  • Somewhere around 18 months ago I said "Just when you're learning to live with the way things are, they all change up on you." Funny thing is, I didn't realize that's the way it ALWAYS is... I feel like my life is up in the air again... yet in reality that's exactly where it's better off at... if you know what I mean. God controls everything - even when we want to. More now than ever I'm trusting God that Romans 8:28 is true... "For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose." Looking over my shoulder I can see that God worked everything out in my past INCREDIBLY and I'm grateful for all of it. But what is it they say? "Hindsight is 20/20"? So true... Looking forward in life, I can't see what's around the corner. That scares me... So "foresight" is non-existent. The only thing I can count on is that God will be here with me no matter what. That should comfort me... and it does to an extent. But I can't seem shake this feeling of a "fear of the unknown"...

  • Well, even though most people never read Xanga anymore, I figured I would go ahead and post.

    So. Lately I've been filling out bazillions of college forms for financial aid, or "Texas Core Questionnaires" or something like that. it's getting old, because I used to like filling out forms and applications - don't ask why. but now it's beginning to become a real chore. Oh well, Sometime this Fall when I'm in college I'l probably be glad I did it all. Hopefully.

    Oh, also, I'm looking at buying a truck. It's a ford. not cool, but oh well. it runs good and has a relatively new, rebuilt transmission. It's a good price and I think it's a good deal. Although I wish I could get a Chevy... :-/ But like they say, beggars can't be choosers. Not to say that I'm a beggar... but. nonetheless, I'm hoping it'll work out that I can buy it, 'cause if I do end up going to Dallas Baptist University, then I'll obviously need a car to commute every day for classes. So that would be an answered prayer.

    Well anyways... I didn't really have anything to say in the first place, I just thought I'd say something...

    Oh! one more thing. I'm now working at Chick-fil-A - again. But I'm just working on Saturdays. It's a good way to earn money for car insurance... so that's good.

    anyways. yeah that's all, folks.

  • The biggest single cause of the breakdown of the American family is that so much of what we would call ''love'', the first American Puritans would have called idolatry.
