dearly loved

have any of you ever heard this song from jimmy needham? it's one of my current favorites even though it came out three years ago. the lyrics are great.

things these past few weeks have been okay. i went to the doctor about my high blood pressure and it turns out that i have elevated cholesterol. i have a prescription for medicine but haven't turned it in yet so i should probably do that. i'm afraid that there is going to be some crazy side effect and i'm going to be screwed. after i return from austin i will definitely start taking it. i should probably turn in the medicine tomorrow when i leave and then start taking it on sunday night. i've been working out everyday and that's been good. today, i actually woke up at 9:30 which is huge! i went to sleep pretty early last night (around 1) and woke up at 9:30 on the dot which is awesome! i like being able to wake up early. i had to force myself to get up.

i have been slacking on my relationship with jesus. i was having lunch with a friend and he was talking about how his faith was always combined with him being in some sort of christian leadership role. well, now i'm not really in a christian leadership role and can't just depend on myself getting by. he said that he wants to know how to just follow jesus and live life. well, currently i'm living life but not following jesus. don't tell me that my faith is so elementary that i need a leadership position to keep me in check. seriously, i don't do anything so following jesus should be easy! maybe if i started talking to him on a daily basis he would help with all my health issues and give me wisdom concerning them. please please be praying and please give me accountability that i would wake up everyday yearning to learn more about him. i need help yall. i'm in texas city and i don't see jesus moving here. i haven't found a church to start attending which is going to be tough. i'm going to try the fellowship soon but we'll see.

i'm pretty hungry so i'm gonna go try and find something to eat. peace out!
