i really can see no negatives in my break thus far. certainly i miss folks from back at school, but it is good to be apart for short periods of time. relationships strengthen that way. but being home has been full of good times. i'm both learning a great deal, and i'm having a good time with my friends. i suppose the one discomfort on my mind is where the money for next semester is going to come from, but God will provide for me. He always has.
my general day starts off with an alarm from my cell phone... being that i forgot to bring my alarm from school home. the cell phone works well though because it tricks my subconscious in to thinking that someone is trying to call me, and when people try to call me, my heart rate increases to both find out who it is, and to answer. this little "pavlov's dog" manuver helps me get my day started off right. i've been waking up at around 9 o'clock due to obligations, but i haven't missed sleeping in. frankly i don't get tired to much while i'm home. there's alot less here to consume my energy. after i wake up though, i generally enjoy a nice long shower, but no breakfast. i'm still too lazy to cook when i wake up... uh... but anyways i eat a big lunch and dinner to make up for it. as i have previously mentioned, i am house sitting right now, so my second step for a successful day requires me to prevent myself from locking myself out of the house in my pajamas again. this happened over the summer once, but if it happens again, i will surley freeze to death.
the average day has consited of me driving around quite a bit though. i've been trying to keep my money spending down, but i fear gas prices are going to end up slaying me in the end. it just seems like everything i have to do is in the opposite direction of the previous task. not to worry though. i enjoy driving. meeting up with my friends has been most encouraging. i get a chance to catch back up with everyone and just to hang out like old times. i find that i have been excluded from the loop though and probably because i'm the only one i know from here that goes to school in tennessee. no worries. after all, i chose to go there and i don't regret it.
in my being home though, i've decided to make a few attempts at change. i've been doing alot of serious thinking invovling my status as a human being. i think i'm going to be doing some vast improvements over the course of this next semester. i plan on undertaking a much larger task than simply working out though. i plan on concentrating on all four of my bodily makeups. i will concentrate on my physical, mental, spiritual, and soul status. i know it seems like a cliche thing to do around the new year, but i'll try to be serious and committed for it. i've got alot of motivation behind me. i want to physically be somewhat more appealing for the ladies (and by ladies, i mean lady)... and ur... yeah... but that's just one motivation. mentally, spiritually, and soulfully i want to be all i can in order to do what God has put me on this earth to do. though i'm not sure as of yet what that entails, i am ever anxious to find out.
i have thought though that this break will not be near long enough. i suspect i have alot of work to do before i will feel confident in going back to school, but God will complete in me just what it is that needs to be completed in this time. i am confident in that. until then i have many things to look forward to, the first of which is Christmas. the day after Christman, andy, kevin, eric, and i get to lead worship for church, and we get a whole 30 minutes. i am ultra excited about that because i feel truly confident that God will work wonders through that half hour. things are just falling in to place so gracefully, and in such short time. i mean the rehersal tonight was absoluetely amazing. it will be different though. definitaly something that the church as a whole is not used to. this also excites me though in that i am privilaged enough to introduce new styles of worship to people.
anyways, i'm going to get ready for bed now. the guys are over here, brian and brandon. we've been hanging out for a while, but now i'm beat. i will keep you informed the best i can as to how the rest of this week will transpire. i trust it will be above average. peace and love.
