So I woke up in the morning feeling like p-diddy. The only reason being is that I set my alarm for the same time the he does (6:37). I was trying to get up a little early so I could have a little more time to read and work on my message for Wednesday night. So after waking up to the chorus of "It is Well With My Soul"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwHj7l1M9g4 (which by the way the original version has a really cool back story if you haven't heard it you should check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Is_Well_with_My_Soul) I realized that I was still really tired and snoozed a couple of times and then woke up realizing that it was way later than I had intended so i watched a hillsong united tour video blog then I hopped in the shower. I washed my hair with some Sauve for men and washed my Bod with some Old spice Komodo and then hopped out and got dressed. I then partook in half of a carnation instant breakfast because I ran out of skim milk and they aren't very good with the water milk mixture. I then read for a little then headed to work while listening to the sound track to "TRON the legacy" (I've been really interested in buying a synth and have been doing some musical research to see if it's worth it) I get to work and find that the parking lot situation isn't as bad as I had expected. After some beautiful weather people had finally learned how to park again. I go inside and then starts the pre-work ritual. Take of my jacket, say hi to whomever is in my area, wait to timestamp, timestamp, get my water bottle and head down to the break room, stop and say hi to josh and brandon, fill my bottle with water and ice walk back and potential stop and have a conversation along the way. Then starts the fun. We had our class on the phones for the first part of the day at break I had half of shanita's breakfast burrito and a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted without butter and some plain cream cheese. Then I spent the next few hours answering questions and bouncing my bouncy ball around then it was back home for lunch where I enjoyed a smoothie and "Young the Giant". Then it was back to work where I spent most of the day untill 3:30 answering questions than took them into the class for a debrief. At 4:30 I rolled out of work and drove up to the church. There I played guitar talked new music/worship with Andy and talked to Joey a little about the message on Wednesday. Then I drove to starbucks said hi to my little sister, erin and the rest of the crew there. I headed home ate a couple girlscout cookies and was on my way to coffee shop night at younglife, There I got to see a lot of face's that I hadn't seen in a long time. Made me miss this large part of my life that I haven't been a part of for a while. Parker, Seth, and I played some fun secular tunes and got the chances to watch a lot of kids show off there chops. All of them did such a great job. It was really cool to see how many of them have grown up. After that we jammed to a little MJ and some Dave then I made my way home. Once here I netflixed a show about a guy hitch-hiking across america with his little cousin, ate more girlscout cookies than went on my computer and sat for probably 30 minutes looking for inspiration for this blog, I hope this is sufficient enough to be read by anyone. Now its time for a little more research on synths and more reading of the bible to finish what turned out to be a semi busy monday.
I feel like there are so many days that I don't really appreciate every thing that I've been given. i mean God has put so many things in my life that I just take for granted. A house, a job, a car(even without heat it's till awesome), great friends, a great family, a giant second family that includes tons of brothers, sisters, and mothers and fathers, great role models and positive influences, great learning experiences even though I'm cursed with having to learn the hard way that I have no idea what's best for me. So needless to say I am greatly blessed and I act like I'm in pour shape sometimes. I need to learn to be grateful everyday for what God has given and just give it right back to other and back to him with praise. So for all of you I Hope your day treated you well and hope that you find away to appreciate everything that God has given you.
I thought you may enjoy some Chinglish. I still never really knew what it ment.
Great blog Andy. And we would love to have you and Parker at YL any time. We miss you too.
