I haven’t written in a long time....as I said, I am bad at
this! A few updates on how my challenges
have been going.
Last month, my challenge was to be content with what I
have. I never wrote about it but we had
a sermon on what we can take with us. Our
pastors have said this on multiple occasions but it is always a great
reminder....”Our value comes from whose we are, not what we have.” Another point that was brought up was that we
are to act like the manager, not the owner.
We are responsible for our lives but our lives are not our own if we are
a follower of Christ.
The sermon ended with a video of a family who lost their
house in the fire. It took all I had not
to cry! The husband thought he had lost
both of his children because the fire came right up to the school. When trying to get to his son, the heat of
the fire burnt the hair off of his back.
Luckily he and his family were ok but their house did burn down. The church was so supportive that they had to
ask people to stop giving them gift cards.
How amazing God was in that situation!
This month, my challenge is to keep in touch with
friends. I am NOT the best with keeping
in touch with people but I have so many friends outside of the state and
country that I miss to death and I have no clue what is going on in their
lives. I haven’t had much success but I
have definitely tried! If you don’t hear
from me during this month, don’t worry, I am trying to reach out to all of
you!
As far as the non-dating/dating scene goes...well not much to
report there.
As for learning Vietnamese...hasn’t been going well
either. I might have incentive though
because one of my best friends, Duy, is getting married in December. If he plans to get married in late December,
when I have my winter break, I might just be able to go!
Oh...running is going well though! Kind of...but I am doing a cowboy run this
weekend with one of my coworkers. I even
get a free cowboy hat!
