Month: January 2005

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhh…

    Balance is good.

    I think I told you all that 2005 was going to be “The Year of Balance” for me-and it has been delightful! Not only am I making incredible changes in my life, these changes are making me a more well-roiunded person. I have more energy, I’m spending more quality time with my family, I’m working more effeciently, I’m happier…it’s incredible! Thank you Lord for the year of balance!

    Since this is the YOB, you may see me a bit more infrequently–just depending on what the circumstances of the morning are. If time escapes me, or if something else comes up and I don’t have time to write a little about my thoughts, you’ll know that I am simply achieving balance…however, I will maintain this as a high priority, so my entries won’t become too sparce.

    I read Psalm 12 today, and it is nice. However, Psalm 11 had a cool thing in it…
    “For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice, upright men will see His face.”

    In this time and culture, being able to see the face of the King meant having access to His throne. Whether as a servant of the King, or as someone paying their respects to the King, it meant you had access to the throneroom, and the ability to come and bow down before the King. How cool!
    Today we know we have access to the presence of God anytime (after Jesus died on the cross, the curtain was supernaturally ripped in the temple, giving anyone the ability to enter the holy-of-holies–not just the High Priests). Not just the righteous men can come before the King, we all can, at any time we wish.

  • Wow-I guess it has almost been a week…oops!

    I will praise you O Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonders,
    I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing praise to your name,
    O Most High.

    Today I have to finish a 2004 self-evaluation for my job…these things are always difficult because if I feel like I did a good job, I feel bad saying it ’cause then it sounds like bragging…on the other hand, I don’t want to sell myself short to someone who doesn’t see most of what I do anyways…yikes! Oh well…help me Lord!

    Thank you Lord for some resolution to a few miscommunications lately…

    2005 is the year of balance (btw)
    I am choosing this year to get my whole entire life in balance. Health, family, work, schooling…etc…there is no reason why I shouldn’t, and I just need that much of an excuse. In addition, 2005 happens to be half-way between 2000, and 2010…dude! It’s the center of the decade! The year of balance! Pray for me as I sacrifice some things (like probably some TV, and such) to stay balanced in my life. Body, soul, spirit, mind…be balanced for the Lord!!!

    Nathaniel got stiches out on Thursday-what a champ! He’s doing well…
