The Start of 2011

Written on January 5, 2011 by Jeremy

Just wanted to share a few things…

Missions Trip

In a matter of days, I’ll be going on my first missions trip to Peru with four others from our church. It’s more of a construction trip than anything. We’ll be fixing up a church that doesn’t have the means to do so themselves. It’ll be good to get out of my comfort zone for a little while.

Right after an eight hour flight home and a two hour drive back from the airport, I’m heading to a men’s retreat put on by our church. Normally I wouldn’t want to do anything the day I get back from a trip, but after going last year I just couldn’t pass this up. Last year I had an amazing time, made new friendships, strengthened current ones, and drew closer to the Lord. If you haven’t experienced the amazing love and peace that ONLY the Lord can provide, please take just a few moments and read this: How To Find Peace With God

Back To The Diet

Like a lot of people, I started going to the gym again and decided to get this weight off once and for all. Fortunately, I can shed the pounds pretty quickly as long as I stick with my diet. I would like to lose anywhere from 30-40 pounds and it would be nice to get there by early March. I’ll try to update sometime in February (more to keep me motivated as I know friends will be reading this and can get on me if I don’t stick with it).

One More Thing For 2011

I want to read through the entire NIV Bible. For some that may not seem like a challenge, but I’ve never been a big reader. That means I’ll have to read 3-4 times the amount I read now, which will be a great challenge.
