trying to look at the unseen

I had another sleepless night last night and as I am writing this at work, I just thank God that He has given me the strength to get through the day so far. Thank God that today I am at Chevron again where the coffee flows freely (on my third one for the day - I will try to keep this my last, no promises tho) and the work pace is pretty manageable (today anyway) with no one else in my section except for me. Weird day today, soooo many appointments have cancelled and I am left with a pretty free afternoon now.

Weekend was great - packed and productive. On Saturday night, Regeration had a combined fellowship with the Young Parents' Fellowship (with the BGR topics and the combined fellowship with young parents, makes me wonder what is on the minds of the committee members who are all at a marriageable age o_o hahaha - jk guys).

We listened to the Jim Berg sermon More Than Enough Hope once again (I have listened to this my fair share of times) and it was a good reminder once again of where I have been putting my hope and more importantly where I should be putting my hope. Again I was reminded that God should be all that I need and all that I want, and again I was convicted of my desire for gifts from God taking place over God Himself. It seems like it will always be a bit of a uphill battle because you don't see God, but you do see material things.

Reminds me again of the Team Crosby memory verse from camp 'for we look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal' 2 Corinthians 4:18. I don't think I will ever forget that memory verse eh!

OK I'm gonna leave it there for now and find something to do. When I get home, I will upload some pics of the views from level 37. For now tho, I might go make another coffee... Just kidding :)
