New Years Resolution


Here are my new year's resolutions... ok. new SCHOOL year's resolutions. If you are a friend and do or want to do any of the following things, please feel free to ask me to do them with you.

I want to paint at least twice every month.
I will run another half marathon in the fall. October 10th, baby!
I want to serve my roommates a meal each week.
I want to plant something and grow it in my room. And no, I'm not alluding to weed.
I want to have a sit down conversation with every guy in my section in the first 9 weeks of school. *This is tough, but MAKE me do it*
I want to attend an event that I've never been to before.
I want to disciple someone this year.


I'm sure there are more.

What are your New School Year's Resolutions? What is one activity that you want to pursue? Please, share!

Hello.



Hello. My name is Seth.
I'm a type-A personality.
I'm extremely organized. Probably too organized.
I rarely miss a homework assignment.
I'm in charge of lots of campus events.
My closet is separated by colors.
My food cupboards are separated by cans, boxes, and snacks.
I love a good agenda and often make daily to do lists.
I've had my life planned since my junior year of high school.

School. Choir tour summer. School. Choir tour summer. Graduate early. Move to school. Choir tour summer. School. Christmas break. School. Cancun.

Wait. Cancun's over. What's next, you ask?
Um...
ehr...
eh...
You know. I haven't thought that far ahead.

Last week I rushed into a decision and accepted a job in Wichita so that I could stay in town, work, and be with my friends. Now, I'm second guessing that decision. I do want to stay in Wichita. I do want to spend time with my friends. I do want to work and earn money. BUT, I do not want to work off campus during the school year.

I want free time on the weekends.
I want to go camping.
I want to host Sale Vale Verde (copyright Sale Vale Panqueques)
I want to do shows.

"I want" all of these things. But what does the Spirit want of me? Did I even stop to consider that before I took all of the necessary steps to pursue this job? Am I being selfish?

Hello. My name is Seth. And I have no idea what I'm doing.
