First post of 2008
I'm starting to feel old...I remember 1998--10 years ago--with no problems, I'm almost twice the age of 11, and am in my 4th year of college. Going off of that, I have no clue what I'm doing after graduating...
I've been practically living on my parent's couch for the last two days and am starting to get really bored. All I've done today is get a phone call from my mom that I don't need to babysit for my neighbor, get up at 11:45, read a book, munch all day, talk a little on my phone, and sit on my computer.
Faithwalkers was good, it knocked me back in the right direction by pointing out that I was being lazy in my Bible reading and praying. It informed me that I was being too proud in some areas (such as my past leadership experience), which also explained the negative thoughts and criticalness that I was experiencing in my head. Other things were mentioned there that got me thinking and that I didn't totally agree with such as using the term "church hopping" and the speaker's explanation of it, and the pushing of traditional female roles. If you're wondering about this, you can ask...I don't want to type a really long explanation right now. Liz's car broke down on the way back (near Ottumwa, Iowa) during a snow storm that was apparently shaped like a hand...it was fun/interesting for me, but frustrating for others. We (Dean and I) got back to Coon Rapids at about 11 p.m. on New Years Eve.
New Years went well for me...I got to bring in the New year with Dean for the third year in a row, which was nice (although there was no party this time, just a nice silence). I also got a taste of the party that was thrown at my house, as well as sleeping in till nearly noon for the first time in months.
