Journal Entry // Feb 18, 2010

Tonight is a Milestone for me. It marks the next chapter in my walk with God but also my own spiritual maturity. It’s time to stop pursuing girls and start pursuing the man God has designed me to become. what does this mean for you? This is an open license to hold me accountable to the highest standard possible, which is that of being like our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The road has already been marked out for me. It doesn’t change who I am, it just means be better, to keep improving. So please, hold me to this standard.

So what’s going to change? What’s on the horizon?

1. Being held to the higher standard.
2. Confidence in who I am. Not arrogance, or pride, but confidence and steadfastness in Christ. If I can’t stand on the Rock, how can I support or carry someone else?
3. Setting attainable goals. Read my Bible every day (including weekends). Fast once a week. Invest in at least 2 guys a week, and it goes on.
4. Becoming the man I want to be, that God’s designed me to be, and my (future) wife needs me to be.
5. Along with that, what Qualities, as a Man of God, do I want to exhibit? Do I want to be more patient, kind, etc.
6. Actively working on my trade and working on my portfolio/resume. Getting ready for the work force to take care of myself and future family.
7. Altogether, pulling myself together, girding my loins, and becoming the man I need/want/will be.

So please. Hold me to this standard. I can’t do this alone. I need your help, and desperately need God’s help. This is a team effort, friends =]
