Another Year Older…

Well, I’m now one year older at 27. I guess I’m kind of starting off this new year of my birth with some changes, LOL. I was able to get up at 5 this morning & be to work by 7. I ate breakfast, watched a little news, did some devotions. I was given a little celebration during break at work too! I was given a birthday balloon and a card from everyone in the office. It was nice to have my birthday be a little more than just another day. That was really the extent of it but it was the best birthday I’ve had in a long while. Some year it might be nice to actually have a party with friends. No biggy though, it was a pretty good day anyways.

So kind of a bummer, one of the servers (the File Server) decided to have problems. Looks like one of the drives in it is going bad. Basically it took all day to bring it back online. It up and running now, hoping it’ll work for people until I get the new drive in. It made it kind of hard for some to get a lot done.

I got home around 4:15 or so from work which was nice. I did a light supper, eating breakfast and having a good lunch I wasn’t very hungry. This is just fine as perhaps I can shed some pounds. A side note, when I was talking about getting up early it was mentioned to me I should be going to the YMCA. There is I guess some kind of health insurance reimbursement for this. I might look into this if it can almost cost me nothing. And it would mean I would have to go in like twice a week. I probably wouldn’t do this in the morning but perhaps for an hour right after work. So back to the evening after work. After supper and some Seinfeld, sweet, I got to work on the website project I was hired for. It was actually a pretty productive go of it. I think I’ll be ready to get the forms all coded up and should be ready for a review next Monday.

Well, I finished up the night with doing a little surfing, and now my blog post for the day. I’m going to get a chapter of “A Passionate Life” in before I hit the sack. All-in-all it was a pretty good day.

Ok, so one final note. Today of course didn’t come without some thought of getting older and still batchin’ it. Actually, someone mentioned it in a little note in my b-day car at work. Yeah, so I’m another year older, a little closer to 30, and still single. Well that’s just how it is. There really is no reason to fuss over it. There are plenty of people that would like to see me get hooked up, and that’s just cause they want to see me happy. None of us know God’s plan for our lives, so we can’t be worrying about what’s not in our control. Granted some may argue that me being single is very much in my control. As I talked with my friend Chad last week. I have things I just don’t think it’s right to compromise on. I do feel like perhaps I’ve got a pretty small box for someone to fit into, but God knows how to make that work. When, and if, the time is right someone will come along. If I lose sight of that then it’ll just get me down. I just thought of too, that perhaps there is someone out there that is wondering why they haven’t found someone, and perhaps it’s because they are in my box and that box just doesn’t work for others. (not sure if that makes sense, hard to explain) Well, it’s 10, and I need to get to bed…sleepy calls. Really should have been in bed like an hour ago, LOL. NIGHT OWL!!!…LOL! Chow!

    When God Moves…

    Well, I have a feeling if I just let things start to fly this post might get rather lengthy. Hmm, hold on to your hat. πŸ™‚ So today was sort of a struggle for me. The part of my job that I like the least is having to sit at a computer and correct people’s addresses, or add them to a mailing list, yuck. I’m finding I’ve become bored with the whole thought of doing data entry. The things I always like about computers and technology in general are making them do cool new things. Also not just do cool things, but things that can help people better accomplish their work. Well, I’m at a loss to know any better, or cool, way to get…
  • Time To Get Serious: Encountering a Holy God

    Psalm 11:4-7 – The scripture for today talks about God’s Holiness and our sinfulness. I think it becomes so easy, and wrongfully so, for Christians to begin to rank sin. The reality of it is that in God’s eyes there is no one that is more sinful than another. I know we can think that as Christian were better, and not nescesarily boasting in that, but we think those that maybe aren’t Christians are so much worse than we are. Boy are we deceived. God is Holy and perfect and can’t stand the hint of sin. As Christians the difference for us, as compared to someone that isn’t a Christian, is that we have Christ standing in place for us. The decision we make to…

    Busy Night…Small World

    Well, today (er, I guess looking at the time I have to say tomorrow), it was a pretty slow day at work. Had a fun time talking about bread with a co-worker, she has like 3 bread machines, seems like her family would have bread coming our of their ears. From the conversations in the break room today you could definitely tell it was a Friday. After work I stopped at the seminary to meet with Phil to talk about a projector installation project. This will probably be a side job, which means some extra cash. It shouldn’t take too much to get a list of the equipment needed and do the install. I decided I wanted to get over to the play at “A…
  • Haven’t Posted in Awhile…

    I haven’t posted in awhile, something I must work on as usual. Seems like these days I’m so terrible with keeping in touch with people. This isn’t the way I’ve wanted it to be. I seem to constantly struggle between holding on to the life I once led and pushing forward with the new life God has given me. As this new year has begun I’ve had some opportunities to reflect on my life, and how God has changed it in a huge way. A little over a year ago I would have never guessed that within the next year God would bring an amazing woman into my life and lead me to change almost my entire life. God is so good, and faithful beyond…
  • Pride, Ego, And Selfishness

    Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. – Romans 12:3 NLT Too often we get caught up in ourselves and we need to remember that in God’s eyes we are ALL equals.
  • Been A Long Time

    I haven’t posted on here for so long I’m sure no one is following me anymore. It’s crazy to think that there was a time when I was posting like everyday, sometimes twice. Things are of course different now. I think the thing is that when I was posting before it was all about what was going on in my life. Now my life is not just me but my wife also. I think if I put myself out here, I’m taking her along with me, and I don’t want that. The other problem seems to be finding the time. There are just a lot more important things, like my wife, than blogging. I do try to post little updates on my Facebook or Twitter,…
