underexposed

something that this photograph is, but the lakers (read: kobe) are not.
but i don't care...
this year is a must win.

the problem is...

i can't help talking smack.

i have the best job in the world in the best field in the world-- philanthropy. everyday i'm in a position to work with community organizations, have conversations about changing the world (or at least the health status of all californians) analyze groundbreaking programs and best of all, be in the business of giving money away.

now tell me, why can't i stop grunting?

i'll tell you why.
there is too much work and too little of me to do it.
this is recession. where the best job actually becomes nightmarish.

it's always nice in San Diego.

time to sow

Lately, I ’ve been prodded by the Holy Spirit to examine my lifestyle. I was confronted with the question, “Am I inviting God to bless my activities or am I accepting God’s invitation to His activities? My life reflected the former. I finally realized that my “honeymoon” phase was over. So now I ’m back to leading a small group and working at the resource center to greet new guests/members and get them plugged into church. I ’m excited about it.

Here’s a snippet from Henry Blackaby’s, “Experiencing God.”

"Self-centered people try to keep their lives unruffled and undisturbed, safe and secure. Our temptation is to give our time and effort to the goals of this world. Then, when we are successful in the world’s eyes, we seek to bring God into our world by honoring Him with our success.

God is not interested in receiving secondhand glory from our activity. God receives glory from His activity through our lives. Deny yourself and join the activity of God as He reveals it to you."
