So for so good

Well time for an update. Just so ya'll know I'm still alive (sort of). :]

I've been working a lot. But I love it more than anything. And the 4 others that I work with are as close to me as family. We just click. there's Brandon, the choleric laid back emo. Jessica, the golden child and human spell check. Brian, who is my adopted big brother and the only one who enjoys my sarcasm. And John, my manager who feeds us all the time! I love it.
An update with work, I've been doing volunteer calling for Acquire the Fire getting people to come serve there. And I was also picked to be my managers personal assistant. That title sounds lame so I'm just gunna call it his special caller. :] I work with him on side projects, do some customer service, along with calling. Right now I'm actually designing the posters and handouts for ATF! Awesome right!

So ESOAL is this Wednesday. We wake up that morning at 3am and that's when the fun begins. It can go up to 90hours long. We have no idea when it ends. We just go until we can't go anymore. Then we ring out.
I dont' know what we will be doing. I've had to memorize a 5 by 6 grid full of countries, 7 verses, and our school hymn. We also are assigned a state which is the company we are in...and we have 5 different platoons in that company. Pretty crazy. Yesterday during the storm we had a study group going in the caf. that lasted about 10 hours. Couldnt' do anything else so ya...
Now you can finish, or you can finish finish. I want to be a finisher finisher...cause that means you made it till the very end. I want that so bad. Just to be able to know I made it, that I pushed it all the way.
We will be marching, doing obstical coarses, being shot at with paintballs, and I've heard this years food delicacy involves cow tongue. My fave. :/ All the while running on about 8 hours of sleep...for the total at least 4 days.
I'm terrified half of the time, but very excited. This is going to be so hard, but it's going to tech me to rely on Him. Through hunger, through fatigue, through the heat and cold and night. All Him. We can't talk, I can't go to a friend and cry. I can't call my mom and get encouragement. I'll rely sloely on my Father to get me through. We're doing this to grow in our faith, to be stretched emotionally, and to die to our flesh.

So I won't be on again till after ESOAL. Not sure when that is either. But you'll hear from me in a week or so on how it went.

Here's the video of 2006 ESOAL. This year will be the 10th anniversery...so we're expecting something a little special just for us. Be praying for my brothers and sisters and me. We'll need it. :] Can't wait to let you know how it goes.
