Well, life is treating me pretty well right now. Support is coming in pretty steady at the moment. I'm just starting to gain momentum and then I have to leave to go to South Korea. I guess it's not such a bad thing since I'm going to the other side of the world. That's always fun. Last weekend was fun. It included 1,100 miles of travel all within five days. Drove to Hickory, NC and back again on Friday. Then I drove from Clemson to Charleston, while stopping in Columbia for lunch. Then Monday I drove to Beaufort, where I was acquitted of all charges in traffic court....pretty awesome! I stayed in Beaufort for the night, which turned out to be a poor decision, then drove back up to Clemson with another stop for lunch in Columbia. I think I decided that I want to live in Charleston at some point in my immediate future. Maybe when I get back from Slovakia...maybe not. I might like it too much there. I'm thinking I'll find me a nice Slovak woman to marry. Just settle in and live happily ever after in a foreign land. Tomorrow starts another week of work at Eco-Art. It's a pretty sweet job. I get to design landscape and install them at the same time. I've decided I don't want to be in the design-build business for myself. It's way too much work and too much time. I need time for my future family. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about hard work and sweat. But I've got to have consistent time to love my wife and kids, Lord willing.
I've been reading in 1 Kings about the disobedience of all the kings that came and went through Judah and Israel. It seems hard to connect myself with those people, but I have to continually remind myself that I am a sinful man, just like the last and next guy. Pray for the Lord to open your eyes to your sinfulness. It is paramount that we understand our fallen nature...and then grasp onto the Gospel of Christ and cherish it. It is the only place of peace.
Peace and Love to you,
Matt

Saturday, June 2
it's going
Well, it is officially June. It's kind sad to see May go by. I've had so many memories; graduating, spending countless hours in studio, going to the beach, sleeping. Yeah, it's been quite the month. But I must push onward toward my goal of getting to Slovakia.
So my support is coming in....gradually. I can't seem to setup any actual appointments, though. Everyone I talk to doesn't seem to be interested in meeting with me...although some have already decided they want to support me, which is cool I guess. I'm hoping I can find more contacts here in Clemson and be able to have meetings in the evenings. That's if work doesn't kill me first.
Eco-Art is fun so far. I've mostly been working out on the jobs and sweating most of the day. I did get to work on a design for a future job Friday. The design-build world is a hard one. You've got to find all your own work and provide enough work for your employees at the same time. I don't think it's something I want to do long term, but it's good for now.
I'm gonna make some phone calls and try to get some appointments setup. If anyone out there would like to meet with me about Slovakia, give me a holler!
peace,
Matt
