musings of life

watching the street, as the people pass, only a fairy tale can pass. waiting for a bus, the people walk. stare stare away at the feet of the day, hoping not to trip along the way. they see the light of hte city streets and alas they hope that they might have a little bit left. still waiting amongst the shuffle of time. One gives up, another walks by, until the glisten of the city bus moves by. people dont make eye contact, oh my what a stare that would be in the crisp air. pods of humanity all alone, all with lives of their own. As i watch society, it always intrigues me that thousands of people around me have places to go and people to see. emotions they feel, wants, desires, hopes and dreams. Yet we always consider ours above others. well sure we think that because we're not in their shoes. Its only when we're inspired that we so choose to be involved. If we really believed what we say we believe.... then our lives would be different, so very different. I would hope that my life would be a better reflection of light. Yet we cannot be truly Christ but that was the example modeled for us. Currently i'm working for washington state university and for a non profit at that as apart of my daily activities. Man is that overwhelming. Yet its all about priorities. life is about just that. malawi is currently the 4th poorest nation in the world and yet do we as americans make it a priority? i know i try but thats because i work and try and get partnerships setup with people in malawi and hope that it can make a hiuge differece to the people there. Overwhelmed i might seem but thats because i cant control a darn thing. Waiting and watching is the way i go , sadly not free and easy like dirks bently always said. the other end is responsibility. I am responsible for myself and myself alone yet as soon as others get involved i assume responsibility for them. whether its a room mate or friend, how else do you define responsibility in relationships with other people? makes me wonder what its going to be like to have a relationship and then have to decide and choose and be responsible before her and God. Responsible for work, location, spiritual stuffz, and so much more. As much as Ive gotten overwhelmed and busy, it drives me even further in my needs fro God especially when im so busy i dont have time. it drives me to my knees before God because I know i cant do it on my own. that time is now and it seems so odd, that anxiety can push through such uprising of times. But im ready and willing to face that challenge for yet it is still just God wanting em to grow and have my significance fully in God, for he is the best.

But also I wonder if I should be worring about this as I save money for a car fix up.... Needing firewire with decent capture ability, decent webdesign adaption, and whatnot...

twitter spam?

What do you consider twitter spam and what do you consider a service? There are a lot of automated twitter accounts but I am going to perform an experiment. Using the account @MarketingArmada I am going to provide a marketing service provider and test several "tools" from twitter. Without having a website, I really wonder how much people consider things as a service and actually benefit from it. Thoughts?

Leadership? pensive or gung-ho?

Leadership is an itneresting thing. different styles and different groups and ways of doing things. theres not really a good way or wrong way, but theres ways that work and ways that dont. Its your heart for the group that is important but then your methods you choose to use will either work or not. How then do you stand before your group in good times and bad when your leadership works and when it doesnt? The thing is, if their loyal they will follow in the bad methods and who knows what will happen because of those actions. A servant leader does his best and as his followers submit to his will, so must he submit to humility and prayer and be before the group in a poor spirit

what do we aim for?

So I came to a weird realization. And let me help you follow my train of though. I'm not sure where I'm going in life, but I know I want to change the world. But I relized I don't have desires of a different kind. As I've thought about dating and whatnot, something of note I've come to relize is that its best to be equally yoked. Even past just being christians, our goals and dreams must be equal. Our hearts must have a similar mission and call. Currently I'm writing this from a fundraiser dinner, where the girl has known for years that she wants to go to africa, uganda specifically, and has had this longing and desire for ages. Another gal I know wants to and desires just to go and live in honduras after her degree to work and minister... As I've thought about it, I have no... Great desire to go to other places. Well I don't have much vision for when and where I'm suppose to minister to. I know for now I'm suppose to work on these guys but sometimes I really feel that I'm not doing a great enough of a job. I have been wanting to go back to the west side of the state but haven't felt led to go back yet. So I feel I'm trying to prepare as best I can but don't know what else I'm suppose to do. So I'm looking for vision. Wish there was some concept and brand/branding classes I could take.

life as is

What is life that we should believe that we are setup and suppose to do things of our own accord? Anything we ever do in this life is because we had the backing of other people. Whether we have friends, family, spouse, or God, we must have support. We must be driven by community, but above all else, the leading of God by Walking in the light, as He is in the light. Why do we think so independently when businesses look for partnerships, collaborate, and network? Why do we think we are so capable and our own strength when the bible clearly states we are all apart of a body. These desires for self work is only in the context for selfish desires and the inherent wanted fulfillment of said desires. Yet in business terms, though we're trying to fulfill selfish desires, we are still using other people. So as we submit ourselves to God, each of us submitted together can create a meaningful community and church body as outlined in the book of acts and we could change the world. Why change the world? If we really believed every person who is not saved is going to die... Our evangelism in america and the world would be so different. So why change the world? Because if we don't, we fail our friends, and family members who do not know Christ. Are we really loving our neighbors if we don't tell them about God? Then changing the world should be the result of the overflowing love in our relationship with God. Why change the world? Because we have to, need to, and should choose to.

musings of a bored worker

So i recently graduated and now working full time at WSU and its been pretty good. I do have some odd down times here n there but oh well. Work is work. Its interesting though, I'm surrounded by a lot of asain and muslim people now and I really wonder some days how I really can live and show them the Lord through my behavior and relationship with Christ. Leading a bible study has been an awesome adventure too. Leading and mentoring random guys has been really awesome. I just hope I walk in the grace, faith and spirit of God enough to change the world.
