Why do I rushed when it is decision making time?

Sometimes I feel intimidated about making choices. I’ve read a few books and have listened to a few tapes but there are moments where I wonder what life would be like if I had everything I ever wanted.

If I was in a position in where I never decided what I want, then I would constantly think about wanting everything. Then I look at what I have and ask if I really even want all of this.

I think about wanting to be happy. I think also about wanting other people to be happy as well and how I can contribute. But I feel selfish by wanting them to be happy. Then I sometimes do feel a type of guilt when I can’t keep others in that state. Sometimes I wonder if every encounter with negativity can be talked about and resolved only by talking?

Who knows?

Nice day today outside. I might go out to the side of the lake by some trees in the park. With so many subdivions in my area, I find that my freewill can allow me to make it a mission to relax when I need it and take in all the scenery in it’s own wonder. I am also looking for some ways to make additional income. It never hurt to be a working man. I might even plan a trip to Florida this spring break or maybe in another hemisphere. I’m going to also have to fix my MP3 player because it has a mind of it’s own sometimes. Technology can be pretty amazing.

A big weekend ahead, and I have a couple things i must start. Valentine’e day even. Maybe we will all find a gift that makes someone feel closer to the heart.

I rush many times when I shouldn’t either. There is a time to rush and a time to wait. Hope your weekend goes great.

Godspeed.

How can I raise money for a Missions trip?

I am going to gulf coast Mississippi, to help with the rebuilding of homes damaged by Katrina. I am leaing over spring break and it cost 600 dollars. Please dont tell me that if I have to ask for money I shouldnt go, becasue God doesnt just drop 600$ at your feet. And also please dont respond with, well non christians dont want to be asked, because its false, I went on one 2 years ago and most of the money was from non believers in my family.

talk to local businesses for a charity donation, make sure to mention it’s for charity.

Can you go on a mission trip without being affiliated with a church?

I know it sounds bad but I do not go to church very often and am not particularly affiliated to one. I went on a medical mission trip to honduras with my grandmothers church and loved it, but would like to try and find something new. My boyfriend would like to go on one with me, he is catholic i am christian… what do i go through. We mostly just want to help people out.

Thank you!

Yes, of course you can. Contact the Red Cross. Or offer to go with a church mission you both agree on, MOST churches are glad to have the help. There are other missions that the medical community sponsors…check with them…just search medical missions to look.

There is, of course, the Peace Corp, who are always willing to take people who can help others. Unicef is yet another.
