Yeah yeah yeah...no

It's not everyday that you get a ride home from two former Olympic BMX racers who are quite interested in "misplacing" orange cones in your empty parking space for kicks.
Oh the laughs.

Last week was a rough week. But it forced me to talk to God rather constantly. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of questions. Lots of "wait" answers. Hmm...

This will be better only because of the grace of God and his teaching me how to pray. This week is a week for focusing on other peoples prayer needs and less on myself and my wants and me me me. Other people are hurting and although I need this constant prayer time with God, I can use it to pray for others too...more than I have been. SO.....

I'll be praying "BIG" this week.

And I will still be praying about the other, rather intense, situation of last week and this week and for however long it needs prayer for.... but not from my view of it, but for the, ah... other...um...yeah.


Oh, and I love my kiwi church very, very much.
Why must I go back to America again?

To sum up my week....

(These) Lonely Places

by Cara

Feels like
Shadows
Closing in
On me

Heartbreak
I've played the game
Now shadows
Are creeping

So many times
In different places
So many times
On me


Shadows why do you seek me?
Why are you following through my room?
Where am I supposed to run to
If you are always waiting there too?

"Shadows!", love screams:
"Leave me, in some peace!"
"Shadows, go away
And, give me some release!"


Feels like
Shadows
Closing in
On me

Heartbreak
I've played the game
Now shadows
Are creeping

So many times
In different places
So many times
On me

Slightly delayed -- apologies

Uh oh.

It's been awhile.

That's how you know I really have a job.

I work at a call center for ACC - New Zealand's nationwide health insurance - unique only to NZ
In other words, I work for the government.

I have a headset, two computer screens, a corner of a make-shift cubicle decorated with as much fabric, art, and quotes that I can fit on two small square bulletin boards. Hmm. I try.

I'm surviving. It's not half bad. It 'ain't have good neither', but it'll do. Hehe.

I'll get into it more later. Right now, I'm getting over a bad cold and I need to take a nap.





I miss Mexican restaurants.
And I hope mom is recovering okay from surgery.
