| Its been awhile, but not too much has happened. I went to one of my good friends concert. That was amazing, and I'm excited to let you know that Complex Zero's CD release is tomorrow, or so Ben says. I feel like a Complex Zero promoter, but you should check out their website, www.complexzero.com and drop them a line :) Im looking for a new car, and that seems to be an endless task. Do I want a newer car with nothing? Or an older car with sunroofs and all those goodies..? I dont know! If you know me, you know I hate making decisions, and this one is probably the worst. Work is going good. Lots of hours though. OH! On the 14th, I went for a ride along with one of my cop friends in Columbia Heights. That was the fastest six and a half hours of my life. It was so much fun, and now I have someone to hold me accountable for my dream :) The guy I rode along with is amazing. He kicks me in the butt when Im lazy about applying for college (which I still havent done yet) and bugs me about joining the Police Reserves or trying to get a CSO job, just so I can get some experience. It's nice to have someone in your life who pushes you to do your dream, which is what they do as well. Enough rambling about the whole Police thing. Other than that, I dont think there is too much more to say. Maybe I'll see you in a month or so! God Bless. | | |
| Wow, its been a few weeks since I let you all know how things are going. Things are going great, lately. My van's fixed, so I dont have to worry about being stuck somewhere. My new job is going wonderfully, I love it. We all know that you have your bad days, but I know that those days happen for a reason, and God's in control, and that makes all the difference. I should be getting my new car soon :) I am soo excited. Hopefully I wont get stranded with this car, in some city I dont know, where no one stops to help you, heh.
I had a funeral to attend today, and every time something like this happens, I sit back and I look at my life, and today I realized that I've been working alot, and I havent spent much time with the people that mean the most to me. Im not too happy with that, but then again, I have bills to pay, and debt to get out of, but, I was reminded again today that life is short, and I cant bury myself in my work, and I need to have some fun. So I'm gonna take a weekend off sometime soon, and spend time with friends and family and with my mexican runt, a.k.a., Pablo :)
I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Spend some time this year, and think of the things and people you are truly grateful for. If it's a person, let them know! :)
God Bless | | |
| Alright.. its been a few days, but I've been busy! I've had a rough weekend, and I kept listening to the song I previously shared with you, and God really spoke to me. You know how sometimes, we go through the motions, being the good Christian we're supposed to be? Well, I've been doing it for the past few months, faking my way through. As I was listening to Majesty, being the good Christian, this thought just flew in my mind, and I know it was from God. Part of the Chorus says: Empty handed, but alive in Your hands. Wow! What a powerful statement. I seemed to have been focusing too much on the empty handedness of my life and forgetting that no matter what, I'm alive in God's hands. I'm so thankful for music! It seems that when I'm at a low point in my life, God takes the simplest song, and smacks me in the face with it and says, "You haven't been listening to the words!" And then, of course, I have to listen to all of my CD's, and it gives me new appreciation for these songs that people pour their heart, soul, and God's love into. Well, enough of testimony time. I started a new job on Monday. Seems like it should be fun  . I should be going.. I have laundry to do. Anyone that wants to do it for me, you're more than welcome! | | |
| Okay.. so by now you all must know I'm a night owl. I've been going through some of my cd's and I ran across my Here I Am To Worship discs.. and this song struck me, sooo.. I thought Id share it with ya!
Majesty (Here I Am)
Here I am
Humbled by Your majesty
Covered by Your grace so free
Here I am
Knowing Im a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb
Now I’ve found the greatest love of all is mine
Since You laid down Your life
The greatest sacrifice
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands
Here I am
Humbled by the love that You give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand
Knowing that I’m Your desire

| So I finally went through my email, and Michelle sent me this page quite some time ago.. so here it is. Hold on to your mittens kids, cause here's an inside look of me. 
I'll start with yesterday. My friend Angela and I hung out and watched movies and whatever, and we were thinking about "The Good Old Days" and I had thought of someone I hadn't talked to in forever, Mark. Now, since I hadn't talked to Mark since.. oh, 2000, I went online to search for his email address. Quite the daunting task, if you ask me. I couldn't find it. So, I searched for him in the White Pages online, and found his dad! Now its a little bit weird because I haven't talked to him for so long, and now I'm going to write this letter to him, and I'm not even sure its him! Oh well.. at least I was trying to be a good friend, right? Or maybe a crazy stalker lady! You may be wondering where this all came from...
It all happened when I was at rainbow picking up beans and hamburger buns for dinner, and I saw an old co-worker. That got me thinking about the past, plus, Lars and I went out for dinner and we were talking about the days when Johnny Jr. was in the Worship Team and so was Matt M. That's a complete flashback for some of us.
All of that got me thinking about how I treated people when I was younger, and God brought some people to my attention that I could have treated better. Not that I was horrible, mind you.. I don't think that's in me. Mark was the first person to come to my mind. I wont give you the story right now, partly because I have to go to work, and partly because I don't want to  . Anyhow, so I'm sending him this letter today and I'm kinda anxious to hear back from him.
So an update for all of you who haven't heard from me in forever. I work full time and then some at Pizza Magic (stupid salary), and part time at a gas station overnights. Pablo is doing fantastic! He is absolutely adorable  . Life is kind of moving too fast right now for me to have any major changes, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.
Well, its been fun! I have to go to work now  Love y'all!!!
