[So this is summer]

So... Im graduated.... and what a ride that was! Interesting and the weeks before it were... interesting to say the least...definitely eye-opening and realized things I should've realized a long time ago, but better now than never I guess. Having this break is definitely well needed and glad its a change of scenery and a break from the norm from this crazy school year.

Since graduation, which has only been the last 2 weeks, Ive done quite a lot. Spent a couple of days at Spragg Lake in the Poconos with Bri, Kathleen, Lexi, Sean, Ryan, and Kelsey... one of the most relaxing things I've done in a while. Before that I was back and forth in Newark and Hackensack, with which I went to Six Flags with Jemar, Zandra, and James, just like old times(except not with Francis and Jeka :( 

I hung out with my homies from HS and got caught up... its weird how we're all graduated and moving on.. bitter sweet.

But now I've moved in to my new apartment and starting a new chapter in my life. Its beautiful to say the least and I've definitely been blessed with a cheap apartment! I've been hanging with a lot of friends and making dinners, and having movie nights and really enjoying life without school work or worries. 

One thing that God has blessed me with is giving me a number of meaningful accountable relationships with a bunch of close guy friends, something I've needed for a while now. People who can challenge me to keep the faith, and really seek God in my life, relationships, job, school, and living. These guys have come to me with their life issues, good or bad, and I've been able to share about mine in order that we can challenge each other to keep God in the forefront of our lives and not in the back burner as we sometimes fall in the habit of doing. A bunch of us are reading some good books and I love how we can all talk about it and share about what we've learned or how God has shown us something new and practical. I never really liked reading but having others read a long and learning more about God definitely makes me want to read. Currently reading Crazy Love and Wild at Heart, and its definitely been a rewarding read thus far.

So this is fellowship... I love it...
