HH: the city that never sleeps
mario kart and fuzion frenzy are the sex. so in the last 4 days ive like slept a totaly of 7 hours and surprisingly im not very tired. however i do feel like im missing organs or something bc everything hurts. but its pretty much worth it bc i've had a really fun few days before all my friends are leaving for summer. im staying in gainesville and if you've ever been in gainesville over the summer, you know that its like a totally different place than it is during the year... i cant wait, although i will greatly miss all of my friends that arent going to be here.
So its so crazy how my days consist of things ilke homework, hanging out with my friends, cleaning my room, working at zax, etc. but so many of my friends are "moving on with their lives" liek getting married, or having kids, or moving away, or getting jobs. i hear random news about old high school friends that are gone off and living "real lives". all i can say is that right now, im glad thats not me. im not ready for it. my heart is not ready for it. the real world is scary. and so are giant centipedes. they have those in peru, so i hear... which is where im headed to on sunday. im a little scared solely bc its unknown to me, but im more pumped and excited about peru than scared. i cant wait. thank you to all of you who are on my prayer team and that are praying for me and tara for this trip. it means more than you know. check out the giant centipede: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CL2hetqpfg
So i went to this worship service thing in turlington with tara and joanne and it was pretty freakin sweet. it was like "blue liek jazz" when he's with all the hippies, (but these ppl werent really hippies and didnt smoke pot) there was jsut complete submission to God in worship. like yelling out things and dancing around and lifting hands and stuff. that is real unrestraint in worship. no one cared what anyone else looked like or sounded like, where they came from, or what they wore. i wish all worship was like that, but the fact of the matter is that we worship in restraint. We sing "i will become even more undignified than this" and i feel awkward dancing around in most settings. what the heck?? i know i shouldnt but i do. we should all be getting rowdy!! In the Bible, people went bizerk when someone uttered the name of God. THey freakin flipped out with joy. i want to worship liek THAT. the most amazing thing though is that joanne told one of the people that tara and i were going to peru and they totally just saw that as an opportunity to bless us and pray over us. they all laid hands on us a shared with us what they saw for our trip. one lady said that she wanted peace for my family who was weary about letting me go. and that was sweet because she obviously didnt even know about my family situation but she totally hit the nail on the head. God is awesome. and those turlington "hippies" know it.
"the greatest single cause of atheism in the world today,
Is christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips,
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable"
