I just love watching/listening to this!

A prayer for the finding of my checkbook please.

And for my spiritual growth while your at it.

Finally getting a credit card. I probably could have received a good amount of cash-back by now if I did this earlier.

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. “Where do you want to go?” was his responce. “I don’t know,” Alice answered. “Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.””

I feel like this is my life sometimes. I see the different roads, but I don’t know which to take. I am waiting for my response. If I were asked that question, my response would be, “Wherever you want me to go.” Quiero saber la voluntad de mi Dios, pero necesito tener fe.

I need naps more often. That was nice.

Even the most beautiful of architecture can't compare with the earth God has created.

Imperfection

You know those days when you have a bad zit and it is pretty darn noticeable? (Maybe you don’t cause you have good complexion or are a girl who uses cover-up well) Well I had one of those again; twas right above the lip. One friend asked what happened to my lip and then apologized once I told him that it was a “bad zit.” I wasn’t offended, ‘cause that is just part of life. But what if our emotional and spiritual problems were just as noticeable? Do people just ignore them and wait for them to go away, or do they ask whats up but then forget about once they realize it is something more? Do we hide signs of problems of our life like we hide signs of non-beauty? This isn’t really a good metaphor, but whatever, I’m not perfect. Do we try to be real, or do we try to appear perfect? It may not be a conscience choice, but you know, just a series of small decisions that display a certain appearance.

And who said humans can’t talk to animals 

I look like a bum in my picture

Substitution isn't acceptable

Lost film of some Europeans? Hopefully they will find this guy. Also, incredibly well done video.

Hulu responds, thus Hulu is great.

Preface: I sent Hulu some feedback about their desktop player, and boom! months later I get a response. What a great company. (I took out the non-personalized stuff)

 

"Hi David,

First, my sincere apologies for the delay in response. Thanks for the feedback about the timeline covering subtitles. …

Thanks,
James
Hulu Support”

lol

Do I do it just because I know I shouldn't?

or rather, because I know I should be doing other things?

"Do you feel closer to God now than you did this morning?" -Matt Takata

I answer “Honestly, no,” and I think to myself, whose fault is that.

"What can you do to change that?" -MT

Do what you freakin’ have to do David.

2 Peter 1:5-7

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, ⁶and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with perseverance, and perseverance with godliness, ⁷and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

That is a lot of supplements. I mean ending in love I think is a point, showing the importance. But which ones do we tend to forget? virtue? steadfastness? knowledge? or maybe brotherly affection and love? With the word supplement I think of vitamins, and these are like the daily vitamins we need to increase our faith.

(Post-Thought: Do I need to look closer at the order aside from the last one?)

no sleep = no think

This is kinda blowing my mind. I don’t know how I like science anymore. God has set this universe up in a crazy manner.

oh the joys of listening to high school and middle school jazz bands all day.

But at least I make a nice buck.

Answer people’s texts. It is impolite to do otherwise.

Sometimes I just feel so young and immature. But maybe that is cause I am. I feel like I should be writing something with more substance. But I am not. Obviously. So we’ll see if this changes in time. Well it will. Hopefully. How much time is the question.

The feeling that it has been forever since I have seen people is wearing off, and thus so is my impulses to jump and give hugs to mis amigos. (wearing off, but still occasionally there)

I want to live a life to praise God.

like my Oma and Opa.

Winter break regrets - not yet. I will probably get back and remember a bunch of work that I had wanted to do.

Me for the last 4 hours, but with occasional jellos, pudding, and apple sauce. Thanks mum!

haha, funny (irony? I can't think on an empty stomach)

I just noticed I asked for wisdom but am getting my wisdom teeth out. hehehe

Wisdom teeth out in an hour.

Leading a bible study in 24 hours hours. Lord give me the wisdom and capacity.

Affirmation

Why is that I don’t find my complete satisfaction from knowing that God loves me? Knowing that no matter what, he is going to be there for me? Why must I be insecure and desire to be affirmed. 

Crap, I just refreshed this page and lost everything. I don’t remember exactly what all I said. So here is the abbreviated version.

I desire verbal affirmation cause I lack assurance in my social nature. I don’t want sympathy from readers (though I could take these feelings I have to apply to interactions with others to be more positive with others), but would prefer prayers that I grow with God in his ultimate security. Because he is the only duct tape that can fix this cracked pot.

Jesus,

Who am I to be able to call you by name? Who am I to be able to experience just the sliver of glory that you have shown me? Lord, teach me how to follow you. Where you go I’ll go. Where you stay, I’ll stay. When you move, I’ll move. I will follow Abba. Who you love I’ll love. How you serve, I will serve. Jesus teach me how to take these empty words and make them whole. Teach me how to let go and take hold. Teach me how to continue to move forward, even as I am trembling with the fear that the next step hold. Use me this year Jesus. Mold and shape me this year Abba. Let me become all that you wish for me to become. Don’t let me hold me back. I love you Jesus. 

Lord,    ^.  

Amen.
