2 Out Of 3 Is Good, Right?
by Colton White
It is day 15 of my no facebook/twitter/texting journey and I have a confession to make. For me, it is impossible to not text, apparently. So I think I am just going to stick with the no facebook and twitter for a while.
On another note, things have been kind of difficult lately:
Two weeks ago my Grandmother had a stroke and she fell into a coma; last Wednesday she passed away and the funeral was on Saturday. It has been a difficult year for me and my family, my Dad past away last October and that was difficult for all of us. Needless to say things have been especially difficult for my mom. I loved my Grandmother, she had Alzheimer’s diesease when I was growing up so someone always had to babysit her. That was me at least two or three times a week. She did provide me with numerous entertaining moments. I will share one with you, when I was thirteen years old she was driving me somewhere and out of no where in the middle of street she just stopped the car. I have to admit I was a little thrown off by this, as any normal person would, so I asked “Grandma what are you doing?” To which she replied, “i’m waiting for the Giraffe to cross the street” That was the first of many comical, but sad entertaining moments.
Things at work have been difficult, with everything happening with the family, taking Summer school and working another part-time job, I have fallen really behind. I have gotten in trouble a couple times already because of logistical things that I did not do correctly. I started the Summer motivated and excited, now i’m in this place where I am, well…the opposite. Almost in a melancholy sort of way, not quite that extreme but that’s the best way to describe it. I’m praying that the Lord breaks that in me soon, I’m ready for something new, something challenging, but at the same time I know the Lord is doing great things right now. I looove my students, they have become my family, and I cannot stop praying for them throughout the day.
In conclusion, I’m trying to remember what it was like when I first experienced the grace of Jesus, and pleading the Lord to bring that joy back. In the mean time I will keep serving, praying, and reading. Doing my best to glorify him with expectation that the joy is coming.
yea colt, 2 out of 3 is great. Giving up texting is nigh impossible. I’m sorry to hear about your grandma. :/ Prying for you and your family. The Lord will be faithful to provide joy and strength, He always is. Thankful we serve such a faithful, loving God who meets us where we are!
Texting is a valid and necessary form of communication, God knows this.
