i’m getting ready to move the first week of december so i’ve started the packing process by purging my closets. since i didn’t have any boxes over the weekend, i decide to tackle the closets. how in the world did i get so many clothes and so much junk? the sad part is that i just moved less than 2 years ago. in this process i found myself longing for a simpler existence. do i need all this stuff? are there better ways to invest my money? what might god be doing in me to bring about this simpler life? i’m not sure i know the answers to these questions yet but i’ll be listening to the father talk to me through this process.

in the Hopi language, the word koyaanisqatsi means ‘crazy life, life out of balance, a state of life that calls for another way of living.

life is feeling a little out of balance these days. sometimes it’s difficult to figure out how life gets to this state but at this point i know exactly how i got here. lots of late nights, emotionally charged visit with extended family, lots of work, airport delays. all of these factors contribute to life feeling a little crazy right now. i’m thankful the weekend is coming so i have some time to get back in balance. i’m asking god to speak to me and show me how to bring some balance back. not sure i can go another week like this.

what do you do to bring a little balance back to your life?

sometimes i’m amazed that what i get to do in my job. today was one of those amazing day. i spent more than half my day talking about prayer. we had some great conversation on what prayer is, what it’s not, what misconceptions there are, and what god wants us to experience in prayer. i would love to hear your thoughts on prayer

what is prayer?
are you satisfied with your prayer life? if not, why not?
what is the most helpful prayer resources you’ve read?

i’ve been talking to a few authors lately with their websites, blogs and social media sites and have found myself getting convicted about the abandonment of my own blog. it’s been a while since i’ve taken time to get any new content up on the blog. somehow i just don’t find time or energy to express myself but im feeling compelled to get it going again. there is lots happening right now and i believe i’ll need an outlet to express what god is doing in my heart. although i’ve not been writing i’ve been finding a creative outlet in photography. here are a few pictures i took this weekend. most of them were edited using picasa which is a free photo editing tool from google. photoshop is great but at this point is too expensive for me so picasa is just what i was looking for. yesterday was gorgeous and it was a blast to enjoy the weather and get a few good shots. more thoughts and musings to come…
