Yes Scotty Knows!!! Or Maybe Not...

Hey guys, first off I love you and miss you guys like crazy. So yesterday at church, I spoke to my congregation about our project. It's been a week or two since I really got to talk about it to anyone, and it felt like I was reliving everything as I went through pictures talking about it all. I was supposed to have 10 minutes to talk, but ended up talking for about 45! I mean, there was just sooooo much to talk about, and I felt that I couldn't leave anything out of it because everything we did was not only amazing, but important, and had an impact. It was great talking about it to all of them, but it really made me think of you guys and about everything we went though together.

So yea, I wrote on the facebook thread about how Culture Americana was really bothering me, especially after my cruise, and I really appreciate the encouragement and prayer that you guys were able to give me. It really helped and since then things have gotten so much better. I've been able to gain some peace in the past week. Things are still busy, in fact busier than ever, but God has still been able to give me the ability to think on him as I go through all of this. Things aren't working out for me the way I thought they would, but that's ok. I know that God is in control, and I'm going to do what he taught me to do this summer, go with it.

So, I was unable to re-enroll into Mizzou for this upcoming semester. I screwed some stuff up pretty bad, and it's going to take more than a few weeks to fix it all. Instead I'm going to be enrolling into Columbia College for this fall, which for those of you not local to Columbia, is more like a community college. This was reall hard for me at first. Out of pride, the idea of regressing to a community college was really difficult, and depressing. But God is helping me deal with that pride issue day by day. Things aren't going to be easy, but like I told someone this summer on campus, the way that God chooses isn't the easy way, but it is the right way. And I'm going to do this the right way.

So, just in case you didn't realize how much you guys meant to me, I just wanted to say it again, I love you guys. You were, and are, twenty one of the greatest blessings of my entire life. I wish that I could be with all of you every day again, but I know that God has plans for each of you to impact tons of people wherever you are now, and wherever you end up. I hope that this finds you all well and thriving.

Your brother,
Scotty
