Summer Update and Thought-Spills...

Top o' the summer break to ya!

Well, since the shennaniganz started I have been quite busy: Lunching with people, working in Greenville, working in Anderson, trying to keep up with friends, etc.

Here are some of the top things on my mind (I would say "top ten" but I'm not sure if there are ten yet...)

1> I MISS MY PEEPS!
I know...I still see a lot of your friendly people, but I feel like some of us have lost touch for a while now. I'm trying not to stay too busy so I can hang out! After all, then what's a summer for?

2> I like to work, but I hope it gets better...
Echk (sp?)! The summer job is definitely OK (especially when you have two like me!), but I really wish I could spend my time with people-- you know, talking with them and sharing the love of Jesus! Thankfully, I am getting to do that whenever I can! And I wish I had a career job to work at a place were my creativity (and I) could run free! Luckily Sean Gaffney and I have had a couple of weekendly design "symposiums" to get those creative juices flowing (mmm, yummy!). Summer jobs seem so....I dunno...."cliche-clackety-wack" for a lack of a better term.
(see WOTA vol. 3)

3>Can Anybody Pass the Wisdom, Please?
One thing that has gone well these past few months is that I have learned a lot about where I want to be in terms of a man of God and in terms of relationships. I want to be a man after God's heart; even when I trip and fall I want to fall in that direction. I feel that I have gained some wisdom, but certainly not enough. I have been trying to listen to the plan that God has for my life very closely, and my goal is to try and spend more time contemplating His Word, not just reading. I have written a few letters to people with things that I firmly believe embedded in them, in an effort to spread the wisdom I have gained. I want to serve more, give more, hear more, speak less, and love more!

4> Preparation for Lightspeed. Jumping to Hyper-space in 3...2...1...
Another of my goals for the summer is to re-evaluate and determine my goals for the next 5-10 years. It'll be quite a ride! I am confident in my Lord to guide me where he needs me and to give me everything (including the trials and tear-jerkers) that I need.

That's enough for now. Until next time, keep the torches burning bright!

I definitely know where you're coming from... I feel the same way about this too!! I feel like I'm working all the time and I don't ever get to spend time talking to my friends anymore... also... work has been scheduleing me so much lately that I haven't been able to go to church... I keep telling me that I can't work every Sunday but they won't do anything about it so lately I've just been doing a lot of devotionals each day... I've really got to get them to understand that I've been really involved with my church in the past and I want to be that involved again... I'm used to going to church each Sunday and going to Sunday School and then going to help in the nursery during the service (we have speakers in the nursery rooms so we can hear the sermon)... I miss not being able to go to church... I really want to get more involved again... I've just got to figure out a way to do that... Anyways... Have a great day and I'll hopefully see you at the coffee house some time this week... ~*Lindsey Branyon*~
