Tuesday May 31, 2005

Today was a great day! I went to work and got acquainted with my partner in crime. He’s a cool guy named Steve. Then I found out they’re going to send us to Twinsburg, OH near Cleveland to do our onsite training project. However, today has been a boring day since my company issued laptop isn’t setup, I don’t have my accounts on the network and don’t have access to our help desk ticket program.

So… that was my day. I’ll post again tomorrow!

Later,

Tiffani’s Graduation Party was AWESOME! Then I visited with Hope who finally was able to get out of her house. So then we had dinner at my house and watched Friends. Then I came back and worked on stuff for New Covenant CCCU. Tomorrow is going to rock from a Media/Projection point of view. I am totally excited. lol.

Well, as much as I’d love to say… I need sleep… Call me tomorrow if anyone wants to hang out or do something…

Yesterday was great fun. I went shopping and got three shirts (Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, and Gap). I added it up. What normally would have costed me around $90.00 costed me like $25.00. Then got to talk with Amy a lot yesterday which was great.

Today my friend Tiffani has her Graduation party! So I am going to head down there around 5ish to stop in and see her and what not. Then tomorrow I am helping out my friends in Waverly, OH because they have no computer this weekend… so I am doing the PPT for Worship.

Then I have to run to Bainbridge and check out another friend’s computer. Also saying hi to everyone down there and such. Then finally coming home and prolly hanging out with people.

Monday is the cookout here at the house. So, that’s going to be an all day fun thing.

Just thought I’d update and what not…

Take care kiddies,

Random 2: Oh But God Isn’t Done…

So here it is in black and white. I need to give Hope a little more credit than the last post. Let me be totally honest with the Xanga community and share my feelings…

For a while I’ve been suffering with depression. I am sure it was bad enough at a point to be medicated but I knew that this went beyond myself and more had something to do with me and God. So to make a long story shortER, I hit a low point, God came, broke me, changed me, and now I am a better person for the whole experience.

Now as my depression began to “heal” I had a lot of tough spiritual things happen to me because of the way depression can mess with your mind. God saw this and had mercy on me (which I am 110% thankful). God provided me Hope.

At this time Hope stepped in and helped me out in a big way. She listened. All this time God had me talk to Him about it. Then when He broke me, and began to help me out of depression He took mercy on me and gave me a human to listen to me and give me verbal in-my-face feedback.

I was also physically sick from some type of food poisioning and that mixed with depression and stress, comes out for a nasty combo. Hope would visit me on my really bad days just to sit and watch TV with me. She’d stop in to bring me food on my better (less sick) days. Hope would call me to find out how I was and would be sensative to my voice and tone and would tell me when she thought I was putting on a “happy face” for her.

For someone who is depressed this is like, beyond words. I can’t even describe how that made me feel, it was so much of a help. Even on the days that she didn’t feel well or had a bad day, she’d put her things aside to help me. Not once did she complain and she’d always make sure I was doing the best I could be before she’d leave.

So Hope when you read this, thank you. Thank you for being a friend, a Christian, and just for being you. God uses you more than you know and used you in a huge way to help one of His hurting children out.

So if you don’t know her, you should. She’s a great friend and an all around great person.

With that, I give my thanks and what I feel is a proper thanks to Hope and to God for taking care of me through this rough time in life.

On a happier note, I have “fully” recovered. I have my moments, but they’re short and God typically is there to help me walk. God contiunes to bless me and to take care of me.

Now I can sleep,
John Boy

Random:
Isn’t it amazing how God can be like, “You’re not sleeping until you do what I’ve told you to do.” So then He gives you the energy to do whatever He lays on your heart… and then when you’re finished you have peace and can sleep?

Just thought I’d make that observation for the Xanga community…

Night (finally),
John Boy
