Sleep

So, I never knew this but Dennis told me a week or so ago that whenever I sleep over his house I respond like I’m awake. I don’t remember any of it and It’s supposedly really funny… He says at first I only nodded and shook my head when he asked me questions, and then eventually I started talking.. He told me I tell the truth and nothing but it because I told him some really truthful stuff that I probably wouldn’t have told him while awake. He says I also tell him stuff I wouldn’t normally know.. Like he asked me how many miles are on his car and I knew while sleeping but he asked me when I was awake and I had absolutely NO clue… huh, I don’t know what this condition is but maybe its related to people who sleep walk? It isn’t related to if I’m dreaming or not, because sometimes he wakes me up and I was dreaming and sometimes I wake up and I know I wasn’t dreaming, just in a state of “sleep”

Sorry, I’ve just been so busy between works.. I never get a chance and just sit down and blog.
I put in my 3 weeks for work yesterday at Catzablanca, and of course.. my cousin got mad for some reason.. Because I won’t be able to work there anymore and that rules out the option of working weekends for school (which was already ruled out anyways because of the scheduling they have there.. but thats a whole nother story) I’ve been really frustrated lately.. I work so much, and just recently have I just been on the breaking point of wanting to just lay in my bed all day and do nothing. I don’t know what it is but i dread work. I hate it SO passionately. Ugh. my cousin told me I can’t work during the weekdays for school.. which I was planning on. she says I wont get my school work done. I told her she’s underestimating me. If I can work 12 hour days during the summer then I can work 4 days a week after school.. Others have done it, infact 3 seniors last year did it at Pieper’s.. if they can do it, I can do it. I don’t know what im going to do now.. because im not going to be able to pay Chris the $375 or whatever it is a month… This is terrible and I just want to get my money back.. I’d rather have no car and not be worried about paying someone back all the time.. There is just so much more stuff, but I don’t want to ramble on and make it seem like a cry-fest. Even though it is.
Later.

And, did you know. Guinea Pigs aren’t totally domesticated? There are wild guinea pigs living in South America where they burrow into the mountainsides and live as one big family.
This should keep us all thinking…

It doesn’t matter if the story is true or false, it’s the fact of the matter that makes it most important.
Acts 15 & My Life.

So, I’ll start off with my life.
It’s going pretty well. I’m doing great with God and I recently got a car (obvious). But what was a shocker was that today I went to go get it insured and it was $235.. way more than i was expecting.. So i borrowed $1000 from my cousin for the car (it was $2000, i had $1000..) and then $200 more for the registration.. I now have $50 dollars in my bank and come Friday another $175 for insurance is being taken out.. Now, I really don’t know how I am going to get this money.. I gave tithe on sunday and it was my biggest yet, because it was the biggest check i’ve ever gotten.. and I could of really used that money.. I’m just trusting in God SO incredibly much that something will come along before Friday. Like, i really don’t know what to do.. I think i bit off more than I can chew. It’s so frustrating. and I need to pay my cousin back by January when taxes are being taken out bc he’s taking the money he let me borrow out of the house tax. So, in 4 months i need to pay him back.. plus $175 for insurance.. plus November and December my hours will be cut back so much because of swimming… I don’t know how this is going to work.. I need a miracle. Please pray
Acts 15
Acts 15 was hard to pull a key verse from, it’s all over the place really and i don’t know what verse would be best.. This chapter kinda seems like a “filler” if you ever read/watched manga
Key verse(s): 39-40
“Their disagreement was so sharp that they separated. Barnabas took John Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus. Paul chose Silas, and as he left, the believers entrusted him to the Lord’s gracious care.
Response:
So, even the disciples didn’t agree with each other sometimes, and this “sharp disagreement” could potentially called a ‘fight’ or ‘argument’.. This shows me that not even the disciples were perfect, and only Jesus himself was. Sometimes I strive for perfection, but yet fall So incredibly short. Like, miles away. But this also shows that God works even through disagreements and arguments.
Prayer:
Lord, this isn’t about this chapter but about my life. I’m trusting you with everything Lord. It’s not as drastic as someone not being able to survive without your help Lord but for me it comes pretty close. I don’t know what to do with my financial situation. It’s so incredibly hard for me to just trust in You to do Your work and make this all right. I beg you please help. Amen
Acts 14

