    Phil Wickham- Home
    Come riding on a rushing wind
    Blow through our hair and touch our skin
    I want to feel You now like I felt You then

    Strip away my calloused heart
    Set Your arrow hit Your mark
    Bring me back to where love starts
    Bring me back to where You are

    Father I’m running Father I’m coming home
    I cannot go on
    Your child is running, Father I’m coming home
    Back where I belong

    I know You’ve heard this all before
    When I’m down and crying on the floor
    Saying I want You and nothing more

    But I’m breaking in my heart tonight
    I’ve tried to stand I’ve tried to fight
    But I cannot see without Your light
    No I cannot breathe without You

    When I saw you I was ashamed
    You were pure and I was stained
    But You ran to me and You called my name
    There were tears of joy upon Your face

  • Xanga sent me an email saying it misses all the pictures and posts that i used to do...

    i never posted pictures.

    i'm thinking it's a generic letter to people who don't use xanga anymore. don't i feel special now?

    sooooo. i'm still alive, barely. this semester has been quite ridiculous, but God has guided me through it.

     biology has been a test. all i'm going to say is, "difficult professor is an understatement."

    biochemistry was cool for about a week. now it's annoyingly hard and overwhelming.

    i finished with my seminar class. gave 2 presentations. (1) The Nitrogen Cycle (now nitrogen is cycled through plants and the earth), and (2) HIV/AIDS. that was an interesting presentation. basically the virus infects every cell that keeps your body healthy, and destroys it. with med's, you'll be lucky to live 20+ years. i calculated the rate of reproduction of this virus. it came to around 150,000 virions/second.. or something ridiculous like that. I got an A in that class.

    physics is a joke. it's not worth the energy to type it out. that would take more energy than i'm putting in to the class.

    i'm working as a chemistry tutor at ASU poly's library. i like it here. my bosses are chill. the students can be weird though. i had one girl brag about how she's such an amazing student, then pull out a paper with a big red F on it. interesting. i had another lady ask me persistently to help her with a subject that i know nothing about. she was very intimidating and kept insisting that i help her. awkward. then you get pleasant people who you understand and get along with. those are fun. i get paid to help people and update my xanga *cough*

    i'm volunteering at a low-income medical/dental clinic this semester (and next). it's very interesting. i'm standing up the whole day filing, or pulling, or doing anything else the manager wants me to do. i like it actually. that surprised me. i love my co-workers, and i've made good friends with one of the doctors there. i'm getting a lot of good experience doing this right now.

    i'm still going for dentistry. i feel like this is where God has called me to be, but we'll see what happens. i'm trying not to think "i'm going to be a dentist" because God can change it whenever He wants. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." but i'm studying hard, trying to keep my GPA up, and doing anything else i can do to better my chances of getting into the school. i'm eyeing one out here. it's focused on community service, and i'm interested in that. i have 3 options for paying off my school though.
    (1) get a scholarship. sign a contract, but then work at the poorest of clinics for X amount of years.
    (2) loan repayment. sign a contract to work at poor clinics, get around a $30k signing bonus, a salary, and $25k/yr off your loan. then say you'll work X many years.
    (3) the army. if i enlist as a dentist, i'd be instantly promoted to captain. they require 1 year of service for every 1 year of school. so i'd be looking at 4-6 years depending on if i continue for a specialty.
    I love it so it's worth the schooling for it. i have to start studying for the DAT (dental aptitude test) right now. i'm taking it next summer, but i can't be too prepared for it. it scores out of 30. anything above 20 is almost a guarantee acceptance, the average is an 18. i know geniuses in my classes that walked away with an 18. needless to say i'm intimidated, hence the starting early. it's what i take joy in, so i'm pursuing it.

    *sigh* what else...

    relationships.. those are fun. not surprisingly.. i'm still single. i'm content, and actually happy being single. i don't want a girl in my life. the cost money and time.. this picture basically explains it..

    i'm not ready yet. God is still preparing me, and i have a long way to go (trust me). with the family.. it's super. i looove my little sister. she's great. she's always there to slap my ego back into reality (which is needed a lot). but she gives great insights and observations of things that i wouldn't see. parents are fabulous. we got a puppy so my mom is taking care of him right now. a lot of work haha..

    i'm not sure if there's anything else yall would want to hear about. let me know if there is...

    wow!

    so... i took off my "white collar" today and put on a blue one. and i rubbed a little grease into it.

    so my car battery died. i had my neighbor come over to look at it, because he's good at car things. he asked to see a flathead screwdriver. i stood there like i didn't know what he was talking about.. (in reality, i didn't know where we keep them). our philosophy about tools is, "Never use a tool, never lose a tool." well my grandpa must have used it (couldn't be me or dad) because i didn't know where one was. i found one after a few mins.. eventually we chose to charge the battery overnight. it didn't hold the charge, so i rolled up my sleeves and took the battery out. yeah my hands got all greasy (manicure time haha)..

    well i got a new battery at wal-mart. they asked if they would do the installation, and i said "No i'm going to do it." this lady gave me (what seemed) a condescending look of, "oh.. and do you know where the car battery goes?" well i got home and decided to give it a try. so i got rid of some acidic buildup (since i'm a chemist.. i DO know how to get rid of acid stuff).. then i stuck the battery in my car (no not the back seat.. i actually put it in the correct spot.. the glove box!) and fastened it in tight. all of a sudden the hood light goes on! i thought "wow, this could actually work!" well sure enough i started my car and it worked. so now i can add that to my list of accomplishments, along with cleaning the pool and yard mowing....

    so i can take pride that i've changed a battery with no instructions! i should think about becoming an engineer if i can do things without directions. well maybe not. i think that Budweiser should make a "real american heroes" commercial about me or something..
