Year: 2007

I logged on to xanga to check new posts

I saw a bulletin about getting xanga premium free for a year.  Tried it and it worked.

I like having premium a lot better haha and free works for me.  woot.

Today!  [Try it here.]

I went to Cascade and saw Dayna (unexpected), Allison (totally unexpected), Micah and Amanda.

It was nice.. Amanda and I went out to get some drink.  She doesn’t think I like it haha but I liked it.  She’s funny like that.

Deniece was supposed to hang out with me yesterday but she never got ahold of me.  Sooo that’s all folks.

I had nothing deep to post, I was just excited about the xanga premium.  I had a pretty good day, starting off with Voodoo doughnuts and all.

Oh, I did watch some people play guitar hero tonight – but all I could think of is South Park.  Yeah…. oh well.

Feeling stupid,

I was typing in a caption for a photo and was typing out pratice.

Yeah.  Pratice.

I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.  I read it, reread it.. and I was truly puzzled.  What’s wrong with that word?  It looks…. okay?  Hum….

So I looked up “pratice makes perfect” to which yahoo corrected me “practice makes perfect.”

I thought Id top that off by listening to the Blue Man Group’s Hamster Dance song.  Yep it IS a good day haha

I have gotten calls on a few jobs so hopefully they pan out.  Not all of them I only really need one full time job.  Not 4 full time jobs.  Not enough hours in my week….

So, you see the cat?  It’s out of the bag.

I am going to go to a Blazers game this Friday and going to attempt to get a Greg Oden bobble head.  Yep, I’m serious.  fo shizzle.

Then I will start the actual moving sometime on Sunday.  whee!

I might miss South Park tonight.  That kind bums me out, because I’ve been watching it for a while now.. at least all of the new episodes.  All because a few people at school are like “oh, lets hang out”

I don’t mind… I would like if I had Tivo though.

Look at this phone Verizon is coming out with [click here.]  It is a phone I would like to get, one day.

How about Hollywood going into reruns?  exciting…. in memory of new shows ..

Hey

So a new persons xanga that I’ve begun reading was looking for…. yes you thought of it…. bunny jokes. So here goes.

Q: Why did the bunny eat the wedding ring?

A: Because he heard it was 18 carrots!

I pretty much rock at this stuff. You don’t have to remind me haha.

Most jobs that I’ve been looking into have a start date in December / January. I’m already past the red tape and now I’m borrowing money to pay my bills. Ugh…

I’ve been in a mood to listen to Mandy Moore. oh help us…

Oh, also for the job thing I talked to someone I use to work with. They got me the phone number and email to an employer I use to work for. I’ve sent them an email and … they’re out of town. I have the best luck at this finding a job game. Not really…

Blazers have lost all 3 games of their season, but all 3 games have been away. Hopefully we can get it done at home.

Xanga question: Would you become an organ donor? I guess… except I haven’t yet. I don’t know, I just get this feeling that they wouldn’t do everything to save me if I check

[x] yes instead of [ ] no

It sounds crazy.. and it doesn’t work that way but I can’t shake my mind from that whenever the topic comes up.

Yupp

Why is it impossible to have your left hand pointing right, the right hand pointing left and have them go in opposite directions at the same time?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. Yeah, that’ll be a question for God.

I can see it now when that big day comes. And you? What is your question? *big pause* Well, ugh….Um, why couldn’t we spin our hands in different directions!?

yahoo   

Hey,

I did some online searching on Yahoo.  I always use Yahoo.  There are many different types of searching on this subject, so I was somewhat excited.  People don’t really know how to tell about God’s Will in their life.  That meant one thing…..

I’m not alone.

It is a nice feeling.

I did look at a few sites.  Such as these [link1, link2, link3, link4]  The last link I looked up on billygraham.org and was the closest thing I could get to the topic.

Even as I read these things, I still have a hard time.  It isn’t cut and dry.  I want it that way.  I know I know, I’m not the backstreet boys and this isn’t burger king.  But really?

Verses listed were:

Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual (or reasonable) act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight”

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

That James verse is great.  I’ve asked for it my whole life.  Shooot.

Also a checklist

1. Pray about it asking God to make His will clear to you.

2. Is it in accord with and backed up by God’s Word?

3. Do circumstances confirm and support this decision?

4. Do you have God’s peace about the decision?

I found this little bit interesting.  I’ve heard it before.. but a good reminder none the less

(How not to choose The Right Path for Your Life)

No. 2. Keep begging God to make the choices for you.  It may seem very Christian but it is certainly not what God wants.  If he didn’t want you to make choices he wouldn’t give you choices.

These are great “Christian” answers.

Myself along with many other friends would LOVE for Him to come down in a truly divine intervention and just lay it on the table.  Just let me know!

Alas… we know it isn’t quite that simple.  Okay, well at least I know that.  I might have a good situation with this or that, but I wonder “is this God or His will?” and I never have some overwhelming peace that comes to me after I pray about it.  It always seems to be a guessing game with me.  Yeah, maybe it shouldn’t be but it is for me.

I don’t wanna be at those pearly gates in heaven and God come up to me and ask “What the heck were you thinking when…….?” and list my life story.

How about you?  You see how much… I don’t know.  And I’ve went to a fancy bible college and everything.  oooo ahhhhh

Last thing… I really like this song.  [this one, right here, click away, save as or whatever but listen to it]  It’s kinda big, so it may take a second to load but it is worth it.

Your turn.

Can only make me stronger

I need you to hurry up now, cuz I can’t wait much longer.

fo sho.

Part of today and yesterday I got to hang out with Deniece and Ruth, yesterday a little with Kristina and Amanda. It was fun. Went to the Cascade basketball game and they won. Yeah, I didn’t have a typo- they won. I’ve been invited to take another trip and go to the game at like.. 4pm on Sunday so I’ll probably go.

I should probably have a lot more to update about, but nothing is coming to mind.

The xanga question was something about a halloween costume and what you’ve been. Um, I think I can only remember going trick or treating once in my life. I was really young too.. soooo good luck at remembering what that was.

I thought it was a stupid question.
