"K"ickin it old school

i love roadtrips for many reasons...but one in particular is that I usually pull out old CD's and jam. Singing at the top of my lungs. what's even better is when I have my friends in the car with me singing right along with me. this weekend at RTD we got stuck in the mass amounts of cars exiting (thousands to be exact...) so we had an hour to just SIT & well...rock out. We were listening to "I'll Be", Moulin Rouge, "I'm going down", "Meet me at the Crossroads", "When you say nothing at all"....we definitely entertained people around us.

tomorrow I start meetings with the staff team. man alive i'm excited. Lori did end up getting 100% the next day (previous post)...so we have been able to relax & enjoy friends. We had a staff pool party this past thursday which was a lot of fun. I definitely love my team & think we will blend well together! I am ready for all the planning/discussing/decisions etc that will be made these next couple of weeks.

money has been stressing me out lately. i don't understand why I let it. The Lord has clearly provided for me up until this point. Why I have this fear that suddenly He will stop I'm not quite sure. Lack of faith...disbelief creeping in...devil speaking lies into my life. I wanted to put this here...so that I can look back in a month & see how there was no need for me to worry...because I know the Lord will provide...at least I believe it for this split second.

I start work tomorrow. Kim comes back Thursday! Our new roommate Kristin comes on Saturday! I help move in Freshman to the dorms Sunday! Teddy's Birthday is the next Monday! Cotter comes back the next Wednesday! Mary comes back in 2 weeks....all these events will make these next two weeks FLY. i can't wait. i'm so excited.

i have used the word excited a lot in the post. i'm just excited about life right now. everything about. i'm learning so much right now. being challenged. growing. I never want to quit learning about myself and God.

today at church the Pastor challenged us to think about what our one prize possession is. would we be willing to sacrifice that one possession to Christ. majority of us would probably say no behind closed doors. the idea of giving up a child, spouse, parent, friend...into the hands of Christ is scary...but not. for me its a control issue...a little mix of not trusting the Lord has my best interest in mind. anyways...think about it....what is your most prized possession? Are you willing to give it up? we won't experience complete Joy until we do this....I want joy to it's fullest...
