truly happy

Have you ever cried for joy? If you are like me then You probably haven't. Tonight was my first time. I cry all the time when I laugh too hard and I suppose that's similar but this was crying and a little chuckle to follow. I came home to pineville this weekend and I was talking to my mom about Christian authors and books and how I can't stand to read but a few. I read mother theresas biography once and I just can't handle reading about these jerk offs who drive Mercedes and Lexus and live in 300000 dollar houses. I know God blesses people and that's great. I hope to have all that and more one day. When it comes to missions and serving God and doing His will, I can't help but think some priorities need to be switched. But after all who am I to judge?

Well as I was talking to my mom she was telling me the story of George Mūller who was a man of faith. I know, I was like oh great, but it gets good. George Mūller and his wife were ministers in England and they never took a salary, they depended wholly on God to provide for them. They start an orphanage and one day, as many, they were out of food. Mr. Muller had all the children sit at the table for breakfast ad usual though and they prayed because they knew God would provide. Well, there was a knock on the door and it was the local baker. He said, i don't know why but God woke me up at 2 am and told me that you had no food, so I've been baking bread since 2 am for you and the children in your orphanage. This is where I began to tear up by the way. If you don't have moist eyes you are ill. Not really, but maybe. Well, they had bread and just as they were about to eat, a milk man knocks on the door and says, my truck broke down right in front of your orphanage, will you please take my milk? It will go bad of you don't. Now I have tears running down my face. I didn't want my mom to see so I scratched my eye like it was hurting or something. But to be honest, that is the most amazing story I have heard in a while. It just made me so happy to know that God provides for those who love and trust in Him. That's my story. Have you ever cried because you were overjoyed?

standing on the edge of the world, peering over in to the great unknown. the sun begins to rise from the other side and my heart skips a beat. i grab your hand as my eyes begin to close. i'm blinded by the wonder of the light. we count to three and we jump into the unknown. the rush of air over my face refreshes my soul. the warmth of your hand in mine. our pulses are matched as the light shines ever so bright. the beating of my heart changes as the darkness departs. the existence of grace is made known as i take this leap of faith.

This weekend was amazing. I normally don't stay in Ruston for the weekends because there is not really anything that goes on, but this weekend I had to stay because the church had First Friday and I had to work...well, I say work, but I had to hang out with a bunch of kids and go bowling...it was alot of fun. Saturday, I woke up and thought about driving home to Pineville, but I decided that I didn't feel like spending the money on gas and so I just did some dishes and watched Jersey Shore all day. I woke up around 9am and started watching Jersey Shore and then I watched it until probably 5 that afternoon. It was just nice to have absolutely nothing to do. I know, I am lazy. Well, then I went to Chili's and ate with a friend and we were going to go see a movie but we were both too tired, so I went home and watched more Jersey Shore, in case you're wondering, Netflix has season 1 and season 2 on streaming. Anyways, after a little more Jersey Shore I went to a friends house to hang out and then I went to bed. Sunday was very similar. I woke up and went to church, ate lunch with my brother and his wife and my niece and my sister in laws parents. We ate Mexican and it was so good, it's been a while since I have had some good Mexican food. After lunch I went swimming with my friend Maggie and I forgot to put sunscreen on...needless to say, I got burned pretty badly. After swimming I went to night church and then my friend Meghan and I went to play tennis. Then, I went ate a chicken pot pie, watched some more Jersey Shore and went to sleep. Now, I am sitting at work, typing this, trying to stay awake. That is my weekend in a nutshell. Hope all of you had a great weekend also! Until I write again, keep it real, readers. Stay classy bloggers (that was for you Christina, haha!).

I really need to start eating better. I have eaten BBQ and pizza for the past two days, and that is pretty much all. I ate BBQ right before bed last night and I didn't have any trouble sleeping, but when I woke up this morning my stomach was hurting, but then I got hungry so I ate some left over pizza for breakfast. Now, my chest hurts too, and I really am hoping it is just because of indigestion. I also need to get more sleep. I stayed up watching The Legend of the Guardians last night, which by the way is the best movie that I have seen in a while. It was clean, the animation was great, and it was an overall good story line. I like most kid movies though, so if you don't like kids movies then you will probably think it is dumb. Anyways, I stayed up way too late watching that movie, which I am glad I did, but I was typing this post and I guess I fell asleep because I woke up and had deleted everything that I had just typed. Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. But, I hope that everyone is doing well. Have a great week, stay cool (figuratively and literally), and I'll write again soon.
