| I'm leaving for the Twin Cities tonight with my counterpart and partner in crime JMac.... It shall be a most excellent adventure.... see you there | | |
| SO much has happened in so little time...
Hmmmmm where to start, first of all.... about a month ago, I was just
feeling really complacent, apathetic, unhappy and just unfulfilled
being in nursing school at Capital. After much prayer and a much needed
weekend away in Minnesota, I came back... and dropped all of my
classes, withdrew from Capital, and society (jk about that one) I moved
down the street to Collin and Josh's ( some of my favorite dudes ) and
had planned on starting C-state in January to pursue my life-long dream
of becoming a firefighter. All was good, no class, no worries, no
money, no car, no food... ok so the good came with the bad.....
But God was there.....
Campus Crusade has been amazing this semester. Its so crazy to see how
God is moving here on Campus and tripling our weekly meetings and just
speaking to us from various different sources, its so refreshing and
awesome. Its cool to live on campus, and be able to spend extra time
doing minstry, without all that "bothersome" classwork.... Don't get me
wrong, stay in school, chase your dreams, but being a nurse, spending
hours studying just wasn't for me. Instead I'd rather spend hours
studying God and the lives of the guys especially that God has put into
my life. Thankfully they allowed me to continue being a leader here on
campus although I'm not technically a student.
God was there....
Fast forward a couple weeks, spent the weekend at home, got my parents
"unseen" blessing about these decisions. I thought they would
definitely freak out, the 4-year plan to success was something they
always stressed. So from going from an amazing 5 year Bachelor of
Science to an un-enrolled 19 year old living in Columbus was kinda
scary. But God was there. I got my 3rd love back "Tsunami" my beige
1985 bmw coupe and I travelled the long road back to Columbus from
Cleveland and i had some time to think. I was continuing ministry at
Capital, had my amazing girlfriend in Columbus, was applying at some
promising positions at local hospitals in Columbus.... Columbus....
Columbus..... So i'm still here...
I started the application process, got accepted to the emergency
medical services program and was about to enroll for class in January
when I got a surprising phone call
I stand in line at C-state registration....... cell phone vibrates (614-236-6111) a capital office number?
"hello?"
"Is Joshua Scheutzow there?"
"this is he..... can i help you?"
"This is ****** from Capital Finance Department, I just wanted to let
you know that we cannot release your transcripts to Columbus State
until you pay your balance here at Capital"
*silence................... what balance? how much is it?"
"Well its from your federal loans, since you withdrew, the government
needed some of the money back for the remainder of the semester.....
its only three thousand, three hundred and thirty-two dollars"
"ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (throw up in my mouth a little bit)"
"ok well have a great day and good luck in all your endeavors!"
So yeah, after that, I exited the building quite quickly....
So many thoughts, I'm 19 years old, I'm living on my own, I have $2.67 in my checking account. My parents WILL kill me.....
I dont even remember driving home
As I lay facedown on the couch in the living room, I thought....
God is here
He Will Provide... one thing I've been learning is just that listening
to his voice isn't always easy, following what he says is even harder,
but he will provide, he will not put you in a situation you can't
handle, and by no means can I handle this, but HE can, thats what I
mean, that a complete and utter desperation will always leave you
relying on God. I place that I'm beginning to find more and more
comfort and rest. He is my refuge.... That was Monday
The story continues....
Eating leftovers and an entire pack of hotdogs over the span of a few
days left me even more desperate. My brother was selling my laptop on
Ebay and had no bidders, my only source of income for the moment.
Finally in the last 10 minutes of the auction, there were 6 bids
leaving me with a good chunk of money... Completely God.I got the money
today and was able to go buy some gasoline and groceries. I had just
enough gas to get to my final interview at Mount Carmel St. Annes
hospital, doing Paitent Tech in the Radiology department. God will
provide. I spent 50 dollars today, 40 in groceries, and 10 in gas.....
I got a phone call from Lauras dad saying he heard about everything
going on and wanted to send me some money, like 25 bucks or something,
to help me get food and stuff.... Later that day at one of his carpet
cleaning jobs, he got his first tip in 4 months, for 30 dollars, he
said that was from God for me, so he sent it in the mail... Tonight
during our servant team meeting, we were praying about campus and
sharing what God was doing in our lives.... I returned to my seat and
got my stuff together at the end of the meeting.... I was about to
leave and opened my cell phone to check my 80 missed calls (ok i'm not
that popular) and a 20 dollar bill fell out of my cell phone.... 20 +
30 = 50, from God..... where that money came from, or who, I'm not
sure, I asked some people on the team, they said they didn't know......
hmmmmm (see below for my answer)
God is there....He will provide
So now, I just am waiting, spending some free time with my guys, and my
girl, and girls, waiting to hear back form the hospital, and have a
different kind of interview next tuesday. A position that was offered
actually tonight. A full time internship with a local church, doing one
on one learning from a pastor and starting a high school mininstry. A
paid position that includes salary and raising support..... What is God
doing? I'm not sure. Maybe closing doors, opening others... The only
thing I know is this...
"seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these other things will be given to you as well"
God is good....He Will be glorified. If any of you guys are in a hard
place, hang on, for the weight of yor actions and love will last
through eternity. Why not get to heaven and have God say "wow you sure
trusted me with alot!!" instead of "why didn't you trust me with more"
In columbus, living life, loving life
PS- I love Norah Jones' music and I dont care who knows

| Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way
This is the way that I'm
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours
This is the way, this is the way
this about explains the past week, then this morning... a beautiful morning, the sunrise brings about something new, i get back up, brush the dirt off, breath in, breath out.... God is good | | |

Also- this is a rough idea of what my tattoo is gonna be, except alot sweeter, I like the Greek in the middle, but mostly just what it stands for is the symbol for Christianity... how blessed are we that we don't have a secret symbol because if people knew we were Christians, they would cut our heads off.. What a life of faith. For me this symbolizes and will remind me (the rest of my life) of the freedom found in Christ, the suffering of past martyrs, the love of Christ, and an interesting conversation piece to compare with buddies at school. A guy I was talking to on campus was showing off some tattoos and had specific dates that "were significant to him" I didn't have the time to ask what they were, but was excited at the thought of being able to share Christ with him and others through a symbol. Hopefully it'll be apparent and obvious in my life, but yeah... Look how cute she is.... she lives 10 minutes away now... that makes me happy 
This is my new cousin Jackson, my uncle and aunt's first child. They brought him to my parents in Cleveland my mom put him in a laundry basket. I thought that went well with our already pre-conceived notions that Olmsted Falls is a.) ghetto or b.) poor white trash neither are true, but the picture says different just wanted to update ya'll on some images that brought smiles to my face the past couple days!! love you all | | |
| I told my mom I was getting a tattoo today.... she laughed and asked me what of, I told her it was of my cat (snowflake) who passed away last year, and RIP across my chest.... she believed me anyway, not much is going on just living the dream, chillin with the girl, skippin class, hope to go hiking tommorow to see some creation, God is good "Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will NEVER count against him." Romans 4:8- I needed this, this week especially... God is good... I miss Ocean City, but most of all I miss the people...
