Almost tomorrow...


My recent discovery of a "sweet" something new has gotten me hooked. I am not at all imbarassed to say what it is either. Gilmore Girls is a great show and I started watching it right from the start today. Episode 1 thru 5 hahah yes five hours. It seems a little intense I guess, if only I could do that with a good book and read for five hours. Reading more is something I really yearn for. Anyhoo this show (Gilmore Girls) is awesome. The characters are great and the neigbours are weird, however they remind me of real people.
Today I went by my sisters house to grab some boxes for my move on Saturday and ended up talking with a couple of Merissa's roomates. I then proceeded home to continue my 5 hour streak of what I am now hooked on. Before I got home I thought about what I read last night at a bible study. I realised that God is so just... He has so much reason and is so powerful in making things happen. I thought about my situation about not being able to go back to school for a year and how I am scared about what this year is gonna have instore for me... I wander about my sanity at work... and the music that I have written and what to do with all the descisions or goals/plans that stream through my head. Ultimately I came to the conclusion that only God knows what will happen with all those things... Only He has control over the outcome in the end.
I seek Him daily and lift problems, praises and issues up to Him becuase He will help me deal with them. It's just a little frustrating to know that I won't be going to school. And I am trying to except that He has a reason for this year... I am just ansy... Oh God knows... He does.

I need more time for me, alone time away from work, and life stresses, but where does one go or what do you do to find such a place or a time to have peace and quiet... In His word? I get distracted with stuff... I need to find a place of solitude. I will succeed... Only with Him guiding me though...

Work is 7 hours away I need sleep, I need to dream.
Listen to the Father speak...

Good night all,
Dan

OJ and Pannekoek


Yes... It's been a long time since I have taken the time to write or rant on this particular blog of mine. I only have two hahah. Anyhow... Today opens the door to a new Era for this Blog and will once agian be awoken from the long slumber which it resided in. My life and anything you've missed since the last blog I wrote can be filled in here on my Xanga.
But for now I will intrigue you with this "Kief" new ERA of BLOG.
What inspired me to do this were a few things or people ...
1. Meghan who uses Blogger
2. My sister who uses both blogger and Xanga
3. My old post from this blog... so crazy reading stuff from back then
4. yeah that's it... I think

So I will write on both, but this one will have different posts then the Xanga, so if you read my Xanga, and can't leave a comment but you reallllly want to and you are a Blogger then leave a comment on this page and vise-versa for Xanger's who read this blog leave a comment on the Xanga.

Now to explain Ye O'le title to this blog...
I came home after an awesome evening at Merissa's place were her roomates( Julie, Nicole , Meghan) and I and a few of my friends (Adam x2 and steph) had a time of worship and just a genuine good time in fellowhip.... It was "kief"( a South-African slang term - kiff, kif, kief - (adj.) cool, neat, great, wonderful (from Arabic, kayf, meaning enjoyment or wellbeing...
I came home and was really wanting pannekoek ( shown in the pixture above). So I made some and drank a sweet glass of orange juice with extra pulp. MMM I love extra pulp.
Now I am full, now I am ready to go to bed and sleep to dream...

I am heading home with Merissa tomorrow to visit our "Rents" and then coming home for a Bible study and time of prayer... God is good and life is singing along...

Have a good night world and sleep to dream...

Blessing,
-Dan
