Today I am working on a client’s website. The site is still under development, but I will post a link to it here once I am done. I am not artist, make no mistake about that, but I feel that I am able to make a good site for my clients.

One thing that happens to me during the winter, and even during the summers with A/C, is that my hands get cold. I was unfortunate enough to inherit my mother’s circulation and so my hands often get cold very easily. It does not seem to matter how much I am typing or playing games, the backs of my hands always start to get cold, and that chill eventually seeps down into my fingers.

None of the solutions that I have had suggested to me seem to work for very long. Thus far my one repreive is to have a big steaming mug of hot chocolate, and use that to warm my hands up. Although it looks a little funny during the times of heavy A/C in the summer it works.

Any other ideas out there?

I am constanstly amazed at what the Lord does in children’s lives. More so than that, I am amazed at what He does in my life when I am willing and available to him. Our God truly is an awesome God!

As I sit here and wait for a client to show up, I am reminded of how badly I tend to wait. I don’t think I have ever met someone who likes to wait, be it for money, or even punishment. No matter what it is, we would rather have it done with and move on than wait for it to happen. This can be especially troublesome when you are young like I am. Currently I am blessed with a great job that I love, however, sometimes I look forward to some of the relief of my financial stresses that “should” come with more years in the work force and higher pay. I don’t want to wait for it to happen, I want it now.

However, this attitude is wrong and sinful. Matthew 6:25-34 addresses this.

25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 “And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28 “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 “Do not worry then, saying, `What will we eat?’ or `What will we drink?’ or `What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

My impatience to have the financial stresses removed from my life, are in direct contradiction to this passage. I am worrying about tomorrow and the things that I will need, instead of trusting God to take care of these things and being obedient by doing His will. When my heart is focused on money instead of God, I am not seeking His kingdom first, I am seeking my kingdom first. At church we sing the song “It’s all about you”. If my eyes are on my needs, it is “all about me”. I want my heart to be focused on Him, and I want my hands to be doing His will. When I am doing that, then my focus will be right, and the Lord will lead me through daily walk of life and will provide for me and my family. That is a promise of His Word, and He will always do as He has promised.

This comic is probably one of my favorites of all-time. I am sure this sheds alot of light into my personality.

Well today is my cousin Stephanie’s 16th Birthday! Happy Birthday Steph!!!

I know that she has been waiting anxiously all year until the day that she would be able to get her license. Enjoy!

P.S. I hope to get more updates here as my time becomes more available.

As I haven’t been posting here very much recently, I have decided to open this blog up to some of my buddies. So if you see a blog by someone else now and then don’t worry, I haven’t been hacked!
