Focused & Poised for Results

Feb 07, 2006 23:28

Yes the level of focus is on the rise and have been poised for significant growth. Through my own initiative I am getting to a place that I am comfortable to share with others about. There aren't those reservations in my life that I don't mention to those I respect. I've prioritized my values and beliefs and have really put them to the front, not allowing them to take a back seat to my comfort and pleasure. I've rid myself of the inward thinking of the immoral masses of my demographic. Looking through the ranks of college you're hard pressed to find those students with real focus on what really matters, real substance that can't be compared to even with the finest material possessions. Sure comfort is nice, but for the most part along with comfort comes laziness and sin. I feel that students and youth for that matter don't look at themselves because they fear what they will see. They feel that it's something that they will not like, so as a result they shelter themselves by surrounding themselves, with those that cloud their vision and allow for them to sin in fellowship with each other. They never look to be challenged and rise to a higher level of being. They're resolved with mediocrity and are shoveled in with the immoral masses. Yea I know it's a pathetic state of life in colleges around America and the world for that matter. People don't like what challenges them, they like the easy road, without conflict and without ultimate resolution of their immorality. This laziness is despicable in my opinion, it only furthers the undermining of our generation, and I for one am not going down without of fight. I'm not going to be taken down with those that seek inward pleasures. I am going to strive to rise above it and make my mark and prove myself a worthy Christian, someone deserving of respect, and someone that can look back on their life and be proud, knowing that they served the Lord and did their best to bring praise to Him and understand the sacrifice of His son.

Well needless to say this will not be something easily attained there are those afraid of conflict, afraid to see what they truly are. There are those that refuse to speak on religion and the morality of society as a whole. They know that they don't measure up to the bar, and aren't striving to live a life by the word of God, they know they've lost their way. It's up to them to be challenged and take that challenge and live an honorable life worthy of a servant of the Lord. I guess I'm just sick and tired of seeing this generation squabble all that is given to them and sin in the face of all the blessings that they have received. I'm learning to let go of problems of this Earth, knowing that justice will be attained and that everyone receives the blessings or curse that they deserve in the end. I've spoken in the past with Irv, on the idea of free practice of religion in our time, realizing the fact that many don't understand or appreciate the freedom that this country has when it comes to religion. We're not restricted to one religion, we are not restricted from practicing our religion, we are blessed with a gift of freely honoring our Lord, without consequences. Yes I am well aware of the run-on sentence, and I'm ok with that, guess you're just going to have to deal with it.

Frustration is the hour and determination is the focus. I am rising to the level and I challenge all my readers to take the same challenge, which I know that about 90% of you already have. Don't be content with mediocrity, it only encourages laziness and in turn allows for sin. Something certainly in surplus when it comes to college. I've addressed various aspects of my life and have adjusted them accordingly to how I believe the Lord would view them. I've made the necessary changes and look to continue my progression into the house of the Lord, God willing of course.

On a side not, making the journey back to the homestead this weekend. Needless to say looking quite forward to seeing those of you that I care so much for and that have driven me to excel in my spiritual journey. Also, am going to be assisting with my sister's baby shower, how often is it that you find a guy excited about that. I'm looking forward to the challenge and joy of being an uncle. I'm Uncle Pookie to little Michael, but I'm looking forward to shedding that title for the plain old role of Uncle Dan. And yes seeing the love of my life Monica is always a selling point for going home. Irv not sure if you're still reading my entries, nevertheless I will do my best to make some time to visit, looking for another challenge to motivate me and enjoy in fellowship. And of course it wouldn't be a visit home without some conversing with the ever so wise Grandma McHutchion.

So things are well I have my channels of intellectualism on both fronts both at college(Jeremy, Josh, and His House) and at home (Irv, Grandma McHutchion, My Pops, and the list goes on). My blessings are abound and I shall not take them for granted. God Bless, and good evening.
