Awesome. who would have thought a movie with no words for the first 20 min would be that great!
pssst…(…E.T…)
i think my blog was a little lonely…
i am sitting in my office, updating our site, finishing paper work from jr. hi camp, catching up on emails and i think to myself… “camp was so fun! what the heck happened?!?”
sometimes we get this time away were we really get to connect with GOD and as soon as we get back, we right back where we started. i immediatly have to pause, and realize that GOD hasn’t changed, moved, or gone away….it was me.
there is this old story about a couple who would always drive around in their pick up truck. the man, lets call him “billy bob”, drives. and billy bob’s wife, “priscilla,” would sit right next to him, in the middle seat, even though no one else was in the car. over the years the couple continued driving, and one day, priscilla looks over to the car next to them, and the young couple was sitting right next to each other on the front bench of their truck, and she looks over to billy bob and says, “how come we never sit next to each other anymore, ya know, like we used to?” Billy bob says, “i never moved.”
many times we find ourseleves farther and farther from GOD. and then we ask GOD, “how come we aren’t as close as we used to be?” then GOD says “I haven’t moved”. in hebrews, it says GOD is the same yesterday, today and forever. GOD never changes. we do. but, the cool thing about this thing called “grace”, is we are never so far away from GOD, that he isn’t just one step back.
one step.
thats it.
take the step, rekindle the relationship.
doesn’t matter what you have done, are doing, or going to do.
one step.
JESUS died for our one step.

i just filled a notebook full of random thoughts and stuff to do.
i have realized a truth: write stuff down. even if it is stupid, even if it is just a list of stuff to do or even if it is your plan and goals for your life. write it down.
sometimes stuff will come inside and bug the crap out of me until i write it down, rest assured i will not forget it, well, because i wrote it down, i am able to move.
if your anxious, always thinking about a huundred different things or just always seemd to be preoccupied…write it down.
trust me.
