Motivation Problems
At the moment, I'm feeling a little unmotivated. I have a lot of things that should be motivating me, but there are some other things that are getting the better of me. Two of the things I should be taking care of are job-hunting steps (I'm waiting to hear word from one particular possibility, but it doesn't mean that I couldn't be looking in other places), and I have e-mails to write... One that I consider very important but I haven't found the nice solid block of time that I need to give it proper attention, I hope that the person that it's for will forgive the lateness. But aside from that one, there are gobs of other e-mails that are stacking up again... earlier this week I actually got by inbox down to about 50 messages which is really low for me, but it's back up around 100 again already.
This past Thursday night was a really special night, though... at the Campus Crusade meeting we showed a movie known as "The Jesus Film" and afterwards we had several people who attended indicate that they had prayed to receive Christ into their lives for the first time. You know, it's not about numbers, and we don't measure our success or failure on how many people are "saved"... But it does make it worthwhile to us to know that people's lives are being effect in a positive way by our efforts. We're looking forward to being in contact with these new believers and getting to know them and help them along their path.
Yesterday (Friday night, I mean), I went out to dinner with my housemates for the FIRST time. Amazing, really... for the almost 8 months now that we've been sharing the same apartment... this is the first time we actually went out and did something together... just the three of us. It was nice. Dinner at Tully's and then to Tops to do some shopping...
Today I went to go see Anger Management and then play some boardgames and have some pizza. The movie was pretty funny. A little foul here and there but it had it's laugh-out-loud moments. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but if you're an Adam Sandler fan, it's probably right on target. Afterwards we played San Marco (first time ever for all of us... I had an early lead and it looked like I was on my way toward winning but then my competitors (Noah & Jeff) came back and destroyed me)... and we also played Traders of Genoa and Tiff joined us (for her first time ever) and killed us with a huge score from her prestige cards (for some foolish reason we thought it would be okay to let her get them ALL!... doy.)..
Tomorrow, Sunday, for me is mostly laundry, Capax Dei, and preparation for class on Monday morning.

I totally understand the unmotivation part and the part about having a million e-mails to write. I believe that showing the Jesus Film was your idea, wasn't it? It was a great idea! I'm so glad I got to finally see it and the fact that it touched so many people and helped save at least three is awesome! Thanks for posting an additional comment to Colleen on my site. I hope she comes over to read it. I would suggest putting it on her site as well, but I don't want her to feel like we're attacking her on her turf. Thanks for saying what you did, though. It was a good addition. I had a ton more I wanted to say to her, but I didn't want my comment to be ridiculously long. And I had to get to bed. See you tonight!
