Wow, it's been awhile since my last post, eh?! ("Let's go to Canada, it's great! It's a make-believe state..."=) I've gone back into my busy, busy routine which has taken it's toll on my level of communication online, a routine that keeps me busy every day of the week with only a couple of hours to spare and too little sleep. I'm busy playing worship in church and leading a kid's group for 6-10 year old boys. Taking them birdwatching, fishing, shooting and all that fun stuff... -I really like kids!
But with all that time in church I've been telling God that I've prioritised my time to do work that I've been called to do instead of having a part-time job on the side and so I'm telling Him to help me pay off my debts etc. Hasn't worked yet, but this far God really hasn't failed me once and besides He's probably trying to teach me a thing or two.. [grin]
Another resource that I'm dependent on God for is energy. I don't sleep too much and last year I almost quit everything 'cos I was worn out. I know that the same thing won't happen again if I "draw my strength from The Lord." The only problem is that the verb "to draw" is an active word. -I have to get up and do something aswell between God and I, I've always come out the weakest link. So: Ivan, get your strength from God this season, huh?!
Also worth mentioning is the fact that I'm full of love these days! I like people!!

hm...a very well respected teacher i had at some point taught that sometimes the most holy thing to do was SLEEPING!! ...so let's think about that for a while...
to me it sounds a bit like you are giving a spiritualized excuse for your lack of sleep... huh, i could give a lot of thoughts on this one, since i am much disagreeing with you, but i will save that for an email:-)

no less than "much disagreeing"?! sounds scary! =P But please do share... about picking you up in Amsterdam, rite! I'd REALLY REALLY REALLY love to (to see the base aswell), but the gas' gonna cost and my parents are still quite 'emsige' about the car.. (some insurance problems etc) so unless you can convince your parents to lend me theirs.. [smile] not expecting them too, though! T'would be brave of them!
yeah it would be fun if you could come see the base, check their website www.jmeo.nl/amsterdam....my parents will come pick me up the weekend after i planned to go home....i am affraid they'd also be using the car themselves the weekend i wanted to go anyways...too bad...i'll write you an email:-)

Hi, I'm not going to dive into the controversy, seeing as I also share your sleeping patterns and over-commitment. Although you've made me see it in a new light, cause you say the same things as I do but it sounds pretty dumb coming from someone else. I guess I'll have to get my act together and start to rest (both physically and spiritually) in the grace of God. Anyway, the real reason I wanted to write, is that Canada is 'the maple-leaf state', not 'the make-believe state'. Kudos on misquoting five-iron though, it probably happens all the time. Thanks
