Home for the weekend

Screwtape

have you ever felt like you were drifting away from God? Have you ever read the screwtape letters? If not its about a demon that tries to pull a guy away from God. The best success he has is when he distracts the guy in really minor ways. It doesnt happen all at once but the devil tries to slowly drag you away from God so once you start to realize whats happening God seems out of reach. Dont let the devil even start to drag you away. Show him what ur made of and if life is dragging you down you must be doing something right.

Im such a dork

So last night I went to my first college party. Of course I didn't drink or anything but seriously, it was a ton of fun. Peer pressure is so over rated, saying no was easier than counting to 3 but I guess thats just me. But I met some sweet people and everyone loved me by the end of the night. I felt really out of place in the beginning but it turned out to be a fun night and a good learning experience.

I used to ask myself "What is God's big plan for my life?" and "Am I ready for it?". The answer for now is this: Before you listen to God about moving to Africa or something u need to listen to him every day about the little things. Sitting with lonely classmate, smiling at the person you don't like very much, praying for someone, going to bible study...Once we learn to hear his voice and do the little things he asks of us, we will be able to hear the larger calls and be ready to accomplish them.

Dang there are so many distractions here

my priority list as of now...

1. classes

2. soccer

3. friends

Then God comes in somewhere below this.

I know I need to figure out a way to fix it but I haven't found it yet.

I wish I had something interesting to write about but life is pretty normal right now. Good but normal. I love my soccer team and everyone on it, my floor rocks, I live for meeting new people, the weather is perfect, and i love crunching fallen leaves with my scooter on my way to class. Ya Razor scooters r the bomb.

I see them everyday and they look just like us.

I hear them and they sound like us.

I know their whole story and it's the same as ours.

I know their feelings and we have the same ones.

Everything about them makes me miss you.

Everything about them breaks my heart.
