Blogging out of Boredom

I don't really have much to blog about but I'm bored so I'm going to write some random pieces of information. Really I should be doing some chores around the house, but, meh.

• God has been good to us & has continued to bless us even though this past year has been difficult. He has proven His faithfulness unwavering & I cannot help but give Him praise & adoration. Thank You LORD... it's impossible to thank You enough.
• My left contact is blurry and it's extremely annoying. Maybe I accidentally got lotion in it when I rubbed my eye?
• I had to run an errand this morning & while I was driving down MacArthur Blvd I had a clear view of the snow covered mountains beyond the palm tree-lined road. God of creation took my breath away.
• This thought crosses my mind AT LEAST once a day: I wish everyone was as compelled by Christ as I am.
• Some people obsess over politics, some people obsess over stocks & the economy. I obsess over God. I blog & talk about the LORD a lot. I don't care if it bothers people either. If you don't like it, you aren't being forced to read it, but I hope you do anyway so that you can get a glimpse of His good works in my life. I live for Him so it's only natural that my conversations center around Him as well. Sometimes (okay, a lot of times) I am a poor reflection of Him but I hope that my faults only shine light on the fact that God loves us anyway & takes us as we are. We don't have to "clean ourselves up" for Him. Everyone's messed up. I'm definitely no exception. In the famous words of DC Talk: "I am the chief of sinners."
• Sometimes I think some of my Christian friends even think I talk about God too much, but again I don't care. My intention behind my God-obsessed convos is not that of a "holier-than-thou" stance, but to remind myself of who the LORD is & who I am in Him. Also, as mentioned in the previous bullet, so that others can see Him working in my life. I <3 Jesus!
  
• I've always struggled with prayer. No matter how in love I am with Jesus it's always been difficult. I'm talking to an unseen God. My mind wanders. I get distracted easily. However, this past week God has been drawing me into prayer & I can't resist. I have been enjoying praying & have been doing it pretty consistently throughout the days this week.
• I'm really excited about some stuff, but I can't talk about it right now so you'll just have to be curious I guess. If you feel you have to know what I'm talking about, you will have to email me directly or call me. That's the only way I'm telling.
• As the end of our CA stint draws nigh, I am sad. How am I gonna function without the only church I've ever loved? Maria said once that she's been a Christian since she was 12 but has never loved a church she attended. If it wasn't for RockHarbor, I'd be right there with her. I don't have high hopes of finding another church that I'll feel the same for. I'm also really gonna miss all of our friends out here. Only about another 16 weeks left in Cali.
• I really want to go to Waco. I haven't been there in a year now & it's about time I scheduled another trip. Maybe David Crowder will actually be home when I'm there next. He's usually on tour so I've never been able to see him at his church. I'd like to see my family again & I miss Jackie :(

I guess that's enough for now. Peace.
