I made it to Arkansas!!

After the 12 hour drive, I am finally here! Chad and I got my apartment set up how I wanted it and I feel right at home. Luckily, his house is only three miles away from my place, so that is nice. You know, Arkansas isn't that bad of a place. There's a lot of stuff to do, people are nice, good food and I have a pool! The only thing is, I realize how far away I am from home. One thing that me closer to home is technology. Skype and Facetime have been utilized I would say at least half a dozen times-and now that I have wireless internet at my apartment, I'm sure I'll "see" my family even more often!

Currently, my normal day is as follows: workout, eat lunch with Chad, apply for jobs, go to the pool and paint. PAINT?! Yes I said it-paint. I needed a piece of artwork to go over my bed and I couldn't find one I was happy with, so I made my own.

It's a dandelion that is getting blown in the wind. I painted the word release on it because sometimes when we allow God to use us, we affect more people than we will ever know. Just as the seeds of this flower/weed get spread wherever the wind takes it, so can the extended hands of God.
