So Although I feel like I have grown in several areas of my life over the past few years, I still never cease to amaze myself in how inconsistent I can remain. No matter what I attempt to become consistent at, I remain inconsistent in almost every important area of my life. So this new year I am going to attempt a few seemingly simple consistencies.
One of these being to write a blog once a week. Every Saturday to be specific it is my objective to give a brief overview of my week and the events that went on. I want this blog to be a place where I can both reflect on my weeks happenings and family and friends can stay up to date on my latest news. This week the first week that of the new year that I am counting since the full week occurred in 2010 is the first week to be documented in my scattered way of keeping records.
It has been quite a week year already and like we have just established it is the first full week of the new year. I have realized this week that I have a lot of growth yet to attain, and that it is a lot harder to inspire growth on your own than it is to be thrown into it unfairly and and unprepared by a needy world. Up to this point in both my spiritual and leadership growth, my growth has been accentuated by the catalyst of a life that demands more of me than I could bring. In the last weeks my life has become considerably less stressful in some areas but in other areas it has left me asking how do I grow now when I feel no real pressure.
As anyone who has read this blog before or knows me, knows, it is that I do not do well at self motivation. I'm not the self inspiring leader that I wish I were. Unfortunately the most growth in my life has occurred when outside forces inspire me to achieve something greater. In this coming year I seek to change this fact about myself. I seek to become ruthlessly self motivated.
This week I have experienced something that I have never been this close to in the 20 year I have been on earth. Three kids in our community were in a car wreck this week, 2 of which I knew well, 1 that I never got a chance to meet. Two of these kids are no longer with us on earth. This is not news that I think anyone is prepared to deal with up close. I have been stretched this week to ask what do I say to someone during these times.
I have realized this last week that no matter how outmatched, underdeveloped, or uncomfortable you may feel in any situation if asked, God is so faithful to give anyone the ability to be the person that God needs you to be. In the coming weeks it is my objective to be all the way there. In any situation I find myself to be in I want to pursue passion in that thing.
There is so much going on in my life right now that I am unable to document everything in this short blog post, but hopefully over the next few weeks I will be able to share a lot of whats happening in my life with ya'll. If you didn't know I am getting married this summer. June 26th to be exact, and I am sure that will be a big part of the news you will read here in the coming months.
Keep it real.
