hey all- it's definately been a good while since i've been here. i have a good reason, i promise. as most of you know i got a apple powerbook laptop for christmas. with it i got wireless internet. to make a long story short.. i put a filter thing on it and it blocks xanga. so.. sorry i haven't updated. i may pull a wacaster and update only once a month.. haha.

so my life... well, it's been good. challenging, but good nonetheless. i am learning contentment in singleness. to quote one of my favorite pastors, rick holland, "a discontent single makes a discontent spouse".. and that's something i need to work on- finding contentment in christ alone. so yeah.. i'm working on that.

today i rode my bike for the first time in like 6 years. i think i rode about 5 or so miles. i may make this a regular thing.. i'd like to, but it's just finding the time to. it was so peaceful though, riding on a trail in crockett park listening to sermons on my ipod. i've come to realize how distracted and caught up in todays world i can get. from tv to the computer and internet to music.. it's good sometimes just to get away from it all and focus on god. i'd like to sometime take a camping trip by myself with nothing more than my bible. no phone, no music... bah, who am i kidding. i'm really good at saying all this stuff but rarely get around to actually doing it. but we shall see..

i am no longer working at cold stone. about 2 weeks ago i worked my last day.. pulled my last portion of ice cream. sad, isn't it? well, not really... i am now at lifeway christian bookstore. it's the exact polar opposite of cold stone. not only the fact that it's retail, but the environment is complete different. it's so weird to be working with fellow brothers and sisters in christ.. those who have my best interest and what will glorify god in mind. and i am one of the youngest employees there. also, coming from a place where i was a manager and going to somewhere where i'm the newb. it's taking a while to get used to. i think it'll get better though. i'm looking forward to the friendships and relationships that will blossom there.

well, that's my life in a nutshell. sorry it's so long. oh well...
