| Greetings all! I apologize for my unintentional hiatus from xanga. I just forgot to do a real post. Anyway, I am doing well. School out in Minnesota is progressing nicely, and quickly! I cannot believe how fast it is going! Come July, I will be halfway finished! I wish high school went by that fast. I am learning a lot along my quest to become an on air radio personality. God is teaching me a lot as well! He is teaching me to lean harder on Him than ever before. He is ALWAYS putting me to the test. I've learned that things in life that are of value never come easy. I would say that the most recent test has been my shunt operation this past January when I was on Christmas break! The lesson that I learned here was to NEVER lose faith in HIM! The Lord definately got my attention there! Like my tagline says: "Life isn't about how hard you can hit... It's about how hard you can get hit!" Story of my life right there. I've been "hit" quite hard in my lifetime but, the Lord has been the ultimate ice pack! So, in a nut shell, that is what has benn going on. Farewell! Nate |

| These battered hands are all you own
This broken heart has turned to stone
Go hang your glory on the wall
There comes a time when castles fall
And all that's left is shifting in the sand
You're out of time, you're out of place
Look at your face
That's the measure of a man
This coat that fits you like a glove
These dirty streets you learned to love
So welcome back my long lost friend
You've been to hell and back again
God alone knows how you crossed that span
Back on the beat, back to the start
Trust in your heart
That's the measure of a man
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
Permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man
You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man

| Hey All! Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. I guess it just slipped my mind. I hope that everyone has had a fun and safe new year. Mine was a literal wake up call from God! A day or two before New Years Eve, I was visiting my brother and, sister in law and their three kids. . I started to feel a little sick. There was a strange bug going around my family. My symptoms consisted of a headache and, an upset stomach. So, a couple of days later, It was the New Year. All of my symptoms were gone except for the headache. I slept until 7:00 that night and, I still woke up with the headache. I knew exactly what was causing it. The reason is that I have a plastic tube in my head called a shunt. I need this to absorb spinal fluids that build up on my head. It is my cerebral palsy that causes this. I had to have it replaced with a new shunt because I basically out grew the previous one. They're supposed to last 5-10 years and, mine lasted for 15 years so, I was due. Without the shunt, the fluids would build up on my head and, I would die. The warning sign was a headache that lasted for 4 days. I'm out of the hspital now and, doing well. Glory be to God for bringing me through it safely. I have about forty staples in my head from the surgery that are coming out soon enough. I'm home now and, recovering so that I can go back to school in Minnesota Next week. So, all in all, it was quite a way to start 2007! |
