encouraged

I am encouraged. Just.... in general, I am encouraged.

Trueface came and picked me up yesterday afternoon after she got off work. We then went to the Y and I walked for 30 minutes. We went back to her house and ate some pizza and stuff and then went to benetti's (where I posted yesterdays blog) and went to bed. This morning we went to Focus.....which I really didn't get much out of because it was just the missionary from Taiwan begging and pleading us to become missionaries over there. I did take the time however to go through my phone and delete several people, and mark the ones that might contact me as "Do Not Answer" in my phonebook. small steps, small steps. Big church was great though, we are going through Psalm 119, and Pastor challenged us to take a look at our lives and figure out exactly what we want. He then went into detail about the characteristics of blessed people, and challenged us to figure out what is keeping us from getting there. I want to go back and take a look at the notes again but it was a good sermon! After church we went back to katy's and watched the chief's game and ate subway........the plays themselves of the game were good but the chiefs sucked and lost, kicking them out of the playoffs. ummmm yeah i have some angry friends. then katy drove me to the Y where she had a meeting; i walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, drove home and played with Fly for a while, drove back and picked her up, had a chat with her about her love life, went home and ate, watched a lifetime movie, cleaned the kitchen and did all the dishes, and then went to the laundromat and did my laundry. Of course when i came home my laundry detergent fell off my laundry basket and the cap shattered down the stairs, so now i have a HUGE puddle of detergent in the middle of the floor. I'm praying I don't come home to a dead kitten tomorrow because he eats E V E R Y T H I N G. *sigh* so i tried to clean that up, I cleaned my bathroom, put my laundry away, cleaned some other stuff up, gave myself a facial, etc. etc. and now i am ready for bed! we're supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. hooray.

I didn't eat well at all today, but I did at least get on the treadmill for 3o minutes. 1 step at a time right? :/

hmmm prayer requests. for myself, i am praying for patience in the relationship department. as much as i feel like a certain someone could be the one, i need to pray for patience and that God's will be done in His timing, not mine. i need to pray for focus at work and that i will learn this new job quickly and fully. i am praying for a sense of urgency with my purity issue, and am thankful that I have decided to make that a priority finally. I am praying for my financial situation, but am also praising for my new job! i am also so incredibly thankful for my family, they have been there for me moreso in the past few months than i think they ever have and i am so thankful for them. prayer requests for others - for katy as she is dealing with her own struggles with relationships and purity; that i can be an example for her and for wisdom as her friend to offer my advice to her. for krystal as she is going through her divorce and struggling with her son being sick and now being fired.....praying that somehow she might turn to God in this and that if the opportunity arises I will be ready to share my faith with her, weak as I feel it is. that Curnutt and her boyfriend would come to know Christ.....that I can somehow show them the change I am trying to make in my own life. for stephen as he continues to seek the Lord in his own life and as he is feeling lonely in AK I pray that he will find comfort and friendship in God. for becky and mason that they would start seeking Christ in their lives and stop living the life theyve been living for so long. stave included in that too. for robbie that he would start seeking Christ as well, and that D as much as I absolutely cannot stand him would still be an example for him. for beth and joe and their ridiculous lives.......that they would turn to God instead of themselves to try and raise their 4 kids. I feel like there is so much more but I need to get to sleep or I will be dead for work tomorrow!
