(no subject)
Well I definitely kept my promise: I had a very productive weekend.
I cleaned my room, am trying to keep up with the laundry, finished homework, am currently studying for my History test first thing tomorrow morning, and successfully defeated Brock with my Squirtle and Rattata. <3
I guess in the middle of the night last night my sister's friend woke up in tears. My sister, being the 'shy away from emotions' type, wakes my parents up and has them deal with her. It turns out she was dealing with some pretty harsh thoughts: she was dreaming of the antichrist basically. Since she's been coming to church with us she's been coming to the Lord and trying to live her life the Christian way so to speak and to sum it up she's worried about her family because there's some shitty family issues going on there and I guess my sister's friend is only worried for them. She knows they're good people but she knows they won't be saved because they haven't accepted Jesus into their lives and she was suffering from a near panic attack because she can't do anything about it. Anywho, she talked with my parents for a good couple hours about this and some tears...all of which never woke me up and I was completely unaware of until someone told me this morning. :)
Okay back to me now. lol
Basically I'm pretty boring right now. Not too much freaking me out right now. Mainly the issue of money and my University this fall are kinda freaking my out but after talking with my step dad the stresses are pretty much dealt with. He basically sent me off to read Matthew 6:25 which says:
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifeb]">[b]">bb]">]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I realize my entry is a bit Church-y for some of you so I'm sorry? But it is my journal so I have full reigns. I'd like to remind you all that you have full reigns on which journal entries you read or skip over so fly at 'er and take the wheel! I just want to write what's been going through my head and that's, ultimately, what this journal's for so yeah. :D
