Blown up and put back together
My computer (after almost 4 years of service to me) has kicked the bucket. Totally gone... Oh well, Carley and I are going to save up and get a new computer that will be "Our Computer", no more of this "your computer, my computer" stuff. Just another step in us becoming a team and a stronger couple. Which we are already. I love you darlin!
Having no computer is not that bad actually. I mean, I can still use Carley's laptop for my daily internet stuff (emails and such) but I don't find myself getting lost in surfing around looking for stuff to occupy my attention and time. I've spent a lot more time reading, playing guitar, and resting. I've also spent a lot more quality time with God. (more on that later)
Two weeks ago, I was in a car accident. Don't worry, I'm not hurt and my car is still driveable, it's just not the vision of classic Nineties TBird beauty that it once was. I think I slammed into and drove against a guardrail. I really don't know what happened. I was on the way to work at 6am when I fell asleep or blacked out at the wheel, and came to just in time to steer the car back on the road. This caused some concerns about my health to bubble up to the surface and I had some tests done on my blood sugar, metabolism, and thyroid. All the tests came back okay (except for the fact that I about fainted while they were taking my blood for the second day in a row) But the people in Occ. Health wanted me to go to ER to have an EKG done because they were worried about my heart. After spending a crazy three hours in the ER hooked up to monitors and an IV, they told me that my heart murmur was still there from childhood, and I was under severe dehydration that was causing problems for my blood pressure. So I am going to see a doctor Friday morning about all that. Besides that, I'm not allowed caffeine and I have to drink plenty of fluids to keep myself properly hydrated.
Two paragraphs up, I noted that the computer being gone had enabled me to spend more time with God and it has. In the past month or so, it feels like I have underwent a huge transformation. One night, alone in the office (Carley was sleeping), after a lot of intense introspection and prayer, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and surrendered my life to God's Will. Since then, we have been going to church as regularly as my work schedule allows, and I spend some time with God everyday reading and studying the Bible and reflecting on God and my relationship with him, as well as life in general. He has put me at great ease, even with all the recent stress, I know that it is all in His hands. I feel the need to offer myself to Him and others around, and go through each day asking myself what I can do to be a servant to God and the people around me. I plan to be baptized very soon. If you are reading this and you are a close friend, I would love to have you there. I wrote this because I felt the need to let everyone know of the great work the Lord has done in my life.
That's all for now. I love you and God bless you all
