All Things New
I have had some people asking me about my blog. So here goes…
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and there have been some pretty cool things going on in my life since the last post. I’ll try to give you the readers digest version. I came to the conclusion a couple of months ago that I am in fact an adult now. Please hold your applause till the end… And that I was still living like a teenager. So I decided that some things were definitely going to have to change.
~~ I quit smoking about 7 weeks ago now.
~~ I moved to a nice little one bedroom apartment in Round Rock, that’s close to work and close to Jeremy’s house. The coolest thing about moving though is that I got rid of about half of all my stuff and now everything has a place where it belongs and I am keeping my place clean and uncluttered.
~~ I was tired of feeling unhealthy and tired all the time and I have started to eat healthier, drink more water, drink less alcohol, and exercise. Now I need to start going to bed on-time and get more sleep.
~~ My old church was a really large church and there weren’t very many people my age there. I felt pretty lost in the sea of people, and nobody would notice if I was there or not. Most of the time I was not. I’ve started going to a new church that is smaller and has more people my age. I’m getting connected with some really cool people that are really following Jesus and it is very encouraging.
~~ I have also just started reading a really cool book called Soul Revolution. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it. It is written by John Burke, who founded Gateway Church in Austin. The idea behind the book is ” What would happen if you made a conscious effort to connect with God at least once every hour for sixty days”? With a goal of really connecting with God in real conversation continuously throughout the day instead of having some memorized prayer that you say x number of times a day at certain times. It’s called the 60/60 challenge. I will probably be blogging more about the 60/60 challenge in the near future.
So that is my life in a nutshell right now…
Oh yeah, and I typed this whole blog post on my iPhone while driving about 3 mph and watering grass.
Soul Revolution rocked my world man! I loved that book because it was the first thing I had ever read that totally acknowledged that scumbags like me have a purpose and aren’t a lost cause. It was really inspiring to read about some of the things that I had been through, but in the stories of others. Awesome!
