Update on my date (pun sorta intended):
It went really well. He's such a gentleman. We had good food, we laughed, we got to see awesome lightning. A second date is being planned. I was all smiles on the way home.
This afternoon and on the drive there, I was so nervous and freaking out a little (okay a lot) and my stomach hurt and I had to take deep breaths, and now afterwards, I'm just like "Wheeeeeeee!!"

I've been doing the same work the last few years and then added a new work that's tough on me, I'm just praying that God shows me where to go next if where I'm at now is in a move-along stage . It seems like it is, or, maybe, not, I think, doing devotions in the morning helps THIS single guy stay on track with God.
I'm looking for more though, I think, I don't know, I'm just thinking. I'm seeming to do that a lot lately.
I appreciate your prayers.
My mom, too, she finds out about if they will continue chemotherapy tomorrow, I'm praying for her, I love my mom, she's great and thankful to God for a wonderful mom and dad, though seperated since i was 16, they've always did their best for me in life.
I appreciate your all prayers for her, too.
I'm just full of requests tonight. Anyone want me to sing them a number

It really bothers me when I see somebody being too hard on themselves for making a mistake. I don't really understand it, because I'm the complete opposite- I am not severe enough on me when I mess up. I might make the same mistake someone else does, and they'll go off on a rampage about how stupid they are to have done it, how awful and horrible and blah blah blah, and I'm sitting over here thinking, "Well, that didn't work right. Huh. Maybe I'll have some coffee."

On 11/22/63, at about 2:10 in the afternoon I was sitting in my grammar school basement "library". It was small room with few books and ridiculously tall shelf tops that no 1st through 8th grader could possibly reach. It was musty, dank and always smelled of paper and mold. The walls were stone and the floor was concrete and during heavy rain water drops would trickle their way down the rocks. My teacher was a beautiful woman. Tall with unbelievably long legs and a skirt always on the social edge of acceptable length. She wore thick and bright red lipstick and black eyeliner complimenting her fierce black eyes and her hair was pinned up with loose strands falling in front of her face. She gathered all her class around and sat in a chair in front of us. I was in front and didn't have to move, just turn my chair around and was probably only a foot or two away from her, closer than I had ever been. Always looking for a teachable moment she said "I have an announcement to make. Our President of the United States has been assassinated, therefore our President is dead".
Being that close, I had never noticed it before, but she had pretty pronounced mustasche above her lip and a varicose vein or two on her legs. There was a tear in her shirt sleeve that was mended with a safety pin.

It grows within me. Blessed by my body to spread and grow even further to another. *coughs* Yes... I can feel it. The dry cough, the funky mucus taste, the pain from heaving. Pretty soon the beast within will use me and if I'm lucky, select another host for it's domination...
You know, this why I need coffee in the mornings.

I don't have any sympathy for people who are frequently bored. I never have, now that I think about it. My friends would call me up when we were oh, ten, twelve or so, and complain that they were "soooo bored!" and I would be like, "Well that sucks. I'm going outside to crash my bike now. You could come crash your bike with me, if you want. Bye!"
As teenagers, my friends and I would be sitting at a park somewhere, trying to decide what kind of trouble to get in. They'd be complaining that they were "soooo bored, why aren't we doing something? What should we do?" And I would be like..."Right, there's some traffic cones down such-and-such street, and there's a cowboy statue in front of the museum, I think we can cook up something."
It just grates on my nerves when people can't think of their own activities/entertainment. God gave us a big, big world. Work in it. Play in it. Enjoy it.
But maybe skip out on vandalizing statues.

Starting to feel a little bit better. This morning, though, was pretty bad. I couldn't speak, I could barely breathe from my mouth or my nose. It looked like whatever I got was getting worse. Dad looked at my throat and was really concerned. It was amazingly painful to swallow, even more painful than yesterday. So my mom got a cup of water, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes till it was boiling and then put some essential oils in it. It took a good hour of me breathing it in (with a towel covering the cup and my face so it wouldn't go anywhere else), and for the first minute or so my nostrils and throat burned. But, the end result is, it doesn't hurt to swallow and I can breathe out of my nose (though it's still runny). My voice is still very scratchy. But this is progress. Whew.

A girl once said to me: Don't be so hard on yourself.
It's one of the best things I've ever heard.
Does God want us to be in a state of critical thought against ourselves, which, undoubtably weighs us down? Of course not, He even says in Scripture to come to Him with our burdens, put them on His shoulders. Through faith, we do this, we will see the results of letting God carry things for us. I like this song, I should put it in the music place probably but it's going here because I'm talking about it here . The Lord leads

Looking at the materials currently available to me from my classes. Yep, this is going to hurt. But I'm excited to jump into it.
Also, weird random thought from me. I'm starting my senior year of college. In another year I should be graduating. You know, I don't plan on being single forever. I wonder if maybe now would be a good time to try and get a little more serious about courting the opposite gender. Obviously, things will only go as God permits. But at the same time, I think it'd be foolish to remain an uninteresting, somewhat slobby person. I can do better. My future wife, and indeed anyone I might end up dating, deserves better.

What a day! Emotional stupidness. I called my mom crying because all these bills and car issues are adding up. I am trying. I am trying to make things good again. I'm frustrated cus I am not getting anywhere. I can't afford my input sensor to be replace until 2 weeks from now. And it's getting worse, I can tell.
So to be on the safe side, I have to take the bus. While I usually don't mind. I would have to get up a 6am to be there by 8am. That means no insomnia, no anxiety cycle of the fear of lack of sleep. Can I do this? Since I have been diagnosed with epilepsy and found out my trigger is lack of sleep, I've been avoiding early morning shifts.
Ugh. This will be a rough 2 weeks.

I've bought some expensive items for a bit too much a bid, perhaps, there's a reason why I got them and everything will turn out OK regardless of price got IF I can just keep working my days and toiling for His getting of all the glory. IN business, TOUGH to do, but, being in Him, well, that makes it easy. That's for us to do, to follow, to get behind, and, just go forth forward in our days with faith as He leads us. Then, we see Him The Lord leads. "...you follow Me." John 21:22
---------------------------------------------------------
With Him, arwenbaggins, 'rough' is still tough, sometimes, but, by giving things to Him, He tugs you along, delicately, moving you like an egg, not cracking you, just pulling you by His yoke. Faith, milady, it takes faith to see that nothing but Him stands a chance against us. Nothing. It will try to get us and it's out there and we will flub up but His arms will be there for us to run into whenever we give up and give Him all our alarms
