The time that has passed....

Alright, I can say that it has been quite the journey for me since I last updated this blog entry.

Well, here are some of the things that I have experienced since being home from Oregon. I have learned to be tougher because people can't take seriously the type of person that is always nice. My military training instructor once taught me that if people are taking advantage of you, or disrespecting you he would say to crush them. Now, I know that sounds like a harsh note but I realize now that being nice sometimes isn't always the right way to go. I used to think that if I just ignored the problem that the problem would go away. However, I have learned that problems never go away instead they just escalate. Sometimes standing for yourself in disparaging notes can have people understand what you're stating.

I have learned that commanding attention is different than controlling them for attention. As I have learned to command the presence of those of others respect and discipline are gained. Likewise, the reverse happens when we force people for that attention when we control them for their attention. There are many things over these months that have made me rethink my motives, because in these many instances I truly have learned to be alone. When you feel alone, you become one with it as if it is your best friend.

Life's simple moments can be better savored anyways when you're alone.

Anyways, here are some of the things that I have accomplished in the last several months. In the last months, I have lived in three different areas; and volunteered at different events. I have spoken up about the gospel in many of the places that I have been stationed. Also, I have a job that I am working as a power production specialist here in Minot, North Dakota.

This is my life, I hope that you stay to continue this journey with me. May God be with you =)!
