So I came to a weird realization. And let me help you follow my train of though. I’m not sure where I’m going in life, but I know I want to change the world. But I relized I don’t have desires of a different kind.
As I’ve thought about dating and whatnot, something of note I’ve come to relize is that its best to be equally yoked. Even past just being christians, our goals and dreams must be equal. Our hearts must have a similar mission and call.
Currently I’m writing this from a fundraiser dinner, where the girl has known for years that she wants to go to africa, uganda specifically, and has had this longing and desire for ages.
Another gal I know wants to and desires just to go and live in honduras after her degree to work and minister…
As I’ve thought about it, I have no… Great desire to go to other places. Well I don’t have much vision for when and where I’m suppose to minister to.
I know for now I’m suppose to work on these guys but sometimes I really feel that I’m not doing a great enough of a job. I have been wanting to go back to the west side of the state but haven’t felt led to go back yet. So I feel I’m trying to prepare as best I can but don’t know what else I’m suppose to do.
So I’m looking for vision. Wish there was some concept and brand/branding classes I could take.
So yeah…. i want to kill all the members on my team cept 1…. one of them is the most arrogant n00b ive ever met. he thinks because he went to boy state and got a 4.0 in AP chem, and talks about them constantly and reminds people constantly about them, that hes the most pro thing in the world. i admit i can be arrogant at times, but i go out of my way to try and keep my mouth shut and listen to other people and really be nice -_- and im still struggling with this guy. and then the co-leader i guess u could call her…. freaks out when people are around or if her music isnt on or the page isnt lined up right. she claims OCD but shes never been OCD about anything in her life. she claims she cleans but ive seen her room, its the dirtiest thing in the world, so it peeves me alot because any neutral music put on is dismissed as gay and she wastes sooooo much time, working on the computers where the most work needs to be done. ive lost about 4 hours work time today waiting or putting it off to work on minor things because she sits around fiddling with crap.
oh gosh then theres the directors duaghter. well grand daughter… The director of skillsusa for the state of washington is a really neat man, however he spoils that child rotten. he freaking handed her a $100 bill to go shopping… and then left…. and this apparently isnt the first time shes recieved money since sat night. This pisses me off for alot of reasons. mostly because i hate flaunting of money, i hate it. also she flaunts infront of kids who dont even have money for food on this trip. now she doesnt know this, but its a simple lesson everyone should learn early (i know i did) that you can be blessed and modest. but that little brat is spoiled rotten and rotting even faster. now shes about 15 now i guess, and shes like… boy crazed. meaning for majority of sunday she followed me around freaking everywhere because she was bored.
all in all… i have no idea how ima get through a presentation tomorrow thats not even finished or practiced. i guess we get up early tomorrow and get to work, but curfew is soon too so i gotta leave. please pray. i may kick one guy off the team though if he continues to be a ….. something im not willing to type >.>
Well, I have finished all my stuff for the semester except an optional final and then I WILL BE DONE for the semester. I passed my Writing class so I can go further on in my department which is a huge praise report. I have a SkillsUSA Conference coming up this weekend so I’ll let you all know how that goes. I’ve been meaning to make food and post it up on here too, but my mom has been here for ages so I have not had to cook . I may also go into a business this semester, meaning I’ll help build and run it and own it with a friend who just graduated with an Entrepreneurial degree. So yeah keep me in your prayers that I finish strong.
Well, just to update you guys, Its spring break and i decided to stay in pullman. I’m staying in pullman and apparently working 8 hour shifts at a community daycare as a volunteer. Now the volunteer hours help alot with my resume aswell as a class i need volunteer hours for. However, most of all I’m applying for a summer job with them >.> . Its amazingly and i never thought i would, but im working with midgets and enjoying it and yeah….. >.> . PLEASE pray i get the job over the summer, that will help with tuition costs and hopefully a wii >.>
Ok this doesnt make alot of sense as a start but bear with me.
To give some context, watch this video:
ok so basically, leeroy wipes his entire party because he ran in and “leeroyed” the entire party. He was crazy to run into the room and pop all the eggs.
Now consider life. When was the last time we did something crazy? When was the last time God told us to do something crazy His glory but we said, “meh im fine right here.” You may say to yourselve, “thats never happened,” but what about those times when you felt you really should talk to someone standing accross the street but ignored them? The person at church who looks new but they seem fine so theres no need to talk to them? When was the last time we really stepped out to show Gods love to others?
