A Post, A Post, At Last A Post

So what have we been up to, well when I say we I mean me. So life has been a little crazy this past week, although I don’t expect it to calm down anytime soon. I’ve got a lot of things to do by this weekend. I’ve got a load of photos to scan and some more video to import. I don’t think I’ll be getting the Cantata CD’s done by Christmas, oh well. Ok I guess I’m getting a little ahead of myself. How about we go back to last week.

So my last post was Wednesday. That night was youth group and the whole youth praise team was there to lead music. We were even able to get everything setup in the fellowship hall so it made the night flow a lot more. I got some really encouraging feedback that night. I’m really hoping that we can get to a point of leading music with the whole team every other week. We’re going to be leading some Christmas songs at the Christmas party next week, so this will give us an indicator of how we can do with just one practice. I really should see about nailing the music down tomorrow and make CDs and music to give them on Wednesday. That way they can at least do some practicing on their own before we practice together. Well, we’ll see. We had a pretty good discussion again during our small group time. I always struggle with inadequecy when it comes to leading small group. I just have to trust that God is working despite me, and I know He can.

Thursday was game night again, before hand I was working on getting some things ready for the weekend and working on a DVD project. It was a bit different night as two of the guys weren’t there. It was a good time, shorter normal which was fine as I had more prep for the weekend to do. I was up pretty late that night.

Worst part of last week was getting out of my pattern of early to bed. This made it hard to get up in the morning. Also my devotions time was suffering, this made me a bit frustrated. I’m working this week to get back on track. It’s so hard when I’m still naturally a night person. Another area God needs to work on.

Work last week had it’s slow and crazy days. I’m still a little frustrated with having to bill out my computer time to other departments. It seems so rediculous. I think my biggest problem is I hate paperwork. I’d really like to just do my work and not waste my time documenting every little thing. This isn’t really the right answer, documentation is important, it’s just the part of my job I don’t care much for.

So on Friday it was off to Le Sueur for the recording project I’ve been doing for the last few years. My home church does a Christmas Choir Cantata each year. I started doing the recording for them and making CDs. As I’ve gotten better equipment, it seems how things have been planned and run at the Cantata have changed. Saturday was pretty much a day of trying to get in tune with how the Cantata was going to go. The first performance on Saturday ended up being a bust as far as getting much of anything usable for a CD. The second night was much better, that will be the one I use for the CDs.

I didn’t get home until like 11pm Sunday night. This resulted in me not going to work until 8am this morning. It was alright, but it would have been nice to be home a bit earlier.

Well, that would be the quick side of things. This week will probably be pretty busy too, even though I don’t have an set plans for this weekend. I’m really hoping to get together with the youth guys again to continue through the study of Romans.

Again, another late night. One final note, so I guess I’m not cancelling my eHarmony account. There’s no refund so I’m not about to just willingly throw the money away, perhaps that is part of God’s plan(?). Well, I actually changed my match distance to anywhere in the world. While this partly doesn’t make a lot of sense for me, as I can’t really afford to travel, why put a limit on what God might be planning, right? I’ve determined that I’m fine with being single at the moment. And right now I’m facing the truth that the time I spend on eHarmony right now is with no expectations, I can’t have any expectations, and I need to keep in that mind set. If I don’t stick to leaving it in God’s hands, I get my emotions involved and then get all down if something doesn’t work out. At this point any communication that happens is just me having some dialogue with someone on the internet. Sure God might have a plan with something there, but I’ll be leaving it up to Him to reveal that.

Once again, I feel as thought I’ve had my long-post syndrome, hehe. Ah, if I wasn’t so sleepy, and it wasn’t so late, I’d probably go into even more details from the weekend. Then again, not very many would be interested in knowing what I had for supper on Sunday night, LOL. Well Pizza Ranch Pizza if you must know, hehe. Well, until tomorrow once again, valete!

    God Confirms It

    So I just got done reading my devotional this morning. Wouldn’t you know the subject was exactly part of what I was talking about last night. The “normal” life, or balanced life as the devotional put. Christ’s life, as well as the disciples, was anything but normal or balanced. When it comes to meeting the spiritual needs of others, and doing the things that really count, normality isn’t the way to operate. How refreshing it is to have some good quality time to let God fill me for the day, Amen!

    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…

    Everything In It’s Time

    For me as a Christian, it seems that one of the things I struggle with most is leaving things in God’s hands. I don’t know if part of my struggle is because I’m a man, and I feel the uncontrollable urge to fix things and have eveything planned out. When I don’t know God’s plan, and how can any of us know it really, I realize I fall into the sin of worry. I think it’s probably the worst when I truly desire to leave my life in God’s hands and trust in His plans for it. It think we too, I know I do, fail in having the secret desire of want God’s will for our lives to be what we desire. Above all,…

    Have I Forgotten?

    I know that morning will come too soon, I’ve got to be to work by 5am, but once again I find myself searching. I love how God is always tugging at me and wanting to stretch, and most of all asking me to continue on the path towards Him. Something that has been pulling at me for the past month is my concern that I’ve began living my life for myself. I struggle with Paul’s warning against getting married, and I can see already how my life is about to change. I will no longer have the freedom I once did to serve God and think of nothing else. I’m getting married in a little over 2 weeks and I will have someone in my…

    The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly…

    Well, yes I’m finally posting to the blog again. Trips tend to take me out of the blog-o-sphere. Well, sorry to disappoint many, but this is going to be a short one tonight. I’m not quite out of the dark on the sick feeling that hit me yesterday, pretty close though. The Good: Had a good time with my family and got to hang out with two of my best friends growing up. It’s interesting to see where we are all at now in life. John’s all married with a baby on the way. Sounds like they’ll be doing some moving around in the years to come. I really hope John’s finds the job he’s really looking for. Jeff is still as quirky as every….
