hey again

Wow! It's been such a long time since I've been on here and posted something..
Well, I guess I've kinda been taking a break from writing newsletters and now that I'm also posting blogs and bulletins on myspace there's even less time to write stuff on here.
I guess it's still best to just email me to stay in touch and find out what's going on in my life. What I can say is that right now I'm super busy.
I'm still at the Art Institute and loving it and this quarter I'm taking 5 classes of 4 hours each. Two of them I have about 6 hours of homework for each week and the rest are around 2-4 hours. See my website for some work I've been doing: www.dgurtner.ch
I'm still working for Starbucks, still loving it too, but not as much as I used to. I've been having some trouble with my manager and also other issues that have made it harder to love my job. If I can find something with equal pay and benefits, and maybe closer to what I'm studying, I'm likely to change jobs. I will miss the great smell and free coffee though.
This evening and tomorrow morning I will be playing drums at my church, my usual weekend activity. Right now I feel that I am exactly where God wants me to be doing what he's created me to do. Just the fact that so many things are moving forward in our church and I get to be a part of it, for example being the answer to a prayer of my worship leader for a new drummer, back in the day when I moved to San Diego.
Since, I have seen our church grow in numbers and in maturity. We have also planted a new Church in Ocean Beach, the answer to the call placed on Rob and Rebecca and myself when we move here from Indianapolis. And we are getting ready to plant one in Solana Beach too.
Wow, just looking back at all that amazes me.. just how God had already planned it out so well and how so many unimaginable connections were made to let it happen.. Amazing!!
Well, I'm off now to sound check at our Ocean Beach service. I hope y'all have a great weekend and that God will bless you and use you in a mighty way!
