A post! Woohoo!

Hey folks! Sooo… it’s been a while since my last post.  Whoops! Hope all you avid blog watchers haven’t been too worried and concerned with the absence. And if you have, then I’m sorry. Really, I mean it. Like, seriously. For reals. (You get it?) Life has been great though. I’m realizing more and more every day it seems that I am never going to stop learning and growing throughout my life. God has been revealing so much to me in so many ways.  I’m blessed by the people in my life who challenge me in this never-ending endeavor. One thing specifically is that I am striving to become more intentional in all that I do – more intentional with my schoolwork, with friends, with my job, with my relationship with God, everything. This is no easy undertaking for me either. It’s difficult, quite difficult actually, but the rewards are immeasurable. It’s a daily thing, too, one that I wake up every morning and ask God to help me with. I want to do things with conviction and purpose, to be a man who is passionate about the things of the Lord and who actively seeks His will in all the he does. I don’t want to sit back and wait for things to come to me, allowing apathy and a lack of motivation to dictate the way I live my life. I don’t want that. At all. It’s a process, and this is the start. I’m excited.

Things in the wing have been going great lately. We just had a super awesome wing event in the form of a Toga Party. That’s right, a Toga Party. What exactly is that, you ask? Well, simply put it involves a bunch of guys dressed in draped bedsheets, eating grapes, bread, and cheese, watching the Gladiator, and having the time of their lives! Hmmm…. maybe not the time of their lives, but you get the point. I’ve really been trying to implement that desire to be more intentional to the way I do my job as an RA, and so far I’ve seen a lot of good things come from it. Again, it’s tough sometimes, but worth it. There are so many times where all I really want to do is crawl into bed and sleep pretty much forever. Oh what joy that would be!!! But alas, I can’t. Life won’t let me right now. One day…

Right now I’m enjoying the calm before the storm. Or trying to. Said storm will hit approximately the day I return from Thanksgiving Break and last through the end of the semester. Oh boy. I keep reminding myself that I’ve only got one more semester of this before life officially begins and that I can suck it up until that point in time. Until I write again, grace and peace to you all. Thanks for reading.
