I have just begun leading a class called First Place and I'm really excited about what God is going to do. After this first week, I can already tell that this is going to be a big push for me to be consistent in my own physical/spiritual/mental/emotional health. I feel like I've been slack in a few areas this week, but remain strong in God's grace to cover my weaknesses. My life verse is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10...
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

On another news, as it begins to get busy at work again, I find myself once again struggling with contenment in my current situation. But I pray above my own doubts, impatience, or struggles - I pray for God to use me for His will... He is faithful, and His purpose is greater than what I will ever know or understand. He has me where I'm at... in this exact time and exact place, for a purpose.

I love my work, you know, the actual productive work... it's the non-productive work that i think realy wears me down. Virus-infected computers, spam mail, crashing software, ringing phones... all the things that keep me from being productive... not to mention my own distractions which would be hinderance enough without all the others.... I hate not being productive, especially because I feel like it hinders me from doing God's work...

Keith got major brownie points... found us a Wii Fit at Wal-mart this weekend. We've had lots of fun so far, and it's great knowing your burning calories at the same time! I managed to break 300 on the hula hoop!
