Monday May 12, 2003

Do you ever have those days where you look at your schedule and to-do list for the week and wonder, “How am I ever going to do all this?” Well, from what I can see, it is going to be one of those weeks.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Life’s been really stressful lately. I have things going on with some consulting work I was doing, church, home, and some other things. It’s been one of those weeks where you just want to scream!

One of my very good pastor friends, Rob Faught, sent me this song, for some encouragement. Here are the lyrics:

Lighten My Load
Satellite Soul

And the waves come rolling
Crashing over me
In the fury of a love I can’t contain
Then my doubts come calling
From deep inside of me
With the hope of freedom
I call out your name, and I say

Lighten my load
Lighten my burden
Be the one to take away my doubting
Show me the truth
Show me the reason
That I can believe this time and
Fall in love with what I find in you
Won’t you lighten my load?

 

So if any of you are having a week where it seems like you have so much, I hope this song can bring you the same encouragement. I am going to go, I need sleep.

After reading a few online journals, I have come to find something interesting. Why is it that girls must announce to the whole Xanga community that they are going through PMS? Come on, now is that something that you really want everyone to know? Oh well, it just hit me funny, so I thought I would post it.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Tonight was a blast. We really didn’t have a meeting. We all started talking and joking, it ended up being pretty funny. I have to finish school crap this weekend, and then I am free for the rest of the year! THANK YOU JESUS! It is about time. Anyways, I am going to go, tired.

Well all, sorry I haven’t written in a while. I have been so busy lately it isn’t funny. I have been finishing a bunch of crap for school, and all that good stuff. Then I have been doing stuff with where I work, the company I want to start, stuff at church, and I had a consulting job earlier in the week. So I’ve been running around the city of < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Columbus all week.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Lets see, what else do I want to talk about? Oh, I am trying to get money to go to a Christian Arts Conference in June; but, so far nothing has turned up, so keep praying for that.

I also got talked to this week about doing two more youth camps. Now, don’t get me wrong, youth camps are fun and all; but, I don’t know if I should do all three or not. I guess it would depend of what my work schedule is looking like. Every camp tells me that they REALLY need me, so I sort of feel guilty about telling them NO, and then doing it for another camp. So keep that in your prayers too.

Well, I am off. I have a meeting tonight for church. So I will be out of the house most of the afternoon and evening. If you want to get a hold of me, call my cell phone or beep it if you know my Private ID. If you would like either one of the numbers, IM me at Jcm475, leave your name and e-mail, and when I get back I will shoot you an e-mail with the info.
