Soundtrack To My Life

So this is something I saw on Grace's blog a while ago but my iPod was all messed up but now its fixed so here goes nothing...

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?How to do it:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc).
2. Put it on Shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the "next" button.
6. Be honest.

A Pleasant Epiphany

This is something that has been on my mind for a while and I had not realized that it was there until I read Drake's blog. He talked about reaching out to the people around you and how we cannot forget about these people. I am actually extremely happy right now! I am happy because I am submerged in a completely secular environment. At least 90% of the people I work with get drunk or high or are sleeping around and at first that bothered me. Now it doesn't I love hanging out with these people they are my friends. I know that you have to be careful when you are hanging out in that environment and I am not going to lie there are times that I stumbled but there isn't any other place I would want to be right now. It's not that my faith is tested every day but I love that I am not inside a safe little bubble. I just like hanging out with real people and I find that there are a lot of fake people out there. Especially the ones that are trapped inside the christian bubbles. I don't know who said it but one of the most real quotes I have ever heard is "there is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth" I am happy I am not comfortable right now. I think that the church nowadays (not all but a lot) need to pull there heads out of their butts and realize what Jesus was about. A lot of people that are in the church need to get more uncomfortable and take risks and just do as Jesus did. At first I thought that I was really falling away from my faith hanging out with these people in bars and clubs afterwork but now I have a lot of close friends who I can share more and more with. I dunno if any of this makes sense but I really do think the christians in general need to get more uncomfortable.

One more thing I would really like to give thanks to God for coming through for me tonight. For the first time ever I had a few minutes before the rush hit. I prayed and asked for strength and speed and boy was I moving. I encourage you to remember that he will grant us the desires of our hearts and let me tell you I have never moved like that before in my life. This is Andrew "The Blur" Newman signing off.

"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."
CS Lewis - Mere Christianity

As Iron

I am writing tonight out of frustration yet again. I do not know why I am so frusterated but I am. The major part of it is financial frusteration. Everytime it seems that I am in the clear and will barely have enough money for school my knees of confidence are taken out from under me. I think that it is God trying to make me stronger and trust in him more but I am still having a difficult time deciding where he wants me to work for the next six months so I need your guys prayer. I also want to thank and praise God for these trials. Without him we are nothing and I believe that we have to be constantly reminding ourselves of that. I also may be going offline in order to save more money. In addition, I am pleased to say that I will soon be finished my first painting which I am going to go and work on right now. So good night and godspeed my brothers and sisters.
