It's been a while...Just wanted to post a thought.
Daily brokeness is what we are called to give of ourselves. Through this brokeness of our human spirit God is able to fill what voids may occur. Gradually we become more like Him and less like humanity. It is the desire of my heart to be close to my Lord. Yet, I still place my faith and eternity in jeopardy for instantaneous personal gratification. Thi sis evident in every sector of my being. the closer I become to God, the larger the temptation grows to deviate from His will. It is frustrating to know that I will never succeed in living as a perfect person, both of the world and of God, but I find encouragement in Paul's writings. he speaks of a thorn in his flesh and boasts of it for God's glory. My thorns should also be boasted for God's glory. I admire Paul's perseverance though he may be downhearted and full of guilt. It is through Christ that we are able to accept our weaknesses and use them as tools to minister his goodness and grace. God has been very real to me as of late. He has been revealed to me in ways and relationships I did not know existed. It is awesome to come to a level of understanding of God's love for me that I am able to see the sincere beauty of the world around me. I have been able begin to let go of a once pesimistic attitude and now find encouragement where I once found fault. I praise God today for the depths of His grace, that he is able to purge my heart of wrong attitudes and allow me to stop hiding behind the masks I have made for myself and become so comfortable with. May I continue to know God more completely in the days to come. And most importantly may I continually choose Christ Jesus over the alternative in every conscious decision that I make from this point forward.
Well...I feel better.....

So today has been an ok day...A lot of inner struggles...A lot of disappointment. Just when you think you have everything worked out it seems to come crashing down. Sin has a way of looking so appealing and attractive. Guess that's what I get for trying to fix things on my own. I have Tuesday to look forward to though. Tryin' Not To Go To Hell (Here's to you fellas).
Peace Out

Man, been a while, eh? How do ya' like that Cananadanadian feel. Good stuff.
Sitting here for the past five minutes brings to my memory the reason I haven't updated since May 17, 2004......I have nothing to say. No real news. Pretty sad, nothing major has happened in the past year.....Wow, My life has reached an all-time low. I did get a dog, his name is Harvey. He's awesome. This is the first real pet that I've had (one that was all my own). I'll post some pictures when I remember how...for now, Peace Out!
Well, Thanks to Mr. Kirchner I dunn figgured it out...This one was the first weekend I had Harvey...he was so little.
Another from my first weekend with Harvey.
The last weekend I was home (two weeks after the first set of pics). He seems bigger to me, but it could be my imagination.
This one is my favorite...
Harvey's first bath (in the tub)...Hahaha, this one is my second favorite.
Anyway, there he is...Was it as good for you as it was for me?? | | |

Well today has proved to be a rather interesting day. Two exams down...Two to go. At least the hard ones are out of the way. Then I have the summer to look forward to...well, building up my Willys so I can take my girlie for a ride. It's going to be a good time. Anyway, that's that. Back to the books. Peace Out. | | |
