So I have decided to embrace where I will soon be living and was thinking that it would be a good place to complete one of my major goals for 2007. In 2006 I wanted to complete a half marathon and I want to do a complete one in 2007. So I was on the net today and I came across this http://www.sacramentocowtownmarathon.com/

They call one of the marathons in Sacramento the cow town marathon. Really, you have to go to the website and see it. It seems like fun, and would give me until October to train for it. You think should go for it??!!
In other news, I came across the book, "How to Get a Date Worth Keeping," by Henry Cloud. I know he spoke at CSU a couple summers ago. I got roped into volunteering for a few hours at my church office, so I had some time to read (all I had to do was answer the phone when it rang). I got the book for free so there isn't a money back guarantee. Do I really want to start dating when I will be moving somewhere else? If I do start dating here I can get my game up to par so that when I am in Davis/ Sac I can find me the guy on my dreams. The book is kinda funny, but has some good points in it. I only read the first 8 chapters. It is a easy read.
I had a great time in Fresno for a support trip. I raised support and got to see friends I hadn't in a while. Now I am back in Bakersfield and need to keep the momentum going. This weekend there is a missions fair at my church. A great opportunity to see a lot of people that I wouldn't normally and let them know about my ministry, pray that it goes well.
I am tired of snot.......... I have been nasely since 2006...it is time for it to be over! I thought I was getting better, has about 2 days of relief and then it is all back-- any suggestions??
I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be truly satisfied. I have been thinking about what I had thought would satisfy me, and have realized that it really has just left a big void. The only thing that can offer true satisfaction is Jesus Christ. Knowing Him. Loving Him. Glorifying Him. To quote John Piper, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him".
I have been pretty unsatisfied lately. This is really my own doing. I am working on this—it is a long process.
Psalm 90: 14
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Isaiah 58:11
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
If we take Jesus at his Word, and start trusting that He will give us all that we need...why do we need to pursue all the things that the world pursues?
