- Moved into a new apartment in Anaheim with two roommates who I had never met before. Fortunately it's working out really good!

- Lost my full-time job teaching out in Palm Desert and began looking for new work.
- Discovered my love for building furniture and IKEA after buying IKEA furniture and putting it together to fill my empty bedroom.
- Picked up a second part-time job doing some tutoring for high school and college students. Not a lot of hours or pay, just a little something extra.
- Applied for another medical study over the next couple weeks, got into it, and hopefully I make it all the way through. That would give me a good amount of cash!
- Began to cook and have a kitchen. I can cook!!
- Brushed up on my Spanish skills. I went from "un poco Espanol" to "un poco bien."
- Going to multiple free concerts and shows and such! This month I should be seeing B.O.B., Wicked, and any number of smaller acts.
So that's a small update on what's been going on in my life. How about the things I've learned from it?
- God always provides what you need, when you need it. I didn't say what you want when you want it, or what you need when you want it. He just provides what you need when you need it.
- When you graduate with a major in something that can lead to an excellently paying job, you'll get a lot of pressure to obtain a job in that field. But God has been consistently leading me away from such jobs and towards other ones. This may be inexplicable to others, but God knows best, and I'm beginning to see that.
Matthew 6:26-27
Jeremiah 29:11
Pray for me that:
- I'll rest in God instead of money or financial contentment.
- That God will provide something I've been wanting for a long time.
- Another job to fill my free time, or more hours at my current jobs.
- I'll be able to have enough extra money for some fun road trips this fall (that's a want!).
