Preguntas?

So I was browsing blogger like I usually do every day, and it hit me that it has been almost a month since I last posted. Slacker much? Anyways, since I don't really know what to write about, I figured I'd let you do that for me. =p Kinda stole this idea off of espn, where the guy who covers the Big 12-ish conference (which I probably check 20 times a day) answers questions that his readers send in.

Basically, you ask questions below, and I'll answer them in my next post. There's not really any certain topic for this, so just ask whatever you'd like. This is also kind of my way of not caving in to getting a formspring haha. xp

Don't tell me not to fly...I've simply got to.

Well...I had been working on a Glee medley thingy in honor of the end of the first season, but my brother is currently asleep...so I'm compensating by listening to Glee instead. And I figure while doing so I might as well write as I promised to do so. =p

Hmm...so life lately. Well the first couple of weeks back I spent a lot of time missing Austin and especially the people there (most of whom actually aren't there atm) which kinda put me in a little slump. I mean, it's not that I was depressed or anything, I just got rather lazy and this began to translate over into my spiritual life. This spiritual slump is something I went through last summer which was rather sad as I had ended the year on a pretty high note. And I don't want that to happen again, so I've decided to fix that.

How am I going about this you ask? Well to start off, I've started saying this St. Jude (becamse I myself am a lost cause =) )novena that I got from Keith E. as a gift the past awakening. It's been really nice and making myself start and end each day with prayer has just been awesome. I've always struggled with starting the day off with prayer, and you really notice a difference when you do and when you don't. So even when this novena is over, I'm going to make a conscious effort to start off each day with some sort of prayer.

Another awesome thing that's just come up recently that will definitely help in my spiritual life is that I've been asked by my old youth minister, Doug Weisbruch, to help out with the high school youth group at our church over the summer. Seriously, what better opportunity to not only strengthen my faith life, but to help others grow in theirs at the same time? Also, I'm going to be helping out with the guys' bible study (they separated genders since they'll have different topics) which should be really good as I've been slacking quite a bit in the bible reading department since starting college.

As the summer progresses, I'm hoping to build on this and maybe return to school having had grown deeper in faith as opposed to having fallen back a bit? That'd be nice haha.

Hmm this is a bit shorter than I thought it'd be. I started this like 3-4 hours ago, but got distracted by YouTube. Again. Namely live Glee videos. =D

On second glance, this really isn't that short haha. Yay! =p

And it's almost 5 am. Eek!

IOU

This is just a reminder for me to write something before the weekend's out. I've been kinda slacking since school let out haha. I've wanted to write something, and it's not like I haven't had the time to...Goodness knows I've been sleeping/bumming around wayyy too much lately. I just haven't set aside time to reflect on things and have been wasting too much time. So if anybody reads this, and I don't have anything posted by Monday...Feel free to scold me. =)

P.S. Computer parts should come in tomorrow. Score.

O.o

You know the way for me, you know the time

into your hands I trustingly place mine.

Your plan is perfect, born of perfect love.

You know the way for me, that is enough.

It's funny...stuff happens in your life, and you think God's telling you one thing, you think you know what you want, then next thing you know, He pulls a complete 180 on you, and you're like"wdtem?"

But then again, there's the times when you read too much into things. So again, wdtem?

...For I want my whole life to be nothing else

than a continuous, and everlasting yes

to the wishes, to the will of God,

the Eternal Father.

This is my desire, to be used by You.

Weathering the Storm...

Hold Us Together by Matt Maher

It don't have a job
Don't pay your bills
Won't buy you a home
In Beverly Hills

Won't fix your life
In five easy steps
Ain't the law of the land
Or the government

But it's all you need..

Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm

And I'll, be, my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

It's waiting for you
Knockin' at your door
Every moment of truth
When your heart hits the floor

When you're on your knees then...

Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm

And I'll, be, my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

This is the first, day of the rest of your life
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright

Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm

And I'll, be, my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

I love this song

Sometimes...

we get so caught up in our own lives...in our own problems...that we fail to see what's going on with those around us. And that really is a fail. An epic one. I want to always be someone people can come to if there's something bothering them...I mean, I might not always know what to say, but I want to be there to at least listen...or just be there...if...there is a load...that you have to bear...

*cue Lean On Me*

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box...

So, I'm sitting here listening to Owl City since it's usually my pick-me-up music, but instead, it just sent my mind on a wild rampage of thinking haha. *sigh* I wish I could just stop over-analyzing everything. It's an annoying problem of mine. I mean really, it's dumb and causes unnecessary stress and anxiety haha. (Ok, switching from OC to angsty/ventable N2N(actually, that's not helping either...))

*twenty minutes later*

So I was unable to vent on the piano(my preferred choice) because my roomie and his girlfriend are currently asleep, so...I decided to turn off my music...and just pray. Offer it all up. And what do you know? It helped! haha who'da thunk it? But really. My head's rather shut up at the moment. It's nice. =)

And since I did title this blog with lyrics from The Beatles...

I find myself in times of trouble...Mother Mary comes to me.

Speaking words of wisdom...Let It Be.

^^That is something I need to work on.

**Thoughts 12 hours later**

I'm silly. That is all.
