Looking back at the first six months of 2010 there has been goals that's been met and there were disappointments and there were gladness. I've made a list beginning of the year, and so far I'm a little behind schedule. However, there's still plenty of time. This summer will be an exciting/interesting one. There are certainties and uncertainties in life and this next half of 2010 has a lot with the next 5 or 10 years of my life. It's not like every doesn't have to do with the future. This year will just be the basis of my mid to late 20's. There's no expectations, there's just pure vision and plans based upon results and observations. Oh so I love to be vague!
There are a few who knows what's up, and there are those few who tries and guess. There's also plenty of those who just makes assumptions. I dislike it; however, it's a human trait. We pray that God will lead us the way. That God will lead us to His cross. It's never easy what God is telling us. Even if it's already in front of us. Sometimes we just don't see things as good as our Father in heaven. That's why the focus should be on Him and not on ourselves nor to others. I give myself to my creator. I give my emotions, my frustrations, my feelings, my likes and dislikes to Jesus. He's just that big. He can take it all. I mean He died for everyone's sins. Everyone! And for me to be sitting here writing about this year and the blue print of my life, etc. I just build what He has written down.
I read and grasp His message everyday and make sure that I'm on tract. But how do I know that I am? For example, learning to play the guitar this summer is something that I wanted. Can it glorify Him. Yes... I was going to write down, eventually. However, looking at the time spent being productive and having the thought of perhaps playing music and worshiping God someday would be amazing. Also consider the fellowship that will be happening with my teachers and whoever I come across with. I see things very distinctively compared to a normal eye. My brain's just weird.
So I am happy to be away for some rest and recreation. Oh how I wish I can just leave anywhere on this earth and know that I can come back anytime I want as well. It seems like this world's so big, but it isn't really. I'm super tiny, and this earth's not even that big at all compared to whatever's out in the galaxy. I feel special because I have this thing that I would like to call LIFE. It's a gift meant to treasure. This guy's not going to waste it on a stupid tv show, video games, fast cars, facebook, etc. "Do not be drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit" Ephesians 5:18.
Sure, things of this world could be used to fill us in the Spirit. It's a choice that people make. A decision that we make. The will to choose is what separates us from everyone else. I could see someone telling me that he/she loves God and be watching their favorite shows everyday. That's totally fine. Is it for me? Yes. I am in love with sports, music, and arts. Sometime my attention's very much into it and that I don't really know what God thinks about it. And that's where conviction comes along. Somehow, I wake up in the morning thinking all the time of how can I be a change to my house, my community, my world, and myself. I have a tangible to-do list and a mental to-achieve list. To make a difference, a positive one. To a very small thing like holding my temper, picking up a trash, letting someone in traffic, being kind hearted to a stranger, a spontaneous prayer in the bathroom. I just want to be a man of integrity.
There can't be enough advice other than what's in the bible. The second half of 2010 is going to be what it is going to be. There will be good, and there will be bad. The only difference maker is that my faith, character, and heart will not be taken away from me. I'm just stacking chapters into my life. Which is already amazing. Hopeful that there's more tomorrow!
