Humbled Heart

The last couple weeks (or months) have been this weird roller coaster ride of emotions for me. I get fired up when I'm busy but whenever I have any down time whatsoever, my mind wonders to some places that it shouldn't and I get pretty bummed out. During this period, I've had lots of time for self-reflection and I've realized a lot of things about myself that I'm not too stoked about and am in the process of change. To sum it up, I've been pretty bummed out lately. It has brought me so much closer to God which is a good thing but has eaten me up inside.

Well on Friday night, a couple buddies and me headed down to Downtown Atlanta to feed the homeless. Basically, it's a van of about 4 or 5 people that bring food and clothes down on Friday nights. It happens every Friday night so the people are there waiting to get their grub on. Before the actual food thing begins, this young dude gets up and preaches for about 10 minutes or so. It was freakin' awesome to hear these homeless people get all fired up on God regardless of their situation. I talked to a few people that were out of the street and it was amazing to me how incredibly positive they were. It was really a humbling experience that really made me think that my little issues (although they suck) aren't really that bad in the grand scheme of things.

I'll definitely be heading down there again as it was really a good time and got to chat with some interesting people that have been dealt a tough deck of cards but are dealing with it.

Week "End" Review

This week was a total grinder at work as well as having something for every night (hence no blog posts). Nonetheless it was a good week. Here are some thoughts from the week:

• God continues to pour out His love on me
• I freakin' love my family
• I have awesome friends
• I miss my best friend
• The people on my coed softball team are some of the best I've ever met
• I'm glad that they found Larry Birkhead was the father
• I hate when my shoulder dislocates
• Bought 4 new books that I'm looking forward to reading
• Weather is totally weird right now
• Blue Moon Pizza in Smyrna is a new favorite for me
• I need to go fishing soon

That's all I got for now. Weekend should be pretty chill for the most part. Last Buckhead Church service at the grocery store this Sunday. I think I'm going to buy a new suit. 10-4, I'm out........

It's back on.....

After a couple month break I decided to get back on the blog thing....The last couple of months have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. The lady friend and I decided to call things quits. It was an incredible two years but it just wasn't so. Tough stuff but it is definitely going to be better for the both of us. I've learned a lot about myself and about relationships over the past two years (especially the last couple of months). I've also learned the importance of leaning on God in those times down in the trenches.

So with that being said, I'm back to bloggin. It will be full of stories and simple (maybe profound) thoughts about what's happening. Plus it's a chance for my Mims to use her new computer more.

With that being said, enjoy....Let me know your thoughts when you read something cool or not cool.....
