Keeping 3 blogs is too difficult. I'm back to my blogger account. You can find my thoughts here:
Sunday night was our first practice for The Pursuit. Despite the absences of two of our band members I think it went pretty well. I'm really excited about this event and I hope that everyone who shows up will really be able to worship in a new and powerful way.
The 'Christmas' season goes by way too fast. Once again I found myself struggling to find time to enjoy the weather and music and unity that this time brings. I also found myself diluting this beautiful holiday to the commercialized absurdity our society has made it. I'm kind of ashamed about that. I love Christmas more than most things in this world but I realized this year that I may be loving it for all the wrong reasons. There is a specific purpose to this holiday and I wasn't embracing that. So this year was a time of refocus - of remembering why we celebrate Christmas and why it's such a big deal.
I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I know that most people don't, but I've never been that person before.
Have I mentioned that I love Christmas? I LOVE Christmas. This is the one time of the year that I have this complete sense of elation no matter what my current situations are. It's like the whole feeling of the season permeates into my heart. So far (since the day after Thanksgiving) I've already started decorating the house, pulled out the stockings and wreaths, made and decorated cookies with my sister and started my Christmas shopping...not to mention the fact that Christmas music is playing nonstop! I was having some trouble getting into the spirit of the season for a while because it was so warm but the recent change in weather has been a beautiful surprise that changed my whole attitude. Mmmmm it even smells better this time of year...
My shoulder hurts a lot today. I would very much like to play my guitar but even simple lifting of my arm hurts a lot right now. I bought some of those heating patches and they didn't work so I tried a heating pad - that didn't do much either. Luckily I didn't have to lift any of the kids today but tomorrow I might so I'm going to try and avoid it at all costs. Then on Wednesday I can hopefully get some insight into what's causing my pain so I can get rid of it.
I'M DONE!!!! It feels awesome.
I'm on page 7. I've been writing and doing research all day and I worked 5-10. It took me 5 hours to write 2 pages today. Incredible. I'm moving a little faster now and am in the final stretch. One more topic and then I'm done! Let's see how much I can finish tonight...
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to go to the doctor for my shoulder. It's been hurting since the end of the summer, around July. The chiropractor helped for a little while (thanks Patrick!) but the pain came back and it's getting worse. Today it was a constant pain that kept me from lifting things without a pinch. I'm not sure what caused it in the beginning. If you feel around there are a lot of knots. But they don't go away with massages and if you try it just triggers a nasty headache at the base of my head. So maybe the doctor will know of a way to fix it. I just don't want her to give me a bunch of pills and that's it. I want to get rid of it alltogether, not just mask the pain. It's not horrible, just annoying. But it travels down my back and that makes walking around campus with my school bag difficult. I set an appointment today for next week. Wish me luck!
I guess things took a turn for the better (?) today. we'll see what happens. Thanks though read more
