Ok then.

Hello all. I would honestly love to put down my life story right now, but unfortunately for me, work beckons. To be honest, I have been having trouble starting my devotionals. It feels like I am unable to find the time to sit down and read. I work all the time, and if I am off, I am out of the house for church or hanging out. I am sincerily trying to wake up early to start studying/reading/blogging, but I am having difficulty doing so. It's that darn bed...must it be so comfortable? Well I will definitely be posting tonight with my devotionals. As for now...why not tell you guys where I am starting?

I have been doing this 1 year bible for about a month now (not really since I've stopped for like a week and 1/2... sadness). I could just start where I left off but I feel like this is a new start. As they say... 2009, time to shine! *cough*. So I've decided to start over kinda. I'll probably speed through the stuff I've gone through so I can catch back up.

In any case, don't you think a good way to start a 1 year bible is to go through Genesis, the first book of the bible?!? Written in approximately 1600 B.C., Genesis actually means, "The Beginning." You probably already know this but eh whatever, it's my blog.

Well, I'll leave it at that for now. I'm going to do, you know, work or whatever..

Plans...

Ok.. so its pretty late (3:25 am). I just came back from hanging and helping out at Ami's home and I can't really sleep so how about another blog post?

So I'm really hoping to be as active as possible posting different things (Devotionals, Thoughts, maybe even some Tagalog lessons of the day???) and unfortunately I may not have the time that this endeavor ultimately requires.

Here is a tentative list of the things I want to put down on this blog:

• I've started a 1 year devotional that I plan on listing here as I write them
• I am going to the Philippines in the summer and I need to learn as much Tagalog/Visaya as possible... This requires some work... Rosetta Stone anyone?
• After my injury, my will to exercise has diminished entirely (does pushing buttons count? Maybe not.) I need to start exercising on a regular basis.
  
• Random thoughts about what's been going on and what not

So I definitely have a couple things I want to regularly update on. Unfortunately with my schedule being as it is (school, 2 jobs, ministry), I do not have all the free time that would warrant a regular blog.

Here's a short list of my weekly duties

• Monday: A & P II 9:30 - 12:00; Cell Group 7:30 - 10:00
  
• Tuesday: Clinic 10-7
  
• Wednesday: A & P II 9:30 - 12:00; Clinic 1 - 4; Meeting 5 - 5:30; either AT&T 5 - 10:30, or
  Church 7 - 10
  
• Thursday: Clinic 10 - 7
  
• Friday: Microbiology Lab 8 - 10:45; Clinic 1 - 4; sometimes AT&T 5 - 10:30
  
• Saturday: Sometimes AT&T 5 - 10:30
  
• Sunday: Church 10 - 12

Crazy no? You know, one way to know God is on your side is when even though you are busy, there is still time for the important things in life (God, Family, and Friends). Honestly, the only breaks I have are on the weekend. Maybe Monday but even then I'm strapped for time during the morning.

Tentatively, this is the schedule I would like to follow:

• Devotionals: Daily
  
• Exercise: Every Monday
  
• Tagalog: Saturday, Sunday, Monday (or maybe Tues, Thurs, Sat?)
  
• Musings: When I feel like it

That's my plan and knowing me, it will probably change.

Thanks for reading everyone. Comment me about how awesomely busy my life is! :-D

1st Post!

Ah another blog. I have had so many: Xanga, Myspace, Facebook, 1Up... probably more so. I enjoy sharing my thoughts, my beliefs, and other general things I can throw out there. Though my vernacular could always be better, I enjoy standing on the digital soapbox every once in a while.

So how about a mini biography eh?

My name is Roland, I am 20 and currently a student of University of Texas San Antonio. I am aspiring to be a nurse, and have taken the steps to do so within the next couple of months. I love music, and have dabbled in piano, voice, and guitar. I love playing basketball, video games, and meeting the many people that populate this earth. I've been blessed with an easy going personality that has enabled me to meet and keep many friends.

One thing I have secretly enjoyed is writing. It is one of the most primitive and yet most advanced technology we have. Ever since people discovered surface and something to write with (probably blood or berries of some sort), they have recorded billions of documented words to spread the news across the known globe. Why else would God choose people to document history? Why not tell them, "Hey so you know remember all this stuff. It's gonna be good!" No, He put people to task to document these events, so that now when we come to read His word, we understand and know the truth behind it. Word of mouth just does not cut it. That is why I love to write. There is a truth about it that I love. Vocal word has a tendency to be twisted and distorted. Granted, intentions can cause fallacy in writing but the words, if used properly, can bring freedom.

I, of course, am not a writing savant. My skills are limited only by my imagination, which never seems to reach far enough. I hope that through blogging, my ideas will be unlocked and my prowess will continue to increase.

I believe I will end this blog now. I am planning on using this deal to share my thoughts on what I have read. It will be a way to stay consistent, which is something I've been working on for years. Of course, who is to tell? As my title reads, it is too soon to tell.
