soooo

i bought a plane ticket. funny story on that, i lost 200 bucks. hopefully the last time i waste time.

well, i'm gonna go ahead and tout my.kontaktmissionusa.org/profile/jacobrstarkey (it's a long url, but remember it). that's my km site, and it's not too bad.

i'm gonna still rock this guy here and there. on top of it all, i really need to get on top of wordpress or some other site building software. i need my own place to roam, but we'll just see how well it goes.


give me prayers that i will become the best i can be.

one day

one simple day, a day in waiting, can change your mindset in so many ways.

maybe for me it was a series of days (all of which should have taken place so very long ago). this past week i got an email from rocco, rob, and mark, all about my life as a missionary. i also sent out my first bit of letters to begin building my circle of support as i enter this phase of life.

i realized one thing over all this past week or two: as i prepare for the next seven months, i prepare for the rest of my life.

maybe i won't be spending the rest of my life in germany helping people understand and build their faith in Christ, maybe i will. either way, i'm focusing for the first time in my life on engaging the people i care about and actually caring about them and asking them to care about me.

it really is a unique time in my life.
