Ditch

Getting done today. I'm pretty sure I'll hate my life by then. Pictures up ASAP. Peace

Praise

Tonight, I was fortunate enough to put my church-skeptisism aside and go to Crossroads with Tony. The reason I say "Fortunate" is because I heard a story that changed my life. The service started out talking about God sending a Baby down for our salvation..The baby ends up dying..and changes (Saves) the whole world..You know what I'm talking about, right? Hopefully you do.

The pastor went on and started to talk about a Woman who was pregnant. When she was about 9 months into her pregnancy, the doctors announced to her that her baby would be stillborn. Obviously the mother is devastated (who wouldn't be?). The mother ends up getting together many people and prays for the Baby. Two months later, the Baby was born..however, it still had many problems with it that wouldn't allow it to live for more than a few hours.

The mother spent and charished the time that she had with her baby. About 3 hours later, the baby passed away.

Instead of being upset, the mother praised God for giving her time with the baby. This baby actually changed the lives of many, many, many people..

I just think it's beautiful how someone can look at a tragedy and be soo strong, and turn it into a testimony that has brought others closer with God.

I'm not good at summarizing things like this at all...I just hope that anyone that reads this will understand to either be thankful for what they have, or believe in Gods will, even though sometimes we may ponder it.

If I find a link with the mothers letter, or an overall more specific version of what I typed I'll be sure to post it.

Praise Him.

I Feel

Completely blessed right now. I hadn't been hanging out with people who really share the same beliefs as I do, so I prayed that God would send some fellow believers my way. Sure enough, God showed me that I didn't necessarily need to find "New Friends", but make more of an effort to get in touch with people I haven't had the chance to be around for a long time. For awhile I felt like I was all alone. I actually had been attacked for being a "Christian" while the whole entire Prop 8 BS was going on..I didn't even support Prop 8, so I can't see why people would bash me on such an issue. Either way, the things these people said really hurt my feelings.

It feels great to be around my friends again..I feel like I can discuss anything that's on my mind, which is great because I've been bottling up a lot lately.

Sushi today was great..I can't wait for Thanksgiving tomorrow, and hopefully vegan food with Tony on friday.

I'm soo thankfull for how far I've come (in life and especially with my walk with God). Thank you Lord.

Jobless

Wow..I just typed a bunch of stuff and clicked "Publish Post" and the page said "We're sorry but we're unable to publish your post"...great.

Anyways, I'm going to try to quickly summarize everything I typed before.
I no longer have a job at Target.
Last night was fun.
I hope something else comes up.

First Session

It was about 3 hours or so. Jim has to be one of the nicest people I've ever met, hands down. It felt like it went by super fast..not sure if that's because we were talking the whole time, or if he's just really fast. I didn't plan on having the "Fiend" on my forearm, but I really liked the way the first piece turned out.

I also registered for RCC classes earlier today! Pure Win!

Dude,

Sweet.
My forearm will be covered on Thursday..Soo stoked. I have to apply for RCC this week. Hopefully that'll go well.

It's kind of silly how all these conservative people I know are flipping out over the elections. People shouldn't judge him. He hasn't even started his term..
It's dumb that Prop 8 passed. I honestly didn't think that it would go through. The guy who's the head of "Protect Marriage . COM" should probably burn in hell. I don't like saying stuff like that, but he actually made ALOT of money off of all this turmoil.

It's all really irritating to me, being a liberal.."Follower", because people seem to think "It's all the christians fault". Whilst I don't choose to label myself a "Christian", that still upsets me greatly. It's like saying something idiotic like "All people from the south must be rednecks or in the KKK because they're from the south".

Does that make sense? If you think like that, let me tell you this:
You're going to find idiots in every group or congregation of people. Not everyones the same. Every congregation has 50% assholes and 50% nice people.

And no, I don't believe that..God hates..anyone for that matter. It's only humans that've created this Homophobia/Prejudice BS.
God wouldn't be here holding up signs that says he "Hates Fags"..that's just ludicris.

I'll stop ranting now, but hopefully someone will take into consideration what I just typed.

One Love.

Waiting For The Blackout

Not much is new with me. I got my halloween costume and makeup yesterday. I also got my kitty, Shiva. She's 5 months old and is a total sweetheart.

I finally finished "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe". I'm a really slow reader..the movies battle scene was totally different from the books.

Anyways..I'm going to see The Damned and Adolescents tonight @ HOB in Anaheim with Tony. I'm soo excited, it's been forever since I've gone to a show!!
