June 28

Today was an interesting day. It was definitely a Monday. I felt groggy and sluggish until about 5 o'clock. I suffered through hours of writing emails and what seemed to be absolutely nothing positive. Then after lunch things began to pick up. I had an excellent meeting with my older sister Sarah and mom. Together we came up with some brilliant work arounds to some of our prop problems.

Then we toured a house at 5:30 and we were able to work out some details on that location. Then followed dinner and then a family meeting. The meeting was a roller coaster. At times things were going well. At other times there was a lot of tension. Sometimes family can be hard to work with. But they are definitely the best people to work with.

This morning I practically slept through Bible study. For some reason I just couldn't focus on the text. This isn't acceptable so tomorrow I will have to force myself to pay better attention and learn from this valuable time. It was also a bad day for person study. I didn't even get around to it. This might explain why the majority of my day felt wasted. I didn't start it off right at all. Well, I should wrap this up so that tomorrow I can avoid these pitfalls and start my day off in the right perspective. This is my life on June twenty eighth, two thousand and ten.

Today was Sunday. It started off very well. I went one step further than I was told this morning by filling the dishwasher after I was told to only unload it. Then I finally remembered to bring my tithe to church after forgetting it several weeks in a row.

Service was just ok. It didn't go much deeper than just a brief overview of the text in Nehemiah. We were going over chapter 2. Although it got better towards the end of the sermon when pastor Bryan got into the application. He was talking about how Nehemiah goal was to remove the reproach that the broken walls, ultimately a result of their sin, had caused. He then cross applied that to our lives. How we need to rebuild our walls and remove the root problem sin. It also tied nicely into the discussion of how we are to prepare ourselves as the bride of Christ by becoming more holy.

Lunch was quick and we set off to play ultimate frisbee as Amie and I always do. The first few games I lost and towards the end of the third I was pretty frustrated at my team. I am ashamed but I felt like I didn't in that situation take leadership by having a sportsman like attitude. Instead my attitude was less than gracious. However, I did gain control of my attitude by the fourth game and enjoyed the remainder of the games. I was also excited to beat Josiah today. He happens to be the all star of ultimate frisbee. And today I managed to beat him in a foot race to the disc and dive to knock it down. It feels good to out perform the best. :)

Later we went to Aaron and Chelsey's house for Chelsey's Birthday. It was a great time of family and fun. What a blessing it is to have such neat family. Even though I sometimes have a hard time relating to my brother he is an awesome guy and I had a great time hanging out with him and his wife.

Tomorrow I begin work on what will be a very key week for Slow Fade. Either we will find the funding necessary or we will have to post pone the project for a couple weeks or even a full year. I guess I'll see what God has in store. This is my life on June twenty seventh, two thousand and ten.

Today is the first day of this blog. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time but I've always made an excuse. Today I decided that I will no longer make an excuse. So therefor I will begin reflecting on my life each night.

This morning like almost every morning I had difficulty waking up. It took my dad twice coming down and shaking me to wake me. I had forgotten but today was a work day. I am a co-owner of CDA Paddle boats and on Saturdays we show the boats around town. Well today it was my sister Amie's and mine turn. After about 4 hours and 2 bites we decided to set down the anchor and call it quits for the day. Then followed a very lazy Saturday filled with pretty much nothing.

Looking back on the day I can see that I did not treat my grandmother very well today. She is very difficult in many respects and never asks for things to be done but rather commands them. Which made it very easy for me to in like return her attitude with a rude behavior. Needles to say that is one thing I hope to change. I will pray that God will give me the strength to return her complaints with graciousness and humility.

One of todays highlights was having my production Slow Fade mentioned by Gordon Pictures in their e-newsletter. What a blessing to have the support of someone else. It has inspired me to press forward.

Well tomorrow is Sunday so I will put myself to rest for tonight. This is my life on June twenty sixth, two thousand and ten.
