Yeah, this probably could have been one post...
but I didn't think to include this in the other one, so what of it? If you know me, you know that I'm a naturally curious gent. With that in mind, does anyone actually read this? That's not really the point of why I write any of this (I write this because I had to sign up for an account to post a comment on Joe's blog and figured if I had the account why not start a blog and use it for mental vomit), but I am curious if anyone is actually reading any of this. Like I said, no biggie, just curious. If you do read any of this, feel free to leave comments so I know it's not just me and the tumbleweed in here. If it is, then the tumbleweed and I will have a raucous good party without you...so there.
P.S. This officially marks the first time I've made more than one post in a day (uh! double up! uh, uh!).

Well that's just a boot full of truth to the backside.
Tonight I had another one of those "God slapping me in the head to get my attention" kind of evenings. I was being a whiny bitch in my last post and realize that now. I was reminded tonight how I'm on the path that God wants my life to be on (no matter how much different than it might be from what I'd prefer). I had time to think at the gym of all places while I was working out about how some decisions (or nondecisions) seem pretty insignificant at the time, but when you look back on how your life has played out since said decisions you realize things would be very different if you had chosen the other option. Usually not for the better. I guess this is my long-winded way of saying that what's really important is that I keep seeking God's will for my life and following it...not trying to do what I think I should be doing. Reading the chapter tonight in "Elvis Likes Jazz" for our small group tomorrow night drove that point home with a vengeance. Coincidence? There are no coincidences.

When's My Turn?
I know it's not the healthiest thing, but I've sure been feeling that way for a while now. I don't want to be like this, but I can't seem to shake it. Am I really that self-absorbed? Is there something to that feeling? I don't know. I thought I got rid of the "someone pushed the pause button on my life" feeling a couple years ago, but it seems to be back. Am I really that slow to learn, or is this something else? Does this even make any sense?
