the life of nuts

nards · 12-06-2003, 07:07 PM

Day is going ok, it's really hot/humid here today.
Basically this is what's going on in my life lately:
I'm really struggling with the whole tension between God's providence and will. I believe that if you're doing God's will, his providence kicks in. I have a problem in that that isn't working in real life for me. I believe God has told me I'm suppose to be where I am but I have no proof/ sense of His providence in my life.
I have really been struggling with this for ages and would appreciate any input/advice.
Also, a youth pastor I was talking to several months ago said that when Dad becomes a christian, the providence with flow through the family. (not exact wording, but it had that effect) Is this true? If so, does that mean I'm being held back in my spiritual walk because of my Dad not being christian?
Appreciate any advice/ scriptures that back up your ideas etc.
Um, yeah, that's about all for now.
Having a relaxing day.

Well, had a crappy night last night. Went out and helped wrapping presents for needy children, that was cool, but my car broke down just before I turned into the driveway

I don't know what's wrong with it, my dad towed me up the drive and we'll probably get the AA out to have a look at it.
Went to the beach yesterday afternoon, that was cool, played a bit of volleyball and just sat on the beach.

Well, today has been a busy day. Helped buying presents for children affected by having a parent in jail. 3 1/2 hrs shopping ugh. I had to try and sort out my car as well. The car is beyond repair, it's a bomb with (as phats would say) "issues" and not worth getting fixed.
This afternoon, I went into church to do some stuff and continued helping with the car that wouldn't start.

That's about my day.
Ask me some questions

Hey Nards! Here I am visiting your blog! I really, really love your avvy & sig.

Not a huge sesame street fan, but puppets are just plain awesome. What's the hardest decision that you have made? The hardest decision you're faced with now? How do you make your decisions?

nards · 12-09-2003, 11:52 AM

Hi.
My plans for this Christmas, Christmas eve I'll probably go to one of the services at my church. Christmas Day, usually goes something like this: church (at Mums church), champagne (?sp) breakfast/brunch after church. Visit relatives/ go to the beach/ relax during the afternoon then a bbq tea with turkey that's been in the coal range all day. Yeah, that's about all we usually do on Christmas day.It's my b/day as well, so I usually get calls throughout the day. Then on boxing day we usually go down to the warehouse for 1/2 price specials and spend any money we might have got on Christmas day.
Beth, you ask hard ones *thinking*

Probably be what to do after I stuffed my knee. Giving up going on an OE was a hard decision to make as well.

Usually I pray about it (if it's a big decision to be made), maybe talk to people that are further along the journey. If I've been thinking about it for ages, I choose whatever seems the best option.

Um, yeah I think that's about right. Well, better get ready for work

nards · 12-10-2003, 01:14 AM

Well, work was busy today so I'm really tired. Sounds like I'll be borrowing my Mums car temporarily and she's upgrading to a Nissan Sentra so that's cool.
Today I realised i'm appreciating work more than I used to, which is good. It's the most boring job I've ever had but at least it brings in money and I'm able to really commune with God while working. Prayed for hours today.
Anyways, I'm stuffed so yeah, that was about what happened in my day.

Ciao
