Chapter 1 - Kissed once in 15 years (about my experience going into the dating world after 15 years)

Chapter 2 - Seeing out over the Ocean
The reason I'm calling this Seeing out over the ocean is because more and more Brandon Heaths song "Eyes to see" and my experience Stand-up Paddleboarding gave me some fresh new insights into the broader picture this morning. It's my prayer that the focus won't be on ME and I can have a heart and eyes to see and God sees.

Chapter 3 - Into a New Decade - (Sept 2010 onward) adjusting to the changes the Lord has for me according to the Holy Spirit in humbleness, a repentant heart, my humaness and surrender.

Accidents

Posted 30th October 2009 at 10:15 PM by sampa
Yesterday a preventable accident happened at work, no one was hurt, but it happened because of rash judgement and pride when a co-worker got immaturely angry. Too many mcdonalds and cooked foods has set my emotions a bit off and lack of sleep. Back to more enzymic raw foods if I can and lack of time in the word.

Otherwise some happenings,
within my family some legal matters - but the one this has happened to says this is a test and is leaning on the Lord to keep a positive focus.

My old best friend from the Army I wrote about some time ago, I found out back in February charges were brought against him for unforced sodomy on a child under 18 at the school he taught at. He was a government teacher at a highschool, seemed well liked and it looks like he's still married and maybe with kids. The positive was when I read the comments about prior students in pure surprise. I will keep him in prayer, even though I haven't had any communication since 1998.

My special forces friend called me the other week. He was injured in a jump, his sturnum. I guess he'll spend the week at his girlfriends place ...don't know how long the healing process will be, but he's out of a deployment to Iraq for more than a year and most likely end of his career.

Started a Revelation study/discussion with some co-workers at the library this week. Seemed to go well, but KJV was hard for them to understand since they don't have much familiarity with the bible. I had other versions with me, I like the KJV for being close but if you can't understand what your reading it seems futile. I will print off easier versions our nxt meeting. We'll be meeting 1x a month, doing about 4 chapters in an hour. This has been on my heart for 3 years and if no man is going to step forward, then why not?

Some changes have been happening at work. A guy that returned was surprised by some personalilty changes (maybe more assertive) the other day saying, "what happened to SAMPA? I leave for a couple of years and someone corupted her". I'm not sure what he means, but I think he meant it in a positive sense. Unfortunately I dread coming back to work Monday having to face everyone after having been writen up (but everyone seems to be getting written up these days).

Previously I had writen about THE FROG date, the worst date of my life and so ended the blogs "kissed once in 15 years". Well I saw him quite a few times this week, since we were working in his area. The first time I saw he now has glasses like what I wore on the date (thick frame dark). He's also got a new bike and sold his truck. When he sped by, he took his knit hat off to be sure I'd see him, because my co-worker thought it was strange he took it off when it was cold. I'm not sure he knew I was in the truck, he just sees a state truck and knows there's potential. But the next day he did see me and was looking like my way like a kid. I don't know how to describe it. Its a part of my life I want to wipe out, but no matter how many times I move on and forget memories come back.

November I will pick up online dating again. I stopped back in April. I still keep in touch with the missionary (45yrs old) in Thailand, I'm forever greatful for his contact b/c my SF friend would have never studied and written his essay on salvation without our fellowship. And another guy (26yrs old) that had gone to Germany with the Army wrote me that he got married. He seems happy and I'm glad for him and that I never did meet up with him, b/c his mind was way too much on the physical rehlm and pushed the envelope too much.

Other than that the job hunt is progressing. Finished my Federal resume after amonth of proofreading back and forth. Now working on the KSA's and prioritizing by deadlines. Took today off work to get started on that, also chill out from my stupid mistake.

Tommorow I will go to a devotional study at a church that has a pastor whose a surfer. He wrote an awesome book and is quite well known in the Christian surfing community and Hawaii.

Today I spent a bit of the day in South bend shopping at Natural food stores, want to get myself back on track. Hopefully I'll be back to running again next week, my immune system has been down the past 3 weeks. I've been doing an abs/running workout the past 2 months (awesome to get back into lifting), but H1n1 has been rampent in my area so i had to take abreak. This monday I'll have raindrop therapy (sort of different oils for massage and building my immune system).

Praying the Lords blessings on any who visit.
