I had two people ask me if I was suffering from a case of the Monday's today. I suppose I was. Both of the attorney's I work for were out of the office, and I was answering the phone and updating files. I have a feeling I'll be bombarded with things to do tomorrow since they'll probably both be playing catch up. It's cool though. I really like the office I work in. Everyone is so nice and even though I don't have a window, I can enjoy the view of the Skytower from my boss's office or in the bathroom (yes, you read that correctly). The company provides coffee, tea, crackers, cookies and cheese. I've really been enjoying my 20 minute morning tea (cheese and crackers are my new favorite snack!). I also get an hour lunch break, which in a way can be a bad thing as I'm downtown in the middle of a thousand shops.

I'm still reading Captivating. I'm trying to take my time through it because there is so much in it. Just today I was reading about how Jesus romances me. I've begun to realize that I'm not making enough of a sacrifice to pray. I'm normally running late in the morning (I catch the 6:55 train) and I attempt to pray on the train, but it's just too distracting. Ironically, Stephanie just asked me if I wanted to start praying with her some mornings. She catches the trian that leaves 5 minutes before mine, so I'm hoping that this will help me become more disciplined. Stupid snooze button.

I only write things about my spiritual walk because I know it's the only way anyone back home will know what's going on with me. It is too easy to pretend things are fine, give the right answers and never really let anyone know what's really going on. I don't want to be like that. I want to be vulnerable. I want you all to know what I'm feeling and where I'm at with God.

I've been giving a lot of thought about my walk with God. If I don't have a decent quiet time, I can tell. Something's definitely missing, but it doesn't mean I'm any less of a Christian. I think so often if I mess up, I blame myself and think I'm failing. I believe that if I can start looking at this on a more positive note, I won't feel as if I can't go to God since I've screwed up. Maybe my brain works differently from some, but that's how I work.

Well, I think I am going to go research some more places I want to go to in NZ. I'm going to try and plan some weekend trips soon now that I have a job. I still need to post some more pics. I'm such a slacker!

I hope everyone is doing well!
