Where do I begin?

Kind of cliche... but it sums up the struggle... Where does preparation for Isaiah end and time to be creative begin?
I'm kind of in a spiritual slump.... I don't feel like I'm growing closer to God, but I don't have the will to do the things that help me grow closer... so I just drift...
I really think the last thing I need is more prayer or more Bible verses... What I really need is to serve... I need to start acting on all the things I've learned and believe... I need to find more opportunities and serve my community... (that rhymed)
It's super inspiring to see Chrissy step out and serve in the mission field...
I guess I'm just really tired lately. Trying to knock this stuff out...

I'm about 40% through it all.
I'm tired.
Annalisa is awesome. She's the perfect wife. I hope I never take her for granted.
I'm gettin' kinda chubby again... (sigh)
Took a polaroid of my mid-section back in October '02 and I remember vowing that after a year I would have a leaner/stronger body so as to excel in soccer and basketball.
Found the polaroid yesterday... (sigh)
Been feeling pretty old lately...
You can wait to watch The Terminal... engh...
My hair is really long and I don't feel attractive.
The basement and the garage are not organized.
Philippe's in France. He thrives there. I wonder if I will ever travel again.
Gave a horrible presentation at work yesterday. I suck.
Okafor should have went first. But I understand.
I've been down on myself lately... or really hard on myself or both...
