on second thought
on second thought and after reviewing the programs at the Art Institute a little closer I realized that I would be a much better fit for the Interactive Media Design program. because of what is being taught I realized that there I would basically be earning college credit and a bachelors of science in Interactive Media Design all while I'm doing stuff that I've been doing on the side for years!!

how 'bout something completely different?
you know.. i was just thinking.. what if i go back to school and study something completely different than bio/chemistry or teaching..?
how about art, media, design? i checked out the website of the Art Institute which is located very close to my new place and kinda got interested, http://www.aicasd.artinstitutes.edu/
i was thinking that getting a Bachelors of Science in the Media Arts & Animation Program could get very interesting and
is something that I already like to do a lot..
What do you think about all that?

aha
Ok, so here’s the deal..
in some earlier entry I mentioned the story of when Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land and I was wondering about the whole promised land thing. But what keeps getting clearer to me now is the part where the Israelites ate from the produce of the land and the same day the manna stopped coming.
Now, for some reason I thought that there’s something very significant about that event at the time but I didn’t know why. But that’s the part I’m starting to understand now and why it’s so significant.
See, in the desert they’ve been eating manna from heaven every day – Gods supernatural provision – for 40 years. When they came into the promised land it was a land they no longer needed supernatural provision.. or so they thought.
There surely was enough food. But the problem was that they stopped counting on God to provide it for them. Sure, God provided by bringing them to that place. But their trust was no longer in God but in the land and their ability to get the food on their own.
That’s were we (especially me) have to watch out. Count on God in everything. Sure, he gave us abilities, talents, strengths, resources, friends, families etc. but we need to keep our hope and trust in him and not in those things. That kind of an attitude would make life as a lukewarm christian impossible because it forces me to constantly be in prayer and keep my focus totally on him. There is no room for a superficial relationship because such trust and dependence is so crucial.
I’m guessing that’s the lesson I need to learn right now. You know revival’s coming.. and it starts with us. So he’s making sure we’ll be prepared..!
