    A song..

    July 27, 2005

    Tweet “Some People Change” His old man was a rebel yeller, bad boy to the bone, and say can’t trust a color feller, hejudge em by the tone of their skin. He was raised to think like his dad narrow mind full of hate on the road to no where fast till the grace of god got in the way then he saw the light nhit he’s knees n cried and said a prayer, rose up a brand new man n left the old one right there [Chorus:]Here’s to the strong, thanks to the brave don’t give up hope some people change against all odds, against the gray love finds…

    ?confused..again?

    July 24, 2005

    Tweet I think if you go to my archives somewhere I have a post entitled “?confused?”..but alas that is where I am once again. I don’t know what I am doing or what I want to do and most importantly what God wants me to do. Ever since I have graduated I have had this desire to get into youth ministry. I want to be a youth leader or a coach or something that gets me interacting with teens. I mean, I am still a teen myself, but I want them to realize how much of an impact what they are doing has on others and on themselves both now…

    Before the internet..

    July 18, 2005

    Tweet Life had to be simpler. And easier to work on things like patience. When we didn’t have cell phones and e-mail and you couldn’t get ahold of someone it was ok. You just left a message or waited until they got home. Now if you can’t reach someone you get irritated, impatient, and in my case, mad at them. Is it really their fault that even though they are reachable through cell phone, e-mail, and phone that I can’t reach them? And why is it so important that I talk to them. Does it show my dependence on others? And my lack of dependence on God..YES. I want that…

    Staring..

    July 12, 2005

    Tweet Sometimes I look in the mirrorAnd the girl staring back at meIs not the one I want to seeI see all the mistakesAll the broken promisesCommitments made and then forgotten I see a life marred by sinA girl who wants so hard to follow ChristBut gets so easily entangled in the worldAnd then wonders what went wrongDetermination that is deterred by othersStrength that is weakened in moments of indecision And then I slowly crawl back into the arms of GodPouring out my tears and fears and moments of regretKnowing this is where I should have been all alongInstead of trying so hard on my ownAnd for one moment I…

    I Miss You..

    July 12, 2005

    Tweet I think about you often my fair-weathered friendI see your face all around me and I wonderCould I have done something different?Could I have changed your course of life?Where did you go?Why did you change what I loved about you?Was it too hard to live the upright life?Was it too difficult to follow the narrow path?Haunting is the thought Of where you have been and where you will goOf the consequences that might ariseAnd the pain you might carry foreverWill you change your course?Will you turn around? Can you give it all up?Can you come back to the narrow path?Or are you forever goneEntrenched in your waysAnd dug deep…

    Failure

    July 5, 2005

    Tweet In my life, failure has never been an option. I would quit before I would admit failure–which has led to a lot of broken relationships, half-tried sports and activities, and a life full of a lot of things which I have nothing to show for. I could list for hours the lessons I have taken, sports I have attempted, commitments I have made, and things I have walked away from because I wasn’t the best or I knew I would fail. And honestly, I wish I would have tried harder at things. I wish I would have stuck with something and practiced it-even if I wasn’t ever the star.…

    July 5, 2005

    Tweet I want to write, but the words aren’t coming today. There are so many thoughts swirling around in my head–I stayed up till 3 o’clock in the morning hashing them out..and I still haven’t come to any conclusions. And now I have to go back to work so I will write more later..

    Christian??

    June 24, 2005

    Tweet Have you ever thought about what you are doing with your life? How you are living every moment? Do you think about the people watching you? Do you even care? Is it all about me and how I feel?? Are Christians raising the banner of Christ high or are we smashing His work on the cross to a mere religion that no one else wants to follow? I got a really neat job this summer, but I must say it has opened my eyes to one major flaw with Christianity. We far too often lose our witness to unsaved people because we do stupid things. I work with the…

    Never Never Land

    June 23, 2005

    Tweet That’s where I want to go! I hate this idea of growing up and becoming a responsible adult. I want to stay a highschooler. I want to be able to mess up and blame it on my immaturity. I want to stay out till 2 in the morning and sleep in late. As much as I was looking forward to graduation-this has been a trying summer already. I got two jobs that forced me to grow up fast and become responsible. And honestly, I hate it. I have had to give up so many trips and times with friends cuz I had to work or I had to be…
