What Has Today Brought?

I’d haveto say that all-in-all it was a decent day. I would have preferred to get a bit farther along in my data-entry, I spent a good portion of the day generating mailing lists. I would have to say that about the best parts of today were getting up early and having some good devotion time and breakfast before I headed off to work. I think both of those things have proven to make my mornings more productive. This evening wasn’t too bad. I didn’t get quite as much accomplished tonight as I had hoped but I did manage to have a rather tasty steak and potato supper, I also began creating an actual budget I hope to be sticking by. This was a huge eye opener. I didn’t realize how much I sort of relied on the side jobs I always seem to be getting, I thank God for knowing what I need. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to cut out one additional trip home this month, and I’m still not certain how I’m going to pay for everything when I head out to MI. I’ve pretty much figured I’ll be sticking to a lunch of popcorn for quite some time. I’ll probably have to bring back the glory days of Ramen as well. I’m fortunate that I’ve got a good supply of meat that should get me by for quite some time. Gotta get myself some of the other dirt cheao meals like oatmeal & pancakes. It’s not like I can’t stand to lose a few pounds anyways, so it’s not all bad.

So, of course my whole life isn’t revolving around money. Well, what else consumed my evening? I ran over to my boss’s house for a bit to help him get Linux booted up on an old computer of his. It didn’t take me too long to get it going. I’m glad to have found that the wireless equipment I setup for him awhile ago was working great with the Linux LiveCD distro. Tried using the Ubuntu disc but found it was an install CD not the live CD. I pulled out the next-in-line which happened to be another sweet Linux live CD distro call Mepis, it took off without a hitch.

The rest of my evening consisted of the budget work and talking online with Vanessa. For those of you that don’t know, how could that be, Vanessa is the one I’m currently dating. It’s a rather complicated long distance relationship at the moment, but on the good side it means more flying and most of all getting to know one of the most wonderful women I know. I really look forward to getting some opportunities to introduce her to my friends and family. I’m quite certain they will like her as much as I do. 🙂

Well, it’s getting late and I’m going to tackle some reading before my head hit’s the pillow. On the bright side, I did get a post in for all your enjoymeny, lol. Valete!

    Garbage In, Garbage Out…Life Is Work

    To get good things out of your life, you have to first put good things in. [W]e don’t have a magic hat that allows us to pull something out of nothing. The positive character traits we seek can only result from a daily commitment to prioritize actions and decisions that please the Lord. I don’t know if it’s our American culture, our sinful nature, or something else entirely, but it seems that more often than not we want everything to be easy with little work or effort required. These lines from my devotional this morning speaks volumes into how we are to live, and how we shouldn’t be surprised when things don’t turn around so quickly for us. The reality is that pretty much all…

    Women’s Roles in Church

    (1 Corinthians 14:26-40) So as read the topic title for my devotions this morning I thought “Ah, something good today about worship”, but as I got to the third paragraph I couldn’t believe what I was reading. This is what is says: “(33b) As in all the congregations of the saints, (34) women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. (35) If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.” As I read those words I found a passage that seems to be used in many church, even my own historically. The thing…

    Knocking Out Another 14 Miles With The Hope Water Team

    Only $355 more to go before October 20th, #GRMarathon day. That’s another 53 people that will get clean water in Africa. Just another $12.25 a day from partners to hit the goal. Who’s with me? https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun It was great to be able to join the Hope Water team again this morning and run with the group. I enjoyed some great conversation with Justin Dykstra. I could sure tell the difference between having someone to run with versus not when I finished the last 4 miles on my own. If you struggle to get out and run I strongly urge you to find a group to run with. The miles melt away when you get into conversation. And you are building real connections…
  • Give Me a Boost

    Well, I know it’s been awhile since my last little updated, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Vanessa & I have been having a great time with our dance class. It’s so great to have someone to dance with, as I’ve wanted to get into dance for a long time. We haven’t been up to a whole lot over the past couple of weeks because Vanessa got sick and then had some back problems. I feel so bad for her, I wish that I could make her all better but only time and rest help to overcome those things. I’ve tried to help her out as much as I can. I guess there is a part of me that just wants to take care…

    God’s Plans, My Hope

    For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord . “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11 NLT I know there will be good days and not so good days. There will be times that the future seems uncertain. Despite how things may seem I know that God has my future in mind and I can rest and rely on that hope.
  • Life is Grand…

    Well, I was doing some chatting with a good friend online earlier today. It kind of came to mind that it would appear my life is consumed with eHarmony and my quest to find that special someone. Anyways, of course this is not all that encompasses my life. There is more, here is what I said earlier: I was just thinking to myself that I haven’t been very diligent in writing in my blog what God has been teaching me, there is really more going on for me spiritually than what is seen in my blog. God has been teaching me a lot through my reading and having daily time with Him. This eHarmony/relationship thing has really been a smaller part of my life, even…

  1. Ahhh….that’s slightly disturbing from a girl’s point of view…Personally, I’d be happy that Tim thinks that Vanessa is a wonderful woman. Sorry Alex!
