This Is Who I am: June 2007

Did I mention I was busy? Well I have been! Over the last 3 weeks I’ve done little besides work and sleep. I managed to finish two huge projects, one requiring most of the work after hours, survived an audit, filling in for out of town coworkers and the stomach flu. Boy am I glad June is almost over!

I suppose I shouldn’t complain about work because in a way I did ask for it. Well, sort of. I was causally praying and said “God, I really need to pay off my laptop. Do you think you could help me out with that?” I of course was thinking more along the lines of Uncle Tim wining the power ball and sending me a nice fat check but no. God made me work for it. Sheesh!! I guess I should be more specific next time in the direction of my prayer ;o)

Even though I’m exhausted and an unexpected 6 lbs lighter (due to the bout with the stomach flu) I am doing well. I was able to go visit my good friends in Stockton last night for the first time in quite a while. I heard several of them say “We saw you more when you lived in Denver.” Which made me feel quite guilty. Hopefully I’ll be able to balance my time a little bit better now that the worst is over at work.

This weekend looks to be relaxing. We have our youth bible study tonight at one of our family’s homes. We’re doing a camp out in the backyard. Can you believe that most of these kids have NEVER been camping? City folk?! I’m tellin’ ya! My job tonight is to teach them the ever important skill of s’more making. Hopefully they will retain this highly important part of childhood development and pass it along to other deprived children living in the Sacramento area. Saturday I have a date with Janelle to do nothing. It’ll probably consist of lying around and reading magazines while her children run wild. Either that or I’ll get roped in to helping her pack (they are moving into their new apartment in a week or so). Either way I’m not working and that’s the most important thing!
