"Because I can take it..."?

After the last blog entry, I dunno what you guys (or "readers") think about me. I suppose I should be more like most other bloggers and give you an actual update to my life.

I'm still waiting on my (re)application for seminary to fall through. There is a bit of a delay waiting on a reference, such a feeling of deja-vu... Just like the first time. Haha, complete with the job hunting too. I need to step that up a notch too, admist getting some other things done that I normally didn't get a chance to finish the year before.

Taking a semester off in the second half of the summer for softball was good. Gave me a chance to unwind and also keep up with my fitness level. It was also an interesting experience leading a younger team this year. It was good, because more people could make it to pratice, at least at first. It's tough running a team when people are not euthusiastic or able to attend team events. My younger brother was also on my team this year which is a first. He also won the Most Improved Player award and I'm proud of him making it to the pratices and improving as much as he did considering he's never played softball before. I guess buying him the cleats through my hook-up to the Nike sale was a good idea also. ;)

Haha so much S-ball talk... I am finding with my new church's general enthuaism for CCSA/softball and our humble history of MAT and other awards etc... that if you love Softball, it's gotta be RHCBC... ;) I haven't forgotten my own humble softball beginnings... from being someone who initially didn't even want to play because of the hot weather and all and some of the years of summer we've had recently, except maybe for this one, it's being pretty hot at times... In my own CCSA year it was kind of cloudy during... LOL... "cloudy" eh... most of my games, so it really wasn't that bad. HAHA I should have been playing CCSA this year... it's an Urbana year... "It is... tradition..."

I've realized something today, that I need to go back to singing "Christian worldview" songs more. I was trying to sing a few today when I was walking to the mailbox and trying to call a friend of mine but ended up with "other half" instead. I first was trying to put out Wind Beneath My Wings, but didn't really remember all of the lyrics... then I was trying to get Power of Your Love, but that was a "fail" also... ended up doing more of a medley in the end, a mixture of the verse of You're All I Want with the chorus of Power of Your Love... In other words, something like this...:

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm A Friend
You are my desire
No one else will be
Cos no one else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm A Friend
You are my desire
No one else will be
No one else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I’ll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love
