3 When I was a boy in my father’s house, still tender, and an only child of my mother,

post vegas trip
So after a long weekend vacay with the fam bam, I’m pretty content with my birthday celebration. I think after my 20th birthday at chuck e. cheese, I was pretty content in skipping the birthday celebration stuff.
Of course this trip had its up and downs and learning how to please everyone in the group, but overall a success. I think the reason why I do not like celebrating my own birthday,...
day 2 - little things
Proverb 2
1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
3 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

day 2 theme for 2010
So today, I’ve decided to wear pantyhose because it was colder than the usual sunny California morning. It feels different. I feel like I’m in another set of skin.

“You’re a fizzler” - Jen Chey (Mentor and friend)
I am what my mentor calls a fizzler. I get so excited for one thing and die it out at the end. I mean look at my journal entries about finding a different job and looking into real estate. Like seriously, I haven’t touched that subject for a long time. This is unfortunately the pattern of my spiritual walk with God. The...
free for all thoughts
I need to buck up and tie my shoes tight and get over my bored, loneliness feeling. I think what I really need is a time of solitude to spend with God and loved ones.
I do miss people, like the one I posted below, but I guess what I really mean is, I miss being a busy body meeting 20 different people. If I was to ever go back to that life, then I would probably get bored and ask for more resting...

“In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free. The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”- Psalm 118:5-6
I have a lot of bitterness I need to resolve and give up. I’m having an off day and I don’t know how to get things back to my jolly self.
I miss people.
