2005

You know you're living in 2005 when.. ... ...... ............

1) you accidentally enter your password on a microwave




2) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years





3) thE reaL reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have a screen name





4) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing to button on the tv.




6) your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job.







7) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling















8) as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your friends













9) and.. you were to busy to notice number 5.









10) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5











11) & now you're laughing at your stupidity

one of those days

Today was one of those days...

I realized I am poor...

I realized I am going to be poor for a long time...

I realized that I can contain a lot of information(thank you intro to bible test)...

I realized that trust comes through hard times...

I realized that you should do your work becuase there will usually be a suprise at the end of your day...

Today was one of those days that you want to crawl into the fetal postion, turn the lights off, and cry yourself to sleep...

To forget everything that surrounds you...all your work...all your relationships...all the good things...all the bad... and sleep the night away so the next day you can have a clear head about the decisions you need to make. You can be wise in situations and not impulsivley rush.

Today was one of those days...

Eating my words

Isn't a mess when you declare somthing and God declates something else.

Like say you won't ever work some where and God sends you there.

Or you won't date and you date(just an example).

Or you won't do the major that God just is calling you to do.

I have learned that I'm very bold when it comes to declaring things and a lot of the times I have to eat my words take my foot out of my mouth and do what God tells me.

Im just thankful that I do it a lot so that I can get over my shame quickley.

Past Pains

So I have discovered pain never really goes away.
I knew that before but today has pushed that fact again.

The death of loves, the relational strains, the unknowable answers of "what could of happened", the uncomforties of tragedy, the many consequences of bad decisions made in rushed moments, the understanding that past pain will lessen day by day but will always be there.

Greif is to big to diminish and sorrow is to great to overcome in a mortal and finite body.

What to do with these pains when they scab over and then are ripped open again?

Weep for the moment and then get up and start all over again.

That is how you understand and deal with the past.

Then approach everyone else in love so the past will never have to repeat itself in the same context.

Finished

So I finished my book. It was good and only took me two days.
All in all it's been a good week. Im totally Acing my principles of bible study. Pretty exciting.
I love you all
thats all I have to say.

New Book

So I went home this last weekend for my best friend's wedding which was Awesome. I was her maid of honor and it was just really cool.
But Sunday I hung out with Nick and Lisa and they took me out to lunch becuase they are Awesome and then we went to the Sam's Club of Christian book stores, Berean.
Nick bought me the newest hippest book on the market.
Rob Bell's Velvet Elvis. If you have not heard it your out of the system becuase apparantly its really big.

And some of you may be shocked to read that I am already in the middle of the second chapter. I love it.

So Rob Bell states in his first chapter that the springs in a trampoline are like our christian doctrines. Their not the main point but they help get us in the air. Very simple but very in depth.

Let's face it... only Rob Bell can use a trampoline to compare to the Christian faith.

Anyways Thanks.
