I went on a missions trip in the summer to Cancun and so much happened there that I will reflect upon later – but my point is not to go through every detail of the trip right now…I guess it’s more about the actual results which came out of it – which I’ve been thinking about for the past few hours =P

Basically, I made a whole slew of commitments at that time (July 3rd, 2003 to be exact) – which I suppose, haven’t really hit me until now. The simple significance of that list of commitments has really started to make an impact on my life when I think about the summer of 2004…what I will do…what I won’t do…where I will go…and so forth.

And I’m making it out to be a lot of things that really shouldn’t be.

I guess the heart and mind just aren’t connecting at the moment.


Commitment…the best definition I found (in my opinion) was this:

cultivating obedience.
