I’m feeling the beginnings of a horrendous cold. My eyes are aching, my head hurts, nose is painfully aggravated, throat is sore…yep. The next few days have the potential to catapult the start of Christmas week into the land of unwell. I’m not overly stoked.
Asher and Me in the park.
Its been a while since I’ve written. It feels like I’ve been opening these things with a statement in kind for the last few posts, so I’m thinking I should either remedy the situation or shut up about the obvious. There’s been plenty of material, certainly, but there’s also been a lack of time. The new job takes up far more time the the old one, generally keeping me out of the house for a good 10 hours a day. Asher isn’t so excited about this reality – something I feel pretty terrible for. But hey, we took some fun pictures in the park this morning. My mom humored my idea to get a few winter shots of the two of us. No, I’m not a crazy pet parent. Ash is a big part of my life, though and pictures seemed fitting.
I’m wading my way through a new season in life. I’m not too excited about parts of it, and other aspects are just downright uncomfortable. I’m torn about certain decisions and unsure about which paths to take. Relationally, I’ve had some amazing time with close friends and family lately. My friendships which go back to High School I have become so fond of and thank God for three in particular who’ve been through it all with me. As for other relationships…any further and I’d only speak in code anyhow.
This whole trusting God thing really is turning out to be a life-long obstacle course of learning. I have to admit, I’m not doing so great with it at the moment. As the year is drawing to a close, and every day draws me back to its corresponding date last year, I’m still uncertain and unsure. The cool thing is…God already knows that. He loves me anyway. I use the word ‘Amazing’ too often…but in this setting, it’s quite fitting.
