Simone de Beauvoir - "Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay."
The past few months have been pprrrreeettttyyyyy confusing for me..
Soooo the thing with me and the Hoover girl (last post) had been going off and on for a while. I found that some weekends she'd appear tired of me, and other weekends I'd seem tired of her....so I just haven't been sure on what to do. It's apparent we've both thought about dating, but that might not be in the best view for us. I start talking to her for a little bit and my feelings start swaying in a different direction..
I obviously still have feelings for the Hoover girl, but I can see myself in a better situation talking with the other girl... and of course there's always been something deep down that's liked this girl as well. So we started talking for a little while, and it was great for a couple of days... but I still don't know. I'm not a believer that God will point out who he wants you to date or talk to, but that He will provide you the opportunity or situation. So right now, it's on me and I need to decide who I want to pursue....
_________________
The other indecision in my life is this golf thing. Yeah, I was thinking about the possibility of enrolling at Mississippi State University to basically major in golf, it would be coool, but I don't think that's what I want to do...
I love golf obviously... but some days I just get so tired of it. I want it to always be something I can escape to in a rough tim in my life. I just don't want to invest in a career in something I love, only to get sick of doing it down the road.
And then there's Auburn...
Ever since I was little I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Auburn. I love the campus, how classy the students are (in comparison to Bama especially), all of my friends go there, AU athletics.... I just love Auburn. I've prayed about it before, and I'm still not sure what to do. My career choice might be at Mississippi State, but my happiness points towards going to Auburn.
I of course don't have to make any decision soon, but time is running out...

UPDATEEEE (Part 2)
Leo Rosten - "Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable."
There is someone new in my life at this moment :)
This past spring break I met (kind of) this girl... We were eating at Applebees at the beach with some of my friends when like twelve high school girls walked in and sat down at my brother's table (apparently he invited them). Well, there was this blonde girl that was in the group. She was BY FAR the cutest one there, so I automatically assumed that was the girl Austin was talking to. That night, she and two of her friends came over to the house we were staying at, and while she hung out down stairs, me and another one of my buddies were upstairs playing some NCAA on Xbox (I know, real ladies' man). I wanted to go down and meet her, but no matter how cute she was, the fact was that she was in high school. So I never gave it a chance.
Fast-forward to Julyish that summer. I hear that Austin has invited three girls over to my friend's house to hang out.... and the blonde-headed girl was one of them. I get excited cause, I mean, she was really attractive; no matter if I wanted to date her or not, it would be fun getting to know her.
Fast-forward a couple of weeks. The girls (blondie included) are coming over to my friend's house while my brother and I am there becomes a regular thing now. I am constantly talking to her, laughing at her amazing sense of humor, and admiring her unexpected maturity. So I get her number and we slowly start talking up a storm.
Fast-forward to present day. Me and Sarah have been talking for just over two months now, and things couldn't be better. I have met her amazing family, and I love spending time with them whenever I go over to visit. Her beauty, maturity, witty personality, great family, confidence, and selfless attitude make me realize how lucky I am to have her at this point in my life....
......and I almost missed-out on it.

