| IamwornoutSo,
I have been learning things about myself over the last year:
1.) I am not a morning person
2.) I don't handle change well
3.) I am hard on myself
4.) I get heated really fast and usually need to apologize to people after I cool down
5.) I get worn out if I am too social
6.) I need to be completely alone to have profitable time with God
7.) I need to have fun
8.) I can't sit still for too long
9.) I love simplicity
10.) I like to have few deep friendships and I like to initiate them.
11.) I am a leader in many situations, even when I don't know what is going on
12.) I don't know how to limit my sphere of influence to where I can avoid saying the right thing to the wrong person.
13.) When I get exhusted it is usually because of myself.
Right now I am worn out. I wish I could simply look to God in all things.

| well, I always could write better on Xanga...I have to write a play. I desire for it to have some humorous content. The only way for me to accomplish this is to post it on an internet page so that I have a bit of incentive for being funny. I don't know if it will work or not since I haven't been funny on paper for a long time. I hope to write the paper soon as it is due in two hours.
Where should it take place? Kitchen? Barn? Hill? I like Hill
[There sat an ancient grassy hill amidst the mediocre. Upon it sat an aged man who offered others answers. No question from his loyal pilgrims ever seemed to stump him. If indeed an inquiry proved too hard, he would surrender his position. A line began deep in the valley and ended atop the hill. The pilgrims waited night and day to have their questions answered. The day had just begun and the sun crept over the horizon. It peeked out at the long line and the man in front who was next to pose his question.]
Man #1
How long must I wash my hands to ensure hygienic safety?
Aged Man
About thirteen to nineteen seconds under warm running water will suffice as long as the soap is bubbly.
[The man goes away happy to a sink nearby to enjoy hygienic euphoria. The next man in line steps up to present his question to the Aged Man.]
Man #2
My newly installed software is not responding. How shall I get it to work?
Aged Man
Pressing Alt, Shift, and Delete on your keyboard keys will surely solve your quandary. Reboot your computer and uninstall the program, then contact the company's costumer service. After holding for hours you will at last be relieved when they ship you the new software in 6-8 weeks.
[Man #2 runs along happily to his computer. He can later be heard arguing with a man named Punjab who works for the software company somewhere overseas. Craig steps up to the Aged Man and angrily glares at him.]
Craig
Did you see that guy cut in front of me?
Aged Man
Uh, What?
Craig
[Speaking slowly with a hint of sarcasm] Did you see that guy cut in front of me?
Aged Man
Which guy?
Craig
How am I supposed to know? You're the one with all the answers. Aren't you gonna...
Aged Man [interrupting Craig and shouting to those in line]
Next!
Craig
Wait a minute! You didn't answer my question! I get your job.
Aged Man
Alas you are correct. You may have my job.
[The Aged Man stands up slowly and stretches his muscles. He takes a step forward and is immediately transformed into a small sea cucumber. Craig stoops down, picks up the sea cucumber and throws into the valley. He then sits down and wonders what his original question was.]
This is a lot more uh...unmeaningful than my original idea, but this is what happens when you have to turn stuff in in a few hours.

| the worst lie I have told myselfJeremiah 17:9
"The heart is more deceitful than anything else and desperately sick- who can understand it?"
Adam has passed down rebellion because of his sin in the Garden. Jesus brought life! He has done away with the things of Adam. He has done away with guilt, condemnation, sin, and death! He did this by His complete death on the cross. but His work didn't end there. He then was raised back to life by the Glory of God and now sits at His right hand. So He has done away with the old and and bestowed upon us the new.
In prayer, I was praying for a complete surrendering of my day to God, and that my flesh would be hanging on the cross and that I could walk in God's will and in His Spirit. then the lie came:
thats kind of an impractical thing to ask God and to expect, that your flesh would be completely done away with. People fail. its ok if you fall some times today and if you dont completely live up to Christ's commands.
It was then that God pointed out that this was a lie being told to me by my fleshly heart so that it didnt have to surrender to Christ's death. My deceitful heart does not want to die, and so it has told me lies about how I shouldn't expect to live perfectly because I am only human.
Matthew 5:48
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
1 John 3:5,6
"You know that He was revealed so that He might take away sins, and there is no sin in Him. Everyone who remains in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him."
My heart wants to live. It will even make convincing arguments so that I might allow it to remain.
Galatians 2:19b-20
"I have been crucified with Christ; and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Read John 15 and Romans 6 for other thoughts on this. the whole book of 1 John is helpful as well. God please free us from the lies not only told by satan, but also from the ones we tell ourselves.

| finding Gringoheyowdy,
well soon enough, xanga will seem to be a foreign word/concept/abstract-thought-concerning-the-extinction-of-Dinosours, and most of the people I know will be busy sweating away the holiday pounds and trying to get an hour to themselves so that sleep can be had. I will soon enough be frustrated with the humidity and its ability to make sweeping one of the worst jobs imaginable. no matter, I cant wait for summer. I am looking forward to enjoying the company of a bunch of Christians who dont know each other that well yet. I am also looking forward to my new end of the summer joke, v. 1.0. until then, I fill my time with guitar, sleep, small chores, hanging out with Zeke and Emily, reading, Bible, and hanging out in general. I hope that everyone is doing well and I hope that you all remember to celebrate the month of may as the month of the international give good gifts to Jason holiday.
enjoy your day,
Jason

| (none)well, I have slept about 16 hours in the last two sleeps and have finished three finals. that should equall three "a"s, but we will see. I have one left as well as a need for a haircut and the purchase of a new shirt for Carl's wedding.
I tried this tea favor called "Chocolate Carmel Chai." Unfortunately, I tried it. I will stick to my regular preference of tea that I will not disclose due to the heterosexual nature of the name. I will say this though, Earl Gray tea tastes exactly how it sounds.
I have not eaten as much as I would like the last couple of days. I have snacked more than usual. I plan to remedy this soon. perhaps around dinner.
soon (not soon enough) I will be at camp. its amazing how much WWR means to me. I think that I might only have 1 more summer in me. but who knows. I intend on working there as long as possible.
I played guitar today and realized my solo skills are so low (as Marrianne would say, "Bud-ump-chhhh."), however my other guitar skills are doing fine.
I would like to stop living to please people in my outward actions and learn how to please God with my every intention. I have enjoyed watching the faith of others lately and have been amazed at their faith. simple faith. but faith! I hope to have faith like those I have seen lately. well time to eat.
Adios | | |
