It has certainly been a while since I posted much of anything on this site, even though I've enjoyed commenting on what you guys have to say about life and such.
This will actually be my last posting for some time because I've decided to go (pause for dramatic emphasis) offline...
I feel as if each hour I spend on this thing, in effect doing nothing, is another hour of my life I could have spent doing something that would glorify God. And honestly in the 18 years I've spent on this earth, I have yet to find anything else that makes as much sense as living for God. Everything else just seems so meaningless in comparison to seeking a relationship with the one who created me and loves me unconditionally. Its weird, because I'm such an analytical person and from the outside looking in Christianity seems somewhat illogical, but I've yet to find anything in my reading, studies, or talks with others that is more genuine or logical then the Bible and this man called Jesus.
And no matter how many times I've walked away to try something different I've always returned because I've never been more at peace or had as much joy and passion about life as when I'm walking with God.
And I want to be passionate about something again. I want to have goals and ambitions and strive for them with all my heart. I want my life to be active...instead of being stuck in the mind-numbing passiveness I've felt of late. "Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established." Proverbs 16:3
And I know the only way anything is going to change is if I make the decision to start changing things.
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2
So this is my first step. I am going to go offline for the summer. I would love if you guys would keep me in your thoughts and prayers and feel free to call me anytime (512) 431-5199, whether its to hang out or just to talk.
Good luck to all of you who are graduating and to you who are still in highschool...remember to keep sight of your dreams, don't listen to anyone who says you can't do something or who tells you that you're not good enough...there are a lot of people who believe in you and you can do anything and everything you strive for.
I love you all!
