| Something Strange Happened...after work the other night. I was pretty stressed out because of a number of things that I had had to deal with and what not. I walked out the door and there was a car sitting there. The car was there to pick up this guy, Bryan, that I work with. I started to walk by to my car and I hear the horn of said car beep...I'm thinkin "what the...?" and I walk over and my friend Brandon is sitting there. He said "Hey what's up? You look kind of down, are you okay?" and I explained a couple things that were bothering me real quick and he said "oh well don't let that get ya down. Tell ya what. When you get home, pick up your bible and turn to Matthew Chapter 6 Verse 25." (All this was said while he was passing a certain illegal substance to the girl in the back seat.) I smirked a little and thought "Yeah that was him just pulling something out of the air, I'm sure."
So when I got home, I had to check it out to see if he was full of it. I opened to Matthew 6:25 and there it was "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" I was completely flabberghasted. Was that him just giving some friendly stoner encouragement? Or was that some other kind of intervention? | | |
| So here I sitI'm pretty bored right now. haha Spring break is shaping up to be a whole lot of nothing. I worked 35 hours last week and yesterday was my first day off in like 5 days...yesterday was cool. now I'm bored out of my head. everyone else is working today.
I'll live I guess. I'm about to do laundry, but I thought I would play around on this for a minute.
I don't really have much of an update to give you guys. Things are basically the same as they were the last time I posted...only I'm enjoying school considerably less. I miss seeing you guys.
You know I like knowing that people actually read this thing. It gives me a reason and a way to type. haha It's usually pretty aimless and I don't know where I am goin with it. but With you guys, I know what I want to say. I just realized that..
Anywho..I'm gonna get to this laundry and probably find something to eat. Talk to you guys soon!! | | |
| Wow. So it has been a long long long time since I blogged here.
I miss you guys. I haven't been able to go to I-631 in a long time. Mostly because of my dad and his coniptions about me going. It drives me nuts. He always freaks out because it lasts "so long" but it really doesn't right? EH I dunno. The rest of why I haven't been coming is that I started working at Ruby Tuesday finally. And then there's school, too, which I just happen to be enjoying finally.
So basically life is good. GREAT even. I just miss you guys.  | | |
| so I have about 9 hours left in my Fall Break and you know what I'm gonna do? nothing. that's right...absolutely nothing. and that is wonderful.
I have worked for the past 4 days straight. maybe 5. I can't remember if I worked on Thursday 
Oh and something tragic happened today. Buford died. He's the spider that used to live in my curtain in my bathroom. I knew it was going to happen eventually because he never left his curtain...how could he eat? but it was so sudden..  .......................
I got too much sleep today. So maybe I won't miss my classes tomorrow. Actually tomorrow is promising to be a pretty good day. It's whispered in the trees.. | | |
| I figured I should elaborate on what I was talking about at I-631 for those of you that were there...this is the convo I was talking about:
Josh: i just pray for alot
Josh: I have prayed for an hour before and i didnt even know it
Me: I used to. but I don't know...I guess I thought it wasn't worth it. that there was no point for a while. but every day, I see things happen and I know that it is worth it, ya know? There's no way that it's not
Josh: yeah , I have learned about life the hard way
Josh: and i think that is the way He wants me to learn
Me: yeah.
Josh: it may be to prepare me for something bigger in the future
Josh: but that is just what I think
Me: yeah I don't know. I let things get to me for a while..and I literally just realized how much I don't deserve things that I have. AH ...I don't know...I messed up. I know that now
Josh:we all mess up
Josh: that is something we cannot get around
That conversation made me think about things I have been going through recently. I keep seeing more and more everyday that there's a reason that I'm with Josh (not technically of course as he is currently in Iraq). But he makes me see so many things that I had never seen before and I think that God did that on purpose..I know you're amazed.
I don't pray anymore. not in a long time. Not until I met Josh and he went back to Iraq. I just thought it wasn't worth it. I didn't see the repercussions at the time. But I see now that the reason he's in my life is because I was straying so far away from God. I had just been so torn in the past year probably about what to believe. I thought about things until they just seemed stupid. I went on logic instead of faith. I know better than that. But It's something that everyone goes through I think. As you further your education, you learn more things that could make you question. you just have to figure out what you want out of all of it and stick with it I guess  | | |
