Praise God!!…My incredible and generous friend came to me tonight and blessed me with some amazing stuff for my Sara’s Goin’ to Seminary Garage Sale! But you’ll  have to bear with me on this list.  I was never that big into gaming so as I attempt to list them below I know I’m gonna make a fool of myself here so skip the part where you make fun of my ignorance and get straight to salivating over these awesome vintage finds  :)

Two Sega Genesis Consoles with 25 games (including but not all: Captain America, Sonic 2, Hard Drivin’, Krusty’s Super Fun House, X-men, X-men 2, The Pirates of Darkwater, Soldiers of Fortune…trust me the list goes on!)

Sega Nomad (plays same games as Genesis)

Sega Game Gear with 7 games (Bartman meets Radioactiveman, Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic Triple Trouble, X-men: Gamemaster’s Legacy, + cleaning cartridge)

Sega Saturn with 1 game (Virtua Fighter)

GameCom with 5 games (Duke Nukem, Metal Slug…)

NeoGeo Pocket Color (Blue Camo) with 3 games.

Check out the video below that shows a bit more!

I’m an excitable person. But I would like to stop looking forward to things so much so that it depreciates the present moment. And sometimes in order to be my best in a future moment – to be early or to rush to finish a project – I’ll cut corners on the current moment.

It’s important to me to live every day to its maximum potential, but it’s less like painstakingly squeeze every grape, or trying to juice a lemon to the very last drop. Living full is more like taking a big bite out of a juicy apple and taking the time to chew, tasting all of the flavors it has to offer. Even appreciating all of its colors and smells!

I’m so glad that God has given me creative curiosity and He’s teaching me day by day one of the primary reasons I am here is to be here for people. To listen and learn and love them. And through all of this I am able to remember that God has placed me exactly where I need to be, right now.

I’ve been learning to slow down. It’s really a form of trust… to trust God with my time. It makes me flinch just to think of giving that up to Him, because the value of my time is more precious then gold! Time is work, accomplishments, money, relationships… but it’s all His. And when I give over to Him my prized possessions, tangible or intangible, He won’t let me down – I won’t be stressed out, nor will I be unhappy because I have to work instead of being somewhere else – He knows what is best for me.

I am exactly where I need to be.
