I have it in my pocket, sorry it's hard to see

I was sitting on the couch today and a friend was on the other couch while we watch the Ou Osu game. She said how she was cold and wanted a blanket and right after that my sister pointed to a blanket that she was sitting on. I thought it was kind of funny because I bet that happens to us all the time. I bet there are many times when we want what we already have, like money for instance. Many times we make enough to keep us going yet we still want more. Or say we have a decent coat but we still say we need one as we ware our current one. I just thought I was interesting how we want what we already have. Next time I think how I want something I am going to step back to see if I have it or even need it for that matter.  

Awesome Theaters

I went to the movies with a friend at the dollar theater today. The dollar theater is a huge switch from our theater uptown which is more high class. This theater however was much smaller, less clean and the screen even had been cut and stitched back together. It didn’t even matter how the theater was or that our movie stopped working towards the end, even though my friend kept making fun of it. Ultimately it doesn’t matter about the quality or fanciness of the event or place but about the company we share it with.

Of course Thanksgiving.

Today is thanksgiving. Lots of food that was eaten and many new memories were made. This is the day when everyone says why or what they are thankful for. Why do we only do that on this certain day? It isn't out of the ordinary, it is in our comfort zone because it is what we are supposed to be doing. I sometimes find thanksgiving the day were we think of the thing(s) that we should be thankful for, have been thankful for, want to be thankful for, or it is when we realize what we are thankful for. Which I suppose is what we should do.We should try to be thankful for things everyday, not just on this Holiday. I know I say a lot of things that we should do and I'm in no means trying to say I have mastered it. That is why I say 'we' and not 'you'. I am trying to work too.

Shoot the Milk

Today was a really relaxing day since I didn't have work. I did some running around for my mom and hung out with the family. By doing nothing today I saw how healthy it is for a person to just relax for a while. It makes you alive and carefree. Not much for today other than the weather was incredible and I only have God to thank for that! He controls everything and it is awesome to know that He is in control and can make the day feel so awesome!
Also. Shooting a gun through milk does not stop an explosion.

Sorry Folks

As a friend has pointed out to me countless times ... It has been a while since this blog has been updated. I am sorry for that. From not doing this and not having this on my mind all the time, I have become less aware of what I can benefit each day. But by having that friend there to remind me how long it has been since I've updated; it has kept me thinking about how or in what way I could benefit from each day I live and kept me working on trying to keep this updated. Having that person that keeps you on your toes is always a good thing!

Hearing What You Say

I played pool with a little boy I watch tonight and everytime i missed the pocket I would say "dang it" or something along those terms. After a while everytime the boy would miss he would say "dang it" . I decided to have an experiment and so everytime I missed I would change what I said to "drat", "darn it", "dang it", "aw man" and such. And funnily enough he would say whatever phrase I said without really thinking twice about it. I found it a little amusing and also interesting that words can spread from person to person really quickly. We need to really watch what we say, especially around the people we know who look up to us or respect us. Later on what we say will bite us in the face when a child or your own kid comes up and calls somebody a "frigin idiot" because they got mad.

Life Perfect?

I was reading a letter from a very very close friend of mine today and she told me that life is perfect. Which I thought was interesting because a million and one things in life isn't perfect. I kept on reading, and she said that "no what goes on in life isn't perfect, we are not perfect, and something else isn't perfect but His plan that He has for us is truly perfect and the life that He has given us with the path that we take is perfect and doesn't even come close to falling off his course. life is perfect" I thought that was really cool and I had never thought about it before. I knew God had a plan for us all and I suppose I knew that it was perfect, I didn't second guess that. I just hadn't thought of how flawless it was. His plan for us is so flawless it is incredible how everything all works together. His plan is perfect and everything is going to happen the way it should. That doesn't mean we won't sin. That doesn't mean people won't get sick. That doesn't mean wars won't occur. It means He is allowing all of it to happen because it fits in his perfect plan.

Our Job

Earlier tonight I was sitting on the floor with my friends listening to my pastor speak about our role in the church and how vital it is. While we was speaking about that I was kinda thinking about school and life, along with the sermon. and with hearing how we should be in the church I started to wonder about how we need to be in our live. We shouldn't worry too much about why we are going to college or what we are going to do and how much money we will make or how we will get by. All we need to realize is that our job is to glorify him and to reach out to those people who need Him and show them His grace and mercy and love and bring them to Him. That doesn't mean we have to drop everything and move to Africa. But we should go to school for what we enjoy, our passion and do it for Him. Allow for Him to work through us doing the things we enjoy with the goal of sharing His love. First we have to ask Him to lead us to what we wants which can change our desires but we should ask for Him also to give us the heart of understand for His will and then we can fulfill our job of being His.
