So, I'm ashamed. Downright ashamed of my lack of writing for the past few weeks...er... months? Goodness. It's an odd time for me to write, given it's a Sunday, but oh well. Perhaps I'm overly ambitious, but I'd like to visit the blog world more often. It's a beautiful Sunday, so why not start today? Sitting here, typing on my computer, I can hear the chimes singing outside. The wind is rushing through the vibrant branches outside my window, and making them dance with delight. Glorious weather, if you ask me...

Church was amazing today... as always. Pastor Jim finished Ephesians with a commission to put on our armor, faithfully finish the race that has been set before us, and to model our lives and hearts after the sinful, yet repentant David. It left me wondering what the cry of my heart really is, aside from lies and facades. I would love to say that my deepest thoughts and most heartfelt longings are centered around the gospel of Christ... but, that's simply not the case. The "affairs of everyday life" steal my attention, and leave me restless, and tired. What do I have left to give the Father when my time and energy is expended on things that are useless in light of the Kingdom? It's easy to write say all of this without changing a thing, but because of the grace of my Lord, I pray that He would not allow me to remain stagnant, but instead, will poke and prod me until I'm forced to change. Jesus, I want my heart to be connected with Yours. Rearrange my thoughts and desires...

Well, I have to get acclimated to writing more often on here... but for now, it's time for the Sunday nap.

Just a note before I leave... a class was canceled for fall quarter, and in turn, I will have to attend school another quarter beyond what was expected. I was pretty irritated, to say the least. Well, that was my only class on Friday, and it was scheduled in the morning. After it was canceled, I began to make plans to fill up all of the free Fridays that I'll have in the next few months, but just as I thought my plans were "set in stone", the Lord changed things up a bit. There was an announcement at church today about extra needed help out at the stables on Friday mornings. I guess the saying "If you want God to laugh, tell Him your plans" stands true...
