Confession #17: My Heart

Chris on Jun 17th 2008

There isn’t much to this post other than the fact that I have a lot on my heart right now.  Lot’s of personal stuff that I’ve been thinking about today.  I’ve know I’ve been neglecting the fact that I have some stuff I need to deal with, and allowing God to change me.  I’m simply [...]

Chris on Jun 17th 2008

Not much that needs to be said about this.

Confession #16: Marriage

Chris on Jun 16th 2008

Marriage.  This one scares me.  Not sure why.  I’m afraid of failure I suppose.  I’m afraid of not being suited for a particular moment or time when someone or a family depends on me.  I’m afraid of being someone I don’t want to be, and don’t know how to change that.  Sometimes I lay awake [...]

Confession #15: Politics

Chris on Jun 15th 2008

This is usually something that I don’t touch with a ten-foot-pole.  I neither care to much about it either.  But last evening I watched Jesus Camp, the movie. It got me to start thinking about all this, and the agendas we Christians have in trying to ‘influence’ the world.  I may really not know what I am talking [...]

Confession #14: I Am A Man

Chris on Jun 14th 2008

This is a cop-out type of confession, I suppose.  I’ve been a bit tired lately and thought I might take a break for a few days.  I’m proud of myself so far for being able to stick with it this long so far.  Today I honestly wasn’t in one of those moods to post anything. [...]

Confession #13: Need some help?

Chris on Jun 13th 2008

I’m trying not to be boastful or prideful, but I enjoy (not even sure that is the correct word) listening to people. What do I mean by listen?  I desire to help people, I like to listen to the things about their life, struggles, victories, challenges, weakeness, etc.  This is who I am.  I desire [...]

Confession #12: Cardboard Testimony

Chris on Jun 12th 2008

I’m kinda taking a break on this series for the day. I was going to write something else last night, but a tweet came across twitter and I think I’d rather share the link that was in the tweet rather than what I had planned.
I follow Jason Powell’s blog and twitter. Jason [...]

Confession #11: I don’t got skillz

Chris on Jun 11th 2008

I compare a lot. In doing so I take a negative look at myself. I think I limit myself in thinking of what I can and can’t do. I do this particularly in the fields of interest that I have. Picture taking, graphic design, etc. I try to prove myself in my [...]

Confession #10: Lonely

Chris on Jun 10th 2008

I’ll be honesty I don’t feel like writing this right now.  I feel like I am running out of steam.  I’m tired.  Its been pretty hot and humid and the heat has just been sucking the energy out of me.  But I am going to give it a shot anyway.
One thing I struggle with almost [...]

Confession #9: Purity

Chris on Jun 9th 2008

I’m Male.I’m 27 yrs old.I’m Single.I struggle with being pure. Enough said…right?Not Quite. This is, well, a subject that I think perhaps more people struggle with more often than not. I don’t plan on getting into the nitty gritty of my life, but I think its important to share some of my thoughts on [...]

Confession #8: Selfishness, Security, and Sacrifice

Chris on Jun 8th 2008

I am occasionally encouraged by my folks to start saving for the future, to have a plan for emergencies, etc. While this is great. I simply have not done anything about it. My current job hasn’t allowed itself to do so. My savings has been pretty minimal. Yet, I remain pretty [...]

Confession #7: Sharing what I believe

Chris on Jun 7th 2008

This might be trivial from your view point. But this is something I struggle with. Its a two fold problem really.
First I find it awkward to work this into conversation, sharing the Gospel that is. If you know me, I’m pretty reserved and quiet. I like observing, and coming away with thoughts. [...]

Confession #6: We hide, and were happy we can

Chris on Jun 6th 2008

I was actually working on this post previous to starting this series, and never really got to finish it, but I think it aptly fits cause I struggle with this one quite a bit. I also think this is more of a problem then one would care to admit. It deals with seeing [...]

Confession #5: Reading

Chris on Jun 5th 2008

I guess this one kinda goes along with the past two posts as well in the fact that I struggle with reading.  Reading the Bible.  I’ve always been taught or encouraged to read, read in a way that was more of a habit, bound by time and a specific way of handling the scripture.  I [...]

Confession #4: Prayer

Chris on Jun 4th 2008

This one is going to be short probably.  But this one is a struggle for me.
A lot of times I say ” I’ll pray for you ” or ” I’ll pray about this or that ” - and usually what happens is I end up lying.   I don’t know about you, but I end [...]
