Changes.

Changes I need to make:

1. Spend as much time as possible with my friends.
2. Don't waste time, use it.
3. Exercise often.
4. Eat more vegetables.
5. Eat more fruit.
6. Drink less caffiene, more water.
7. Make the most of every oppertunity.
8. Attempt to not completely stress out over school and money.
9. Be myself. No matter what.

*This list may change at any point.

I have been told, more than once, that my blogs are a bit depressing. This may be another depression, or, a celebration.

This summer has been long. It has been short as well. I wasted time. I sat around, studied, watched a few movies, read a book, spent time with friends, went on vacation to Mexico, took a few tests, went to Galveston once. This is typical. There wasn't much adventure, but it wasn't horrible either. It was over all 'pleasant'. However, I didn't grow. I became oh-so complacent with my life. I let the Lord come in second, or third, or even forth place. I put on the face of righteousness. It was a good act, an act that I honestly started believing myself. The lyrics from "What Do I Know of Holy" by Addison Road can pretty much sum up my attitude. They go as follows:

I made You promises a thousand times

I tried to hear from Heaven

But I talked the whole time

I think I made You too small

I never feared You at all

If You touched my face would I know You?

Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)

What do I know of You

Who spoke me into motion?

Where have I even stood

But the shore along Your ocean?

Are You fire? Are You fury?

Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?

What do I know? What do I know of Holy?'

I guess I thought that I had figured You out

I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about

How You were mighty to save

Those were only empty words on a page

Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be

The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

The bolded lyrics at the end of this peice is what broke my heart. I did know all the strories and knew how to talk about how Mighty God is. But man! "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."(Psalm 73:25-26) The psalmist knew of Holy. "I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." (Psalm 9:1-2).

I don't really have a good closing for this post. This is just my heart. The end.
