Update

Nothing spectacular to talk about really, but I thought I could give an update on my television addiction. I've now been clean for 2 weeks, but I have read a few online articles related to certain shows, so I've got to watch myself there. I think it might also be negatively affecting my studying. I had my worst test this semester on Friday and it could be related to the lack of my stress relief, but I'm willing to suffer some unappealing grades in a pursuit to follow Jesus. I'm sure eventually I'll find a more fulfilling stress reliever. Maybe I could use running, I've done that before with some success. I just need to get myself into a good schedule. I'll keep working on this and get back to you with the results. On another note, the board to determine the army HPSP scholarship recipients is scheduled for Wednesday, so I'm trying to keep that in prayer, though I have trouble keeping from being distracted. I'm sure that whatever the result, I can trust that God will take care of me, it would just be less stressful for me right now if God were to provide this funding for my education. However, my good friend Ken is also hoping for the scholarship and though it would be nice if we could both receive it, it may be that only one of us (or possibly neither of us) will get it, and I will be alright if I don't receive the scholarship. God has never let me down yet, He's always there for me through life's disappointments. That said, prayer towards a goal that can be used for God's service is never a bad thing, so if you read this before Wednesday you could keep the decisions of the board members in prayer; that what they decide would be used to promote the proclamation of the gospel to all the world.
