Productivity

Productivity.  In my case, I pursue it, yet it is always out of my grasp.  Every day is inundated with task upon task, and you learn to enjoy any minute of relaxation you can find.  After a long day of classes, tests, etc, I got to relax at a local jiu-jitsu gym in the evening.  I love the physical exhaustion that results from a rolling session, but that is besides the point.  The title to this post is productivity, but I will stray away and began to recap 2012 as the month of December is upon us.

2012:

-GMAT
-UCLA Hospital Accounting job
-Brazillian Jiu-jitsu
-Tapestry-->Now, the House
-OCS
-NSCS

Man, what a year.  I seem to say this about every year, but I can honestly say this year was a year to remember.  First, finding a church I really loved and wanted to serve...and then being called away to Rhode Island for training.  Beginning a new lifestyle, and developing new friendships.  6 months from now, I could be anywbere....nothing is really cemented for 2013.  As I pour myself into my pursuits, I can only say one thing: Psalms 23.  I have it written across my room wall, and I recite it every morning...it is my life theme.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul.  He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me.  Your rod and your staff they comfort me.  You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of The Lord forever."

This post may be convoluted and without good structure; however, I end this with a desire to become more consistent in my daily devotions and dependence on Christ.

Desires for the new year:
1) finish some writing projects I'm working on
2) compete in a jiujitsu tournament
3) play the harmonica confidently
4) get out to sea

The Lord is my shepherd.
