Waking up to the glow of the sun on my face,

I hear the whispers of my lifesong playing.

Smell of fresh roasted coffee escaping the coffee press to rescue my new day,

I take a moment to reflect and recount my greatest need in life… Jesus.

I am free.

Free to conquer the world. Free to spend today’s eternity for Him.

Every worry I share. Every heart ache I ask for healing. Every sin, I go once again to the Cross.

People? They exist to share in these moments with me. A community that experiences the reality of depravity. Yet, a family that will Together go along with you, never leaving you, always supporting.

I wish my life was like this…

I wish it wasn’t a lie. I wish I won’t grow jaded. I wish my heart will be sustained.

Sometimes I feel that in age I am growing, but in heart, I am just aging.

Life will always have its issues and problems, but only a deeper and greater Trust in Jesus resolves all these things. It is life’s greatest X-Factor.

Keep trusting my friend. Jesus really is the answer for the world today.

1. Jesus being the only way… in relation to other more acceptable major beliefs.

2. Practical family issues: spanking kids, husband/wife roles

3. Tolerance with what is preached…

These are the things they say we’ll face in the next 20 years… Just thinking about how I need to have firm convictions from Scripture with all of these key issues… to the point where I would be willing to go to jail!

here we go…

1. Went to Tony and Jenny’s wedding! Tony’s 2 songs were sickkkk. That’s every womans AND man’s dream!

2. Ate at BBQ Hut in Schaumburg. We ate so much food… definitely one of those, once-in-a-semester deals. I still felt the meat the next morning. awesome.

3. CFC sunday sermon on Jonah 1. Rebuking preaching about loving to obey God’s will just like Jesus, not like Jonah.

4. Orlando vs Cleveland game. haha Cavs lost!

5. Memorial day lunch with some boys at Cho Son Oak… hits the spot every time!

6. send off service sermon about no, yes and wow. What a great perspective on what it really means to be happy.

7. And to top it off, had some Maxwells on the way down to champaign. 3 out of staters never tried so we HAD to stop by. But man, I felt it hardcore around Gilman…

and now… missions training all week!

GOD is good!

Again, I am reminded of how weaksauce I am. I hope to blame the cause of this to our internet and fast-everything generation but that would be too cowardly.

If I over-excert myself too much for one day, I am wasted the next day. Immobile. Cranky. Complaining. Whining like a baby.

How will I ever persevere and be a man?! geez!

I have to admit, my generation is probably more innovative and faster at everything but it’s nothing compared to the days when living was all about brute will and suffering-worn strength. Things just come by way too easy…

Anyway, I just feel like a weak coward these days. I really need to snap out of it. There’s just so much to live for and do!

yeah, so I guess these days that’s why I keep muttering, “Lord forgive me…” My sins are just way too many…
