its been a while...
it has been a while since i have posted anything, much less anything of consequence. it has been a busy year thus far, and a busy few days since i posted last. so? i will do my best to stick to the renewed ideals of my blog, which were to post things of consequence, be truthful and real, and generally avoid boring small talk. just got back from wal-mart, where i purchased such rudmentary items as socks, gummi bears, and lighter fluid... lol! it has a been a nice Sunday afternoon, and i have enjoyed the quietness of it all, even getting a nice nap in! my time of late has been spent trying to discern what it mean to live a blanced life. i have work, about 3/4 of what full time would be; school, which has been a challenge of late; family and social life, including church; personal time, of which i managae to snatch a few minutes; and trying to spend as much time as i can and am allowed with my girlfriend, most of which is on the phone, being that she is about 700 miles away. so? it has definitely a learning experience. i am not that great at it yet, it seems that i cannot devote enough time to any of the afore-mentioned priorities, but? by God's grace, all will be accomplished in his timing. GOd has been teaching me a lot of things of late. the biggest one has been the importance of seeking him first in everything. this makes life a lot simpler. i can't say that it makes life greatly easier, in fact, i think sometimes harder. however, when you are certain of what you are doing, it makes the difficult times seem less difficult. and it helps to know that even when i don't have a clue (a lot of the time), that he has things under control, and if i seek him, it will all work out. not always the way i think, but always for my best, and in accord with his plan. and in that i do my best to rest.
i will say that it is a lot of fun having a girlfriend. that's not the reason that we are going out, but it is certainly nice to know that we can have a good time together. it isn't easy being so far apart, but i trust her implicitly, so that is a good thing. i know that the time we do have together is precious, and we will never take that for granted. she has a smile that lights up a room, and a laugh that you can't help but laugh with. she treats me better than i have ever been treated, and i don't deserve it, i'm fairly sure. she see only the best in me, and makes me feel like i can do anything. we both know what the other feels, and it is the same for both of us. she is a treasure, and i hope, by God's grace, i always treat her as such! and that's all i have to say about that. g'night all...
