What I've learned

Nehemiah made confession for his whole nation/people. God blessed him and used him to lead his people back into right relationship.
Can I do the same for my people?

For some, we have to be different to become what we're meant to be.
It's lonely sometimes, but it's fulfilling, always.

Hard things must be done.
The outcome makes it worth it.

Spiritual Health is something to be maintained.
Continually resisting evil is necessary.


Yesterday I got my hair cut into a mohawk by a silly Filipino woman.
I went to Wal-mart, bought two boxes of hairdye.
I went home and spent the next 2 hours-ish changing the color of my mohawk to fiery orange with red tips.
Friends, family and pets have been doing double-takes ever since. They don't recognize me at first. The dogs bark and the people exclaim.
I want my heart to be a spiritual fiery-colored mohawk. Blatantly open in it's statement of faith: "I am bold. I am strong. I am confident. And I burnnnnn with purpose."
