Waking up in a different city every couple of days ...

i just got back a week of traveling to various cities for job interviews and such ... it was definitely an interesting trip, eye opening and tiring =) ... as i looked back waking up at a different city every couple of days was definitely interesting ... one day i was in the Town square of Sugarland south of Houston, then back to College Station, then flying out to Portland,OR and then out in a corn maze outside of Cornelius,OR was definitely fun =)

Several things that stood out to me this last week ...

1. Keep my head straight -> remembering that glorifying God and advancing His kingdom at the forefront of my thought, whether it is meeting people at various places or looking for a job/career, it should be about His Kingdom, and yes advancing it through love and the grace of God through Christ !! (and building His church !)
   
2. See from His point of view -> i was driving to downtown portland for a dinner on friday night, the song "Give me your eyes" by Brandon Heath was played just about 3 times (almost consecutively) on three different radio stations (oddly enough ...). The gist of the song is about seeing people from God's point of view, and how many times we've missed people's hurt or joy or life because we only see the outside and missed what's going on inside their life/heart ....
3. God is doing miracles in our generation -> even though i wasn't at my church's student retreat this weekend, but my homegroup was ... and i heard about one of the student from my homegroup was healed on the spot at the retreat twice after broken her shoulder (or something like that ...) -> it's amazing to hear and see what God is doing and continue to answer prayers !!

and ...
well if you are interested ... i'm discovering some good music too
Brandon Heath -> What If We -> London ; Give me your eyes.
i guess a lot of people have heard of him ... but i'm just discovering some good stuff that he got.

The Ting Tings -> Great DJ / We started Nothing -> Great DJ ; Shut Up and Let me go
hmm ... interesting band ... i was introduced to the Ting Tings through iTunes, they have some fun techno ... rock .... funk ? music ... great to get yourselves jumping up and down....

also .... Tokyo Police Club (reviewed by Relevant Magazine ...) , The Wombats (Dance to joy division is brilliant !! ... and i guess they're from Liverpool ...), that's about it for now =) )

well -> til next time ... maybe i will post some pictures ...

love y'all.
Daniel.
