Moving On

Me: ready to take on the world...


All the seniors here at Evangel are talking about how much they are going to miss Evangel and how they never want these years to end...I'm right there with them, but I can't help but wonder the plans that God has in store for me. I am spending the summer here and I know that it will be fun, but I also know that if I stick around Springfield too long, I'll get caught up living in the past, wanting to be back in school again. I don't want that. I need to make my own way and explore new possibilities. Just because what I'm experiencing right now is completely new and foreign to me doesn't mean that I should be afraid of it. Yes I will miss my friends, but I can make new ones, get a fresh start, and begin to actually live the life that I spent 16 years in school for. I'm looking forward to it! Here I come world...be gentle with me.

Sometimes I wish that people would show me half of the consideration and care that I show them. There is nothing more frustrating to me than not having consideration reciprocated. Sometimes it feels like people don't even care. Society is too wrapped up in its own little world to care about anyone else. Well I've got news for everyone: there are other people out there. Get your head out of your butt and actually do something for someone else once in a while. Don't be a sponge that soaks up everyone elses kindness, return it. Take time to really think about the thought and consideration that people pour into your life:
  1. Friends
  2. Family
  3. Co-workers
  4. Teachers
  5. Pastors

Let them know you care. You'll both be glad you did.

Change 2

On the other hand, change can be just what you need: closure. Closing a chapter in your life, only to open a new and better one...

Change

I used to look forward to change. I longed for it. I've always been a restless person. I can't stand to stay at a restaurant for more than a couple of minutes after my food has been eaten. Change. Why do circumstances have to change? Why is it completely different everytime I go back to my hometown? Change. How am I so close to some people one semester, and so completely disconnected from them the next? Change. I know change isn't always bad. Everywhere I've lived I have grown, learned life experiences, and become a better person because of change; but I just want something to stay the same. I need an anchor in my life. A firm foundation. Something solid and consistent I can hold on to. Something everlasting...unchanging.

My Wife

Meet Helga, my former (ex)


If you've ever spent any amount of time with me, you know that I speak of my future wife quite often. I've set some standards for my wife. Well one, actually. My wife must be super ugly so no other guy is attracted to her. I'm a selfish, jealous dude. I want her all to myself, even if it means I'm not attracted to her.
