In the eternal words of the programmer: Hello World.
This is another season of life; one where I hope to make myself more consistent with everyday tasks; one where Sammey is now in Cali, and although we still talk every day.
Here’s the thing though, she’s three hours behind me. I wake up at 9am, she’s still sleeping at 6am. This becomes important for me, because all the while she was here, with me, a majority of my life priorities, I went ahead and put on hiatus. Perhaps it wasn’t my wisest decision, but it was for Sam. It was for the love of my life, that I would suspend a few months of intensive work, a few months of college-like socializing, so I could revile in every moment we had before she left. Trouble was, her “few months” just kept going. Rather than leaving in Sept ’09, it was pushed back to Dec ’09… and then spring ’10, Finally it became June ’10… but since she wasn’t starting school for a year, we worked things out so she could stay in Michigan for a few more months. Her flight finally took her Sept 8th 2010.
Today’s Monday, Sept 13th and I’m finally starting to get my lists in order, starting to wrap my head around my goals, my objectives; which is simply: earn $6000 and find work in Cali before I move out. Whether it’s at the base of Sammey’s parents’ mountain, or in San Francisco where she’ll be going to school in the relatively near future… we’ve yet to decide.
As part of my new daily rituals, on top of my daily scripture reading, I’ll be “commenting” on the scripture of the day. I’ll also be writing for 15-20 minutes, get my thoughts out on this beautiful white-space, and see if I can’t sort my heart, mind, and soul out, eh?
In today’s reading I couldn’t help but feel with Babylon being dissed, that the United States is going in a similar direction. It seemed to echo a similar tone in my gut (which could be entirely wrong, I pray it to be so). Although it feels like that end-times vibe that seems to permeate the very air we breathe now. As if the entire host of heaven is waiting for the end to come. I have my own theories as to when the end will actually come about, but I guarantee you it’s coming faster than we expect.
The other portion of scripture reflected on Paul’s final words to the Corinthians: 5 Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. Was the verse that echoed for me this morning. By echoed, I mean, as I was reading, my eyes and heart did a little double-take, and I had to read it over and over to try and grasp more of it.
On top of writing more, I plan to read and comment on other WordPress entries.
I’m reaching the end of my twenty minutes, I have alot more day to go out and conquer.
You’ll hear from me again, soon
