my life...

for those of you who read this and just want to know what's going on with rando:

the good
three (count them, 3) students placed their trust in Jesus Christ at YEC
YEC was amazing; had no major problems on the trip
i turned in my research paper with not problems.
i still have a little bit of turkey left over.
the mac'n cheese is gone.
clemson is 9-3, we beat carolina, we're bowl bound again (can i get some chick-fil-a love?) go tigers!
i get to preach in three weeks (scary, i know)
packers play the 'boys tonight... go, pack! go!
my broken driver-side window is no longer a problem.

the not-so-good
i'm still behind on some stuff for my classes (nothing i can't handle, but still, i'm behind)
packers haven't won in dallas in a LONG time.
phone is dead. car charger is in my car.

the bad
my car died (the reason my broken driver-side window is no longer a problem).
phone is dead. car charger is in car, which is also dead (i think you see the problem now).

the good (cont.)
i've got people helping me to find a vehicle to replace my dead one
i've got people to drive me (or loan me their car) where i need to go

the funny (or at least ironic)
there are students in my church who cannot legally drive a car alone, but who have a car. i currently do not. ha!

the point
this blog is full of good, not-so-good, bad, and funny things that are going on in my life right now. the bad totals two, count them, two (2), things. good things - 15.

when i first began the blog, i was focused on my car, the bad stuff. but as i wrote, i realized that the good things in life far outweigh the bad, and even the not-so-good.

how often do we focus on what's not going right in our lives and miss out on all the good, wonderful stuff?

as the christmas season swings into high gear, let's remember that God calls us to be joyful, and joy has nothing to do with our circumstances - it has everything to do with our Savior, Jesus Christ.

car-less for HIM,
rando
