Fox Mondays --- feeding my addiction!

I realized today that I am addicted to entertainment. Whether it be tv, movies, video games, internet, or music. What I am going to do about it I don't know yet. However, I write this as I am watching House. I will then proceed to watch 24. After that I will probably go into my room to play Gears of War 2 with my brother, and then fall asleep to whichever movie I choose to sleep too, all the while having the computer next to me, talking on facebook, surfer espn.com, and checking teams on whatifsports.com. I didn't used to be like this. I used to spent most of my time outside, I used to go running, work out, do pitching exercises, anything I could to get out of the house and take advantage of the wonderful weather we're blessed with in Arizona. Even up to a couple months ago I had a nice balance or indoor/outdoor activities, I was determined to go back to college, to play baseball again at G.C.U., to get my life where I want it to be. Yet this holiday season I came upon some roadblocks that basically knocked the wind out of me. I realized how hard it is going to be to go back to school because of poor financial decisions of the past. I realized that you can't put your happiness in any person, because it will be broken. One good thing I learned these last few months is that God is always faithful. No matter how many people leave you and let you down, God will always be there. He is always taking care of us. I love Jesus with all of my heart, and I long to have a closer personal relationship with Him. I know that He is working in me, I know that He has something huge planned for me, even if I may not see it now, or even if I may not see it in this lifetime, I know that my God will use me for His purposes. That is why no matter how hopeless this life feels, no matter how hopeless my life seems, I am hopeful. Because I know I have hope in Jesus Christ.

While writing this I decided I need to try to cut down a little bit on my "entertainment" addiction. Hopefully I will be picking up a lot of hours at work, and I am also going to get back into my baseball training...I've kinda been slacking ever since the holidays. I kinda lost focus and need to get it back. I only have 7 months before the fall semester starts, and I need to make sure I am in great condition before going back to play for Grand Canyon.

I guess this is good enough for my first post. Signing off now. Goodnight.
