People

There are people that come into our lives and teach us so much, more than they will ever know. They allow us to accept, to admire, to forgive, and to open our hearts. I've always felt that every person or experience you encounter is for a reason. Whether there is a lesson to be learned or an opportunity to see the world through someone elses eyes, it is for a reason. I'm beginning to truely believe that God puts certain people along our path for a purpose. They themselves may not even realize the effect they're having on anothers life, but through them He is sharing his power. For me, I think His love is most seen through the relationships I have, am beginning, and those that the future holds. It is through Him and his followers that our rocky pasts can be forgiven and we are not defined by what we have done but are able to learn and change from the inside out. Through this we have the strength to never judge others and thus we begin to accept and truely know ourselves as well.

Religion

I've been listening The Stirring podcasts for a while now and finally decided tonight to go and listen in person. It has always been a rocky subject for me but latley I've been thinking a lot about it. I usually do as the holidays approach and start to question everything I believe, thought I believed, don't believe or want to believe. I've been up and down with religion, pushing it away, pushing people away who only care, trying to find meaning and then ignoring it. And I'm tired of always wondering. It's not easy to believe in something you cannot see and it scares me. There's a lot live up to but lately I've been really trying to get a perspective on my life and my choices. I feel like I'm a good person, openminded, loving and caring but the meaning has always been something I've struggled with. For a long time I thought I was strong enough without faith, that I didn't really need it, that my life was fullfilling and complete. I assumed it was for people who needed something to live for beyond their friends and family and that if you were strong enough in your own convictions you didn't need it or him. But that seems to be all wrong now. I think those that find themselves in God are of the very strongest because they had the courage to reach out and let something in that is greater than themselves. They were able to admit that this was a journey they could not go at alone and then they used their story and experiences to inspire others. I guess I think why not just give it a chance? What does anyone have to lose? Christianity, if nothing else, opens up doors to live a better life and to become a better person. When questioning where we go when our life is over, why not believe? If in the end everything works out as planned then we're good to go and if it doesn't what did we lose? Nothing. Either way we'll know we lived a fulfilling life for the things that are the most important to us!

GUNS....

I went target shooting today and let me tell you it was pretty darn exhilarating. We destroyed that trash talking box and its little clay friends. Today was not their day!!! We went all gangster on them with a handgun. I have a new found respect for the 2nd amendment!!!

So I've been looking for a new job now for about a month and it is going very badly... I feel like I can't even get an interview. I've applied all around town but no one is hiring or a billion other people are applying too. I just want an enjoyable part time job, is that so much to ask for?

First Blog!!!

This is pretty exciting, my first one!!!lol Well i'm sitting here this sunday morning putting off some much needed to do homework, as usual, and trying to figure out this site so I can start chatting with Kristin in Germany!!! Well last night was pretty fun... went with my new friend from the college to a couple of haunted houses, I think his girlish screams were more entertaining than the actual actors! lol Then we went to Winco, always an interesting place to shop late at night, where we got a bunch of candy and smuggled it into movies 10 to watch the movie Sex Drive! A pretty funny movie... a bit disturbing at time! lol Well thats all for now
