| thursday i saw the one and only brian regan. the very famous brian regan. sooo super funny. hes a brilliant comedian. a comedian that is clean, and acutally funny. acutally funny as in not perverted and dosnt swear to make himself sound funny. talks about things that acutally apply to normal life, and makes it hillarious. there were times where i couldnt breathe and i felt my chest collapsing, eyes filled with water from so much laughing. he was funny. we stayed at my gparents that night, we went to harrisburg, pa to see the show, then an hour east to my g parents house. then today we came back home. friday. didnt do a whole lot. tonight i hung out with dave weinhold, another regular hang out deal. talked, wrestled, watched behind enemie lines. left around 10 wanted to do something, stopped at 7 11 wanting to get a cigar and smoke that night just because, decided not to, didnt need to. i got skittles instead. tomorrow lacey is coming down, im super excited, shes gonna hang out sat and leave sunday. gonna be a super good time. i love just hanging out and talking to her. hopefully we'll get a real good talk in there somewhere. it'll be a beautiful weekend. | | |
| day to day stuffword i remember when i used to post on here everyday and just say stuff i did that day. im gonna start doing that again. and if i get inspired to write something, ideas like i used to write on here, it'll be on myspace. so there. today was sick insane awesome, blew me away. i stained the doorways like i have been, showered, hung out with becca and my sister at the new big giant. went to the ryans house and slept a lil bit, then went to the norma jean show! took like 2 hrs to get to friggin towson cause of the rediculous traffic. almost got hit a couple times and skidded on water a couple times. good fun. but so worth it. we saw NORMA JEAN!!! tonight. so frickin incredible. good bands. norma jean was just unbelivable, always amaze me. i gotta shirt, then we went to a diner and had good food. got home arond 1 30, im wide awake on monster energy drink. but ill go to bed. | | |
| ok. authorities. the bible says to obey the law that is put before us. to obey those that are put above us in the law. no i did not commit a felony. the bible also tells us to honor our father and mother. also the bible says to love on people as christ would. the bible says a lot of things.
in this case parents are those three things. authorities over us. a father and/or mother (whatever your situation is). and of course. people. that we love on.
i have been on the road for a year adapting a new lifestyle. an independent life style. still dependent on God, but independent in the way where i make my own decisions. decisions of what im going to eat, when im going to bed, what im doing, going somewhere and not have to call mom when i get there. these things are also sometimes limited on team, but besides the point, i wasnt parented in my actions. i was an adult and treated as such by teammates and by hostfamilies etc. now i am home and i have parents again. like, i am still treated as an adult, but parents are still parents. its gotten to the point where yes i am annoyed with my parents and am ready to be out of the house. ill move to Pittsburgh now. where i can be an independent person like i was on the road. off wondering around like a nomad tellin ppl bout Jesus. but then these three points hit me :
one is authorities. these 2 ppl have been set in my life, to be earthly parents. to take care of and discipline me as i grow. and even as an adult they continue to take care of and discipline me. i will be 40 and they'll still do this. guaranteed.
two. honoring mom and dad. in which i do. unless what they ask or tell me is going against the bible, i do what they ask. even if its outrageous and totally inconvienient, i still do it because i am honoring they're request.
three and because i am honoring them i am loving them as people. they are children of God, precious to his eyes so i will view them as precious to mine. to love on them as if they were God because i see God in them. my parents. make sense? i love on them by obeying them without complaining, even if they're annoying me to certain death i will present a positive attitude of christ like-attitudeness. thats a word. i will love my parents because God loved them first.
So no matter how much you think your parents are jerks, annoying, wrong or just bad parents i encourage you to love on them and see what the reaction is, present an attitude of Christ like-ness, and see what the reaction is to that. resepct and obey and the reward will be great. and then eventually you'll move out and it'll be fantastic! | | |
