What God Brings…

It has been a few days since my last update. I think I should now be able to have more regular updates as I finally have internet access at my place, and my wireless is up and running. It’s not that I couldn’t post from Vanessa’s, that’s where the last one was posted from, I’ve just had a lot of other things to do during the day, and my best posting time is usually at night. If I’m at Vanessa’s in the evening we are usually spending time together, well I guess we’ve been spending just about all our evenings together. We have both talked about trying have more of a routine for the both of us. With the holiday during this week, and me still getting all settled in and not working yet, it’s been out of the norm for the both of us. I don’t think either of us mind all the time we’ve had to spend together, our times in the past were so rare it almost seems unreal to have all this time and flexibility, but we will need to settle into a more regular schedule and we’re definitly going to have to work on how late things get. I need to start taking the lead here I think, I need to be looking out for how much sleep Vanessa needs. I’m so much a night person and she is more of a morning person. I need to look at switching gears a bit and get my sleeping patterns adjusted.

I have to say that this week, or at least since I’ve gotten moved here, has been amazing. I’ve loved to see how God has continued to bring everything into place, and how He has blessed Vanessa and I with the time we’ve had to share together. Tonight was really in a way our first date for a long time. I simply cannot wait to be able to plan more date nights. I had so much fun and excitement planning things for tonight. I can only say that I still feel so amazingly blessed by God for everything He has given me, especially Vanessa. I simply can’t wait for all that know me to have the chance to meet her and get to know her. She has such a huge love and excitement for serving God, I love that about her. I’m sort of bumbed that I won’t be able to go on the Missions trip with her in a couple of weeks. I would have enjoyed so much to be able to serve along side her. I truly hope that God brings other opportunities for us to server together in the future.

So today brought many good things. I finally have hot water, the gas company got things turned on this morning. I can now take a hot shower at my place. I had a couple of cold ones and since I’ve been heading over to Vanessa’s to get a hot shower. I now have internet, yeah! The biggest news for me today is that I finally, and officially, have a job starting on Monday. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I guess there is a part of me that worries that I’m not going to be up to the job. I know that I generally underestimate myself, but I guess I feel it’s better then thinking I can do more than I really can. I think that the other thing that makes me nervous is that I’ll finally be put out in the “real world”, or at least the secular one. I’ll be needing to rely on God more than ever to give me what I need each day to stand strong for Him. I’m not feeling that I’m so easily going to be swept up by the world I work in, my concern is how I will express my faith in my daily work environment.

Well, the hour has ticked away. I need to be getting up early tomorrow as I’m helping Vanessa with a car wash to raise support for her missions trip. This will be my first car wash, wish me luck! 😀 I’ll post more as I get a chance. I also hope to start up my podcast now that I have internet. I want to thank everyone so much for all your prayers and support. God has been so good to me!

    Another Day With My Thoughts…

    Well, I think the unfortunate thing is that I’ve lost my amazing blog audience. I can really only blame myself of course. Let’s see, the very fact that I’ve barely had a weekly update, er, ok so it’s barely made it to be a bi-monthly update. Well, on to my continued thoughts. I think the crazy thing is I finally had to come to the reality that I need to let things go. It can be so easy for me to get worked up about something, and in the end it really isn’t very significant in the whole scope of things. What benefit is there to let myself get all worked up to the point where I can’t get to sleep and my mind just…

    Friday & Traveling…

    Well Friday was a typical day. The construction on my new office is taking a little longer than originally hoped. It looks like I should be in by next Wednesday, the server equipment will have to wait until next Friday. I had to take an early lunch break so I could be home while they fixed my internet. It ended up being some problem with the signal coming from the poll. Basically I ended up eating my lunch while I continued working at my desk. I took off early to head to Brainerd for the evening, to say a final goodbye to my brother. He was shipped out at about 1am Saturday. I didn’t stay to actually see him off as I wanted to get…

    John Confirms Jesus

    (John 1:29-34) So, John didn’t know Jesus really, other than what God had revealed to him. However, the key things that God revealed to him was how he would recognize who Jesus was. We see here that Jesus came to John to be baptized. Even though, as far as John was concerned, he wasn’t worthy to baptize Jesus that is what Jesus required of him. He did this and then John saw first hand the Holy Spirit come down onto Jesus, and this was exactly what God had told John would happen. At that point John had no doubt at all that this was Jesus. He told everyone what he had been told and experienced.

    Great IM Converstations…

    I had some excellent IM conversations tonight. Was talking with Ginny and catching up to what their family has been up to. Sounds like Jim is getting steady business. He’s been doing a lot of work for Wells Fargo. And the home schooling has been going good too. We ended up talking about relationship stuff. This was partly due to the fact that I brought up the subject.

    Gracious And Attractive Conversations

    Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. – Colossians 4:5‭-‬6 NLT As believers we are called to speak with grace and love to those that are non-believers. We cannot hold a non-believer to any calling that God has made, that is not our place.

    So What’s My Problem?

    In short, life, more specific, work. So as it grinds on even later in the evening I just felt I needed to get back to this things called blogging. So obviously the daily anecdotes of my life haven’t made their way to this space in cyber-space much. When life get’s crazy you have to take a hard look at what you are spending your time on. I have days that I wish I wasn’t so willing to do things for people. It’s in my nature to give, and give, and give, and give until I’ve got nothing left for me. I don’t regret giving of so much of my time. The time we have here in this is so short, I just want to be…