UPDATEEEE (Part 1)
A LOT has happened since my last post (I do apologize for the long wait)....so I'm going to make this into two posts.
Jeremiah 21:11 - "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
SO much good has happened to me in the past couple of months...
First off, as you all may know I was NOT happy at the University of South Alabama. I felt bored with the daily routine, hated football, and didn't have a good college experience there. But what hardly any of you know, was that my grades were so bad (2.55 GPA), that I had lost all financial aid priveledges. Being caught up in what seems like an endless recession, this was not good news for me and my family. Meaning whether I wanted to or not it was time to transfer.
The next idea was to apply to some cheap school for a semester (we were thinking Jeff State), so I could boost my grades and earn back my financial aid before heading to Mississippi State or Auburn...... Somewhere along the way though, I got the crazy idea that I wanted to play college golf...... As fate would have it, this was a blessing in disguise.
For a month I called a myriad of schools hoping they could magically have just ONE spot available on their team, so I could walk-on. One by one they all turned me down. I was beginning to lose faith when I had two schools left: Central Alabama Community College and Wallace State Community College. Called CACC and met Coach Jennings, who was a nice man, but unfortunately had no spots left. Before I hung the phone up he had told me that he didn't think Wallace State had any spots left open either.. Honestly, I didn't care what he said. I figured, "What the hell, I'll give them a call anyway." I call and there is no response, so I left a message..
Two weeks later, a Coach Dan York calls me back saying he DOES have one spot available. We get to talking, and he somehow gives me a chance to come try out. That Monday, I drove the 45 minute journey to Cullman Municipal Golf Course for my try out. I WAS SO NERVOUS. On the first tee he tells me he's not interested in my score but just wants to see if my swing's workable, and if I have a good personality. Of course the whole day i try my best to not get angry and to almost advertise myself the best I can. It paid off. I shot a 36 (1 under par), and earned a walk-on spot!
Three days later I get arguably one of the best calls in my life. That Thursday night, I hear my Creed ringtone singing in the other room, I pick it up, and it reads, "Calling: Coach York." I am both nervous and confused because I have no clue why he is calling..... I gather up my voice and answer.
"Garrett."
"Hey Coach, how ya doing?"
"Just fine Garrett, how 'bout yourself?"
"Good."
"Good. Well I got some news for you..." (this is when my heart dropped expecting some bad news)
"Yessir?"
"I believe I have found you a scholarship. So when you can, we need to get you up here to sign, and we need to give you a campus tour." (this is when I threw the biggest fist pump of my life)
"............"
"Garrett, you there?"
"Ha, sorry....yes, I'm.....yeah, I'm here! Thank you so much Coach York!"
"No problem Garrett, you deserve it. I will call you tomorrow with all the details. Talk to you then."
"See you later, Coach!"
(hang up)
That was the call that has changed my life. I proceeded to call Pam and Ray and the fam and we all flipped out haha. I love being at this school, and I love having the opportunity to wake up and do something I love every day. After my broken leg in high school (the low incident that I believe led me to where I am today), I can honestly say with complete confidence that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
Never let something get you down because the next day everything could change.

Long Time No See (Part 2)
I am going to try my best to base my life off of these verses:
MATTHEW 6:1-7:6
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
-GP
MATTHEW 6:1-7:6
Matthew 6
Giving to the Needy
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Fasting
16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Jeremiah 21:11 - "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
I have realized a lot about myself within the past couple of weeks...
First off, school has always been hard for me. Not necessairily the tests, quizzes, or homework assignments either.
I have always been in a pickle when deciding on what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have spent hours searching the web on looking for an occupation I'd be interested in, but my efforts have always resulted in nothing. That has always been my worst fear. Growing old, letting life passing me by while I do something that I hate. At first, I thought it was physical therapy.....nope. Then I thought it was communications.....nope. However, third time's a charm.
Just recently, my uncle told me about this program at Mississippi State University that was right up my alley. The program is in PGA Management with a BS in Administration/Marketing. With my love for the game of golf, I feel everything that has happened to me over the past few years of my life has set me on the right path for the rest of my life.
Everything happens for a reason.

