Toozday
For some reason, I'm not really in much of a writing mood. I'd like to think that I am, but alas, I am not. I feel the need to write though. So I will.
Things have gotten hairy. I might wish I was being literal... but I'm not. It seems whenever one part of my life gets under control and looks good, another part fails miserably. I thought maybe things might change for the better for once. But what do I know? I'm not God. I'm giving it all to God. I have to, I want to, I need to. So there it is. It's in His hands now.
It happened again. I saw DaleAtl2 again. Most if not all don't know who the heck I'm talking about, but let me explain. I have a Youtube account and go on Youtube every day to check out my subscriptions. I have subscribed to this man's channel. He's not exactly the hippest, most entertaining man in the world, but I enjoy his videos. He lives around this area and does a lot of cool videos here and there about events in the Atlanta area. A while ago, we chatted over Myspace and he revealed to me that he works at KSU. I freaked out of course because he is kind of like a mini-celebrity to me. I hadn't seen him at all there until one day a couple months ago. The first time I was waiting for someone to meet me outside of the student center. I looked up and looked over, double take. "oh my god..." I recognized the face. It was DaleATL2. I know what you're thinking, "what a loser." Yeah well to hell with you then. Anyway... that was the very first time I had seen a Youtube celebrity in person. ( I did not go to the SouthTube convention last year.) This guy rubs elbows with Thewinekone and Paperlilies. I was ecstatic. Today, I was coming out of my class that is located in the library, and was paying no attention. Double take, again. He just happened to be walking into the library. I panicked and kept walking to my destination. "Oh my god, he's walking behind me!" I thought that this would be the most opportune time to introduce myself, but I kept going. "Not today, I look really bad, I've got a huge pimple there..." So folks, my cowardice knows no bounds. One day I will meet him! Today just wasn't the day.
I may be going to Romania. Romania? Of all places? Yeah, as a mission trip. If you don't know about the Orthodox church in Romania, it is extremely strict and bent on witchcraft. For example, let's say Lori spreads a dirty rumor about me and I hear about it. I would go to the church's bulletin/post in front of the church and write her name. The next morning, a church official will come out and ring some kind of bell that means there will now be a bad rumor spread around about Lori. Whatever happened to me will happen to her. The people of Romania don't see anything wrong with putting curses on any one who crosses them. It sounds like a scary place to be. It is a poor country with a per capita of about $3,300 and has a lot of children in orphanages. When we go over there, we will be working with these kids, showing them love, acceptance, teaching them confidence and showing them how beautiful and unique they are. We cannot directly do evangelism because it is not allowed and is insulting. So instead, we will be using our hands to show Christ's love. The trip will be 10 days. The time it takes to get over there will be 24 hours. I don't know if I can handle that, but if God really wants me to do this, he will make a way, mentally, emotionally, and monetarily!! I think this would be a great experience and wonderful way to put God's love into the world. I hope He wants me to go.
When I got home from hanging out with Lori tonight, I cooked dinner for my family. Nothing too special, but I really felt like cooking and was looking forward to creating a meal again. Tonight's entrée was "breaded hamburgers." It makes me laugh to think of the super creative name it was given. I would have at least named it something interesting like "Cows in a blanket" or some such nonsense. Anyway, It was pretty good and it took about an hour to get the whole meal done. I used Worcestershire sauce, garlic, egg, and onions, etc. It wasn't just lame hamburgers with breadcrumbs. I also made delicious broccoli that was cooked in cream of chicken. Hmm... is that normal? I'm just glad everyone liked it and it tasted good.
I am sorry if you have put up with my long paragraphs and lasted this long. I think I just needed to express myself a little bit, ya know?
