♪♫The world is watchin' you.
Every day the choices you make
Say who you are and who
Your heart beats for.
It's an open door;
It's your life.♪♫
So, I'm still completely uninspired. Utterly. Completely. So don't get your hopes up about reading something really profound right about now.
Essentially, this weekend has been about homework and making it through the last couple weeks of school. I've expended more creativity and thought this weekend than customarily do in an entire week of school. I. Am. Tired. Of. Thinking. Thus, this wretched post.
Today, we went to church and Sunday school was, per usual, good. Then there was lunch with my grandparents and aunt, and I shopped for some makeup at a sale.
Tonight, I had class and there's where I started thinking. The class was the second class at church for those of us going on the mission trip next month. Really, I've just been thinking about it a lot anyway, but I started thinking more about tonight during class and what it means to be a servant leader and just how I should live day to day.
We were presented tonight with various scenarios that we might encounter on the mission trip. I answered some questions exactly as I believe the situation should have been handled. Characteristically, I was forthright, saying, for example, that in a given situation we should "get a glass of water, paint smile on your face, and suck it up! We all signed up for this, after all!" Then I started thinking: shouldn't we be doing that normally? I mean, I "signed up," so to speak, for the life of a Christian. That means I should be that kind of servant leader all the time. We should be "on a mission trip" every day. After all, the point of a mission trip is spread the Gospel. Shouldn't we be spreading the Gospel to those around us every day? I think so. As Christians, we have to be willing to show God's love everyday. We have to be careful of how we represent God; we might be the only Jesus that a person ever sees.
Anyway, that's what I've been thinking.
Also, I've been thinking about a lot of things in my personal life. I'm starting to think that this summer is going to be a summer of self-rediscover and reinventing. I'm thinking a lot about who I am and how I've become and who I should be. I really want to finally start getting my life in order, and I figure I better start soon. Thing is, I need people that are going to help me with that; I can't do it on my own. I know; I've tried. So, assuming I can find some people that will truly help me and lead me and guide me and stick with me through all the crap that's gonna go down during this journey, that's what I'll be doing this summer.
And, I'll be sleeping a lot and going on a missions trip.
And drinking a lot of coffee.
And blogging.
Anyway.
That's about it.
