No Longer Frustrated

The battle over me'ness and singleness on top of school, work, ministry, and EVERYTHING else I have to deal with is really starting to make me reconsider some things.  First of all, girls should have more than one thing going for them if you want to sit down, and actually spend time with them - face to face, in the dating world.  Second, I have to get organized.  I don't enjoy being a slob, and as far as prioritizing goes - I don't give myself an ounce of credit for past success in keeping tidy.  I simply let things slide and say "I'll get to it AFTER my school work is completed."  And by the end of the week, or whenever, there is nothing but a pile of misery to look at.

I no longer wish to say good night to the stuff that's preventing me from growing, maturing, and living a life in joy.  I want to kick those things out of my life - and I know I can't do it alone.  Besides seeking God, reading my Bible, and spending a lot more time in prayer, I NEED to be around people who will encourage me to make wise decisions.  I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by loving people at the Anglican Chapel.

School and all it's duty calls for now.

Till next time,
Joshua here.

This is Fun

I hope someone can hear the sarcasm in my inaudible tone.  Honestly, this is the fourth time I've tried to give myself a little place in cyberspace, but how on earth am I to come to any place where I'm completely satisfied with what it is I'm trying to convey?  Content, purpose, and discipline all play a role in media.  They're all extremely important.  From there, I guess one can consider their audience.  Having an "anything goes" sort of page can be a little slippery, and I want to take concrete steps with trying to share my life as well as looking outwards to the people that I encounter.

I've also got a kick to do something like this as a result of preaching my first sermon, which is supposed to take place next Tuesday.  I'll be preaching on Matthew 9:9... what should our response be when Jesus calls us to "Follow" and I believe we have to actively and continuously seek an authentic spiritual change in our lives.  Today is Monday, and that can only mean one thing: I'm procrastinating and I need to get off this website.

Anyway, peace and love be with you.
