Procratinating yet again...
I have a paper due Monday, and two more due on Tuesday, so you would think I would be a little more motivated to do my work than I currently am. I mean, it is just hanging over my head right now, stressing me out, so why don't I want to do it?
I feel like this a lot in my walk with God. I neglect prayer for a while, or skip my quiet time for a day or two, and things pile up and eventually I can't remember the last time I really spent time digging into my Bible for real spiritual food. This only worsens my downward spiraling relationship with God, which then serves to discourage me from starting back up again. I wait until my confidence in my faith is circling the drain, before I cry out for forgiveness. This definitely seems like a pretty messed up relationship, and one that I would not enjoy this if the roles were reversed.
So, there's a little look into my current thoughts and whatnot. So, does anyone know a cure for procrastination? 'Cause I could certainly use one about now...

So, this past week was not as relaxing as I thought it would be. But I definitely enjoyed being at home. It was a great break from the daily grind of school. I already have spring fever pretty bad, and I don't think it will improve any between now and the end of the semester. We'll see how it goes.
My friend George just showed me an incredible climbing video.
This guy is ridiculous.

Spring Break!
I'm looking forward to a week of no classes.
Hopefully everyone else has as awesome of a week as I'm expecting.

Check, Ch-Ch-Ch-Check It Out
I am finally pretty much done for this week as far as classes go. I mean, I actually have three tomorrow, but there's nothing due, and looking at the syllabi, it should be an overall easy day. Then BCM, then I'm heading home, for the first time this semester. Last weekend was a rough one with papers and studying for tests earlier this week, so I'm ready to go home and relax.
I also found a great resource for when I'm feeling a little down (this weekend it was from writing so much). Craigslist Rants and Raves. They're incredibly hilarious. And a pretty effective self-confidence boost. A lot of those people can't form complete thoughts, much less clear, understandable sentences. It really makes me feel better about myself, especially since I usually think I'm a bad writer.
And here's just a pretty sweet video I found on YouTube. Check it out and be glad it isn't you.

Where to?
It is hard when things start to change. I'm open to advice on this one, if any of the 1 or 2 people who read this have an opinion.
God asked me to commit to a ministry, so I did, and I did so whole-heartedly (sp?). But I no longer feel like it is what I'm supposed to be doing in the future. I'm having trouble discerning whether it is my own personal preferences or if God is telling me that I've played my part in this particular place. I also have to keep in mind that I committed for the duration of the school year. It has really been bothering me over the past few days, and I don't seem to be moving any closer to a resolution. So any advice or feedback would be awesome. Or prayer. That's pretty important too.
