  • …just a thought…


    about timing… the right things come when the time is right.
    speaking of… I think many “single” people “think” that the time is “now!”, when in fact, we’re really “asking” subconsciously, “Why not now?”


    in remembrance… as with many things, certain events take place when your “ducks are in a row”.  Seemingly, when things should work out, when it’s not your time, it’s just not your time [Get over it ].  I’ve had one “girlfriend” my whole life [and she was supposed to be the one... I had waited 25 years to meet her].  I don’t date and don’t plan on “dating”, but then, how would I meet the right person?  Well, that’s what “true” friends are for, right?  j/k  It’s in His hands, but when He says “Go for it!”, you’d better.


    I would often think back as to why I broke up with her… because I analyze things…


    A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions–as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900),
     
    and because I missed her a while afterwards.  Obviously, it wasn’t my time.  I wasn’t ready.  So, a decision was made [because we arrived at the point of moving to the next level or calling it quits - it wouldn't have been right to make her wait for me to finish my morph].
    I don’t regret it. 
    I’m in a good place.


    The “GOOD NEWS” is that she’s getting married next year, “Finally” she says.    Good for her… and good for me, too

    No doubt that most of us will continue to change throughout our lives [hopefully, growing to be more Christ-like], and there are multiple ”destinations” reached, at which certain characteristics solidify upon reaching it.  ”Defining moments” we call them, influencing our preferences and decision making processes; our psyche.  We’ll continue to grow on this foundation, only to be changed by the miraculous healing touch of our Lord and Savior as He sees fit.  I’m stronger now… and weaker, too… and the weaker I get, the stronger “He” becomes in me… so I’m stronger. 

    I’ll be turning 30 in a couple of weeks… and for some reason, I always felt that “things” would start happening as I approached that age.  Even as a freshman @ the University of Washington in 1994 [EEK!], realizing that my love for sciences|medicine was a terrible deception, I knew that my “soul searching” would conclude sometime in the future, approaching the tender age of 30.    I’m not a prophet per se… but I just knew… [foreshadow]

    A flurry of events transpired this past year and it was more than I could ever expect from His bounty.  ..but a question still remains… “Why not now?”
    He’s putting that question to rest, too, as with many things… I’ve learned to wait patiently for His unveiling [whereas I'd take off on my own before and just make a mess of things - then the clean up effort was a phenomenon in itself, but I guess it gave God more opportunity to demonstrate His power  Please, let me live in my skewed rationale ].


    Ha ha ha… I can’t help but laugh at myself… my folly… my silliness…  
    …I get so serious and critical sometimes.
    “Dude, just calm down!” is what I’d like to yell in the mirror…
    …so I do sometimes
    It’s therapeutic.


    Hmmmmm…… I don’t really have a point.  As the initial words conveyed….
    …just a thought.


    God is good!

    You mean “GEEK” isn’t the only word?



    I’m still working on my entry about the XBOX 360 fiasco… but let me just say that those movies about people going crazy for a “toy” during Christmas is not too far fetched.  In fact, I experienced it first hand and it’s not pretty. 


  • Beat this score and Starbucks is on ME!!! MU HA HA HA!

    So, did I mention that I have an addictive tendency?  Mary Jang scored a 593.5 and so, I began a quest to conquer that score, only to tie it. 



    Try and beat the score… and send me proof.

  • People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
      – George Bernard Shaw


    “People” also included me for many years… and then one day it dawned on me, that I have choices, even in the most hopeless situations; abandoning the idea of the “victim of circumstance” allowed me to grow in areas that had remained juvenile for so many years… so, I’m growing in ways that are new and exciting, witnessing the wonders of His handiwork.


    Lord, it is only by grace…only by grace, that we are able to change and grow.
    Being able to see the changes occur before our very eyes is a miracle…
    …and an incredible blessing|testimony.


    Being salt…being light… is simpler and less burdensome than we perceive.  Light and salt, in itself, conducts very little “action”, but in its state of “being” light and “being” salt, they affect the environment around them… and in this way, we are “witnesses” to this world as well.


    Why would Almighty God choose to use us?  Insignificant me…
    Amazing…

    God is good!
