Having supplied myself with a sufficent amount of potatoes, steak, and mac and cheese, I thus begin my journal entry.
Well i woke up at about and had to hide from the girls... no seriously I did because my sister was having a sleep over and I wear shorts to bed so I come out of my room and then I'm like I should probably grab my robe so I did and it was a good thing I did because I come downstairs and there are too many, i mean six girls chatting noisily away over french toast. Though I did get french toast out of the deal.
After the breakfast bonza and a bunch of donuts. Oh yeah, I went to work and brought back a ton of donuts. Don't you wish you saw me today. lol So anyway I dropped some donuts off and Ben's house last night and got to scare of Ben's friends that I threw a water balloon at last year. I missed her she was pretty cool. She's like an audi, lol which is definitely a good thing. Awww, now I miss audi, Audi we need to hang out, with Robbie too :). And I keep ac-choo, sneezing. Grrr... I have work at 6 until close
Oh but I didn't tell you guys about my devos yet, lemme grab my book. Okay my favorite verse from what I read today was Philippians 3:13 which is sorta long but there was a sentence in it that hit me.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Now I know that is a lot to read but look at this part
"Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."
Now isn't that what I have been learning. That God has put my past mistakes behind Him so I should do the same. But then I thought what is my goal. I mean to be honest my old goal was to find a beautiful girl and do anything to make her happy. I take that back. Find a beautiful girl who liked me, and then make her happy. So I asked myself what would Jesus do in my situation.
So then I thought to a conversation that I had with the lovable Amy Clark and we were talking about our futures and what we wanted to do. I said that I love doing drama and stuff with teenagers. But I just don't think I would want to be a teacher. So I signed up for Accounting. Will that make me happy? Maybe
But what does God want me to do, that is what puts me on a little edge. I know from the past that I have to trust God if I want to make good decisions, but sometimes that little voice inside is hard to hear.
Another thing I realized is I love telling people about what God is doing in my life but I don't always talk about the things that I am struggling with. For instance, I have really tried to stop watching tv because I'll sit there for an hour or two and at the end feel worse, not better.
And watching tv gives a screwed up version of beauty. For example I have a friend named Rachel okay? She is such a beautiful person and in the least perverted way possible, I would like to say that God gave her a beautiful body. But she thinks she's overweight and it just blows my mind. I'm like girl, you have everything a girl could want and you want to change that? I got a little sidetracked but yeah craziness.
And I really want to learn how to dance. Like the right kind, not acting like I am dancing, but actually dance. Someone from Florida was teaching me how to dance and I was so happy. But now she's in Ohio which makes things kinda hard.
Well I gotta get ready for work, so I will end this little journal, oh I gotta remember to ask Justin when the party is. Much to do and little time... oh too many donuts. later, love ya all
