Is it possible to have to much time to think? i think so. i'm mulling over stuff in my head, over and over and over, and it's not going anywhere. i've come to my conclusions, but there is nothing i can do now. i still have a decision to make, however, i cannot make it now. i have to wait for things to actually happen. so i'm just waiting. i ( Read more... )

I got up this morning really tired. I'm not even sure if I prayed surprise me God. Probably. It's become a habit at anytime I think of God. Throw up a quick prayer for him to show himself to me. It's actually amazing for straightening out priorities. So I had to shower really fast, because I had told my mom last I wasn't getting up early. ( Read more... )

Today I slept till I had to get up to go to school. That was at 11. I have school at 1:30 on Mondays. I don't remember what I did on the bus. Not much I expect. In class I found that I didn't really know why I was in that course. It's going to be a bunch of work I don't want to do, and I don't need this course for anything I want to do. I'm ( Read more... )

I woke up today, prayed the prayer and got ready for church. I had more time than expected so I read some of John. It's a great book. I don't remember what I read, it was mostly comforting and reminded me of Jesus' character. Then my family and I went to church ( Read more... )

So it's been awhile since I've written, because I haven't been able to get to the computer. It's now actually Monday, and I'm trying to remember what happened in what order. Hopefully I remember. I'm going to write as if it's Saturday though, and the same with the Sunday entry and any other late entries as well ( Read more... )

So I didn't miss my bus today. Good work me. I struck up a conversation with the bus driver today on my first bus, talked about him and his daughters and bus driving and school for me and all sorts of things. Just before I got off the bus I asked him what he thought God looked like. Got a pretty vague answer, or rather something that showed how ( Read more... )

Last night I couldn't fall asleep till 2:30, so I got around to thinking. Idea that came up in my mind is asking some people today what they think God looks like. It would be interesting to hear what people think. So we'll see who I ask ( Read more... )

This is something I was just thinking about last night (night of Jan. 4) and wrote down in the notebook I keep beside my bed ( Read more... )
