[He] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
—Philippians 2:7–8
According the worldly status, Christ was not successful.He did not have wealth, power, popularity, not even respect, and he only had a handful of friends. Yet, we all look up at Christ and try to lead a life like Christ's. WHY? What is it about Jesus that we all admire and want?

| Wow...has it been that long since my last posting here???
It felt great to be back at church this past Sunday and then out with friends that I haven't seen for a while. Just going to church and chilling afterwards really put a smile on my face. It's been kinda of a downer working on wednesdays, fridays, and sometimes sundays and not having the chances to go to church and fellowship. Even going to the beach. It just seems that work keeps getting in the way. Works been great and all but at what costs and sacrifices. I use to think that working to get ahead means a lot especially since I am almost finishing school in Aug. But not going to fellowship and church just seems to be taking its toll on me.
Here are my new goals lined up until I get a full time job or possibly go back to school:
1) Meet up with a friend 1 on 1 every week
2) Continue to meet up with Adam (it is now 2x/mo but let's try for 1x/wk...)
3) Go to church every sunday (no matter if I have to work or not) | | |
| I guess when it really comes down to it, if you set your mind to something, anything is possible. All that matters is if you really want it or you really want to do it. I guess I am a really wishy washy type of person and I do things when I feel like doing them. That means that I can be really eager to do something or just be plain lazy.
Lately I find myself being more lazy than anything. I am glad that I accomplished a semester of Sunday School and EE class but yet I am not celebrating that fact that I did it. I should also be happy that I accomplished all the goals that I set for myself this year. Yet I am not. I am not really pleased with myself. I am not really happy. I dunno...
I guess that if I pushed myself and set new goals, at least I won't be lazy.Those who read this, I hope you can hold my accountable. So here are my goals.
Goals
====
1) Finish the NT
2) Continue to go to Sunday School
3) Don't miss fellowship or Sunday service (unless sick or emergency)

| Thoughts on devo taken from CrossWalk:
Today's devo talked about educating ourselves so that we are capable of reading and understanding what the bible says. The first thing that came to my mind when I read today's devo is..."Why am I so lazy to...do God's work?" How often do we come home from work/school and say to ourselves "I am too tired." and turn on the tv or go take a nap? How often do we put aside God for our own simplistic needs? I'm guilty.
On Sunday evening as I was sitting in my Evangelism Explosion class, I found it funny that all of us couldn't recite the "script" that we were suppose to memorize by now. And as I sat there listening and trying to remember, I couldn't help but look back at my so called hectic week and I asked myself "how hectic was it really?" It's odd how I signed up for this class and became devoted to go to the class, yet, for some reason, I was devoted to do the homework that needed to be done. I guess I got lazy and/or put it off till the last minute.
Then I started to wonder about my Christian life. "Was it the same way???" I thought to myself. Have I been "wishy washy" and have been doing things half-hearted? So I guess the questions that I want myself and you to reflect is...
1) Why am I so lazy that I can't even spend 5 min with God?
2) Am I doing God's work half-hearted?
3) What's preventing me from doing God's work with job and willlingness?
AM I TOO LAZY TO BE A PROCRASTINATOR??? | | |
| Matthew 16: 1-12
Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
The question is...How often to we see God's amazing works and still question Him and His works??? I do! I do! One day it could be like "Wow God! You are amazing!" and the next it'll be like "Where are you God? Where are you when I need you?". Do you get like that at times?
