I am glad the city of Phoenix was able to get a little snow.

But I didn’t need to worry about staying out to see it because I will be going to Minnesota soon and will have a great abundance. 

I want to blog something meaningful

Blatherings of a joyful tired boy. (P.S. 1 year to go before I am officially no longer a teenager)

So yeah… I really love when people are pursuing God. It makes me super happy. I kind of see people’s lives as a line on a graph. x-axis is time and the y-axis is something related to our relationship with God, or maybe faithfulness. It really doesn’t matter what our y-intercept is, but the main thing is that we have a positive slope. Maybe someday I’ll draw my little graph, but this small description is rolling through my head right now.

Well today at family Christmas we went around giving our new year resolutions, but with a focus on prayer, and what our family members could pray about for us. It was really encouraging. There were some common themes such as laziness and lack of proactivity that needed to be worked on, but overall I loved seeing my family (this is my maternal grandparents and all there descendants) seeking God’s will in their lives. I am so blessed to be part of such a great family.

I always want my focus to be on God’s will, but in particular I want to use my time for God with his direction. At college there are so many good and fun things to do, but my plans pale in comparison to God’s. So with my limited time at school (and while at home too) I want to be doing what is most pleasing to him. So that includes how I spend my weekends, what church to go to?, club or ministry involvement?, track participation?, what bible studies?, what role video games will be in my future? I don’t want my next semester to be as uneventful and purposeless as the last month-ish of first semester was. So please God, pull me on track. This is not something I can do on my own. Te necesito todo el tiempo. 

Also pray that I shine to all those around me during these brief 2 weeks left in AZ. I want to make the kind of difference that pushes people toward Jesus, the kind of thing Christians should be focusing on I suppose. So yeah.

I hope everybody is having a fantastic time with family or friends to celebrate our Savior’s birth. It is so AMAZING that God fulfills his word and saves us all. It should be something that blows my mind really, but the full impact just doesn’t always hit me like it should.

A final note before I go to sleep on this couch as all my siblings are in the same house (a very special and rare occasion for us all to be together) is that…. uhmm… oh… forget but remembered but never mind. Good night world. (to think people from the around the world actually read this, bah! I guess it is just a phrase) 

silly computer not changing time zones

Thought I missed my flight when I looked at my computer and see that my plane was supposed to be in the air in 2 minutes and look over and see the boarding line is gone, but turns out I still have another hour. It is all good.

Most terrifying 1 1/2 hours of my life!

I hope I don’t have to do that again.

Snow

So it has been a few days since the blizzard and now there is snow everywhere. The very top is a little harder than the rest so you can grab a 4 inch chunk from anywhere and the underside is like the best snow cone you have ever had. ever. So fun feeling on the tongue. Now I just need some flavored syrups.

But tomorrow I leave and will be back in Phx at about 1. No snow for 3 weeks. Sad story! I wonder if it’ll keep in a bag in my suitcase….

shhh... don't tell anybody

I am kinda breaking a rule. But it shan’t matter in 12 hours.

So yeah, one of the best gifts ever. My bud Derek made this for me and so now my ears will be warm!!! I love it. (Though I think it may actually be the one he wore around, and that made me at first feel bad because I felt like I stole it, but it just shows how awesome he is to give up something so awesome!)

You can’t see it too well, but this is my wonderful birthday gift from a dear friend. It is an awesome polar bear with one shoe off. Relates to an inside joke.

So it took me forever to start this paper, but once I got going I was unstoppable!

Not to say it didn’t take a whole lot of time, but I think I am fairly happy with it. Not struggling as much as I thought I would to keep it down to 4 pages. Maybe slightly redundant, but not too bad. I went with the obvious theme of God’s sovereignty, but didn’t want to focus on the Messianic themes. idky

Why do I crave distractions?!

P.S. I have a runny nostril and a watery eye. What in the world is in the right side of my sinuses!! 

P.P.S. I will be up late writing a paper that goes over the Prophetical books while adding in a chapter that kind of ties the whole Old Testament together. And it can’t be longer than 4 pages. oy!

the 8 days of Chanukah ended two days ago. All my classes ended today. This year ends soon. My ability to stay awake is rapidly diminishing. Need to spend time in the Word. 

Dex, say Hello to Kim

There is a boy in Minnesota who has the same Buzz Lightyear cup. In the words of his best friend and my new best friend, “SUCCESS”. 

Success.

Sweet Success!!

So, lots of homework tonight

Some of the most amazing photos ever.

There are several photos there, and then you can got to a different week and get a whole new set! Will make awesome desktop backgrounds!

Okay, this may look like a potholder, but this is the yarmulke that I will be wearing when I open my Chanukah gifts!! It started yesterday so I opened 4 today because I got them a day late. It was such an awesome surprise when I went to the mail center to pick up a package from my Dad, and then someone pointed out I had TWO packages! It was from Hallie and Emily! my Ohio friends. I hurried back to Naz and opened them up. I was literally jumping for joy! When I opened the package from Hallie/Emily, I opened the card and saw the number 8 and Chanukah and I got thrilled out of my wits. (I don’t know if that expression will catch on, but I kinda was). Thank you so much friends for helping me celebrate God’s greatness during Chanukah.
