28 days remaining
today is feb 3. on march 3 i'll be in florida. i'm trying to jam-pack all the adventure i possibly can in the weeks ahead. paragliding is at the top of the list. today i'm rockclimbing at a waterfall closeby. next week i'm going whale watching. but all this busyness wears me out and makes me just want to sit on my friend's couch with a mug of coffee and soak up the fellowship i've found here.
i made a rough draft of a budget for the first month i'm back since i won't be working the whole month of march - i hate budgeting. and i know i'm not very good at it when i include things like a new pair of running shoes and going to disney world and spain.
a line from one of my favorite worship songs: "around every corner, and up every mountain, i'm not looking for crowns or water from fountains, i'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing, that the sight of Your face is all that i'm needing....i'll sing to you: it's going to be worth it, it's going to be worth it, it's going to be worth it all"
i realize that a lot of times i round corners or climb the mountains of life hoping to attain some new wisdom or direction for this present world - a revelation for myself, something that will make me a "better" christian. no wonder jesus emphasized living for the kingdom to his followers - we get too caught up in enhancing christian living rather than disciplining ourselves for a tunnel vision set to the eternal life...a life of dieing.

I love that song too! I have Rita Springer's CD on my PC at work and sing it at the top of my lungs!
Spain?! Wow, you really are going all out! Would love 2 hear more about it! And thank you for writing out those song lyrics - they have definitely blessed me. I will have to search for it on the internet.
