| It is always interesting when change hits you. When it hits you that you will never relive some of the best moments of your life. Not the kind of change that happens when you move or circumstances change, but when you miss certain aspects of your life. When your friends get married and things are never the same. It's not the fact that you might not live near them, but it's the fact that hanging out with them will never be the same. Or when you want to experience a group trip with the church or school again, but you never will. It is kind of a weird feeling because I generally like change. I like the challenge of new surroundings and places, but tonight is one of those nights when I miss some of the past. I miss friends, places, and older challenged that I have already experienced. So I guess if you have some good experiences, let me know because I would love to relive them with you. | | |
| Only Trust Me
"What today is dark with sorrow, Will be bright with joy tomorrow; Only Trust me.
All the gloomy days will brighten, All the heavy clouds will lighten; Only trust me.
Time will draw aside the curtain, From what now is but uncertain; Only trust me.
Not the things which seem believing, What we see is oft deceiving; Only trust me.
But forgetting all past sorrow, Waiting patiently the 'morrow; Only trust me."
James Weldon Johnson | | |

| So I went to a sixth grade dance today. They had a dance for the students who had good grades today. We were there and we helped them keep everything in order. It was quite amusing. Here's to boys and girls standing in opposite corners and kids that can dance. | | |
| I've been thinking and reading a lot about who Jesus calls us to be. Which I guess is a good thing since I'm in seminary, but it went much deeper than that. It went to the core of why I'm so bad at trying to be like him. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard. It's an overwhelming task for sure, but just a little bit everyday shouldn't be too hard. Yet I never seem to fail to mess things up. I know we are in a spiritual world at war and yet Jesus calls us to be peacemakers. He tells Peter to put down his sword. He doesn't tell us to fight for him, but he tells us to love for him. Why in a world filled with spiritual warfare would the Son of God not ask us to fight. Then I began to understand tonight when I sang the song, "Sing to the King." It says that "Satan is vanquished and Jesus is King." It hit me. It's over. It is already done.
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
Revelation 19:11-16
Maybe my life would be different if I would start living it like I knew the ending, because I do. It is like the seen in Lord of the Rings when Gandolf tells them to watch for him from East. He comes to the rescue during the morning on his white horse with a multitude behind him. We know the end. Christ is victorious and Satan is vanquished. I should stop acting like I'm not sure what is going to happen. We are called to be peacemakers, because he already took care of the war.
