I’m so sick…literally. I’m so tired… Everyone that went to Mrytle Beach either was sick or became sick. It’s like a tradition or something. I got it last year and now I have it again…I think it’s just a head cold but I know it’s going around. Arg. I’m out of medicine…
I find it extremely confusing when people protest about this war. Some high school kids think they know everything there is to know about the world and therefore want to excercise their freedom of protest rights around their school. I mean, do they even know who we’re getting? Can they even spell Saddam Hussein?
And what about this “hidden motives” crap I’m hearing? So? What if the U.S. And Britian want some oil. Is that so wrong? Hey, name one thing that you have done that you didn’t have a “hidden motive”. If you look hard enough, there is a hidden, selfish, motive for everything. Case-in-point: I play my guitar because it makes me feel good. I eat because I’m hungry. I donate money to an organization because I like to help out. Yes, there can be good motives and bad but you shouldn’t judge someone because of these motives. Yes, oil is fine and good. Is it worth going to war over? Hey, I figure, we’re going in there to kick some but…let’s get some oil in the process. It’s like robbing a bank. You’re going to steal the candy while you’re there. I mean, you drove all the way there and planned it out. You might as well add petty theft to your charges.
Am I wrong here? I don’t think I am. Quite frankly, I think its these “hidden motives” that keep this war and our economy going. Our gas prices are way too high. We need more oil. I don’t drive so this doesn’t effect me direclty but it effects the overall economy.
My point is, if you’re going to protest, know what you’re talking about. I bet you if I were to interview these high school kids, they wouldn’t know why this war is even being fought…the political reasons, the security reasons, the nationalistic reasons….I bet they couldn’t even say why exactly their reasons for not having war is wrong.
Its okay to think war in general is wrong. Its a valid opinion and I can respect that. But if you’re going to spout some obscure reason, SUPPORT IT WITH FACTS!
This is all I ask.
I just took my last mid-term and I’m soooooo ready for spring break! Myrtle Beach baby! I’m really to let loose and just relax for a few days…granted, I’m going to have to do school work but at least it will be on a beach with my friends. I’m totally excited about this. I’m definately bringing back pictures!
I’m diving in
I’m going deep
In over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush
Lost in the Flow
In over my head I want to go
The river’s deep
The river’s wide
The river’s water is ALIVE
So Sink or swimI’M DIVING IN
One of my desires in life is to see the world through God’s eyes. To see the world how he see’s it — the bigger picture and how I fit into it. Does anyone feel the same way? Do you ever wonder what it must be to be this holy being that knows everything that’s going to happen? What is it like to know how everything is going to turn out? What is it like to have everything in control? How come whatever I do will not matter in the bigger scope of things? And how does it feel to leave your heart for someone, only to have it trampled on…but be willing to give it again in the hopes that they would take it this time? And what is it like to love someone to the point where you’re willing to literally bleed for them?
I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven’s door and listen to you breathing…
I’m learning to breath
I’m learning to crawl
I’m find that you and you alone can break my fall
I’m living again, awake and ALIVE
I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies.
When you take away the complications of life, all it comes down to is just breathing. The rest of life is just figuring out how to do it. Crazy thought isn’t it? Just think about it: life is just learning how to breathe, how to deal with life itself, dealing with everything around you and everything going on inside you.
Have you ever had the feeling that you’re not everything that you are suppose to be?
I’ve been listening to secular song more recently and it’s amazing that some of them still hit me as a Christian.
If I could be like that
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
I lie in my bed most nights wondering where I could be, where I want to be, and where I have been. I wonder how much my life would change, could change, has changed. I wonder…how much of this is real? How much of this will really matter?
Complacent.
If you want to experience GOD for yourself, I would personally like to encourage you take a risk, put your money on the table and see how God wants to bless you. Yeah, you’re going to be uncomfortable. Yeah, you’re not going to know everything. But, in my experiance, this is when God shows his best face.
it dawned on me yesterday that God loves showing off. Not in the prideful way humans like to do it but in a loving way. Look around you and see the nature that is before you! Look at the sky and wonder how beautiful it actually is. Look at a flower and wonder the complexity of it all.
What I also realized was that God wants to show off to me. He wants to show me he is capable. He can pull through. He can flip the odds.
Sometimes I think God isn’t adventurous but I was reminded yesterday in my reading of Wild At Heart that he takes the biggest risk of all. He offers his heart. He loves without a guarentee of getting loved back. He sets himself up time and time again. He gives his creation and his angels free will to choose him or reject him. That’s a huge risk! How often have I done that? How often have I put my heart out there without knowing what will happen?
I wanna go deeper
But I don’t know how to swim
I wanna be meeker
But have you seen this old Earth?
I wanna fly higher
But these arms won’t take me there
I wanna be
I wanna beMaybe I could run
Maybe I could fly
To you
Do you feel the same?
When all you see is blame in me?And the wonder of it all
Is that I’m living just to fall
More in love with you!
And the wonder of it all
Is that I’m living just to fall
More in love with you!
