due to popular demand, here i am posting. i haven't felt inclined to lately, because i'm not sure what direction i should take this thing. originally it was used to record and report my mexican adventures for my fans back home. now, however, i am back in canada, and have few adventures that need reporting. so, as i have been asking myself about most facets of my life, now what?
and i guess that's about where i am again. stuck in no man's land. undecided, noncommittal, up in the air. where should i live? where should i work? what should i do for work? where do i want to be in five years? how am i going to get there? should i try to get back to mexico? should i focus on somewhere else now? should i learn a new language? which one? or should i just give up, live at home until i can drag some lame guy to the altar, have a bus load of children, and live in pg for the rest of my life? no offense to those who have chosen or will choose to do that...

drag some lame guy to the altar, have a bus load of children, and live in pg for the rest of my life???? NO thats definatley NOT the answer. Sadly tho, people arent patient enuf and turn to that.
You have alot of questions, some only Jah will answer in *due* time.
Your making a difference where ever you are.
Your in Jahs organization arent ya? Your in the disciple making work arent ya? Your in PG arent ya?My point is we are talking to sheep like people every where in the world,cuz theres some left in every part.
Whats the difference in talking to them here or there?
Be satisfied for whatchya got here now and people your talking to now, because they are giving their answer the same way other people are on the other side of the world.
Through this privledged work that we are doing right along side Jah and our fellow brothers & sisters, we are accomplishing this territory. Maybe Jah sees need for ya here at the moment. And im quite sure you will get a few different oppertunities to work unassigned terr. or be able to go somewhere and pioneer. Maybe not Mexico, but maybe a different adventure.
But look at it this way. You may only be spending a couple of more months here and then you might not be back for quite a while, maybe never even coming back to live. Why not enjoy the time you have with your family, friends, fellow "co workers" in the faith.
I understand your sence of ergancy, its good to have that.
Jah thinks of us as individuals, and as an organization, and how we work together. We need to be humble.
I know you know the scripture that comes to my mind when you have all these questions, and i know you know it, cuz your the one that brought it to my attention.
1 Peter 5:6&7.
Im only saying this cuz i know you'll be out of here in no time, maybe never to return....
Be patient!
2 corinthians 5:6,7,8,13.

Most groups have a stringent schedule for members. There is always something to do in these groups. It has its own distinctive set of behaviours that bind it together.

“Walk by Faith, Not by Sight!”
Some questions we do well to ask ourselves are: ‘What place do material things occupy my life? Am I using the material possessions I have to live a life of pleasure or to promote true worship? What brings me the greatest satisfaction? Is it Bible study and fellowship at Christian meetings, or is it weekends away from Christian responsibilities? Do I reserve many weekends for recreation instead of using such time for the field ministry and other activities in connection with pure worship?’ Walking by faith means that we keep busy in the Kingdom work, with full trust in Jehovah’s promises.
KM 1/95 "Always Plenty To Do"
We must prepare for and attend weekly congregation meetings. We are encouraged not to let a week go by without having some share in the field ministry. Sufficient time must be regularly set aside for personal and family Bible study. Elders and ministerial servants have many congregation assignments. At times we are asked to help worthy ones in need. 2 Occasionally, some of us may feel overwhelmed by all that we have to do. Yet, the busiest people can be among the happiest if balance and proper perspective are maintained. […]6 There is an added benefit in having plenty to do. When we are busy pursuing a healthy spiritual routine, time seems to go by much faster. Realizing that each day that passes brings us closer to the new world, we gladly accept the full life we enjoy now. We also realize the wisdom of staying busy, inasmuch as we have less time to get involved in futile worldly pursuits.
w94 9/1 p 13 Despite Being Made of Dust, Push Ahead!
20 Now, during the concluding years of Satan’s world system, is not the time to slow down—not as far as Kingdom preaching is concerned and not as far as developing more fully the fruitage of God’s spirit is concerned. In both areas we have “plenty to do.” Now is the time to push ahead because we know our “labor is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58) Jehovah will sustain us, for of him David said: “Never will he allow the righteous one to totter.” (Psalm 55:22) What a joy to know that Jehovah is permitting us personally to share in the grandest work imperfect human creatures have ever been assigned to do—and this despite our being made of dust!

"Righteous Requirements"
The territory now being covered one to two times in six months could very easily be covered four to six times in the same period if everyone took his Kingdom responsibilities seriously.
