Our project looks like it is about to come crashing down all around us, and it is day eight, and, and, and…
Today was seriously rough, and the rest of the week is likely to be a continuation of what is already a bumpy ride, but my mom is coming to Vietnam to hang out for a week so I am excited for that!
Other than hanging out at the office until 2am working like an animal, I will be able to spend time with my mom praying and drawing near to God
Oops, My Bad
In a lot of ways, I have gone pretty far astray, and there is no denying that I am emerging from one of the most arid spiritual times of my life
I don’t think anyone would have considered me a bad person, but I wasn’t close enough to God to great in his eyes
Over the last week I have let go of a number of emotional issues that were keeping me tied to negative emotional patterns, ones that had held me captive for a very long time
I Have Self-Confidence, Right?
One of my greatest struggles has been to let go of wanting reassurance from people around me
To put this in perspective, I didn’t go around shaking everyone pleading to be validated, but there were times when I felt that my choices were dictated by a desire to feel the approval of others, to the point of my own detriment
On the flip side of that, I am the most stubborn, independent person in the world sometimes, so my personality has a lot of… “variety”
*cough*
Preparing For Marriage
When Amy and I met, we just knew it was right
Ever since that first day, we have guided our decisions according to the principle that we were perfect together, and felt no desire to hold anything back emotionally, intellectually or physically
As time went on, despite being amazingly happy, I realized that we were not close spiritually, and something felt like it was missing in our interactions
The fact that it was missing reminded me that I wanted it
So now, I am looking forward to seeing Amy again after she has been filled with the Holy Spirit, as I can’t imagine what it will be like to look in her eyes again
Well, the above picture makes sense because you can’t properly do laundry without drinking Coke while you’re at it.
P.S. I am so happy you are coming home soon.
I was dying when I saw this today thinking: “That was someone’s good idea!”
I wonder if it works!
I am beside myself just thinking about coming home this weekend!
Also, I wanted to say that our platform FINISHED ON TIME, praise God!!!
I am sitting here sweating at 6am, but I feel amazing, picking up our mom soon from the airport
Yay for good ideas!
Yay for your homecoming this weekend!
Yay for the on-time platform launch (WOWSERS!)!
Yay for *our* mom… ♥!
Praise God!!
(Lots of !!!’s)
