the weekend was: great. had a blast with my mom and nate in Chicago! would love to go back and see more of the city. i’m hoping that we are able to pull off this trip to NY city with my mom, grandma and myself! that would be sick. i turn 25 next year (car insurance is going down), my mom turns 50 (crazy huh), and my grandma turns 75. this isn’t something that happens everyday, so we are going to celebrate it. the weird thing is that no one has ever picked up on it before. tooks us 25 years to figure out.

tech that caught my attention: nothing really. not a lot going on out there. watching the rumors sites like everyone else.

where i am at the moment: home. i think i should take out this question, since i don’t blog from anywhere cool.

on my to-do list this week: got a lot of school work this coming week, not excited about that, but it’s a throwaway class, so the work is pretty simple, just sitting myself down to do it is the hard part. fixing this flashing light above me as I type. it keeps going on and off, but I would have to go buy another bulb (it is one of those weird candle looking ones) and I don’t have the money to spend on that right now. outside of that, not much. i have to read still for my guys group.

procrastinating about: school work. i hate school work. updating my resume. my job doesn’t pay enough. and i have dishes to do. but i hate putting my hand in a dirt sink. i know, i have issues.

how am I seeing God work: not sure. i can see relationship building all around me and if you know me that isn’t something I do naturally. learning how to truly love people with Jesus love. i’m waiting on him to move in some hearts i think. asking God what is next.

music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: been playing the most listen to music in my itunes lately (from top to bottom), but started listen to Lee McDerment’s A Matchlight in the Dark today (worship leader out of newspring church).

how i’m feeling about this week: um. to be honest, i’m in a slump and don’t know how to get myself out. so not feeling great about this week, but we never know what is in store.

how did God speak through your group on tuesday: we didn’t meet. erik brought his daughter in to the world! so we took the week off. can’t wait for next week.

debating over in my head: thinking about moving. i’m called to plant a church and God really blesses though that move and get out of their comfort zones to do His will. and if i plant a church here in phoenix i would be in phoenix to a long time and i’m not convinced this is where i want to live the rest of my life and it would help with some other things as well. i’m going to quote andrew, “where will you persevere the most serving God and spreading his beautiful love story?” he nailed it. thanks andrew.

the weekend that was: rather full. Friday played some XBOX with some guys, which is alway a great night of deep conversation and murderous rampages in Call of Duty. Saturday was just odds and ends around the house and that night was a time I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. I’ll leave it at that. Sunday was FULL! Church at Parkway (still decieding if I want to make this my church home), then up to Radiant to hear Mark Batterson from National Community teach and then work till close.

tech that caught my attention: kindle 2 still has my attention. There won’t be one in my near future for the fact that it carries a $359 price tag and I can’t justify it with the amount of books I buy. Amazon’s Kindle Site. Recommended books for the Kindle 2.

where i am at the moment: I’m at home in my newly design office. Pretty happy with it. Still need to put up from pictures and purchase a couple more bookshelves, but it is all coming together. The living room is looking very nice as well.

on my to-do list this week: graphics work, planning out next week, work and cleaning the upstairs. Hopefully fitting in some reading.

procrastinating about: paying bills. waiting for money to come in.

book i’m in the midst of: picked up some new ones, churched by Matthew Turner, Branding Faith by Phil Cooke and a classic leadership gem, Visioneering by Stanley,  to add to my selves when I was in Colorado last weekend, but still reading through It by Groeschel. That one I’ve picked up, put down and picked up again.

music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: Going back to some great ’90′s music. Green Day’s Dookie (all around great CD), Weezer, etc. Still listening to a lot of Chris Tomlin and Mark Schultz.

how i’m feeling about this week: uh, good question. Not really feeling any particitual way about it. I’m doing some heavy praying this week for next steps, but not really expecting an answer just yet. I’m thinking He is still working on some things. I am looking forward to Tuesday and Wednesday for ovious reasons.
