Me, Myself, and Jesus

Well getting more in the swing of things with this blog I decided to write something that has been on my mind since the day I came to know God and more of an understanding on how wonderful he really is. Lately I've been very VERY busy, and if I have anytime to myself I usually call it "me" time, but during this "me time" It usually consists of me just doing absolutely nothing. By nothing I mean things that won't benefit me in anyway. To sum it all up I am the epiphany of lazy when it comes to "me time". I'm ashamed of this yes, and while being in such a lazy state I begin to think of things that I could be doing. For example: read my bible, exercise, practice my Cajon (percussion instrument), paint. But I somehow always find a way to avoid doing any of these things.
 So why don't I get around to do any of these things? Well as sadly as this sounds (and I think a lot of people can relate) I tend to put myself before God. I know it sounds terrible but don't you lie! You have done it too. So has you mother, father, sister, brother, dog, fish, and every living person in this tiny planet we call, Earth. I'm not saying you're a bad person or anything, nor am I calling myself a bad person, we're human. Humans have selfish and down right dumb embedded into our skulls.
Now, I don't know about you but I don't want to have those words embedded in my skull. I want to replace those words with, compassion and loving. Those two words are what Jesus shows us every single day. Although we have our faults Jesus looks past them and says, "You are mine and I am yours." He shows us never ending love, even though we veer towards our own desires. I want to change my  "me time" into "Jesus time" (sounds like a game show or something.) I'd advise you to do the same. Take an hour or two to just study God's word. Really grip the message you're reading and write them down in your journal. Change "me, myself, and I" into "Me, myself, and Jesus." Focus on your relationship with him and I pinky swear only good things will come of it. I hope this made you smile and or your heart smile.

Peace and Hair Grease,

MY FIRST POST EVER

Well I don't know how to properly start off this blog so...Hello? Hi? Greetings? How are you? I don't know.  I want you to know that I've been spending pretty much this whole day thinking about what to write about for my first post EVER. It actually started to get quite frustrating. I mean this whole entire day I was so worried about what to write and here I am now typing at this very moment just going with the flow and typing whatever is in my head right now. You. You. You. How am I going to make this post interesting to YOU? I guess to catch your attention I was thinking about writing just random things about myself. For example: My favourite colour is blue and my favourite animal is an elephant. I'm Asian American and I have an addiction to The Office. But seriously, how boring is that? THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WERE IN MY HEAD THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY. You can see how that can be quite frustrating.
 So right now I have come to the conclusion that there is no way I can possibly write this post to interest you in any way, shape, or form. All I can do is just let you read what's on my mind and hopefully (emphasis on the hopefully) try to make my thoughts mildly interesting to you and somehow put them into words to make a post. I have no idea what I'm going to post in the future. I have no idea if anybody is even going to read this. But I'll tell you this, homie...everything I post will be genuine and true. Because life isn't any fun when you're fake and lying, am I right? I hope this post and my future posts make you smile and or your heart smile.  

Peace and hair grease,
