Well for one I've been playing lots of league of legends so that's always salty:
Trying to win, getting carried, forgetting my fundamentals, losing focus, y'know the usual. I enjoy playing league because it's fun, but I'm reminded of what my brother said that it's an activity that you can't do anything but it. It takes your whole focus.
Umm last weekend I was working... And all that week I was so busy to even go dishes, but this past week I:
Did dishes
Did laundry
Dot a huge Costco shopping trip
Hung out with Hayden for an evening
Watched Avatar: TLA with Josh
Went to the CCC volunteer meeting (I wrote some notes during that service but it got lost when I closed the app, learned not to do that)
Got started on my Passport application
Got the last of my blood work done, just waiting for the results now.
So yeah, basically a crazy week, but I'm loving life.
Right now I'm just thinking. Got my neutral expression on and my minds basically empty. I kinda love this thing I've got, j don't need to be sling, I'm just in a room with some worship music going on and I'm reflecting on what my life is and what I'm hoping for it.
I talked about kids and what success looks like to raise them with Hayden, since he has a cousin who kinda doesn't have any goals or aspirations, from the sounds of it to me.
Obviously I'm hoping that I'll be equipped to lead my kids down an awesome path, until the point where they start being their own persons. That really is an adventure that I want to hurry up and wait.
As in, I want all the good benefits but none of the commitments and/or hours and hours of work that is required of me.

Upside Down:
An unfiltered look at how living a Jesus based life is countercultural, it makes you think a little bit.
What does that life encompass?
What are you willing to lose for more of Jesus.
This stage were at is about gaining more, gathering knowledge, building reputation, money?
Everything is so brand new, we have to gain a lift of stuff to make it work.
Like 9:24 but if you give up your life for my fake, you will save it.
It's not about #blessed!!
Jesus isn't the genie in the bottle.
Read this just now in the Promise Keepers daily devotional,
Pray when things are good. Pray when things are normal. Pray when the you-know-what hits the fan. Pray throughout the messiness of life.
Story of the guy who wasked how to get into heaven? Jesus said for him to lose his status, sell everything and give it to the poor.
Jesus asked the apostles to lose their comforts, to abandon what they knew, and follow Him.
Mstthew the tax collector. Loses all that. Dolla dolla bills.
John the Baptist, he lived out of major towns and villages, he knew that'd he would constantly be overshadowed, the invitation to him was to give up his reputation.
The Samaritan woman getting water from the well, she goes in the off hours to avoid the townspeople, who probably call her a slut. Jesus talks to her, invites her to let go of her shame,
Luke 9:24 "If you give up your life..."
Luke 9:58 the son of man has no place to even lay his head
Luke 9:23 deny yourselves and take up your crosses
What are you willing to lose for more of Jesus?
If your house caught on fire...
What would you grab?
Your phone, kids, ??
I'd Jesus asked for more money, oh easy.
Ego? Oh yeah sure I've got no self respect.
Time? Ummm... But that's mine, I'm a busy man.
Hurt? Well, idk I've been hurt all my life.
Shat is it that will put you in tough with those around you?
What will you have to surrender?
Jesus modelled this, lived it
To the extreme.
Jesus gave up his authority.
Used to breathe life into existence,
He did it to give people hope.
Che really nice oictur of s guy holding weight, vascular forearm something I aspire for.
Body weight fitness is an exercise routine I need to get into. Even if I'm just learning the motions, and how to properly execute the name and Thor of an exercise.
To me
Everyone likes the idea of sounding just, it gives an excuse to not commit to anything.
If you let Jesus change your life...maybe r rig pigs won't get your life. Maybe your social media presence doesn't match up with you real self.
You've got hurts, shame, sin, habits. God is in places He shouldn't have been.
Right in the middle of your shame
And broken ness.
Hmmm.
To be honest, we are shaped by the people we are closest to.
What am I willing to give up?
Money, sleep, security, family, friends, shame, respect, comforts, reputation, time, hurts.
Homestly, I don't think there is anything that I would not give up.
This is a reminder that we have something to give. Something to lose
It's not arbitrary.
Experience Jesus new because you decided to lose something for Him.
That's all for now!
