external processing

how is it possible that my life ended up this busy??? I'm doing this stuff:

  • 20 hrs of research a week
  • prison ministry on thursday nights
  • small church every tuesday night
  • 4 classes plus homeworks
  • uganda water project
  • maintain relationships with friends
  • homeless ministry friday nights
  • relationship with my Father
  • bunch of little stuff

i get no exercise, no rest, no sleep...but i'm learning alot, and i'm fairly happy...

But I need to bring it back to priorities:

Number 1: relationship with God. If I don't get my time in the morning with Him, everything else is a waste of time. Everything has to revolve around this....i have to fight everyday to make sure I get my hour with Him. It's a war, and i have to win it.

Number 2: school.. need to be responsible to what God has called me to...the team I'm working with is doing amazing stuff - they seem to be the only people at Baylor that are doing anything useful, but i'm glad to be a part of it! it's a huge priviledge to work with them and learn everything that I am. however, this does mean i have to say no to my friends alot.

Number 3: the Church... being part of it in Waco, what that means.. Church is Christian friends, non-Christian friends, witnessing, outreach, sunday worship, accountability, prayer...

As long as I can keep this all in mind, i'm going to be ok!
