face book is killing my blog- i am so sorry....i have seem to lost time to blog.

but- here i sit at work on a Friday with NOTHING to do (yeah- that never happens) and thought i'd blog a little. not sure about what...but i think i can come up with something.

since my last blog life hasn't really changed that much; well except that i am busier! basketball season is here (and has been for the past 5 weeks). Every time I resume coaching I get excited about it. I really do enjoy it. but this year i've felt 'pressed down' hard with some things. I've realized (and not just cuz of ball stuff) that life is really tough! And i dont think that realization has come because of my own struggles. I've been a witness to lots of 'tough' stuff that young peeps (and not just my ball players either) have to endure. I remember growing up; i remember being a college kid....and i dont EVER remember struggling with 'life' like some are. It's hard!!! i know from teaching junior highers and seeing their lives daily...that struggling is only going to get worse for the up coming generation. (just found out a 12 year old in my building is prego...yeah- thats what i call tough stuff) I've spent many hours the past couple of months (again- i am NOT just referencing that ball team here) counseling... and i feel very inadequate. I am not a counselor! I am reminded how important it is to be centered....and not just in dealing with life, but being centered in God. Most of the struggles that i have been a witness to has taken me to my knees!!! I am sooooo glad that I have the throne of God to turn to. yeah- it's hard....and emotionally draining! and it does 'press me down', but i am glad that i am in 'this' place of life. I am glad that the young people i am around have someone to turn to. it's hard. and i do feel inadequate, but it also makes me feel like i am worth something and that maybe, just maybe, i am making a difference. so that is where life has been for me the past couple of months.

I am sorry to say that i have zero updates on 'men'. anonymous reader... i did have coffee with Lance Dalbey last weekend and it was nice! still just really good friends, sorry to disappoint you! I've been hit on a couple times by some very random guys (one of which was 5'2). i've been told by many peeps that they cant believe i am still single. and i have about 3 girls on the ball team that are arranging blind-dates...or so they say they are! so....maybe next time i'll have some juicy updates. but for now-.... life is what life is.
