K so this blog is pretty much me rambling just for a warning…….but I guess thats basically all I do on this wordpress thing anyways so feel free to read or ignore:
I am feeling like I’m being directed to start doing stuff with two aspects of my life while I have time to do so.
One being my walk with God, I feel like in a lot of ways I am keeping the fact that I serve and love Christ a secret. How can I keep the love of my savior inside me because of fear. It seems like we are becoming a passionless nation blurring out the Truth and clinging to things that hopelessly try to fill up our emptiness and depression. Im not saying I need to go out and preach to everyone I don’t think Im called to that, but if I truly loved the Lord with everything I had then I think not just my life would reflect that but my mouth would speak it with the opportunities God gives me.
The other aspect of my life is planning and saving for my future what ever it might be. I know that although men may plan things God directs their paths, and I also believe that while we wait to see what God has in store this waiting needs to be a active waiting period. So with a few ideas of what I want to do in the future all I know for sure is that I need to save as much money as fast as I can. I keep running various ideas by my family of how I can cut cost back to the good old days where I had basically no bills and most of my checks went almost completely into savings. However, most of my ideas tend to get shot down pretty fast for one reason or another. here are some.
- get rid of my cell phone
- use my mom’s little honda to save on gas and insurance
- live outta my backpack (this one is recent and I like it but know it sounds stupid)
to expand on the last one, I just mean to walk everywhere I go-even tho it rains : ( everything is just a pleasant walk away, and if I had lots to do and had to change cause the weather I could just shove everything into my backpacking pack and get some practice. It would also be quite humbling cause I’ll pretty much look like a retard : ) but making it all the more fun experience.
So I might not do any of these but it was pretty entertaining to think of things I could do without and who knows maybe I will decide to ruff it just for the experience.
even if I don’t follow through it’s always fun to plan-and with planning comes praying.

hum…living out of a backpack? well i would suggest buying some muck boots, a good rainproof trench coat, goggles, and a HUGE umbrella. that idea might have been a little more effective (and cool) if you would have started it in the spring.
hahah. but seriously, it would be good exercise, might get old with the cold, but it’s all about how determined you are i guess.
using the honda? interesting idea? would you sell your car? what did mom say?
i was all about getting rid of our cellphones too. till i had a baby. but as long as you know you’d get your messages from home then why not?
much love ang. if i can ever help you with any of these new things you’re wanting to try/do, let me know.
