I haven't been writing in quite awhile (if you view my myspace blogs it will be pretty obvious) and I'm really not sure why that is. I can't really say I've been too busy to write because that would be a lie. I have plenty of time. Instead I fill my time by watching TV - which I justify because I'm being "social" (not really...how social can you be while watching television? But at least I'm watching with someone, right?) or I'm playing soccer or hanging out with my friends/Ryan. Anyway, I should really be using my idle time to immerse myself in God's Word or spend time in prayer, just talking to God. I'm really a bad friend to him. I mean, God is my best friend, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the way I treat him in return. It's horrible. Definitely has to change. The thing is, I really want it to change, yet I keep letting all the distractions of life take over & God just takes a back seat. How much that must hurt Him! Here He is, waiting all day for me to acknowledge Him, talk to Him, share everything with Him because He cares for me that much. And what do I do? I withdraw. Shut myself off. Tell Him I'll hang out with him later...I mean, I have time right? Do I? Do I really have time? How selfish can I be?? I really get disgusted with myself when I think about how little attention I give Jesus each day. I can't keep pushing him off until the last few minutes of the day, when I crawl into bed and say "Okay, Jesus. Now I have time to talk to you...but only 5 minutes. I'm kinda tired." I bet He's pretty tired of waiting on me.
Anyway, that took a bit of a divergence from what I had planned on writing.
Basically my plan was just to give a bit of an update on my life. I'm playing in the All Nations Cup in July. It's a soccer tournament that will be held at Starfire in Tukwila in mid-July & I'm really excited for it. I'm playing with Carrie on Team Europe and our team is pretty fun. I like the people on it & enjoy our coach a lot. It's kinda like being back in college...just having that more professional aspect back. We even have a team sponsor who got us some really sweet jerseys. I'm excited to wear them. :) So that's about all the news on the soccer front for me.
Laura & I have been shopping around for a new place to live. We're getting a little tired of the commute to Seattle from the Eastside and have been searching around the Ballard/Greenlake area, so if anyone knows of a 2 bedroom available, please pass it my way!! But it kinda needs to take pets...which makes our search a little bit more difficult. But I know God has something out there for us. We definitely won't be living on the streets. If worse comes to worse, we'll be back at the parentals for awhile. But we have plenty of couches we can crash on too. :) Anyway, prayers for us to find a place would be greatly appreciated!! Somewhere that is safe and not too sketchy preferably....
Oh! After 5 long years I am FINALLY making my return to Maui!! I will be taking a trip for 10 days in October and I cannot wait!! Sun, sand, surfing, boogie boarding, snorkling, hiking, swimming, tanning, shuffleboard (don't mock it!)...yeah...it will be great!!!! Anyway, just had to share my excitement there. :)
