You are not your old nature, and Christ has removed it completely from you and in his perfect love, driven out fear. In Christ, you are his treasured possession. We were not meant to lug the weight of slavery around in the first place. Christ’s burden is easy; his yoke is light. You’re clothed in Christ’s righteousness, and when God sees you, he doesn’t see shame—he sees the perfection of Jesus.
From The Red Sea is Behind You

These are the words I've been reading for a long time, but only now have I begun to preach them to myself.  I had another post prepared... but it was pretty depressing, and I think this blog needs some variety.  Today was one of the most productive days in a long time... kept myself busy, did a lot of work.  Sadly not enough work done, but that's okay, making progress.  Two exams this week... so been trying to study, but hasn't been going as well as I'd like.  Oh well...

Checked cavlink, got lots more rejections aww ya.  I have a backup plan though.  A CL told me he could get me a job, downside or upside... be in the Philippines for a year.  Lol... but I might take it.  I feel like my other jobs aren't working out and this could be an awesome opportunity.  Overseas experience.  Could get involved with ministry there, Japan is nearby.  Don't really care about visiting Korea, but I guess I could.  Could visit China too.  Lots of possibilities... downside gone for a whole year.  I had planned to go overseas at some point... but so soon seems interesting, who am I kidding, SCARY.  I dunno.  I need to hear back from at least 3 places before I decide.  EPIC, Elder, TFA.  And I guess Census Bureau.  I don't really have hopes for anywhere else, but once these tests are over, back to the application grind.

I discovered, thanks to FB, a new Asian rapper named Gowe who's not bad.  But bigger and cooler is Ben Rector.
When A Heart Breaks

This song is beautiful, and he's going to come to C'ville in April!!!  I'm not gonna miss this like I missed Allen Stone, hopefully.

Life... there are several distinct regrets in it.  Once upon a time, I convinced myself that I wouldn't go back and change my life... but I think I would if I could haha.  But I can't, all I can do is look to Christ and see what the future holds.  I think I'm regaining a proper mindset on death.  Death is where we are reborn and completely shed our old selves... looking forward to it.  I think that's why if I get TFA going to a place like downtown Chicago scares me, but if I die, it's okay (at least to me, I doubt my parents would say the same...).  Trying to get back on a better sleeping schedule, night world.
