• well, since my last post a couple things have happened.  First I found a place to live.  It's a roommate situation so I share a 2 bed 2 bath condo.  This is good it will help me save money and since I don't have any furniture anyway it's perfect.  The second thing is this...

  I've been so concerned over the last couple weeks and so anxious about finding first a car and then a place to live.  Though those things are  important it was especially draining on me as I was getting stressed out over it.  I had migraines, I couldn't think straight, it was crazy.  I was praying, but not very much because I was so stressed, for those needs to be met.  Deep down inside I knew God would take care of it but obviously not enough to let go.  As I was driving to my sister's house and listening to a podcast from a church in Hawaii it hit me with such clarity.  God doesn't want me to be so concerned about all the little things and issues that come up in life but rather I need to desire and pray for His presence in my life.  Without his presence nothing else can happen.  I can go anywhere in the world and do anything but without God's presence in my life it's not going to be successful (at least by kingdom standards).  I think this has been something that has been missing for much of 2006, my deep desire for nothing but God's presence.  You have no idea how nice the last couple days have been.  I've been at peace.  There are still some concerns about community and church (both of which I haven't found yet) but God will provide.  He will take care of it.  But if He doesn't, all I need is His presence.  Anyway, just thought I'd share.
