3 weeks past due..........
Thursday, June 26, 2008
I am not a fan of people that don't keep up with there blogs and now I stand before you humbled as I have become one of those people. I have been meaning to blog for the past three weeks I promise, I have had so many different ideas, but just haven't found the time for it. In typical RJ fashion this blog is going to touch on a lot of points and be a collection of scattered thoughts. So here's the update for all of you that care:
In the past 3 weeks a lot has happened, the biggest of them being me moving. About 2 weeks ago I moved in with some friends Paul and Jerry. I have been in sort of a "pinch" and this move has been the light at the end of the tunnel that I have been needing to see for a long time. Besides the fact I will be saving quite a bit of money each month I really feel like this move has and will continue to give me so much more. On the surface everything is great, the house is awesome, we have a pool, a very cool dog Bailey, and it's in a great location. Digging a little beneath the surface I feel like I am getting so much more from moving in the house. The past couple of months have been hectic and as a result I have kind of put God on the back burner. A couple of days ago I remembered something Brad has said, "Which is bigger your god or your problems?". Just saying it in my head was something I needed to hear because it kind of made me re-evaluate my situation and switch gears. Paul has been growing in his relationship with Christ for awhile and has such passion about, that I feel I will really be able to benefit from living with him. He has already started to help and I am excited to put my focus back on God and watch my life get better as a result of putting my faith in Christ rather than my problems. Also just having roommates again I know will have a positive affect on me. Already I am benefiting from living with genuine people.
It seems like most of my time has been going to work this month. Like most people I have been pushing hard this month to try and get myself out of this whole I have been digging since the beginning of the year. July is shaping up to be my best month ever. Going to be trying a couple different marketing strategies and am anxious to see how well they work.
I did get to see my pal Alison for a couple hours this month too and that was really cool.
I'm still in the process of getting settled and feel that I will be soon. July is shaping up to be an unbelievable month on many different levels. I really feel like July will be life changing and I am ready to meet it head on and go with the flow.
On the 3rd I get to head down to Mexico with a cool group of people to build a house for a family. I'm still digesting the fact that I get to go help a family that doesn't have much and give them a gift that impacts their life almost more than anything. I feel very lucky and privileged to be able to do this. It will be great to see how God moves in all of us while we are down there. I really hope, and don't really have a doubt, that I will take so much away from this trip.
I have so many things I have been thinking about and like I said at the beginning of this blog I wrote I have been meaning to blog for the past three weeks, so I will be making it a priority to blog at least once a week on what I have going on in this crazy head of mine.
We live a privileged life and I am so thankful for all my friends and the wonderful people I know that have been there for me and helped me in so many ways. The world is a drought when out of love and I believe this world has been suffering a drought for far too long. What can we do to change this, more importantly what can I do to change this?
