Things I'm excited for!
My youngest child turns 16 on November 11th. His birthday will be on 11/11/11! How cool is that? I want to do something really special for him. I'm thinking Disneyland, but I don't think that's going to cut it. He's going to want something with six wheels. Four that it rolls on, one in the trunk in case one goes flat, and with a wheel to steer it.
He wants my baby. He wants Chevron. He can keep wanting. But I'm excited for his birthday.
I had a bad start to the week. I still don't know what I'm doing with my life. I had to face some unpleasant things again, but I think I dealt with them fairly well. Prayer works, I can tell you that, and by about 10:00 Wednesday night, I just had this feeling of JOY and peace that I simply cannot explain. It's like the weight of the world was suddenly lifted from my shoulders. Last night, I was contemplating running away from home over the three day weekend I have. Instead, though:
On Saturday, I'm helping do some work at the church. I'm excited to help with whatever they need me to do.
Speaking of church, depending on events, this Sunday or next, I can actually call it mine! I'm joining the church as an official member and I'm very excited about this! It won't be the church I attend, it'll be MY church and I'm very blessed that they're letting me join with them. I'm very excited about this! It's a big deal for me!
I'm excited for the weekend. I'm taking some time off, unless I get bored or get things done and have nothing to do. I can work some overtime if I want, but I don't HAVE to go in this weekend! There are some movies to watch and I have some things to catch up on. I'm excited to do that, too. I might even fire up the weber and cook some steaks on Saturday if I don't go in. My fat little beagle and I might even go for a walk down the Ogden river trail if it's nice on Saturday afternoon.
I'm excited someone left a positive comment on my blog that could help others out besides me. Makes me feel like there's a reason to write the thing.
I'm working on this little workbook my pastor gave me. It's helping me learn a lot. I'm excited to get to the part where it talks about the "crisis of faith" thing. I don't know that I've had one, but I will say that lately I felt like I was in a do-over with my life. I hope I'm making the right choices. Instead of doing what I want to do, though I'm just following the Bible and the rest seems to be taking care of itself. I'm not looking ahead though, just each day's lesson. Actually, I'm a lesson or two behind. Twelve hour days take a toll on your free time. I'll make up the two lessons in the morning over coffee. I may not have had time for the lessons but I still always make time in the morning for the Good Book. Today's random selection was in the book of Esther. No message I could discern, that's just where I turned to this morning.
I ran into an old friend today at work. It was nice to get caught up! I was excited to see him and find out how things were with him! It's one of those things. My boss asked me about him two days ago, and bang, there he is in the hangar.
That's about it for this very early Friday morning. Today, my fellow Civil Servants is payday. Please find something for the people in Japan. The Red Cross is a good place to start, or perhaps your church is taking a special offering?
And if something going on in your life is exciting, please drop me a note or a phone call. I'd really like to hear about it!
God Bless,
Coop
