Its been a challenge to write for some reason so I decided to re-read some older entries from last year. When I came across this entry from exactly 365 days ago, I figured id repost it. Not only for those new to the site but probably a reminder that I need.

Endurance With Faith Revisitd.
It has been suggested that for the next 11 days I write less for the blog and more in a journal that will never see the light of day. Considering this person knows me better than most…im gonna listen to her. A few minutes ago my mom reminded me of a verse that I written on in the past. Here it is….

Worry Less
Yesterday I wrote about all the stress that’s going on. Nothing has changed and actually more has been added but that’s not what this is about. As I struggled to write for tonight, I remembered an entry I wrote 2 years ago…..

Better Is One Day
While hanging out at the beach today I was asked if I ever miss my old lifestyle? The answer is simple…no. If there is anything that I do kind miss its the attention I used to get. (Being in Hawaii everywhere I go, Im known.) I concluded my answer with I don’t miss…waking up with massive hangovers, thats if I even went to sleep. Im glad I don’t have to make up lies to cover my tracks. Having a solid relationship with my family is priceless. Its reassuring to know that I have legit friends now. The list of blessings I’ve gained in sobriety would take forever to list.

Mom
Recently I shared about my dad…well here is a previous entry about my mom. As I plan my 2 week return home, part of the pull to stay was to help mom take care of grandma. It was a tough decision to make but in the end, it will be my sister and brother-in-law going back to help out. With that said…

My Dad
I started doing a discipleship/leadership course. The assignment tonight was to share on a person who has influenced me the most and to list two qualities that I admire the most. One of the easiest assignments ever…my dad. The qualities? Loyal & tough unconditional love.
Instead of trying to list how amazing he is…i’ll just use one of the first ever entries from over two years ago.

Disorder vs. Peace Revisited.
Every Saturday and Sunday morning Im reminded of how much my life has changed. I read Facebook updates of my friends late night escapades, see pictures of them drunk and realize that I never want to go back to that lifestyle. Someone recently asked my why there are no pictures from my past? I deleted them all. Ive never forgotten where I came from but have no desire to ever return.

Character.
Seven months ago I wrote about Character. I can remember what I was going though on that day like it was yesterday. Full of frustration because people where questioning if I was cut out to lead newly sober men while not attending a billion meetings a week. Not once have I strayed from my core and I’ll never deviate from it.

Long Day
I woke up at 4am to make my flight back, needless to say…I am exhausted. Its been a looooooooooong day but an amazing one. I’ll write more about that later. One of the things that I was reminded of on my trip was how far I’ve come.
