| I used to spend so much time writing down my thoughts but when I am inspired I'm driving on the interstate. I guess trying not to lose one's temper on the road leads you to thinking other things...
Also, I love praying in the morning in my car on the way to work. It just puts in me a mentality that what I have to do today is not about me or impressing others but God.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that al throughout the days because I let myself get caught up in circumstances but I do know that starting the day off right with God, first thing, is better than going in on my own efforts.
I long to get closer to Him - somedays it seems more unattainable than ever. Then, I get a hug from him and I am grateful for the love.
It does amaze me how Satan can put one little thread of doubt in our heads and it spirals. I don't believe that when we know Him we don't want to rely completely on Him; but it's amazing how one tiny thing can lead us to total doubt. I never saw how extremely fragile this relationship is except when I see how every day it's a struggle to hang on to what i know is true. But the power we give Satan unconsciously it surprising too.
I want to see the new movie stop-loss. It's about soldiers, Iraq War and Texas.
I love living in Texas, it really does feel like home - even if it is different in so many ways from the rest of the country.
I love TEXAS! 
God has put me here and I am grateful for that - this is my city and it is my home. | | |
| Here's the thing, for the last couple of days I have been FREEZING!
I'm not liking it. People talk about how wonderful it would be if we got snow. I state that they obviously aren't from any where that regularly gets snow - because if they did, they wouldn't say something so crazy like that!
I'm not liking it kids. I have to bundle up so much and then I wake up hot. Gross.
Anyway, I am trying to go through this workbook and trying to go to the Bible study. I tell you challenging yourself isn't easy. Especially when it just seems overwhelming. Plus, when something goes by really slow, I get antsy. I don't get what it is I'm supposed to "get."
I haven't really written on this thing for a while. But that's cool. I don't really feel like I can write a whole lot down here. I'm trying to be more positive in my life but that just seems like a far-fetched dream. It's so easy to get down when you're hesitant to seem upbeat and then get run over like a bug. What do you call faith when you have very little hope? I don't really know. But I'm trying to decipher this paradox. | | |
| I've always wondered about the phenomenon where people come to work and several people are wearing the same color. No, they obviously didn't call each other and they're not from the same womb. I bet it's something that is psychological and that somehow everyone in a similar environment is connected...
I have more thoughts and should take more time to write them down. I don't know, for some reason it was so much easier to take the time to keep my thoughts classically filed for me to come back and visit in the future.
I have to go to a wedding shower in a little bit and it just goes to show me that everyone in my life is growing up with adult responsibilities and I'm still in my own little semi-adult world.
I really hate how my rent is going up by $41! it's ridiculous high-way robbery! I thought there were laws for this kind of thing...

| I actually am updating my little and give you an update on the fun and excitement that is my life.
I've been working a lot and work is a little stressful. God is showing me that He MUST be my everything to get through the day in all that I do. It's not an easy lesson because it is one I must learn and expand on every day. I even realize how asking to do His will and doing things are two different things; because what I do must be with His will and not just for Him. The difference I'm doing what he has planned for me or I'm doing what I think is glorifying to Him. Not always the same and with different outcomes.
It's easy in this world of working for a man to be consumed with doing everything for him and the people he puts over you. I feel lost and afraid with the high levels of uncertainty. But I know that what I do is not for the gains of what I can find here on this earth it is what I do where He puts me. There's more but it's an evolving process that drains the energy out of me.
I bought a mattress this weekend and let me tell you they aren't cheap! But I did get something that I really needed that fits some personal critieria that's important. I hope this is a good investment and helps my sleep troubles a little bit more.
I get another day off!
This is so awesome. I can't wait to do it again!
I just needed a little more time to enjoy not having to run around like I'm preparing for the second coming. Finding rest in Him is also another thing that I will delve into later.
I think I'm going to play my Age of Empires II: Golden expansion again! | | |
| Now I know why people who have full-time life-consuming jobs don't do much on Friday night. I could have done something last night, but I just didn't have the gumption. It was okay though, I just needed to let my body de-compress. What was weird though, is I woke up early this morning wondering why I didn't set my alarm when I only had an hour left to sleep.
I also find it funny that i want fast food on the weekend too. It's a good thing I have extra points on the weekend to be able to accomplish that - the only thing is I'm trying to lose those stubborn last few pounds. Oh, well, you have to do something to make you a little happier, right?
I think I'm going to go shopping today, even though I don't really feel like it but I think it could be good for me. Most of it will be for work but at least I don't have to go into work.
I do have a funny story, but I don't want to post it here because - well, it's not bad it's just kinda weird and potentially embarassing. So, if you wanna know you have to ask.
Peace out! | | |
