Living like a child...

My thought for the day...I'm OLD

Gone were the days where I could stay up till 3 or 4 (or maybe even 6), gone are the times where I could just do whatever I want, I'm supposed to be responsible, looking toward the future, trying to set goals and figure out where I want to work, where I want to settle down...

and then... I came back "home" to find a little 4 year old who seems to have no cares in the world except...where and what should I be playing with next???

Its was a great reminder to me (even in the least 1 and half weeks I'd forgotten) God's call to be like a child and enjoy life again...now I don't know where the balance is between this and going to work every day, but hopefully I can find that balance...

My cousin is graduating from Harvard!!! Major shoutout to Andrew! Congrats! So my mom is in town...hopefully we can (re)connect and have a good time throughout this week...and weekend...

A lot of people have been asking what I've been doing with my time...or what I've been up to...so far, its just been mainly focused on work...I've been trying to come home and just rest, not do too much outside of maybe playing with 4 year old Nathaniel for a little after dinner each night...

Then I do a little reading and then maybe some crafts...better than playing computer games at least...

Here's my latest craft, for Nathanael (notice the spelling) my baby brother...for his birthday and high school graduation

and back

As for reading, I'm trying to decide where to start my devos, but I've been reading the Firebird trilogy, something that i bought way back in the day, and then only last year started reading again...I'm on the second book, out of three (duh...obviously since its a trilogy)...the series is a christian sci fi series written by the author of one of my favorite star wars books (...yes I'm a nerd I know)....but the premise is something like...what if God had created people on many different planets, how would God save the people then? Something like that, its hard to explain without getting the book, and its across the room from me at the moment :-P.

Until next time!!!
