Random Thoughts

and they really are random...



1. What's wrong with Christians today? I'm by no way perfect in my walk with Christ. I am very aware of this. Even so, that does not mean we should not care what we say and do to others, forsaking the parts of the Bible that force us to acknowledge our need to change and become more Christlike. Sexual teasing, foul--and I do mean FOUL language, angry banter and friction between "denominations" (denominations...aren't we all part of the body of Christ?), desire to put others down, bitterness and unlove towards each other...

*sigh* This world is really hard.



2. I want to go to new Zealand, like yesterday. I wish I was already there. I don't know why. A change of scenery? I do realize that no one will have any idea where I'm from. I got that a lot before. A lot of people said Canada. Hmm. I think I'll make up a place. Canadia.

3. My brother wants me to visit him and Erica in Florida after the baby is born. Finances aren't looking good for that and it would have to be during that two-week time before the big more to NZ, but I'm trying. There was talk of taking the greyhound bus. Flying looks surprisingly cheaper.

4. I demanded (in a nice way, of course) more hours ar Barnes and Noble since I have unfairly been under hours during the Holiday season. Like it's MY fault that they hired too many holiday seasonals.

5. I'm slightly fed up with the world. That'll happen from time to time. I'll get over it.

6. Besides the fact that I still can't hear out of my right ear, I'm doing surprisingly well after the long sickness. What kind of "cold" was that?

7.This is how God blesses, even in the seemingly insignificant things... I got my top three movies that I wanted to buy before I went to New Zealand, but who has money? Apparently someone did because I got them all for Christmas. Curious? 1-Lady in the Water, 2- Whisper of the Heart, 3- Howl's moving Castle. Two Hayao Miyazaki movies and one M. Night. That's pretty much amazing! I don't have to buy anything.

8. Next year in NZ, I get to celebrate Boxing day. That'll be interesting.

9. My plant that I got from Bible Study with Linda Leon last spring...It's still alive!! Who'd a thought...?

10. I watched Lost Season 2 DVD (finally!) in 3 days. Being sick has it's perks. They're really going no where with the show, but I still like it. I couldn't imagine watching it every week on t.v. and trying to remember everything and with commercials. DVD shows is the way to go.

11. The Pursuit of Happyness (yes, it's misspelled on purpose....watch the movie) was AMAZING!!! Go watch. Now! I can't wait to see Eragon tomorrow. If they make it as good as the book, it will be worth buying somewhere in the distant future. If not, I will have some words.

12. Spiderman 3, venom...are you serious? To jump that far ahead may have fatal mistakes like X-men with Phoenix. At least with this movie, I'm not a diehard fan. I'm still mad about the ruination of x-men.

13. I'm done

For now...

Chaos

There is a lot going on in my life right now. Not necessarily bad, but challenging. Things don't work out the way I want them to. People become increasingly difficult to deal with. Sometimes I sit in my room and just think...

About what? I don't know.

Things.

How life is sometimes chaotic. How people in general treat each other. Reactions, Emotions, Art, & Music. Christ. Accomplishments. Failures. Apathy. Christ. Discussions. America. New Zealand. Christ. Church. Work. Life.

And Christ.

My God. My Creator. My Love.

My Savior. Jesus Christ.



In the midst of the chaos, He is always clear.
