To quote one Mrs. Doubtfire: "Hello, my dears!"
I know I have taken a long hiatus from my blog, but I will be back on here every once in a while to give you my life updates. Prepare to be bored.
My current situation is that I am back to school as a Paramedic Technology major at the University of Sioux Falls where I am a "junior and a half" as I like to call it. That is: I have three semesters of school left at USF. Then it is off to the Avera-McKennan Hospital for a one month EMT-Basic Training followed immediately by a nine month Paramedic Training course. After that I am planning on applying to jobs throughout the country. Boston, North Carolina, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, and California all being in the mix it will be interesting to see where the Lord leads.
My time spent in South Africa was something that I will cherish and will have a large impact on the rest of my life. It was great to be able to just have some time to be a peace with my life, not feel like I had to figure out my life plans, read, walk around and explore Cook's farm, tour around the country, and most of all form friendships that I will carry on for the rest of my time here on earth and into an eternity spent with Christ. I hardly even know what words to use to express my gratitude to all those who supported me through prayer, finances, and encouragement, not to mention Uncle Stu and Aunt Marilyn, Connie and Billy, Jeff, Jono, Morne, Josh, Clint, Simon, Daniel, David, Prince, Godfrey, Hendrick, the St. John's Church family, and all my new South African family and friends that are to numerous to mention, so I will just say one big "Thank you and God bless each of you."
Thus far school is going great and for the first time in a few years I am enjoying to challenge of my education and excited to be back at university. Things that seem like such minor accomplishments to many people are major hurdles for me as I am learning to tackle my struggle with self-discipline and self-motivation one step at a time. However, I am getting my homework done on time, studying my Human Anatomy notes with regularity, and keeping my new apartment reasonably clean (we'll see how that goes once Doug actually gets moved in).
All-in-all life is good and that in itself is reason to celebrate.
Grace and Peace
Mick
#9: Take a few moments out of your busy day to just relax and think about the ways the Lord has blessed you in your life through His Son Jesus Christ. Thank and praise Him for those.

One motto for life: "Hold on tight, have fun and if you fall off just roll over and laugh alot!"
We are just asked to show up with whatever God has packed for us that day and trust it will be enough. Mick, you have just what God has given you as you line up your own mind and heart with God's call.....stay the course, run the race and enjoy the journey.....and come see us when you get to Cheyenne!
