Ponderings for the Day

So my new favorite workout activity is to take my landlord's dog for a walk. It's more about going for a walk/jog than the dog, but she keeps me company and I feel like I have a ferocious beast to protect me should anyone get any strange ideas. (Scary, isn't she? Okay, so she's not... But still...)

I've been excited about the last new song I wrote. It's a jazz style (I don't know what kind of jazz, probably "cheesy jazz" if that's a style since I don't know how to write different genres!).

But it's awesome because I had some crazy song writer's block, and was getting frustrated because I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound like every other song I've written. And amazingly enough, I took it to prayer and the Lord answered my prayer! :D

The Lord is good. When I was in a place of frustration and doubting His love for me, He was faithful to show me my error and remind me of His amazing love. He is great. That's a very small summary of how He has recently blessed me, and doesn't really do it justice, but I'm so blessed I'm just speechless! What can I say? :)

Until next time... Peace out.

Long Time No Blog

So, it's been a while since I've posted a blog. It's set to my home page - It's not as if I have forgotten about it... I just haven't really had much to write about.

Life has been good lately - Though even when it is not we can trust it is all working for good (Romans 8:28). But it's really been good in every sense of the idea. God is stirring up His people at my church, and we are finding ourselves with a new desire to invite others and to pray. The hearts of the people are changing in a good way (including myself!) and I am excited to be a part of it!

I recently got a new Macbook Pro! I have been wanting a Macbook for some time, and was finally able to get one. I chose to go refurbished and saved $300. The only difference between mine and a brand new model was 0.26 GB RAM. Not a problem for me, especially considering my old PC laptop had about 0.00005 GB RAM total. Utterly sloooooow...

Aside from these things, life is still trudging on in its non-routine, routine way. I'm still traveling about the country for work (see the new pictures I posted!) and working from home when not doing that. The allergy/diet thing is still a thorn in the flesh, but it's a relatively minor one compared to some, so I won't complain.

I am totally happy to be spending more time with my dad and step-mom, and look forward to going on vacation with them next month. At last! A summer that means summer! All the kids are always talking about how great summer is (because they're out of school). Where's my summer break? I want 3 months off!

I've also taken up working out with my land lady and a couple other friends when I can. If I can get out of bed and ready for work by 7:30am, I can join in (so you see what I mean by "if I can"!). We are doing various Beach Body workout videos, including the famous P90X. When I "can't" make it for workout I have decided that taking their dog for a walk is a lovely alternative. And much less strenuous!

Well, peace out for now. Perhaps I shall update my blog again before 2011. We'll see. Enjoy the new pictures though! :)