Another Bump in the Road
Psalm 9: 9-10 - "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."
This past week has been on of the worst, physically, in my entire life..
As I mentioned in my last post, I went to the YMCA Camp Hargis for my job training as a councellor. Well, as fate would have it, while we spent the night, bed bugs (yes, they are real) came out and bit me...BAD.
Last Saturday, I was on my way back from Doodles when I noticed a couple of little, red bumps starting to form on the inside of my bicep...and they started to itch. Later that night, I was spending the night at a friend's house when my lower back, arms, legs, feet, hands, and neck started itching. I tried to sit in his hot tub....didn't help. I tried to swim in his pool....didn't help. I tried to sleep it off and deal with it the next morning....couldn't do it. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING INSANE. Since we had no car at his house, I called my parents to get one of them to pick me up...I could not bear the itching and bites that continued to mess with my mind. I grabbed my shoes and went running to get some wind on the bites so I would stop scratching, but even that wasn't enough. As soon as my mom arrived at my friend's place, I hopped in the car and headed home. It was six in the morning.
I got home and immediately hopped in a bath tub filled with hot water and oat meal oil (to help the itching). I stayed in the bath for probably another two hours. At the time, not me, nor Mom, nor Dad knew what was going on with me....they assumed poison ivy, but were both confused at the formation of the red marks and hives that appeared on my skin. The options of poison ivy, misquitos, bed bugs, rocky mountain fever (from ticks), were all possibilities, but we could not start treatment until we knew for sure what it was. I spend the rest of the day lying STILL in bed or in an oatmeal bath.
The next day, we find out that I am having a severe allergic reaction to bed bug bites. My parents contact our doctor, and he prescribes me a steroid to help get rid of the itch and the bites altogether. That night though, I layed in bed and thought about everything......I even later started tearing up. None of this was from the painful allergic reactions or the meds, but simply because I realized that I have done a crappy job of living my life for God...and it was obvious the things I needed to change. I am now working on them all.
Everything has gotten better. the itching is now almost completely gone, and the bite marks are on their way out as well.
Lord, thank You for helping me through yet another one of life's speed bumps. I believe it will help me to be more cautious and aware of my situations in the future. Also, I thank You for my deep thoughts that I had that second night. I have realized that I have not been living my life according to Your way, and as a result, I have not felt happy or satisfied knowing I have not been glorifying You. I will do my very best to improve, but I will need Your guidance along the way.
"And I'll praise You in this storm,
And I will lift my hands.
For You are who You are
No matter where I am,
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand.
You never left my side,
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm." ~Casting Crowns

YMCA!
Proverbs 22:6 - "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
I have the BEST SUMMER JOB
So a couple of weeks ago, I got a call in form the Shades Valley YMCA telling me the got my job application form to be a camp councellor this summer. Turns out ole Pam and Ray turned in my application (GREAT move).
The interview went really well, and it turns out both my brother and I got the job! On the 14th and 15th we had job training at Camp Harliss (?)......we were NOT excited about this at all. We got at the YMCA at 7:30am like we were asked, and from judging some people walking in the door (a problem we all tend to have) it did not appear as if this job was going to be any fun....I was DEAD WRONG. We got on the bus and immediately greeted by now one of my good friends, Shannon. She was obviously an athlete somewhere, and because of her greeting, it immediately lifted some of the bad anticipation about work off my shoulders. The weekend camp ended up being a great experience; we met a ton of new people and found out slowly that this job was going to be one to remember. Oh and by the way......we also got paid $200 for being there....not bad haha.
We had Sunday night off, then it would be back to job training on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8:45am to 1pm. Sounds awful right? Wrong. My first day I realize how special this The rest of "job training" was a breeze, and work starts on the 31st......frankly, I CAN'T wait.
Lord, thank you for blessing me with this opportunity. I believed you have provided me this job for a reason, so I can do my best to have fun and spread Your word.
I have the BEST SUMMER JOB
So a couple of weeks ago, I got a call in form the Shades Valley YMCA telling me the got my job application form to be a camp councellor this summer. Turns out ole Pam and Ray turned in my application (GREAT move).
The interview went really well, and it turns out both my brother and I got the job! On the 14th and 15th we had job training at Camp Harliss (?)......we were NOT excited about this at all. We got at the YMCA at 7:30am like we were asked, and from judging some people walking in the door (a problem we all tend to have) it did not appear as if this job was going to be any fun....I was DEAD WRONG. We got on the bus and immediately greeted by now one of my good friends, Shannon. She was obviously an athlete somewhere, and because of her greeting, it immediately lifted some of the bad anticipation about work off my shoulders.
