I have finally made the decision to start visiting other churches. I did visit one I’m interested in being a part of this past Sunday. I really liked it, but I am going to take this slow and not rush into anything because that is what really has hurt me so much in the first place. (Not hurt as abusively…just as in the non-helpful sense.) I’m thinking that the reason I’ve been kind of depressed for a while is due to not having a home church I feel comfortable in. I felt really good yesterday, it was the first time in (I don’t remember the last time, honestly). I just need to figure out how to break this to the church I have been attending (not very regularly, but still I have identified myself with it). I hate to upset anyone, but spirituality is just as important as any other aspect of life. Just as physical health requires a good doctor, spiritual health requires a good fit with a church family. This goal has been suffering greatly because of a lack of that.

This is about the only forum that I feel comfortable documenting my progress on this goal, so those of you who pray, please add this situation to your list.

and I’m actively working toward it. I’ve got an amazing amount of projects to do this weekend for school. I made out a to-do list and it had 15 items. Two are now done. I am actually on-site now doing a little homework. I have to write a paper about my philosophy and biases that is due on Thursday. So, I thought I’d look over the stuff I published on my self-actualize goal for bullet points. And since I wrote the things I can just cut and paste from my entries to synthesize most of the paper.

If everything works out as planned, I will be able to have half of my courses completed by May of this year. That’s highly encouraging!

I hope that all of my 43T buddies are hard at work pursuing their goals. I’m sorry I don’t have more time right now to interact with each of you. I think of you often, though, and never forget how special you are to me.

I got all A’s on my first semester of classes.
