On The Fringe.

Well today, November the 29th... it's been a year since I began my own self evaluation. It's been full of successes, and many many disappointments.

Happy birthday to my sister Lauren. 

This first post might be a little, dull. But it's what I needed to say, and what some people should probably see.

Just to kick things off, Samuel Project students are awsum-e. For real, this weekend at Converge Youth Convention was spectacular, even though there were some hardships we had to get through. However, to know that we pulled together as a team, as friends, and as a family, was simply awesome.

I must say these last few days I've been struggling a lot. Knowing that I've screwed up one too many times and that I've disappointed myself and others along with me, because of my selfish acts.

My self evaluation:

1. I want to say that my life has been easy thus far. It's time that I work on my own personal issues. 
2. This past weekend showed just how upset I can really get, all for the stupidest reasons. 
3. When I argue, sometimes I find out that I'm arguing just so that I can boost my pride, or so I can get a point across to feel better about myself. 
4. I get irritated too easily.
5. I take things too far sometimes.
6. I have lust within me that needs to be taken care of.
7. I take things for granted.
8. I've become lazy.
9. I ignore authority.
10. I realized my parents have always been right about the way I act.

I'm tired of seeing these attributes in my life.  Just when I think I've taken care of them, they've come right back. So to those of you who may be fixing things in your life like I am, just know this...... It's a process.

Knowing that everything is a process is something that I've been trying to get through my head for the last three months. Just remember that, humble your spirit, and pray that God would continue to work in you, shape you, and mold you, into that person that you're meant to be.

But one thing I do: Forgetting what's behind, and focusing on what's ahead. Pressing towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me.
