About Me

My photo
I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights...

I’m feeling honest conviction right now. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted my 20’s. I literally spent about 5 years doing nothing; just working and spending money. I mean I guess I got some things done in my twenties but if I take inventory, it wasn’t much. I was a youth pastor for five years, I helped some victims of Domestic Violence, I made some good friends and had some good times.
But now what?
I have had a calling on my life to become a pastor since I was 21 and here I am, 27 years old and I haven’t done it yet! I have been terrible with my money and so I have nothing to show for all my working years. I was only a few units away from graduating college and I decided to put it off for a later time and now its exceedingly difficult to get that done. i haven't written any books yet. I haven’t gotten married yet! So many squandered opportunities to be a real man!
But at least I had fun? I’m not sure if it was worth it. In retrospect, there are a lot of decisions that I should have made and a lot of them I messed up. You would think that with God in my life I would have made some better decisions, that I would have lived with purpose and at times I did, but others I didn’t. I guess I have two years left to make this decade a productive one and I’m not going to waste those 2 years. I will let you know when I finally feel successful! lol
