disappointment and excitement

quote of the week:

im 27. im in a job that i hate. i have no prospects on the horizon with women. and on top of all of that, im arthritic.
-a drunk from north carolina

its not the quote of the day because i didnt hear it today, but i did hear it this week.

we have a new intern to help out with the youth at church.

he's younger than me.

he spoke wednesday night at church. and he was talking about his experiences in life. he said that his parents got divorced when he was 6 years old. the jist of his message was that even though a situation looks bad, God still is in control and He will use it later in your life.

he said that because of his parents divorce, he has an intense love for his future kids even before he has them. and that got me to thinking...

i wonder if the reason that i get along so well with kids is because of my parents getting a divorce. i dont know. i've never really thought about it, but that definitely sounds logical.

its something to think about anyway.

looks like i wont get to see krissy this weekend after all.

i know, you're thinking, 'why cant she just skip her play practice and come down to b'ham to see chad', but thats not the case at all.

im the one who cant go.

i am a group leader of the senior high boys at the disciple now that my church is doing this year. our youth director asked me to do it a long time ago, i just forgot that it was this weekend.

im really disappointed that i am not going to get to see krissy, but i am really excited about doing this. i hope she understands.

the only real responsibility of being a group leader is that i have to give two small devotionals. one tonight and one tomorrow night. i already have tonights prepared, but i dont know what i am going to do tomorrow night.

when andy asked me to do it, the first thing that popped into my head was the two things that i have been going through lately. michele and work. and how i have recently learned to rejoice in my sufferings. then our new intern did that sermon on wednesday, and i found out that the main focus of the weekend is learning to rejoice and praise God in your sufferings.

now, you try and tell me that God is not working this disciple now.

but i still dont know what i am going to do for saturday night. i do know that God will speak through me, and it will be fine though.
