Today is Sunday August 24, 2003.

    Hello to everyone.  I haven't been writing in this xanga.  Just lazy.  Well today was church and we had a church picnic at the Beveridges.  Sarah is getting married,  werid thought becasue i liked this girl long time in high school. 

   God is going something in my life but i am blocking it right now by not being obeident .  But this week i will be obeident and welcome all the blessings that are waiting. 

I decided that i am moving with my friend Josh Grund to South Carolina and Join the military.  I hope to see God down there.

Today was at Cedar Point with my friends from Brazil, but live in NY for the time being.  They are so cool.  Arthur, Gabreil and Jonatas.  We rode about everything.  We waited an insane amount of time for the dragster, and we were in the beginning.  The reason that it was so long was because the ride kept shutting down because it couldn't go over the 420 ft hill. Fun day.

This week was crazy i have been busy with my friends from NY, but live in Brazil. Kroger called me yesterday, so now i have part time job.  This week was such a battle for me, i dealt with mind wars i was so depressed and angry for stupid reasons, i hate when i am that way. That is my goal, to be better person of my word, and compassion and understanding and that the world doesn't revolve around me.

Blessings to all

The time is now!  Don't offended over things of the world we need to move on and seek out better things; not things that would rob us of our faith, joy and peace.  Anger, depression, loneliness are not to be tempered with, my advice is to stir away; even if it may feel good, you just working harder fighting it. O God help me overcome my trials and seek you only, may i be perfected daily with your word and be blameless until your day, Amen.

I just can't get over things, i seem to build up anger for everything that really isn't an issue, but i am getting better.  God is a good God that i love and if i can just maintain my peace with Him i am fine.  God Rules!

This week has been a good week, so busy that i had not written in this journal.  During the weekend of last weekend we finished VBS and after church went to Jilians birthday party during that time we invited ourselves to dayton to the Asebrooks, and there we were shown hospitality and blessings.  It really was a good weekend.  Then after that we came home and slept and wednesday i got my haircut and then went to church; after church there was a confrence going on at Ashland University where there were speakers of all types promoting the gospel and their missions.  I had a good time and met new ppl.  Meeting new ppl is so much fun i love interacting with ppl and the more you interact the more ppl you met but not everyone is so forthcoming.  Then Friday malarie came over, she was gone forever in this college thing, so we hung out with her it was a great time; but one thing is i realized an important life trail called friendship; not all it is cracked up to be.  But i know that God has something better for me i just don't know what.

Today I went to Berean Baptist Church, and it was subjected upon the meaning of GOOD NEWS.   Jesus spread the good news when he went into the towns and synoguges that is said in Matthew5:35.   And we then discussed the fundalmentals of what good news is, what was He preaching while on earth.  The good news was further translated that God came as human on earth to tell about His glorious kingdom and that by having a relationship with Him we are saved.  Then pastor Pound had a great message from Luke, where it talked about the taxcollector Levi. Levi was veiwed as a traitor and a theif by the ppl because he collected their money for a case which they didn't support, the enemy to the Romans.  Anyways Jesus went up to Levi and asked him to follow Him.  Then it said that Levi dropped everything and followed Jesus.  Levi dropped his wealth and realized that Jesus had more to offer.  Then those Pharisees were confused why Jesus would hang out with the sinners, taxcollecters at the dinner that Levi threw.  But then Jesus replied to those pharisee saying If you are healthy you don't go to a doctor only the sick go to a doctor,  Jesus didn't come to preach to the righteous but sinners."  Well it was a well put together sermon by the staff of Berean.  It really spoke to my heart.

Today was a good day, To start we had to get up at 8:30 am to attend our VBS meeting.  Then i was asked to go to cedar point which was a great time.  I rode the dragster for the second time, this time i rode in the front car!  I will have to say that it is better than any other cars!  I also went rollarblading it was a good night so not to hot and not to cold just perfect. 

I don't know,  life is so confusing; i know that God has a plan for me, i know that i am too make right choice it will make his plan easier and more blessed!  I guess i am just hanging out for opportunity.
