Mondays NEVER Slow Down

Mondays are always my busiest days of the week. I have class at 8am and I usually don't get to go back to my dorm room for more than 5 minutes until around 11:15pm that night. So as you might've figured out, I'm tired as I'm writing this. Today was a bit nicer though for one because I got done with my TA work early, and instead of conditioning practice for soccer, coach decided to have a movie day, and he also ordered us pizza :) I love it when that happens.

But one of the biggest struggles for me on Mondays is to stay energetic at my PCM (Practical Christian Ministry). I am a Jr. High leader in a youth group in schaumburg and I just really struggle to be energetic and interact with the kids. So if any of you from the youth group are reading this, please forgive me for not being as interactive as I should be. But that is one thing that I just need to pray over, and ask God for strength every week.

Also, for those of you who don't know, my new and improved site is officially up and running, http://www.joshburns.net
but you probably already know that if you are reading this post, but just in case. I redesigned it because I have so many areas online that I am active in, so I wanted one place where you can go to interact with all of these things, and now that place exists. Look around, email me any comments or suggestions you might have that could improve the site and that'd be great.

Ok, well here's to another update in the life of...

Insert Witty Title...

Tonight I went back to my RSS reader, or a blog reader for the laymen, and started reading the blogs of people that I had subscribed to. Some people I’m really close to, and some people I’m not as close to, and I realized how helpful it might be for me to start blogging about my own personal life. I mean, I have a blog for the podcast http://www.jsquaredpodcast.blogspot.com but that isn’t personal at all. I realized it might be helpful for those back home or around the world who every once and a while might like to read a short, or not so short update on my life.
So anyways, I’m gonna try to keep these things somewhat short usually, but every once and a while there might be a long one.

Soccer, has pretty much been consuming life for the first month of school, which is fine, but it is just a little more responsibility than I had expected, so that is pretty much what has been going on in my life generally. So depicted above are basically the guys that I have been spending all of my time with for the past 2 months, which is awesome. If you are closer to me then you know that some more stuff has happened outside of soccer and school, so if you are that close to me then good for you, if not, then if you wanna know, come and talk to me. Okay, now to figure out how I’m gonna host this thing we call a blog.

Peace
