1. It’s in-between school semesters and I’m getting edgy because next semester doesn’t start until a whole other month from now. I should have taken some classes during the winter semester.
2. I’m on a reading-plan to where I read the whole Bible, every five months. I’m behind on my reading plan.
3. I want to learn more about Islam and start studying the Qur'an so I can better understand the extremist’s motivation, but I don’t have the time.
4. I have yet to find a girl who is single, loves God, and enjoys studying theology.
5. If I want to get my PHD, I have about 10 more years of college as well as like a billion and a half dollars to go in class units and books!
6. I have yet to stop all suffering in the world... I’m determined... it’s damn well possible!
7. The more I study theology, the more I realize how little I know... it should be the other way around... studying shouldn’t make me feel stupider!
8. Whenever I see a “holy-man” who blatantly is NOT striving to BE holy, I get the sudden urge to vomit. Role models should act more like role models and not like evil hypocrites towards the people who put their trust in them!
9. I’m partly responsible for the spirituality of the 12 people I lead in my bible study; therefore I’m always stressed out because I’m not perfect in my own spirituality... I have to always watch myself so I don’t become blatantly hypocritical like other clergy that I know that makes me sick. I have yet to become perfect in my spirituality... yet I’m determined to strive towards it.
10. The missionary family that I’m in charge of isn’t getting their salary from headquarters. I’m fighting the system; but I shouldn’t be the one to fight this – I’m only 21 and am not even a pastor... shouldn’t those who are older and more accredited be fighting this? Nonetheless, I’m lighting a fire underneath the Salvation Army... we’ll see who it burns.
11. Society has too much of an influence in me, and I constantly feel myself getting drawn into the media’s propaganda. Death to Hollywood, trends, labels, and the typical life of death, and on with a life that’s truly worth living!
12. I know that true happiness comes in simplicity... but I live in Los Angeles. It goes against every single thing that this society says is “happiness.”
13. The hardest thing to overcome, I’ve come to learn – is myself.
14. Just because it's bad to end with "13" frustrations!
