1 day and 37 visits later

So if you didn't notice I just installed that counter map thing. I checked it today and in the last 24 hours 37 people have read my blog. That makes me want to post more. It also freaks me out a bit. Who are all these people? Who are you, blog reader?


In other news, tommorow I leave for better weather and a good time of learning and fellowship. I can't wait! Although I will miss home (and a certain someone in particular- don't barf please!).

I think I need some space

From life that is. Life has been too busy... Main Event, campus, Staff trip to CA, catch up with what was missed, thankgiving, 2 weeks, end of school semester. Where does the time go? I wonder if I will ask that for the rest of my life.

Anyways, have you ever just wanted to say to life- responsibilities,work, friends,family, thoughts, my house chores etc that you just need to take a break. Things just aren't working out. I need some space. Tonight I want to say that. It has been a long week.

I think me the over-extended hyper extrovert is finally needing some alone time or some down time. I am unsure which. Don't worry about me though. I don't think this problem is something a little sleep and rest can't fix.

comments

So the last post was an interesting blog not to get any comments on. Not upset, just thought I would point out the irony!

Just for the record, lately I have been really missing chilling with all my college friends (who most of the people that read this blog probably are) and I have especially missed the card parties we had at my house last year. Oh, and I leave for California for staff training (I KNOW-EXCITING!) on Wednesday of next week. I will be gone for a whole week!

Real friends

I am glad I have real friends. Real people who read this blog and pray and care and call. I love you guys!

Spiritual warfare

So tonight I had a very interesting hour. I think you could safely say that I was being attacked by the enemy/ my flesh. It was so interesting. I wish I could post more details of what happened but I think this is probably a little too public to do that well.

Suffice to say, I wonder how many times in my life I have not given as much credit to the spiritual realm as I should have. Tonight it would have been easy to blame my frustrations/insecurities etc on people and circumstances but I really think the enemy and his lies and schemes were behind it all. Crazy thoughts kids.

"...be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might...For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forced of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (Eph 6: 10, 12,13)

facebook junkie

So I am still a facebook junkie. I have decided I need to get myself some self-control and stop checking facebook obsessively.

Ugggggg......... It has been a long week but a good one! In fact, it is getting ready to get better. Phil and I are going to Manhattan together this weekend!

I love Manhattan and I like spending time with Phil. As a matter of fact, I can scarcely think of a better combo!

Facebook

So my life is being sucked away... moment by moment... detail by detail. Facebook is a HUGE time sucker but I enjoy it. Most of the time! The only problem with it is that it allows me to never stop "working." It is always possible to do ministry or be setting up things with students and caring about them. And sometimes you just need a break and you need to stop and think about your own life and walk with God instead of someone else's.


There ya go. I have a love hate relationship with facebook. Already!
