  • Words fail me.

    Enlightened.  Life changing.  Eye opening.

    It's all about Going to Guard God's Global Glory.

    Did you know that the bible isn't a book about missions, it IS missions?

    Did you know that the great commission started in Genesis when God said, "Go and be fruitful and multiply" and not when Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 28?

    Cat christians and dog christians.

    God brought about diversity in order to unify which in turn gives God maximum glory.

    Why did Jesus come down to earth?  The average Christian would say "To die for our sins." and even though that isn't incorrect, it's incomplete.  How about Jesus came down to earth to glorify the Father's name?  Yes.


    I'm so on fire.  I need to tell the group about this.  It's eye opening.  I probably can't say it the same way I heard it, but I'll try to relay it.

  • Final two major things before summer ends.

    1.] Oh, it's official.  I'm preaching this Sunday.  :S  My stomach is throwing backflips, sideflips, frontflips.  Oi, what a crazy time.  I didn't think I'd actually go through with it, but it's here.  This Sunday, I preach to my church on Ephesians 4.  Unity in the Body of Christ.  They need it.  Haha.

    2.] I'm going back to the Bob in 1 week, 3 days.  Wow.  Pack, pack, pack.

  • Randoms - entry #???

    ::
    VBS was definitely a blessing.  I got good experience with a smaller classroom.  1 student gets saved and 8 confirmations of salvation.  Love it!
    ::
    At the stroke of 9 pm PST, I will battle for a parking spot!  Commence phase 1 of mission "Back to the Bubble"!  Following, phase 2!  Mission "Buy books for school!"
    ::
    I still need to finish that songbook for society or else we're stuck with old, shabby songbooks for another semester....
    ::
    A friend said that one fear of coming back to the Bob was coming back to The Group.  Said now that Mel is gone, there will be utter chaos when it comes to the group.  But I think I've matured since my freshman year....I feel like I'm not as out of control as I was before.... Can anyone vouch for that? :S
    ::
    I miss the group.
    ::
    I miss the dorms.
    ::
    Only two more weeks of freedom.  Then it's back to tucked in polo shirts with khaki's and slacks.  Which reminds me:
    ::
    I need to go back to school shopping.  Top of the list: More polos, more [BJ approved] pants.
    ::
    I had a random dream last night.  It's not use explaining because you'd have to know the people in the dream.
    ::
    Camp is the last thing to look forward to.  Booooo that it's the only thing to look forward to.  Yayyyy that it's camp.  Boooooo that I have to leave early just so I can go back to the bubble.
    ::
    I'm gonna be in the same time zone as Lhei Anne, yayy.
    ::
    I need new guitar strings for my guitar.  I think the current ones are two years old now.
    ::
    God is good.  "Praise Him for His mighty acts and His excellent greatness." [Ps 150:1,2]
    ::
    I can't wait to see everyone.
    ::
    I can't wait to see Lhei Anne.
    ::
    I can't wait to see God.
    ::
    I should join twitter.  It's more fitting to my entry style.
    ::
    Speaking of twitter, someone got sued for tweeting something about her stay at a hotel.  They consider it public advertisement and some other legal sort.  So they're sueing her for some kind of false/negative advertising so whatever that legal jargon would be called.

  • My summer's new-found burden

    "Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
    -- Luke 10:2

    The work truly -is- great.  There's so much potential in people, especially now with crises going on everywhere.

    The field of souls is ready to be harvested, but there are simply not enough true-to-the-Word, fundamental, Bible-believing workers, who really LOVE God and OBEY His commandments, to harvest the fields....

    Sad fact.

  • One month!

    So after a month on the road, I'm left with just one month of actual vacation.. Let's see what I need to get done because I love making lists. . .

    :: VBS next week
    :: Read - "More Like the Master", Jaeggli -- Bible Doctrines..
    :: Read - "Essential Virtues", Berg -- Crew Chief Training
    :: Finish Lanier songbook complete with chord'ed chorister version, which 75% of the songs I had to do by ear >__>"
    :: Start sending packages of whatever will not fit in my suitcase
    :: Send in the 360 to get fixed
    :: Get a new phone
    :: Memorize more bible verses
    :: Exercise daily until I leave [Just the basic running & push ups]

    I'm kind of pumped for the next semester... Although there will be some things and some people missing, I'm still excited to meet the new freshmen, for group bible studies, being mobile [Wooh!], and being the oldest person in the room [By APC].  Fun stuff.

    Yet, school is going to kick me in the butt.  But I know I can do it through God's grace which enables me to do anything.  I'm really looking forward to this year.

    Above anything, I know my faith in God will be put to the test through tons of adversity/trials through school, relationships, responsibilities... but I am excited that it's just another phase in life that will hopefully mature me spiritually and bring me closer to God.

    Bring it on!!!

  • Huh . . .

    Your view on yourself:

    You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

    The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

    You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

    Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

    You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

    The seriousness of your love:

    You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

    Your views on education

    You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

    The right job for you:

    You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

    How do you view success:

    You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

    What are you most afraid of:

    You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

    Who is your true self:

    You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

  • I knew it would be this hard

    being apart for so long. . . but still... i find myself wishing i could see Lhei Anne again.  And being so close, but still too far.

    I convinced my parents to visit VA at the beginning of the summer for our trip, but now things happened where it would be out of the way to do so.

    Ha...that possible hour, or maybe two, were the two hours that i looked forward to all summer. . . Now it's nothing more than a dream. A wishful thought.

    It's funny, only two hours.  Does that seem like so much? Just two hours would, seemingly, be enough for the next few months...

    On top of that, no contact at all for a week.

    Mix all together to make a recipe for a temporary potion for a really sad jeriah.

  • What happened?

    To be able to have fun without needing to get high, or drunk?
    Where having a party didn't have to include drinking and smoking?

    When did just hanging out at the park, or driving around town, or playing video games, or just hanging out at someone's house to watch tv become not fun enough to the point where you had to smoke pot or drink until you're wasted to make it enjoyable?

    I dunno.

    I'm back, back in town, and everything has changed. 
    I feel, feel let down, the faces stay the same. 
    I see, see shadows, of who we used to be. 
    When I drive, drive so slow, through this memory. 

    When we were only kids, and we were best of friends, 
    and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest. 

    I heard, heard myself say things I take back. 
    If I could, could re-tell and make these stories last. 
    I see, see shadows of who we'll always be. 
    When I drive, drive these roads that made our memories. 

    When we were only kids, and we were best of friends, 
    and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest. 

    The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest. 

    Everything has changed, 
    (everything has changed) 
    the faces stay the same 
    (faces stay the same) 

    Everything has changed, 
    (everything has changed) 
    the faces stay the same 

    When we were only kids, and our time couldn't end, 
    and how tall did we stand, with the world in our hands. 

    And we were only kids, and we were best of friends, 
    and we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest. 

    The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest. 
    The shadows and regrets, let go of the rest.

  • Just another outlet;

    "You look so beautiful today
    When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away
     So i try to find the words that i could say
     I know distance doesn't matter but you feel so far away
     And I cant lie
     Every time I leave my heart turns gray
     And I want to come back home to see your face
     And I
     Cause I just cant take it
    Another day without you with me
     Is like a blade that cuts right through me
     But I can wait
     I can wait forever
     When you call my heart stops beating
     When you're gone it wont stop bleeding
     But I can wait
     I can wait forever"
    I Can Wait _ Simple Plan

    [Maybe the part about the blade and the cutting is a little extreme, but it gets it done.  Just ease up the tone of the song a little and you'll get a snippet of what I was feeling.]
