Report.
I often think about how much we underestimate the power of god. "When he is silent he is working magic in our hearts." Silently placing thoughts and little whispers in your mind.
Yesterday Jeff gave a sermon during Highschool service that left me thinking. He asked us questions about how we live our life outside of church. What we see in our hearts when we look deep. What he said was humbling in a way. I'm constantly going to church, i wear that cross around my neck, and carry that bible around in my purse. I sat in my room for awhile and asked myself questions. I think what it all came down to was: Am I setting aside time outside my church life for god? Am I truely living my life for him and only him?
Truthfully? The answer to both these questions was not what I had hoped for. It was upsetting knowing what had happened had gone unnoticed for so long. Being so consumed in this world makes you blind to the things so much greater than it. Sure, I was living my life for God. He just was not the centeral focal point anymore. I think we all get a little sidetracked at times. We focus on all the wrong things.
What did i do about it? Well let's just say I had a long talk with the big man up stairs. I think I've come to an understanding in what im supposed to be doing and where I am supposed to be.
On another note this weekend was definately a good one:
Friday: Lauren and Cecily came over for awhile and watched movies. Tallia and Alex came over for a little bit and showed me this lovely video. Got a great nights sleep.
Saturday: Went out to lunch with my mom. We never get to talk anymore because of dang highschool. Then we went to a used book store and got some really good books. Went to a pottery painting thing. Next went to Chris' house to watch a movie and got to talk to him about some stuff. Then Ciara and Kristen came over to watch a movie followed my the lovely kevin
Sunday: Went to church. Went to a Nertz Party at chris' house that lasted the whole day. Im no good! Ten went home and taught my mom Nertz and she taught me SPIT! good game!
