Second day in a row of going for a run, I don't know if I will do an everyday thing but I definitely plan to stay active this summer. I think I will make it a goal to get my gym membership by the end of this week. Right after I have my mysterious interview. I will give updates about that too when its over. I have to say that I am resume spent. I hate job hunting and praying that despite my hatred for them that I will get some kind of job. To be honest I have been applying for all of these PSW jobs but I really don't know how well I am equipped for them. I have all this head knowledge but very little practical knowledge. I do though have confidence that God will help me do that as well. I just need a job that will pay for the future.
The real reason for me writing this blog was to reflect on some ideas that have been floating around in my head. Going for a jog and thinking always makes the time go faster and is a good time to reflect in the midst of remembering to breath and not trip over something. I was reflecting on how when school stops and nothing overly important is pressing it gives me more of an opportunity to reflect on how my relationship with God has developed and progressed over the past while.
Here as some conclusions
1. I need to develop a better understanding of what prayer is.
Something that I have been challenged with recently especially. I have several friends going on missions trips this year in different parts of Canada and around the world and all have asked me to pray for them.
To be brutally honest over this past year esp. when someone asked me to pray for them I would shot one small little prayer up and then never think twice of it--obviously feeling guilty afterwards.
So I think this summer I am going to try to gain a better understanding or at least some better consistency of bringing others to God in prayer.
2. Been challenged recently to spend more time with the King.
Something that I have come to release is that when I have more time on my hands I often find myself wasting it on things that are taking too much of my time such as facebook and email and random googling. I have been reminded that this is God's time that he has given me and since I have it I think I should spend more time with him. Much easier said then done.
I thought was thinking about a ted talk that I watched recently but I think I will leave that to a separate blog because it needs a little more thought and a few more lines drawn to make some connections.
Summer is here in full swing so that means more Floating Clouds of thoughts. I am excited to see what the clouds portray!
