Ridiculous Prayers

I have a ridiculous prayer. I have lived as a person who believed that prayer is a thing that is for us to feel like we can talk to God. But it where we allow of dreams and hope to begin to breath to have a life and to be given to God. Now we have to keep in mind that God has a will and he will have his will happen no matter what. But he tells us to come to him. We get to share our hearts with the God of the universe and he not only holds these dreams and loves them, he dose what is one of the hardest things, he dose not give them to us till we need them and we can handle them.

On of the message that i still remember from harvest is jeff talking about the Israelites and how God took care of them when they just entered into the promise land. It says that God did not give all of the promise land to his children, he said trust me and i will give you what you need, and they did not need nor could they handle all the promise land at once.

But back to ridiculous prayers, right now i am reading a book called "In a pit, with a lion, on a snowy day." And is one of the best books ever, there are a few things that i don't totally agree with but its epic, but i was reading and i can across apart that talked about praying ridiculous prayers and in this case it was a man had lost his axe head in a river wail he was working and he told Elisha, who it said thought a stick in a it floated, but he probably was like well lets just see...." God if this is your will them please let this stick that i thought in bring back to axe head." And you are probably like yah so the axe head came back. Ok hold up lets think about this. A-THis is the Jordan river a is not some wimpy river,B-the density of iron is 7.2 grams per cubic centimeter, and C- iron dose not come to the top and just wait for you to come pick it up. THis was a ridiculous prayer.

But i have one and yes it may be stupid and it may totally not be Gods will and i am ok if it dose not happen. BUt i love it. Why cant i ask my God for something i want. Why should i not. He tells us prayer is how we talk to him and how my prayer may not be as big as anyone else's but why should i hold my tongue for that reason. SO my ending question is what is something that is totally ridiculous that you are going to start praying for. :)

The lost fair-well post

I as sitting in a room with posters no longer on the walls, carpet that no longer has a bleach stain on the far wall where i try to fix the mistact of my dog eating my pen top so all the ink leaked out of it, or the explosion of red ink where i seemed like a good idea to vacuuming uo the grading pen that i felt way to lazy to pick up from the floor, the noise of my door closing echos in my room and in my heart. My feet are on there way to a full recovery from my heels last night and my belongings are slowly finding there home in bananas box's placed at random in my room.

I am now a graduate of the Winston Churchill class of 2010.

I am leaving in less then 24 hours to go to my job in Colorado and will be saying good bye temporally to my friends, family, and San Antonio. But some place in my life i had to say goodbye to forever. Winston Churchill High school, My teachers, and my fellow class mates, and my house that has been home for 10 years.

I am venturing to the see of greatness though. I am going to the job i have waited 7 years for, the school that i have shed my tears over for the fact of uncertainty, and the car that is the most ghetto veical on the plant. The VW bug that i am taking with me to college.

At the begging of this year i hosted a New Years eve party and we had everyone wright down what they wanted this year to host for them. Mine was that i wanted to live Passionate Adventures. As i am packing up what feels like my life i am thinking about the adventures that i have had wail here in SA and the adventures to come in CO, and WA. I think about the people who have walked with me on my adventures and what they have meant to me.

I don't know what to expect or even think about with what is to come but i am ready to venture into the unknown. To take the steps, and i will be homesick in the beginning but i know that in time that will pass but the memories will not and the hope that the people will continue to walk with me. :)

I love ya'll, and i can't wait to share stories and memories with you for many years to come.
