I have been thinking a lot more then usual as of late. About many different things from where I belong in the church, to girls, to just random other crap that in the end does not matter.
About Church
As many of you know I have been a youth pastor and recently resigned from that church. I will not speak ill of the church on here so you can just go on and assume whatever you want to about that situation. Yes I am a very strong willed person but as much as people do not think I do, I do know when to be quiet and how to work with others. But I am a firm believer in some times God will call us to things that will be tough and may not end the way we want but it is how we stand during it all that matters. I still love God and even though I do believe that many church need to be revived and actually let the holy spirit work in them, i do still love the church. I am just currently trying to find out where I should go.
About Girls:
Do you really think I am about to talk about this on my blog? All i need is people trying to read into my words to try to figure out what I am thinking or what girl is on my mind. What am I in 6th grade? Of course I am a guy of course I find girls attractive but I am trying really hard to not put stock in that. Plus i graduate in Decemeber so no need to care to much right now.
This world is interesting and this is a little bit of what I am thinking about recently. If you could see in my brain it would seem a lot deeper then this and a lot more like a tangled web but I guess it is a good thing you cant. Also it is very late and I am tired so forget that fact that this may not make a lot of sense.

Thoughts
Here are some quick thoughts of things I may write about in the near future. Let me know if any of these you would like to read about.
1. It is impossible for 2 broken people who are both in a pit to fix each others problems. Reason I am starting to think this is because it is impossible to pull someone else up when you yourself are falling down.
2. So often when things are tough we are told to keep going and stay strong but is it possible that God wants us to stop and stand still for a second? Really been thinking about this a lot recently.
3. Should we even care about relationships? Meaning a boy and girl one, one seeking marriage.
4. Is there times in life when we are truly meant to be alone?
Just some thought going through my mind. Let me know which one you would like to read and I will write it.

For You.
Hmmmm…..hmmm…..what to write about tonight. Now I know that long hmm captivates you enough to keep reading and see what it is that I will truly write about. But would it be interesting for you to here that I am not sure. That is right one of the most opinionated, most outspoken people around is not sure what to write about. But I think this could be a good thing. I tend to talk to much and listen to little. Sometimes I speak without thinking about 1 John 4:7-8 which talks about Love and how we should care for each other.
So this blog is for you, my reader. The few that read what I write and think about what it is that I say at times and who I may even upset at times during these blogs. I do care about you all and truly do pray that anything I write will hopefully impact people in some ways. I pray for you all and thank you for your commitment to caring to read my blog and your commitment to Christ. I do love you all and want you to know I truly mean that.
So I would like you to take the time and write a brief comment, telling me what it is that you want me to write about. I want to be able to use this blog to help people or to be completely honest about things going on in my life. So feel free to comment and I will take some time and try to use my blog to appeal to something you are curious about.

Who Knows Better?
Is it possible that God knows better then I do or you do? I am sure you are sitting at your computer and thinking of course God knows better than I do, so why are you starting your blog with that question? Well then how about I ask a follow up question? How often do you act like you know better then God does? Now this one has got you thinking doesn’t it? We all in our life think we know better then God does at some point or another even though we will all admit that God knows better. Just imagine how often we are like the foolish builder from Matthew 7. The person who knew what God was saying but still went and built his house on sand. And then the storms came and washed away all the work that the man had tried to do without God.
The reason I am sitting here thinking about this is because I am not sure where I am heading in life. And I keep making back of plans that to be honest I am not seeking God on. Imagine how often we do that. We are not sure where God is leading us so we began to make excuses and back up plans because we do not trust that God will reveal his plan to us. We are scared of the mystery of God and the mystery that keeps us searching deeper into who he truly is. We do not like the unknown, and when we get to the unknown we try to run a different direction. But do we truly want to know everything? Would life be enjoyable if we knew exactly what would happen with our next step. Interesting thought.
So as I close this blog I want to encourage you that Gods plan will always, always, always be better then ours. And I promise you one thing and that is that his path will be perfect for those who are on it. I am not going to say it will be easy and I am not saying that when you seek out God that you won’t have to stop in your tracks and look around to see where exactly it is that God wants you to be. To often we make decisions without God. So when we begin to seek after him in every decision we may realize that God wants us in a different spot completely. Maybe a different school, or a different job, different line of work, anything. But again I promise Gods path will be so much better then the one we make for ourselves. Let us as Christians stop being like the foolish builder and begin to be like the wise builder and build upon the rock and the Rock is Christ.
I love you all
