Return the call?
04/11/2005
I have really been feeling weak lately. I think it is a good kind of weakness though, because it has driven me closer to the Lord. There are so many things in my life that I am really confused about and I am really hurtin’ to learn. I think I am facing who I am in a whole new way, and being ushered into new places of faith. As great as it is that the Lord is revealing my heart to me, I am pretty disgusted at some of the things that I am seeing there. I see in my heart a lot of ignorance, a smidge of fear, a huge whack of incompetence, and that isn’t even to mention the cowardice. I am praying lots and I think I am in need of a little supplication. Good things are ahead…I truly believe that!
I am sorry if I am being a little bit of a shut-in lately. I have been in heart surgery if you know what I mean?!?!
Stay Faithful,
Opportunity arises…

So this Wednesday I got a call from my Pastor at Salem First Baptist and he asked me if I would be interested in leading worship this Sunday for the Church service. Of course I was really excited to jump at such a great opportunity. For some reason I am a tad nervous…especially since half of the band didn’t show up for practice. And this is the first time I have led – or even been involved at all in leading here. It should be a good opportunity though.
God has really been working in me lately and showing me great things about Himself, and about myself, and even about others. I am at a really weird place right now in my walk. I feel like I know a lot of things about the Christian Life, but I am struggling to put those things in practice. I am even a little confused about HOW to make some of those things realities in my life. I am just trusting that the Lord will open the eyes of understanding as I walk in faith and dependence upon Him. It is great to know that I serve a God who is willing to work with such lumpy clay. ALL PRAISE TO HIM!
Be blessed,
My favorite girls!

Here is a pic of 2 of my favorite girls. One of them I like more than the other…but we’ll leave who it is a surprise 
Kesh is the one in the purple sweatshirt and Lucy is the one in her pocket. Cute eh?
Here comes the airplane…

I need to learn to open up more I think. I have always been a pretty closed person and I think that it gets in the way of things. I know that there are people who are hurt by the way I am, and I guess there is a little bit of a temptation to just pass it off as a “built-in” personality trait. But even if that is so, if it is hurting other people in can’t be one that God intends me to keep.
I hope that I will be able to look back on these days and see how far the Lord has stretched me and grown me. I hope that I can look back and see a place that is only vaguely familiar. I want to grow and mature so bad, and I am getting a little anxious to see what the future has in store. I have a funny feeling that God has got some surprises up His proverbial sleeve for me. It should be fun!
In Progress,
Grand ol’ time!

After class tonight I went out for a cheeseburger and a brew with a few friends. It was good times! I wanted to go work out, but the fella at the desk wouldn’t let me bring a guest since it was past 9pm so we ended up going to cruise WAL-MART instead. It was just as fun and I guess we burned a few cals by walking the isles Anyway, I just wrote half of a song. I am really tempted to finish it now…I usually don’t finish songs if I don’t do it all in one hit. But then again it is almost 4 in the morning and I have a lot to do tomorrow. Well…I think I might mess around a bit and see if I can’t come up with a cool chorus or something. Then it is time to take these undies to bed!
Adios!

I am tad bit tired right now, so that is my disclaimer for the rest of this post. Yesterday was pretty fun. Kesha and I went and took a whack of new fotos for the site. We had some good fun and then went to the Ram for a few beers and a cheeseburger! Yummy! Although that won’t do me very good in my quest to lose 10 pounds. Today was spent helping some friends move. It was quite the chore, but it was fun. Tonight I am gonna be doing some work on the University Life Salem website. It should be top-shelf when I am done with it
I am feeling awkward tonight. I feel like I could go driving for hours and hours and never come back. Wait…scratch the “never come back” part. But I just need to spend some “loner” time. I think it is good for me to spend time alone every now and again. It helps me deal with stress and talk with the Lord in quietness. I don’t lead a very quiet life so it is always good when I get a chance to take a deep breath and chill with the Lord. Maybe I will do that tomorrow after Church. I wish I could do it right now, but I have a whack of laundry on the go and G & T in the next room.
That’s about all for today I think…I am not in a super talky mood. Anyway, thanks for listening to (aka. reading) my thoughts.
Peace
