Holidays! 4 days till christmas...

Man!

I can't believe its almost Christmas! Man, I'm excited! So I thought I had all my shopping all done 2 weeks ago, but turns out that I didn't. Infact, I completely forgot about my cousins, all of them. Yeah not cool.

Lately, I've been thinking and just mediating on some scripture. I've been trying to memorize the book of Psalms. Not working too well so far, haha, but i do remember bits and piecies. Anyways, today I was just thinking about David and his psalms, his heart for God and I guess his character in general. Yeah, it was one of those days... I just sat on the toliet and just kept thinking... You know, I guess since graduation I've learn some things. I remember that I so didn't want to go to the working world. I wanted to stay in school and maintain my friendships and fellowship with crusade, classmates and friends. It was hard adjusting from a fast-pace life (from weekly assignments, exams and other weekly commitments) to a very slow down pace of the working life (lots and lots of quiet time). I guess when things slow down, you get alot of alone time. And yeah I do get lonely sometimes. I want to be in the presence of friends, want to fellowship with people, want to "tell the world that Jesus lives". Since school is over, its been hard to do these things. But yeah, i guess its about moving on to the next step in life. And yeah, God has maintained a group of great guys that I've kept accountable with and brought new people into my life. God is good!

Lately, I've been reflecting through the pages of my journal and past entries of this blog. You know, despite the loss of that community, I wouldn't trade this period of alone time for anything in the world. Man, I think I've learned more about myself and God in these past few months than I have last year (note: this may be highly exaggrated). I've been relearning old things and yeah, when I crack open the bible, I feel like a kid in a candy store. I'm like, "God, what are you gonna show me today?" and man... haha... it just gets exciting! All in all, its so simple and yes we've all heard it, understood it and can only be summed up in one way. "Be still and Know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). Its like understanding it for the first time again! woot! woot! hahaha...
Ok, I think my coworkers are getting creeped out by my giggling and laughing.
Ok, looks like lunch is over too. Crap... anyways:

Merry Christmas All! Really! I ask God for a increase of His Peace and Joy upon all of your lives!

Blessings!

December! 25 days till Christmas!

Man, its so cold outside. We were definitely spoiled last week.
I think i'm getting sick, all day yesterday i was sneezing and producing my own version of "wontons".

Anyways, on another note, its finally december! Yeah, i'm so looking forward to the holidays, I think i get like 14 days off. Haha...not bad, not bad at all. I'm trying to think of some gifts for some gals. Dang, its so hard to shop for women. I mean i understand that they want something thoughtful and creative and nothing too generic. But in all honestly, its so hard to think of insightful gifts without giving them the wrong impression. Does anyone have any suggestions?
