sitting on the couch is for people who have legs– Rudy Garcia Tolsen inspires me so much!
I just got done watching a special on tv about the Ironman. He is trying to become the first paraplegic to
complete the Kona Ironman. He has no legs and missed completion on the bike by 5 minutes. I get scared to go run in the morning b/c im tired… HE HAS NO LEGS!!!!
My real thoughts on the whole world of blogging…
I’ve always viewed blogs as a bit over the top. people that want to put their thoughts in your face. it has always seemed like a prideful way to talk all about yourself.
over the past few months i have tried blogging a lot and it has really come to light that for me and the way that i do it, is in a sense a confessional.
A relief. A freedom in confession of my thoughts, feelings, and sometimes sins. this freedom has gotten me excited because i can no longer live with secrets and hiding. it allows me to live in freedom because all of my baggage, good or bad, is out on the table. thank you blogs for allowing me to confess my love/hate relationship with you. thank you for helping me live life to the fullest! John 10:10

have you ever been watching something and it makes you cry… but you still can’t look away? i was watching “the miracle on the hudson” coverage (so they call it) and i couldnt help but thinking i wish there was something i could do. ps: why do i write blogs about each time i cry? maybe thats why its been so long since my last one… yo no se?

so miniNate is in the world. crazy i know. you think stuff like that should be illegal or at least closely watched by the government. i was/am so glad that i could be there to help and just be a part of something so amazing. as much as i wanna be snowboarding, im so glad that i can be here with my friends and involved in their lives. babies only come once or twice for most people. i cant wait to have a minime of my own… well i can wait for a while.

well ive never been much for the baring of souls in the presence of any man, id rather keep to myself all safe and secure in the arms of a sinner i am, could it be that my words should depend by the crimson stained grace on a hand, and like a lamp on a hill lord i pray in your will to reveal all of you that i can. so turn on the light and reveal all the glory i am not afraid, to bare all my weakness knowing in meakness that i have a kingdom to gain, well there is peace and love in the light, oh i am not afraid to let your light shine bright in my life
well there are ghosts from my past that own more of my soul than i thought i had given away, they linger in closets and under my bed and in pictures less proudly displayed, a great fool in my life i have been have squandered til palid and thin, hold my head in shame and refuse to take blame for the darkness i know ive let win. so turn on the light and reveal all the glory i am not afraid, to bare all my weakness knowing in meakness that i have a kingdom to gain, well there is peace and love in the light, oh i am not afraid to let your light shine bright in my life

i had dinner tonight with a friend and told her all about my $2 bible. i started going to church in high school. no one ever told me that i had a choice for or against jesus. they just “did” church like mainstream america. in 2 years of going to hang out with everyone on sunday nights, no one said anything. so when someone finally did i decided not to take their word for it.. or even take a pastors word because he carried the title. i went to a half price book store and bought my used $2 bible. not to go into more details of that.. (but I can if you ask)
why do we go with the flow? why do we do what everyone else is doing? its easy.. we dont want to stick out.. we want to be accepted… we want to be loved! jesus was hated when he lived on earth, he was kicked out of places and cities, he was made fun of for being different and beaten for going against the flow. whether you believe he was/is god or not… that one man changed the world forever !

i cant believe i’m saying it but i just shed a half tear while watching oprah on letterman tonight. mainly because of all the pain in the world. she said it best when she said its not that we’re not doing enough. its that we sit back and enjoy our cappucino’s and let world hunger and aids continue with out doing anything. and its true! what are we each doing to save our world? human beings are dying becuase we cant help support or even better, go help overseas.. much less locally! when was the last time you did anything to help anyone? are you showing christs love?
i’m reading a great book right now called “Revolution.” the basic idea is dont label yourself a revolutionary but be one by doing things agains the grain. do what is right when no one else is. love god at all costs. stand up for those who dont have a voice of their own!!! BE a revolutionary. Jesus was.
