Random Thoughts

Sitting at my table on my new laptop. It’s a Macbook. I choose to refer to it as my new laptop because I’m annoying that way and I refuse to buy into the conspiracy that Apple care about me any more than how much money they can get from my wallet

I don’t want to go to bed.

Life has an odd way of being annoying

Don't forget how easy it is to stray off the path

Not sure about work. The longest I’ve ever consecutively worked in one job has been seven months. I like my current one I think. Lot of challenges and stuff but it’s good.

Relationship with God goes well. Having someone to hold you accountable makes the difference. It’s not a major thing in and of itself. Just knowing the person’s there.

Soccer is something I’m not sure about. I had the worst training session of my life on Thursday. I’ve been praying about being a godly example. It really matters to me that on some level I can break into a team and just get playing games regularly. But rather than praying that I decided to pray that I would be an example even if I don’t get to play another minute all season. I wonder about where our mission field is and what we do. I wonder if I was the best player in the club would I be more of an example.

I’ve realised that I don’t have much of anything thought out with regard to how I should feel about a girl in a romantic relationship. This is proving an issue as I should have something thought about how I should feel. I over think things a lot. Be happy. It’s why I blog.

On one level I’m incredibly, incredibly discouraged. Incredibly confused. Incredibly hurt.

God is good. God is enough.

I’m setting myself up for a lot of heartache in my life. Seems to be a family tradition :-)

People say things they don’t mean to placate you even when you’ve asked them not to :-)

Life has an odd way of being strange

I want to fast forward three months.

I should have just put the money into getting my old car fixed. I’d have been happier.

Cutting the old blog was a necessary, regrettable step. The Law of Unintended Consequences has really come home to roost. I feel I should apologise to those of you who are reading the writings of this guy in their second, third or fourth incarnation. Thanks for sticking with me and please continue to comment :-)

The lyrics from the song embedded below sort of sum up 2009 so far. If you like it check out the artist’s site and buy some stuff.

There will be days you feel like flying
There will be days you feel like crying
Never give up, never stop trying
Never believe my love is dying

    Don’t worry about it. I’m like your own personal detective or something — although you leave behind some easy clues to follow. After four blog changes it would be kind of silly for me to quit reading your thoughts now. ;oP

    “I want to fast forward three months.”

    I want to fast forward to March 8th. ;-)

    “I’m setting myself up for a lot of heartache in my life.”

    You and me both.

    “I’ve realised that I don’t have much of anything thought out with regard to how I should feel about a girl in a romantic relationship.”

    Maybe you shouldn’t think. Maybe you should just feel. :-)
