Steady Studying

I'm tired of studying... and school... As you might notice though, my hair and beard are getting longer. I'm making an attempt to make myself less desirable to those of the opposite sex... Not that I really had a problem with that before, I just am trying to remove the distractions in my life... Shaving and cutting my hair take up a significant portion of my time and they're something that I really don't have to do. I really just do them to make myself as desirable as possible to those on the other side of the gender gap. With school and Nuru and most of all Jesus, I really don't have time to focus on relationship right now, so why put the effort into something that I can't have and don't really want right now... Jesus talks about cutting parts out of your life that are keeping you from fully glorifying Him and I want to live fully engulfed in Him! If the hair and beard become on of those things for me they'll be the first to go but right now they are here for a while so get used to them:-)

Peace and love,

Sickness!!!

I am sick.... As if the picture didn't give that away..lol... I'm just sitting here in so.zo trying to pass my germs on to the rest of the world. Well, that isn't really my intention.. I'm just here for the amazing free-trade coffee:-) but I'm pretty sure I am passing on my germs in the process.

Super Blessed!!!

I'm just sitting here doing a little Bible reading at the Zen Clay Cafe, and I was looking around and I kinda just realized that I am blessed beyond anything I could have ever imagined! God provided me with enough extra financial aid to get my first new computer in almost 5 years, which is in the picture above. I have also been blessed with an amazing group of friends, I know I've blogged about them before, but they are great! I have my health, a car, a decent job, 98% of an accounting degree, and a family that cares about me. I get so wrapped up in daily life sometimes that I forget to step back and just thank God for the little things.

Anyway, back to reading! Just wanted to write a few lines about what I was thinking. I promise I'll get around to the accountability post soon!

Love and Prayers,
Derek
