Where Have All The Posts Gone?

So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house.

Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my sister’s graduation. Vanessa came in on Friday and stayed through Tuesday. Friday night and Saturday were busy and stressful days getting ready for graduation stuff. On Sunday was the actual graduation cermony. That eveing Vanessa and I went on a picnic. We finally had some time for ourselves. It was an amazing evening! On Monday we went with my family to Valleyfair for the day. We had a blast getting wet and going on roller coasters. The weekend, and most specifically the time with Vanessa was too short. It has been harder for us to be apart over these past couple of weeks.

Well this Monday I got an excellent call. Before the Memorial weekend I got an initial call about a possible job. This Monday I got a call requesting an onsite interview. Welll, so I am all set to make anothe trip out to MI next Thursday. God’s pretty amazing how he provided this opportunity for Vanessa and I to see each other again. I’m really hoping that I can perhaps line up some other interviews maybe so that my trip isn’t wasted, job wise, for a job I don’t get. It’s going to be and interesting trip. I’m going to be taking a flight from Minneapolis to Chicago, then hoping on a train to Michigan. I’ll be doing the same in reverse on the way back. This will be my first train ride so I’m kind of excited about it, but nervous too.

Well, that’ll be all for now. I’ve been busy this week getting things cleared out, and starting to pack some things. tata!

    Wild Life: No One Gets The Master Plan, And No One Is Perfect

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    I’ve known for a long time that I’m a perfectionist and a planner. This had always been both a strength and a great weakness for me. The major weakness is that I’m always trying to figure out God’s plan and I turn my perfectionism into unrealistic expectations of others. Also my perfectionism takes a lot of joy out of life. It means that unless it’s perfect I’m not happy, and the kicker is that it most likely 9 times out of 10 it isn’t going to be perfect. That’s a pretty sad way to live honestly. Add to the perfectionism the desire to always have a plan makes life pretty difficult as things more often than not don’t go according to the plan. Reading through…

    What Have I Gotten Myself Into…?

    ByTim Nolte
    OK, let’s recap the day first. Got up at 5:30 this morning. Had some good time before work. I still really feel getting up at 5:00 would be better, I just can’t get to bed very early, grrr. Work was good today. I feel like I’m finally getting caught up with stuff. Yes! That’ll probably jinks it, LOL. I’m finding that I’m going to have to do some research to find a better system for the free church websites we’re providing. I might have to do something custom, so long as it’s easy to use. Overall a good day. It was nice to have some extra time today before youth praise team practice. The practice went pretty well. Some of the songs are new so…

  • The Rat Race…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, it’s been crazy lately. I’ve had so many things going on. So I haven’t gotten much for posts up in the last few days. I was up way too late trying to get me photo gallery going on Thursday, after my walk. The walk Thursday was very relaxing. I wish I didn’t have so much going on all the time. I really enjoy the time outdoors, I can’t wait until the camping trip this weekend. As a result of being up so late I had a hard time getting up Friday morning, this meant I didn’t get my devotions done before work. It’s been a real battle for me to change my sleep schedule. I’ve been such a night owl, but getting to bed…

    Reality Check…

    ByTim Nolte
    Yeah, so I’ve been a lot of thinking lately. Surprised? 😛 Wednesday, at youth group, an interesting question was asked. “What makes you happy?” This really got me thinking. It was very hard for me to actually stop and consider what does make me happy. I made a comment about the fact that I really find enjoyment in helping others out, especially when it comes to computers. Times that I have to spend with friends, like this past weekend, that makes me happy. I think I spend so much time thinking about how alone I am that I don’t feel very happy a lot of the times. I think I’ve been living as though once I find that special someone that everything will be right…

  1. I’m reading your blog – but of couse I was one of those people that was bugging you to do another one right :).

    OK – so I thought I should share my thoughts on the weekend. So one of the highlights was definetely the picnic that Tim planned for me. It was very special. He didn’t go into detail so I will (he is being modest). He spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the picnic the best it could be. He took me to a beautiful park where we sat at a picnic table next to a waterfall type feature that was created. He packed a lot of my favorites and brought sparkling grape juice with special glasses. He also gave me a gift, a journal. I love to journal, so it was the perfect gift! After the picnic, we walked and talked then we watched the sunset. OK – all the girls are at this point saying “ahh that is so romantic” right? It was amazing. So anyways, we had a great time.

    I loved meeting Tim’s family and just spending time with them. Valleyfair was so much fun to spend with most of the family – and it helped us cool down since it was really hot that weekend.

    Well – I better stop there as I have to get back to work. I like it when you write Tim – even though I get to talk to you all the time. 🙂
