4 days 'til the weekend

and the weekly countdown continues to the weekend. :)

we didn't go biking last night, it was a little too hot for us (90 degrees + humidity when i got out of work). maybe if we'd been biking all summer we would've gone, but we haven't gone since last july so we're a little (okay, a lot) out of shape. i don't think we ever went again last summer after marissa and i both ate it on the robinette's trail. that trail's insane, they don't keep the trail cut back so you're constantly dodging branches and washouts. marissa's wipeout was definitely the best - a full flip over the handle bars :) marissa you rock!!

so instead i went fishing with marissa, her dad, and bro. that was fun!! it was the first time i've ever bought a fishing license...that was weird. i always have fished without one, mainly because i never knew you had to have one until i went along fishing with friends. my dad raised me to break the law i guess...thanks dad! :D the whole license thing is kinda stupid if you ask me. it's like, here - let me pay money so i can catch fish and throw them back in the water because they're not big enough to eat...but oh well, i was legal last night and i felt guiltless!

how often i forget (sorry, changing topics here) how much i don't deserve things. i get frusterated with things or people because i feel like i've been wronged or they're not doing things like i want them to. it makes a world of difference when i remember i need to die to myself and live for Christ and God's glory. i need to die to my selfish desires and stop pouring myself into...myself and start pouring myself into others. it's how much i can honor God and help/love others, not how much i can get from other people - and get from God.

well the break time bell just rang so it's back to work. it looks like we're going to have kinda a chaotic day here today, BUT -

this is the day the Lord has made! so i will rejoice and be glad in it! :D

keep it real.
