didn't get into bed until like 2:30 a.m. because I was writing emails to everyone (well not everyone, don't be offended if you didn't get one) and then I woke up this morning at 7:30 a.m. and then went and played at church. We did some good songs this morning! After church this morning I went to the lake with the college ministry from my church and went tubing. I am so wore out! It stormed really bad here in Sherman today and we were out on the lake and the waves were freakin ginormous! I have been so sleep deprived lately and I need to go to bed... but I cant! there is always something to be doing!
Tonight we had this discussion about this video by Rob Bell and it was mostly about money and how we in America take most things for granted. I totally agree. I get pissed off when I get into my car that has no air-conditioning or that I have to lean across the car to manually roll down my window..but atleast i have a car, I HAVE to go to work but then I don't make enough money... atleast i have a job and make some money! Studies show that in some countries the majority of the people live off of 1 dollar a day, 1 dollar a day!!! I automatically think.. "I couldn't do that, that's impossible!" But obviously not, someone's doing it! The thing is, that in America the worst is so much better than the worst in most other places. I am not saying that it is bad to have things, but I am saying that we as people in general, Americans and anyone from any other culture need to get our priorities straight. We place things like clothes, ipods, cars, money over things that really matter like... God and people. That's the only thing that really matters. Eternity will not end for your ipod or your computer or your hair and if it is messed up or not, your favorite shirt that got a stain on it or your house burning down or your best friend, mom, sister, son or who ever dying... there is still work to be done! Should you be upset if something happens to them.. sure!! but its not the end of everything and the world keeps spinning and God keeps on with his great plan and it so much bigger than what happens in our lives. Lately i have been picking up homeless people and taking them to get something to eat. It makes me feel better that i spent the money that God has given me on someone who may have not otherwise gotten to eat than on a meal for my self that i could have gotten anytime. People have been telling me "thats is so dangerous!" -Why? I mean the most that would happen is they stick a gun to my head and say "give me your money." and i say "get that freaking gun off of my head, all you had to do was ask for it and i would give it to you." and im out my what... money. I say this not to boast on what i have been doing but to say thats what i think we as people need to do. Sorry, I'm done. You get the idea! lol When I start to talk I get carried away, that may not be understandable but it makes sense in my head! Moving on....
So this lady in our church we found out this morning that she had some tomers and that she could die soon, she is going to go have more tests run and she will know more tomorrow. She and her husband have adopted 2 little girls from China and they don't know yet, so if you could pray for her and the family that would be awsome.
I love Ukraine and I miss everyone more today than yesterday!

| Well.. I woke up at about 10:45 in the a.m. and I am eating a bowl or cereal, im on bowl 2, CRUNCH Toasted Honey. So i am going to get up from the computer, as soon as i finish my cereal and this entry of course, and i am gonna go clean myself. I will then head out to a coffee shop and do a little reading, get a little coffee, have a little 'quiet time'. Then i will come home and probably check my email and Myspace and be lazy until i go to work tonight. Crap! i left a paper i am supposed to get signed and take to my councelor in Jakes car! Oh well. So if Jake and i started a PodCast would anyone want it? We are thinking about having a PodCast and then just have a conversation, both serious and not serious convos. But if you would want a PodCast by Taylor and Jake then let me know! Later. | | |
| Ok so... I think i have tried to start a Xanga before, well i know i started one but i think i tried to stick with a Xanga before and wasnt really feelin it. But! It has come to my attention that all of the people i love have a Xanga and so it must be the 'thing to do'. So i have decided to give it another shot! Lets just say if my mom ever asked me: "Would you do everything your people are doing?" - Well the answer is: "Yes.. I would jump of the Xanga bridge." Chew on that for a minute.