What if PALS (the guild from the leeroy WoW video), was really God? what if PALS said, “this should never work, but we’re gonna do it anyways because it has a long term ramification,” and leeroy ran in, and God pwned the entire room. Philipians 4:13 “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
Why is it dificult for us to take these steps in faith? Matthew 21:18-22, “Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Now think of Indiana Jones: The last crusade
He was able to take the step, but that was for his father. In turn, why cant we do this for our heavenly father?
Mark 10:13-15 ” 13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. ”
Jesus used the term “verily.” In other places he says “verily verily i tell you the truth,” as a more emphasis on his meaning, yet in regards to taking the steps of faith we need to, we need to know that this is a fact.
Fact is defined as: “Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.” Now when we’re younger, if our mom or dad tells us to not cross the street without looking both ways or we’ll get turned into tomato soup, isnt that a fact? if our parents tell us to wash the dishes or else, isnt this a truth? If our parents say if we dont get to bed soon santa wont come, isnt that a fact?
Luke 11:11-13 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[a] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
This is also a fact.
luke 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
in light of the above, let us take crazy steps and actions. Let us take steps knowing God has our back. We dont play by the rules of earth, we play by Gods rules, and he has the big picture. Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.” Let us be freaks for Christ and take those steps and leeroy without a second thought, having the security of God behind us when we are walking in the spirit with our heavenly Father.
well, im retaking a media writing class that sucks…. really badly. and apparently even though ive taken it 1x before, its still hasnt helped me. ive gotten more consistant C’s (which doesnt help because i need a C+ average to pass) i guess and i havent failed anything yet but i really need to improve and do better to pass. if i dont pass then i’ll have to skip nationals for skillsusa to take the summer class or get special permission to take this class again during the fall -_- . this class has been the gayest experience yet at college and its really kinda discouraging when u get there 2 hours every day to practice and read and buy extra books to read and learn and you still dont improve or get better grades in it. so please pray for me as i try and pass this class, along with everything else in life. lately ive been really home sick for my old friends, hangouts, food, etc. The people here are kool in all, but im some ways i still struggle to fit in as a passionate gamer/geek.
First off i want to say: if you say happy holidays…. go wash your mouth out with soap and get use to saying MERRY CHRISTMAS. its freaking gay when you people dont say Merry Christmas, it really is.
Pray for me as i try and witness to a good friend of mine and another buddy is gone lukewarm on me and im trying to be a light but this place is brutal. while on the ferry, the closer i got to the island, the more oppressed spiritually i was. thoughts of hatred, anger, depression, etc, started flooding my mind until i realized what was happening and its pretty brutal so please pray for me.
I’ll be here for a while so yeah. hope to check ya’ll later
So my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. their doing a pre-lim surgery to check his lungs for a couple things this wednesday pray for that and then the following tuesday he goes in possibly to get his prostate removedz. thank you in advanced for prayerz
hey ya’ll this is the first time ive asked for prayer in a while but yeah. Im taking this really lame com. 295 media writing course and i need it to certify in communications, meaning i need a C+ . but so far all ive gotten are C’s on assignments and D’s on the quizes. quizes are only 10% of the final grade but every little bit counts. and i mispelled a name on my last assignment so that was an auto-fail on that assignment. for me if i put my mind to it, usually i improve, but im hitting a brick wall no matter how hard i try. im also extremely lonely. not like ghetto depressed lonely, ive learned how to get around that one, but it just kinda aches alot when im alone. plus i dont really fit in that well here since im use to the tech scene in seattle, the main constrast is people play outside or are good at everything but technical or gaming, so when i go outside and never get a frisbee thrown my way or sit and watch people play volleyball and basketball after friday night youthgroup because i suck immensly at both, it gets old after a while. Im also dead tired, mostly because ive been doing school since….. january without any breaks, and any school breaks (3-day weekends) my parents fill up with stuff they “need” me to do. so yeah, thats just me right now. thanks
Used a swiffer for the first time. Not bad device... I don't know where this odd flowery smell came from I just noticed throughout the house http://twitter.com/atownbt8 hours ago
. I may also go into a business this semester, meaning I’ll help build and run it and own it with a friend who just graduated with an Entrepreneurial degree. So yeah keep me in your prayers that I finish strong.
