Great Divorce

ok so last weekend i finished reading the Great Divorce by C.S.Lewis. And let me tell you that was one crazy book as i had said before. It really opens your brain to something that you have never really pictued before. It is just about a story of a man, who is actually in purgitory, and the reality that he is in is just so off the wall. The thought of how where he is actually relating to hell and heaven was just unbelieveable. I deffinitly will be reading another of his books, cause i need to for school, but because it was so interesting.

It just really puts a twist on my thoughts, not that i am changing my whole life around this book, but it just makes me wonder what restrants have i put on the stories i have heard so many times in the Bible, and what i guess those stories could be.

God is so freakin awsome, Im super glad hes my God.
I wish i would stop being so lazy!! and for all of us, because i cant say everyone when im not doing anything either. (dang it)

C.S. Lewis

ok so today i started my first ever C S Lewis book, The Great Divorce, and let me tell you it is crazy so far. I am only really into the 6th chapter but the thing is off the wall crazy. I dont know where Lewis is gettin his thoughts from, they are so off the wall its just wierd right now. I really hope that the rest of the book is this great and that maybe i start to understand a little more of what he is talkin about cause right now im lost...

well i just needed to write this down and all, cause its crazy good, go out and get it!!!!

life

life is crazy, i still dont understand it and i dont think that i ever will. so many times in my short life so far you think somethings going one way and in all reality its going a totally different way. (ie life is crazy)

sometimes it feels like you cant be under any more pressure or stress in life, and then something else gets piled on. this reminds me of a verse though that i have always known in my heart from since i was a little kid, 1 Corinthians 10:13 i really like the Message version cause it says tests at the begginning of it, and i really do think that is a part of it also.

So i thank God for always being there for me and that i know i always have Him there when im falling he will be there for me, always. what an amazing person.

A big theme that i have been seeing in school this few weeks is to stop worrian about crap, because there is so much that you can worry about, that it will take up your whole life and then you wont be able to live, youll just worry. I love God, what an amazing man.

peaceout

cross country

ok today was my first cross country meet of the season and lets just say it sucked!!! i didnt take last though!!(woot woot) its funny (?) that we/I put myself to so much effort of running to pretty much just get humiliated. But for some reason i still get out there and run in my tiny little shorts and take almost last.

its funny that we all go out and run in a circle and do all this work just to end up in the same spot we left, and then drive our car back home and all. I dont really get the whole point to it, but i know im supose to go out and run.

Sometimes i feel like this is our journey with God also, that we do what we think is a lot of great stuff to be helping ourselves out, or others, and actually its just a big circle and were ending up in the same spot as where we are starting from... I guess i get nervous that being at college that im not learning enough or growing. and it makes me wonder about a lot, but i know that God is always there for me.

From the begginning of the race where i start to the end, he is there, and i know that if i take the wrong path he is still there waiting me to find the right one again. I just hope im on the right path and not really just lost in life.

yep thats my ramble for now, maybe ill think of something finally smart to say one day.
peaceout

back to schoool

today i have offically moved back into a dorm and am now living at my school. it was a hard day to leave michelle (my girl) and know that we will only see each other on certain breaks and some long weekends.

its funny going from your summer vacation back to school, where its a christian school, things are just so much different than the things that go on in the real world with how things at my work went this summer. at times i almost feel as if being stuck in the school, that i dont feel as if i am being as much as a follower of God as i should be. when i was at work this summer, i could really see how God has changed my life and how i see the world as something that is not as perminent as others believe. I thank God for the gifts he has given me, and the things he showed me this summer. But i feel as if i have slowly fallen away from God this summer, and i dont want to have this roller coster ride from school and summer vacation.

life is hard right now and im very well off compared to some ppl, but i know that i can get through it for sure.

so school has started and im really going to enjoy learing this year to help me in the long run for sure, its crazy to think that God has this great plan and that im part of it. i am scared but excited to see where my life is going for sure!!!
