So here I am at 11:00pm sitting in my office updating my journal. Why am I sitting in my office? Do you really want to know? Because I wouldn’t want you asking if you really didn’t want to know. Well, since you’ve twisted my arm, I’ll tell you why I am sitting here in my office at 11:00pm on a Saturday night writing in my journal. It’s because God has a wacky sense of humor. What the heck does that…
In response to my last downer of an entry, I do have to say that it is getting better all the time. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because I sometimes feel so low that the only way to look is up, other times I think it’s because I know that God has a wonderful plan for my life. I just need to be obedient to him and his calling and most important to his timing. I hate it when you…
So recently I’ve been thinking of this thing called depression. Sometimes I find myself fighting it. Not to the point that I’m going to jump off a building or anything, but lately I’ve been really tired all the time, I think my stress level is a little higher and I can definitely feel myself sinking (or swimming). Last week I saw this documentary thing called “Supersize Me”. It was really good. It’s about this guy who goes on a McDonald’s…
Well it seems like it’s been a month since I last wrote on this thing. However, in reality it has only been a few days. Wow, so many things have happened since then. Where to begin? I know, I’ll just give a quick recap of everyday with the pertinent highlights. Friday: I had lunch with Dexter on Friday which was really good. It’s been awhile since I saw that guy. It’s neat to hear that God is constantly moving his…
Ahh perspectives. Point of views. Isn’t it wonderful when you can make someone finally see what you see? I believe that so many problems would simply vanish if everyone could see things the way I see them. I know that it’s a pipe dream, but what’s wrong with dreaming. Today was a pretty normal day. I was walking aimlessly around Manoa looking at how much mud came down from the flood (it was significantly muddier) when I heard someone call…
Wow, you don’t write in your journal for two days and it seems like everything happened. But to keep all of my readers from having to read a full novel I will try to give you the abridged version. So let’s see, the last time I wrote was on Sunday night (during an unfortunate poker game in which I was eliminated first) so that brings us to Monday. Monday was actually a pretty good day. I got to sleep in…
Whew, what a weekend it has been. It seems like so much has happened since I was last here and yet I feel so tired, I don’t know how much I’ll get to write. But enough of my complaining, on with the show. So Friday was the day that I went to the Men’s Retreat. It was also the day that I had to get fitted for the tux to wear to Mikey and Liz’s wedding (I’m not sure if…
Yesterday was a rather non-eventful day. Not too much to write about there. Just your standard, usual, routine Thursday. And then there was MiniChurch. You know, the more I think about it, I really like my MiniChurch. It’s going to be sad when we grow to a size that needs to split (hopefully in the next 6 months). Last night Grant, Dustin and George came. Our girls, who just got back from London, were either really tired or going to…
You know some days I really enjoy my job. Sure like any job there are the tough days and the days that frustrate you so much that you want to quit, but then days like today come along and make it all worthwhile. Here’s a tip I learned from our Women’s Pastor Tisha Lehfeldt: when things are going really good, write down what God is doing in your life so you can read it later when things aren’t going well….
So after diligently journaling for almost around two weeks now, I have come up with a conclusion. Journaling=tired. It seems that every time I journal I am tired. I’m not sure if it’s the journaling that is making me tired or if I am already tired and then I start journaling. Maybe one day I’ll figure it out. Despite the journal heading above, today is really Tuesday. I thought about journaling yesterday but as I previously mentioned, journaling=tired. I think…
