Lets keep going
oh my goodness, hello there kaleo friends. Well Michelle it's great to her about your marriage, I would love to be out on the island and join in. It would be fantastic! Unfortunatly it is not going to work. Yes life sucks at times we can't do everything we want,can't be more than one person. I'm excited for you though! I like how your doing the hole hike thing. Hopefully I'll make it out to the west coast again sometime in life, as for now I'm on the east side currently in Canada.
I like Canada! How about you? Yeah...it has been good taking long treks on the bike to and from Hamilton and my home. I like the farm seen and its just alot more quiet, and not so closed in like the cities. Solo time seems a lot more doable. I'm on my vaction from NY and I've been part timing at a bike coop my friend started in Hamilton ON. Its been great fixing up these old bikes and bringing them back to life for mostly the poorer comunitee. But this won't last long I'm soon heading back to NY for their summer camp and then be rolling on into fall semester.
I'm so far not totally looking forward to going back. It's um difficult for me being in the city all the time. I'm also usually working with alot of females, so males you all know how that can be. Life has its series of highs and lows, and it gets frusterating and annoying at times trying to fight through it all and learn from it. Yeah I don't excatly feel all passionate and excited about going back to NY. But at the same time I do beleieve God wants me there and I do believe he continiues to teach me important things as I stay. Sometimes we really do have to tell ourselves to suck it up, and keep going.
Last semester I wanted to be a better man for the team, have integrity and get better at remebering kids names. I do thank God for what he has done, I've made alot of new connections on my site and grown in others already started. I think I have to remind myself that its not like I'll ever really "achieve" these goals or suddenly its like ok boom I have it now. First of all each day is a new test/chance /opportunity of it's own. You can do so well one day, and the next day totally blow it. And second of af all you can always learn more, improve more, grow more. But um, in all this I really want to try maintain myself, find my level of life and yet somehow walk in the spirit wich brings me behond myself, but then not burn myself out. To do all this work of the Lord with the Lord. I sometimes really wish it was easy, and wish it I could just get it, and understand. But...
Nothing great ever comes easy...so if it its easy it may not be that great.
Enjoy kaleo friends and whatever you are doing, don't give up. God help us!

arlz!!! thanks for sharing what's going on in your life. I liked what you said at the end especially, how the good things dont come easy. It's kind of encouraging.. and definitely very wise. I'll pray that God helps you out in ny and leads you where he wants you next. miss you!!
Arlan it means a lot to all of us when people put a post up that is so honest and true to ones heart and mind at the time. It gives us a good sense of direction in our prayers for one another; as well as encourages us to press on in our own battles. Knowing we aren't the only ones struggling in post-kaleo.
Thank you