Acts 14
Key verse(s): 12-17
“They decided that Barnabas was the Greek god Zeus and that Paul was Hermes, since he was the chief speaker … we have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them … but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.
Response:
Here is when Paul and Barnabas are thought to be Greek gods, and as the people start to worship them and get ready to sacrifice animals to them they try their best to explain to them that they arent gods, but merely trying to show them the true, living God. They refuse the worship and they refuse all the things the people try to offer them.
Prayer:
I pray to be humbled by your words and to not give into anything anyone may ever offer me for something I don’t deserve.

I was reading a random blog when I read this, I think it spoke to me.. maybe it will speak to you
1. Living as a follower of Christ will cost me everything. How I live cannot be dictated by the expectations of both Christians and non-Christians, but only by Scripture. The Jesus of the Bible who says, “Take up your cross and follow me” is not safe. Contemporary Conservative Christianity is a danger to my soul as it strips the zeal and life and passion out of the life of Christ and His call to live radically. When any words of Scripture no longer impact my soul but rather seem dull and unimportant I have moved my eyes off of Christ. Paul said, “Follow my example as I follow Christ.” This Christ Paul followed was not a safe, tame individual who pulled His punches to keep from offending the crowds, the religious leaders, and even His own disciples whom He loved dearly. Rather love and concern for their souls drove Him to do the will of the Father come hell or high water. Christ knew exactly what His passion for the will of the Father would cost Him. Rip Matthew 23 out of the Bible and Jesus isn’t crucified three days later. But He verbally tore the Pharisees apart for their unbelief and hatred of God knowing He was signing His own death warrant. This is the Jesus I follow.
2. Relationships are not optional. I came to TMC a very judgmental person with a penchant for scratching people’s names out of the Book of Life if they didn’t match up with my own standards. But I am not the judge of my brothers and sisters. I called by God exhort, encourage, and strengthen them. I must see fellow Christians as Christ sees them—people God Himself was willing to be crucified for. Personality differences melt away when faced with the heat of the cross. No amount of awkwardness or pride or cliquish mentality can stand in the way of my love for fellow Christians. Because of my love for God, I love the people who He has redeemed and pour myself into their lives so that we may both grown further in our love for and service to God.
3. Knowledge avails me nothing. During my first class of the semester, the professor walked in the door, set his bag on the table, looked the class in the eye and said, “I do not care what you know about the Bible when you leave this class. You can get an ‘A’ and go to hell. I’m not interested in making smarter sinners in my class. I’m here to help you know God.” Knoweldge does not equate to spiritual growth. Knowledge does not equate to loving God. Knowledge does not equate to eternal life. Knowledge provides an intellectual framework for loving God, but it is not loving God. Loving God is pursuing satisfaction in Him! The Great Commission commands us to “teach them to observe all I have commanded them.” Don’t just teach the truth. Teach them to apply the truth. In order to teach application, I must be already applying the Word to my own life. Scripture is literal. Do exactly what it says.
Oh and BTW, LETS GET BACK ON TRACK WITH ACTS?.. DAILY

Acts 13
Key verse(s): 22
“But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, “I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do”
Response: This verse reminds me of Mike’s message a few weeks ago about how someone who is with Cinema Church would do anything for the church at anytime no matter what the cost. Also, I really liked what it says “a man after my own heart” I want God to say that about me.
Prayer: Lord thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me recently, I pray that I can keep on the right path and show people all around me that I am a man after your own heart. Amen
Acts 12

Acts 12
Key verse(s): 23
“Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.”
Response:
Wow, if someone didn’t already want to take glory away from God than this verse would surely convince them to never take glory for what God has done. Herod died from an infestation of worms when he took the glory away from God and let the people of nations worship him for keeping the trades open.
Prayer:
Lord, keep me vigilant in giving you 100% glory all the time. Lord, let me never accept anytime of glory that should be directed towards you. Amen
