| This is long, but you should read it.
Wow... Well God has really made a revelation in my life. I've been
thinking and talking to friends about how I've been so unhappy, and my
prayer has been for God to just give me this one thing I need to be
happy... And Jennie said something that really stuck out to me...
God is not interested in my happiness. God is interested in my character and joy.
I know this sounds cruel at first, but keep reading.
I
always knew they weren't the same thing... But I never really took it
to heart. Happiness is only temporary. It's just an emotion. Sure, I
can find happiness in a lot of things in this world, but not joy.
Nothing in the world could fufill what my heart really desires. They're
just earthly distractions from what really matters. I've found that if
I put any hope in the things of this world, they'll just let me down.
They always will. And thank God for that.
There is absolutely
nothing in this world that could ever compare to the hope I have in
Christ. Everything I've ever gained on this earth is useless. They're
just empty distractions. They'll never give me joy, and they're not
gonna last.
Often when I'm praying, I ask God for things that I
want. Things that I need to be happy. But the truth is... God doesn't
care about me being happy. That may sound cruel at first, but God wants
something so much better for me. Joy. And that's what he's given me,
and I'm more than content with it. Joy is so much more fufilling than
any happiness I could get out of the things of the world.
God
gave me the one thing I wanted most on the earth, and it meant more
than ANYTHING to me. Even more than my relationship with him... But
then he took it away and really broke me. This has been the greatest
and hardest lesson of my life, and I'm really thankful for it.
Sometimes to really get something into your head, you have to learn the
hard way.
I realize that truely following God isn't the popular
thing to do. People will think you're crazy, and people are going to
treat you badly because of it. Even other people who call themselves
Christians are going to think less of you because you're not lukewarm
like them, but fully seeking to serve God in everything you do. You
can't serve two masters, you either live for God or you live for
yourself. You can't serve God and hold on to the things of the world.
Thank God that my hope isn't in being accepted or anything else in this
world. I am in this world, but I'm not of it.
"No
one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the
other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other." (Luke
6:24)
Yes, I'm still a sinner, and I know I will fall
short and lose sight of the things that matter... But God is always
going to be there with open arms to pick me up again.
Some would
say they think that it's amazing how stupid we are to run away from God
and just do our own thing on the earth... But I don't think that's the
amazing thing. I think the amazing thing is that no matter how much we
run from him, curse him, and spit in his face, he keeps on chasing us. Hallelujiah.
Also, I love Relient K.
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said "I miss you son, come home"
And my sins they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was my love I'd wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no "I told you so"s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God, I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed You

Ok guys... I saw the 12:00 showing... and I LOVED it.
Most people hated it. All my friends were talking about how the other 2
were better and I thought it was complete cooperative thick sarcasm
because I thought it was such an amazing movie. So as I'm trying to
convince them I loved it everyone is like "shutup dude i'm not falling
for it!" and I had no idea who was kidding and who wasn't. Soooo
confusing. But really, for me, 10 out of 10.
This is mostly why I'm writing this. Watch the movie and enjoy the
comic relief, just enjoy all of the movie whether it's tense or funny
or whatever. A lot of it was really intense by the way. Watch it with
people you can joke about it with.
It was amazing. Screw everyone. I love you. | | |

| So at the begining of the season I pretty much predicted the Colts as the superbowl winners. Give me money right now. Next year is Panthers, after they crush Redskins in the NFC championship.... Maybe. Mark my words just in case I'm lucky enough to be right.
