Hum . . .

Well, it's Sunday evening. . .the Super Bowl is still going on because I can hear the guys grunting downstairs. My Saturday didn't really pan out like I thought it would. . .God knows how to remind me that He's in control, not me. Sometimes that hurts though and I have discovered even more that I am rather lonly in SLO when it comes to my personal life. I never (or rarely) notice it during the week (or the weekends that I am gone) because my job is so interactive, people-focused, and high energy. Lonliness makes me really sad so I'd love some prayer. Another busy week is about to start and I just don't quite feel ready for it.


On a more exciting note about the week - it's Veritas week! Check out veritasforum.com for lots of detailed info. Tonight we are doing a Veritas Prayer and Preparation event. We'll spend time in worship, prayer, vision-casting, and training for the week ahead. This is a big deal and there is a lot to lift up to God. This is a good place to be in. . .


Which takes me back to me. . .it's a good place to be in - but it's hard to have that perspective when I feel stuck in a slump. The Psalms are amazing and so many verses encourage me so much. . .like this one: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped" (28:7). May our hearts trust in Him wholey and soley!

Ya, I know what you mean by loneliness. I lived pretty much alone for the last year, working in various countries and extensive travels.... Which sounds fun, and there were times... But loneliness sets in.
Your in prayer Arijaan.
And thanks for the link to the Veritas site. I deal with alot of evolutionist where I am living now, and it's nice to talk there talk sometimes.
