Who goes to Rich East and heard that Milton guy speak? He came to our school today. It was pretty deep, I've never heard so much silence from such a .. not so polite school, meaning central- ever during an assembly. Or kids looking so serious. Just sad, cuz that's how I feel right now after hearing all his stories.

Don't do drink or do drugs. That's not a lame closing statement, seriously. I don't think some teenagers understand just how serious the outcome can be. Maybe I'll post more on that, or on what he told us a little later.

Good week. No school/Lincoln monday, bible study last night, my AP euro test is finally over-not to mention that study guide was worth 50 friggin extra credit points<- major bonus. It's lookin good.

Went with Jacks to starbucks after she got out of play and I was done with conditioning. Dunno why but it's always fun hanging out with that kid. Gotta love her.

Conditioning wasn't actually that bad, i'm surprised. I'm not sore at all. Saweeeet! while I'm thinking about it-
hey Josh, are we supposed to come to overtime on friday still?

Assemblies friday and monday, which means another week of no real class..or learning. What can I say?

For those of you who are easily amused or have a stupid sense of humor, you need to watch our AP euro movie one day. 15 minutes of greatness.

Thats pretty much it. It's going good, i'm feel good. Pray for my sister cuz this is like the 5th day she's been actually sick, so she'll prolly miss school tomorrow too, which sucks (3rd day this week).

Drink Starbucks' Cinnomon Dulche Latte. mmmmm

Can't sleep, feel like crap. Totally skipping choir cuz I don't want to feel worse waking up early. I hope I'm not getting sick, and it goes away in the morning. :(
Being sick would suck.

Where do I go from here?

I have 5 options:
1) Do DTS for YWAM and miss graduation (for high school) due to the finishing/graduation date from DTS
2) Don't do DTS at all, and go to graduation
3)Save up a buttload of money and come back for graduation, then return and finish DTS
4)Wait and skip the first year of college, and do a September-February DTS instead and not miss anything.. except college.
5) Forget YWAM, and go back to Chile since Jack and Janine already said that would be great and could easily (unlike YWAM) be worked out.
To many choices.. good thing I have quite a while to figure this out. And if that means missing graduation- that'd be sad, but- so be it. We'll see. Please pray for this guys. It's totally where God calls me to go, not what I want to do.. I need to know where/what that is though. I love you all, but not as much as he does.

woot. No school again due to yet another power outage. Gotta go back later for ACT class and set up for confrences.. but for now, I can go back to sleep. God you ROCK!

Praise!

Hey guys, please pray for the Y.W.A.M. thing, God is really really leading me somewhere. I've got a bunch of forms now, although there's still a ton to do. I've got to decide which location/school I'm going to for training, the possible areas of outreach and whatnot. It's WAY less than I thought it was, which is definately an awesome thing. anyway.. it's super important so please pray for me! If you guys want more info, go to http://www.ywam-england.com/home.shtml or http://ywam.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1. God is so incredible! :)

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
IF ANY of you, and please please think about it, can think of any fundraising ideas that can raise buttloads of money, let me know. 'preciate it. I love you all, and God loves you too. UNCONDITIONALLY.

*EDIT*
I have a job.. can you guys think of anything else? lol

somebody help?

ok.. so. Have you got that feeling that you get from someone who makes you uncomfortable(a girl/guy)? Well I've got that feeling.. to the max.. and I dunno what to do. I don't wanna be mean or anything but I'm seriously not ok with it at all. Does ANYONE know what to do, cuz I'm all out of ideas!!! Please tell me if you do..

and pray for this, cuz I am not happy right now. thanks guys.

this just sounds so awesome

I waited and waited and watied for GOD
At last he looked; finally he listened.
He lifted he out of the ditch,
pulled me from deep mud.
He stood me up on a solid rock
to make sure I wouldn't slip.
He taught me how to sing the lastest God-song,
a praise-son to our God.
More and more people are seeing this:
they enter the mystery,
abandoning themselves to GOD.

Blessed are you who give yourselves over to GOD,
turning their backs on the world's "sure thing",
ignore what the world worships;
The worlds a huge stockpile
of GOD-wonders and God-thoughts.
Nothing and no one
comes close to you!
I start talking about you, telling what I know,
and quickly run out of words.
Neither numbers nor words
account for you.

Doing something for you, bringing something to you-
that's not what you're after.
Being religious, acting pious-
that's not what you're asking for.
You've opened my ears
so I can listen.

So I answered, "I'm coming.
I read in yoru letter what you wrote about me,
And I'm coming to the party
you're throwing for me."
That's when God's Word entered my life,
became part of my very being.

I've preached to you the whole congregation,
I've kept back nothing, GOD- you know that.
I didn't keep the news of your ways
a secret, didn't keep it to myself.
I told it all, how dependable you are, how thorough.
I didn't hold back pieces of love and truth
For myself alone. I told it all,
let the congregation know the whole story.

Now GOD, don't hold out on me,
don't hold back your passion.
Your love and truth
are all that keeps me together.
When troubles ganged up on me,
a mob of sins past counting,
I was so swamped by guilt
I couldn't see my way clear.
More guilt in my heart than hair on my head,
so heavy the guilt that my heart gave out.

Soften up, GOD, and intervene;
hurry and get me some help,
so those who are trying to kidnap my soul
will be embarrassed and lose face,
So anyone who gets a kick out of making me miserable
will be heckled and disgraced,
So those who pray for my ruin
will be booed and jeered without mercy.

But all who are hunting for you-
oh, let them sing and be happy.
Let those who know what you're all about
tell the world you're great and not quitting.
And me? I'm a mess. I'm nothing and have nothing:
make something of me.
You can do it; you've got what it takes-
but God, don't put it off.


Psalm 40, The Message Remix

I could have sworn that I blogged this week.. maybe it didn't load or it was not blogger that i used. Anyway.. it's been a while. School has been less stressful and I finished the lab report from the underworld in time before work so I didn't have to come home and try and finish it before bed!

On another note, God's really been opening my eyes up to things. I was watching Flight 93 the other night, just cuz that channel was on and I had nothing to do. I noticed they had a lot of prayer and God and stuff thrown in. There was a couple praying and the last thing the guy did was pray with the woman on the phone. I wonder what all those people who died/were killed on september 11 weret thinking about. How many of them were Christians.. if those terrorists really believed what it said in the movie that killing people was actually a good thing? What are people thinking now days.. live each day as if it's your last. Cuz you never know when Jesus is coming back. Could be tomorrow. The world might blow up lol. Just live it well!
