POOP
man i am so physically, mentally, and spiritually drained. man, if i wasn't living for God, and if he didn't give me strength... i'd give up on my life right about now. evil's still trying to pull me down but i still haven't fallen. if you don't mind, it'd be great if you could pray for me or give me a word of encouragement. fighting for God isn't such an easy task anymore.
lets see, school has been going ok. i decided to give up basketball =0!!! what Josh giving up basketball?! no way!! well, its true, i am giving up the basketball life. of course i'm still going to play basketball just not for organized league. its not so much my interest anymore. life has so much more for me to explore. i think guitar has taken higher priority then basketball now=). And not playing bball gives me a WHOLE LOTS more time for sleep, homework, and most importantly i can focus on God more. i would have the time to prepare for bible studies for church, read, and just learn more about God. i want my realtionship with God to grow even more, but i need time. SO, i sacrifice basketball. ::sigh:: it is important no more =)
Highlight of today: it was after school and i was just messing around with some friends and i ended up talking to a old buddy of mine, ryan, whom ive know since 4th or 5th grade. we talked about guitar before, and today, he asked if i wanted to go to his house so he could teach me. i was surprised since we haven't had much to do with each other since 7-8th grade, the not-so-good-period of my life. i dont know, it was just a shocker that after a time of not really talking and hanging out with him, he still sees me as a friend. what was weird was i had a strong call from God to share The Word with him. A SUPER STRONG FEELING. i'm going to take this oppurtunity, and maybe he'll come to believe in Christ=). i'll bring him to Pho, like christina, maybe he'll like it. hmmmmmmmm
