Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
For several months it has bothered me when my mom has commented about my needing to lose some weight. I knew she was right, but it didn't matter to me until tonight, when I measured myself. I've gained a lot of weight in the past year. This really bothers me. I am always hungry, and I am always bored. These are the reasons I eat.
My spiritual life is a wreck right now. What I care about is singing and looking good, not knowing God. I know I am slipping away from Him, and I am afraid I will never get back. In the morning I am going to get up at 5:00 AM and get ready. Then I will eat breakfast and read a passage from the Bible. Then I will walk . When I get back home, I will write any thoughts I had in my journal. Then I will go to class and pay lots of attention. When I get home, I will relax for a while. Then I will study. At the end of the day, I will write in my journal again about any reflections I have about how my day went.
Lord, in some ways this is a desperate measure. I am not sure how to explain the feelings I have. Part of me doesn't care. Part of me feels tired and like wasting away because it's easier. The other part of me is alarmed by the way my life is going and wants to change. I want this part to win. Please help me to wake up with a desire to spend time walking and talking with You. Help me not to oversleep.
