  • Newsboys "When the Tears Fall"

        When hope is lost, I'll call you Savior,

        When pain surrounds, I'll call you Healer

        When silence falls, you'll be the song within my heart.

     

    Right now I have a thousand thoughts on my mind. So much stuff. God is good to me. He always has been. So many times I've messed up and so many times he's taken me back...every time. He put's people in my life that have help me greatly. I don't know what I'm wanting to say here...I guess here's my thoughts:

    Last night was an awesome time where I felt some barriers being broken. I woke up this morning started with a Bible study and it was awesome. I don't have that warm feeling right now and I know that's okay...it just isn't as much fun.

    I have 3 papers I need to get done and I have no motivation. I also have a 200 Greek vocab test Thursday.

    Girls...lol. I've realized in the last few weeks that I've been working too hard. It's like I have to work to find and date the girl I'm gonna marry. God basically told me to shut up because that's His department, not mine. He'll take care of it so I shouldn't worry....easier said than done.

    Evangelism. I desire for God to use me. I try to listen to the Spirit because I haven't a clue how to talk to certain people. I know it may be uncomfortable. I just want to make the most of the opportunities that are presented.

    Life is good. Crazy, great, horrible, easy, and hard all at the same time. Makes it interesting I guess.

  • Life in general

     

      Life has been going rather well. School is somewhat harder. I'm really trying to break that habit of procrastination. I've been putting that off for a while...hmmm....irony.

     Initiations are better than ever. Last night was awesome. We've really tried to make initiations a more spiritual experience. Instead of just dumping crap on people...we now dump crap on people for God.J/k...Seriously though, who would have thought making things more spiritual would bring people closer together...I can't believe no one thought of that before. It seems the general approach of the past was: "Let's put these freshmen through a lot of crap and they will come together." The idea is true but I think it lacks a spiritual side. The army puts people through crap. I like how now we are now having a reason for everything we do. They go through crap but they see the spiritual and social side of it. And this year has had the most corrprative, fun group I've seen.

     

    Anyways...Life is good. Spiritually...i'm behind a bit and anyone who would like to offer encouragement...it would be nice. For those of you who read this...I try to make people smile and be there for them. It is therefore hard to be real with people when I'm having a bad day. I put on a face and roll with it. I just get so frustrated... it feels like God wants and expects so much out of me. I have this constant pull that drives me to go above and beyond with my faith...usually I don't go with that pull. Then I see people who seem to be satisfied with where they are. they can make perverted comments and be okay with it, they can not read the Bible and be okay with it, they can gossip like crazy and be okay with it. I'm not okay with thiose things for me. I'm glad God has called me to a higher standard...don't get me wrong. This rant is about how I sometimes I get frustated that I can't be satisfied like them. I know i'm better off. I want more of God and that requires more of me. It's just frustrating sometimes.

     

    Whew...that was my 1st xanga rant. Kinda nice. Love you all...God Bless.

    The N-Turn Ship

    It Has been a ride. This has been a very good summer. I really am going to miss these kids. I feel that God has used me to make a pretty good impact. I was blessed and got the chance to baptize 3 of the kids while I was here. I really haven't had too many horrible situations. Praise God for that! There's a lot that can go wrong especially when dealing with kids but they were cool and things went great. We have a lock in tomorrow night which I am pumped for. Hope you all are having a great summer and I'll see most of you back at school Lord willing. You being my 2 readers and all. Ta Ta!
