Well, today i went to school, not really wanting to at all, since it was just Thanksgiving! I sat through the first three classes attempting to get my brain to function again, and by fourth period my brain was back to functioning properly. In math i was happy because i was really able to focus, and its my weakest class, so i really need to make sure i get the stuff good.

Then it was lunch time, and ahh, lunch is great. Its a nice break from the monotony of classes. After lunch i had study hall, which was nice because i got my math homework done. Then i sat through a fairly interesting history class in which we talked about the years right before the civil war.

After classes i went to workout, and we did some agility drills, ran a bit, and lifted weights.

Then i came home and have been here since.

God has really reminded me lately of how much he has blessed me. To anyone reading, realize that we are so fortunate, and that God really cares about us!

well, i haven't posted in here for a while...

Right now i'm working on reading 1 Peter. I'm trying to read my Bible consistently everyday. God's really shown me that by only praying and not consistently reading the Bible, he cannot reveal to me as much as He would like. He's really opened up new stuff for me since i've started reading it(the Bible) again. I've realized, again, that i am a small being who is loved by a bigtime loving God. It really gets me when I think about how big the ocean is, then how big the world is, then to think about the universe, and to realize that God controls all of this. Its simpply amazing that the creator of all of this would love me...

Track season is starting again, so i'm having to go to practice almost everyday (weekday). Right now my muscles are verrrry sore because i hadn't worked out since before Christmas. Its good to get the blood pumping again though, and I love track, so its great to be back at it again.

Well, I finally got the internet to come back again, it hadn't been working for a little while. I've been struck lately at how much i am truly blessed with. God has really gone out of his way to make my life great, and that really makes me want to give my life back to Him and let Him work through me.

But along the way are roadblocks, and its how we react to those that determines how much we can accomplish for Christ. If we sit and groan at the blockage, then we cannot get anything done. Likewise, if we become lazy (which i often am a victim of!) we cannot get anything done either!

Sometimes these roadblocks cause us to distance ourselves from God. I know in my life i often come to roadblocks in my life and do not respond in the way I should.

Its hard to make decisions sometimes, because God does not (usually) speak out loud to us. He instead prods us along by revealing His will through the Scriptures, or through other people. Thats why its so important to always be listening for God in everything we do!

Track was hard today. We ran outside in the freezing cold temperature of 37 degrees, with a wind chill of 28 and NORTH winds at 10-15 MPH. It really stunk cause i didn't have enough clothes. All i had was a Tshirt and sweatshirt with hood, and warmups, i should of had some gloves, a hat, a extra pair of sweats on...but oh well!

School was terrible today too. Most of the classes were terribly boring and in English class it got so bad that i opened the book I'm reading (FDR and WWII Espionage) and started reading it, while the teacher never noticed. The teacher puts the notes on the board, so once you get done copying them down, you can either listen to her while she rambles on about them or you can do other things. My friends play games on their cell phones, some draw, its amazing...you'd think she'd get the drift..but i guess not...

God reminded me today that its great to be single

Mark · 01-23-2003, 09:21 PM

the "M" forum is very UNtraveled!

hope ya'll had a good day...mine was pretty boring!

Mark · 01-25-2003, 05:42 PM

I'm gearing up for the big day tomorrow!

Trying to get all the homework and stuff for school done today so tomorrow after church i can watch the Super Bowl without worrying about homework.

I love DVD's. I bought some new movies the other day at target.

I have never been a fan of fake flowers. I would much rather see a bunch of real flowers then some primed up new plastic flowers...ahahahaha

Hey Mark. Just dropping in to say what's up. Keep God first. (I know you are)

Real flowers are wonderful
