Listening to Falling Up

The weather today was rather interesting. I got up at about 6:15am and it was super warm and windy outside. The sky was full of dark clouds, and it rained sporadically throughout the day. I guess there were tornado warnings all over the place.

Anyway, after showering I went outside in shorts and a t-shirt and just spent some time praying, reading Romans 6 and watching the squirrels. I realized as I watched that the squirrels actually eat the seeds that are inside those little “helicopter” things that fall off of the trees in front of the school. It was nice and relaxing out there.

I have been told that I am a rather patient person, and as I was praying I remembered that I had prayed for patience as a kid. I wondered why I hadn’t prayed for anything like that recently. I decided that I’m going to start praying that the Lord will help me learn more discretion.

After that I spent a portion of my day watching ESPN baseball and basketball. That was neat, but I couldn’t help but feel like I was completely wasting time.

I decided to go play frisbee-golf by myself, and did really well until the last 2 holes. I ended up at 4 over par. (boo!)

I then went back inside and edited my prayer card and the video I made for partnership development. My sights aren't settled on Cambodia, so it seems just fair for my prayer card and video to accurately reflect where the Lord has me now, which is here.

In addition to all this, I also practiced music for Sunday.

Today was also the day that Nate Gilley flew out for Idaho, so I drove him to the airport in Milwaukee. It worked out just well for both of us because I wasn’t scheduled to work until 5pm, and his flight to Chicago had unknowingly been moved from 6 something pm to like 4 something pm, and I got him there at about 3:45pm!

The only problem is that his flight from Chicago to wherever was delayed until 11am TOMORROW. Ugh, Disgusting!!!! Poor Gilley!!!

It’s neat though, he left his Jeep for me to use while he is gone! What a guy!

Anyway, work from 5-7pm was fine, and I spent the rest of the evening with Sonja at the Richards with the boys, and then she and Mark and I went stargazing out behind the quarry. Sonja saw her first ever shooting star and I saw my first ever firefly!!! Hooray!!!

Also, there were multiple miscommunications. I am supposed to have both music practice AND dinner at the Harpers after work tomorrow. However, I just saw tomorrow’s schedule, and I don’t even work tomorrow! So, we shall see what tomorrow brings! Maybe I will finally put new strings on Sonja’s guitar…
