Now what….

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Sharp pain rings through my head as my alarm clock goes off. Not only is there beeping but a throbbing headache snaps me awake. Groggy and incoherent, I stumble into the living room, attempting to wake myself up.

Ooooo chocolate donut. Yum.

Munching away, I stare at the abnormally large Christmas tree in my apartment. Where has time gone? Just yesterday I was starting to plan my lighting design for IMAGINE Christmas. Just yesterday I was starting a new semester at UConn. Just yesterday it was summer time.

I feel strangely at peace yet torn. What am I supposed to do now?

My whole schedule has revolved around IMAGINE Christmas over the last three months. Hundreds of hours have poured into creating my first lighting design and if I can be so bold, it was amazing. With the equipment I had and the budget I had, lights for IMAGINE Christmas were above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Only once did the lights disappoint me and that was an error on my part missing a cue. (more…)

Day 40 of My Fast

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

So I was counting days the other day and future counting to 40 and realized that my birthday, November 30th, will be day 40 for me of my pornography fast!!

How cool!

I was talking with a friend and he was mentioning how powerful the concept of 40 days is in the bible. I’ve been wondering for years what it would be like to go this long without pornography and finally I’m going down that road and I am fully expecting God to show up on day 40 somehow and there after. Be praying for that for me please :) .

He has absolutely shown me the strength in His word to beat this addiction and shown me the purity in women that I have desperately wanted for so long. I’m excited to see where God takes me now that I am almost 40 days into what should become a lifetime fast. Thanks so much for all your prayers and support!

And for those that have read here that do struggle with it, believe me when I say that anything is possible with prayer and belief that God can purify and help you through an addiction like this!!

Amen!

I am…

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

This weekend was amazing for me.

Friday morning I had hands down the best massage I have ever gotten by a woman who specializes in myofascial massages. She incorporated it into the standard Swedish massage and wow did it help out my back a lot. The last two weeks have been very painful for me as my back injury from Afghanistan really acted up and was bothering me non-stop, even to the point of tears at times. So this release from that was a blessing to say the least. :)

I worked yesterday as well which was slightly lame but it was outdoors so at least I got some sun. I’ve steadily moved my way up in the chain and am now in charge of scheduling, which yes is tedious, but allows me to show that I am serious about continuing to work there. I’m making a name for myself because I’m very good in the corporate world because a lot of the work involved focuses on flirting (appropriately of course :) )and shmoozing with upper management, which I do. So we’ll see where this job leads me. If nothing else, it’ll be a good contact for the future.

I also posted the other day and (more…)
