Days like these

I guess I'd rather be out and about staying busy in my life. It seems like on days like these (raining) that I come home and don't do anything... I go to work, go to the gym on my way home, then nothing. And the "alone" feeling sets in. Sure, Piper's here keeping me company, but it's just not the same as a human able to carry on conversations, having fun, and sharing life. Most days, I don't even see it, or I ignore it, as I fill my days with so much that I barely have time to breathe. I spend time with my family on some days, others with friends. Guess I'm looking forward to the companionship in a serious relationship. Someday....I know. In God's time...I know. Be patient....I know. I try. These days don't happen too often, but when they do, this is how I think.

Still kickin

Upon my absence...so much has taken place!!! My time has been consumed lately by Tetelestai rehearsals with only 1 more left before we start spreading the gospel to those searching for something deeper. I'm so excited to start. Of course, the past week was also a week of celebration for the Steelers winning the Super Bowl. I ventured to the lovely city of Pittsburgh with my dad to join in welcoming the Lombardi trophy home. That, in and of itself, was such an awesome experience.

Last night was cool. I met up with 2 of my close friends and one wife and her friend. By the end of the night, the ladies went home and it was just the three of us hanging out, shooting pool, just like old times. It has been a long time since we had done that. And it came at just the right time.

I'm going to gear up for the Cavs game today and just relax before having to go to work tomorrow.

I actually read an entire book!

I know, I know...hard to believe! I finished the book I've been reading. It took me less than a month, but I can say that I retained some of the information in it. One of the most intriguing parts of the book led me to the Bible and the book of Job. The past two weeks have been a challenging roller coaster of emotions for me, personally. As I was reading the beginning of Job, it was amazing to me how Job was able to remain faithful to God even though his life was being turned upside down by Satan. I guess I saw that sometimes we will never know why God says no to our prayers or has us endure painful situations. No matter what, we still need to be strong in our faith and trust in Him.

On to the Super Bowl!!!! My beloved Steelers of Pittsburgh have proved they are the best in the AFC...and soon will prove they are the best in the whole NFL. When they do, I am planning to make the 2 hour drive to participate in the festivies when they bring the Lombardi trophy to the Steel city.

Tomorrow, with no football on tv, I will be going to church then teaching my junior high CCD class. Then, I plan to go to the gym, and go to Wal-mart to get groceries. Think I may try and see my nephew sometime tomorrow as well. Peace.

Joining the 21st century

After reading all about what's going on in everyone else's lives, you have all inspired me to tap into my education and use it to keep up with the world. Just hanging out here in my apartment with the one in my life who thinks I'm the best...Piper, my loyal puppy. As you will see, I usually get to the point in as little words as possible when I'm writing. I am looking forward to tomorrow morning as I will be getting my car back after many repairs to the engine. There have been many lessons God has taught me in these last couple weeks having no transportation. For one, I should be thankful for the little things in life that sometimes I take for granted. Two, having a mom like mine is such a blessing. She struggled through the inconvenience with me. And three, God only puts as much as we can handle in our lives at one time. These lessons aren't really new, but I guess He thought I needed reminded again!
