As I recline in the living room of the men's house on this beautiful sunny March day, listening to the melodies of Five Iron Frenzy flowing from the tinny speakers of my iBook, I procrastinate while writing a post in my blog.
I shaved part of my beard last night. Now, it is somewhere between a beard and a goatee. I don't exactly know the full extent of either of those terms, but looking up goatee on my dashboard dictionary I found that it is a small pointed beard. I would say my facial hair doesn't really fit that description because it is neither small nor pointed. I guess it should be called a beard since the term beard is used in the definition of goatee, implying that beard encompasses a range of facial hair, including goatees.
That being settled, I don't really know what else to write about. Tomorrow night there is a Jason Upton Concert here at Finch Fieldhouse for free. It is pretty exciting that our public university is hosting a Christian concert. With this excitement, local ministries have joined to do a 24 hour prayer room which started on Sunday and goes until Thursday right before the concert. It has been pretty sweet. I had the opportunity to lead a time of worship on Monday night and was reminded of how much I enjoy leading informal worship. God is pretty awesome, and he gives me so much joy as I let him pour through me. It is interesting to think about certain things like that. I think we expect too much of ourselves sometimes, and we become proud. For example, the love we have and the ability to worship and connect with God ultimately originates with God. All he wants is for us to be willing and to follow his lead. On the other hand, I often find myself underestimating my own stubbornness and/or lazyness, along with the attacks of Satan. When that happens, I stop following his lead and become upset with him for not working through me and stuff. I definitely don't have God or Christian life figured out. God has been showing me that quite plainly recently. Nonetheless, he is patient and persistent and will continue to work on me until the work is done. In other words, God is awesome. Really, though, as we all know, there aren't really words to describe God fully.
Continue to give God glory as he pours blessings into your life.

New Post
Who knew that a post could refer to papermaking? Well, I sure didn't until I looked it up on dictionary.com
Disclaimer: I am fairly tired and in a strange mood currently. Any material in this post may or may not represent the views of Josh Hill. I hope it makes you laugh because laughter is good for your soul.
Do you ever notice the most random things when you are tired? I just noticed that the words your and soul both use an o-u combination.
Anyway, I suppose I should let you in on a little bit of my life. I am currently planning on going to Louisiana for a week at the beginning of the summer. I will be going with some people from my church and working with the disaster relief stuff that is going on down there.
After that, I will be home for less than a week before travelling to the Dominican Republic for 2 1/2 months. I wll be doing an internship with Orphanage Outreach in Monte Cristi. Basically, I will probably be heading up some kind of ministry down there, possibly something with music, and leading and helping out the teams that will be down there throughout the summer. I would appreciate your prayers as I prepare and as I am there. Also, I am going to need approximately $4000 for the costs of the program and the airfare, so I would appreciate your prayers for that. If you would like to contribute money, that would be appreciated as well and you can talk to me about that.
Other than that, I am staying busy with school stuff. I have quite a bit going on for the rest of the semester, big projects to start and/or finish, and other things still going on, but I think I am going to make it through probably, despite a desire to dropout and just become a full-time missionary right now. I love you guys.
