(i know it's long but please read) singing God's praises, six flags, friends
June 14 2006
i had been thinking the past couple of days about how i wanted to do a post on this but i always ran into the quandry of how to do it without sounding boasfun and un-humble. (ya, ya'll liked that word quandry didnt you. haha)
anyways.
a few weeks ago brother dean used philipians chapter 2. and one of the verses was verse 14.
"Do everything withough complaining or arguing, '15' so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe..."
i want to dwell on the part about doing everything without complaining or arguing. for those of ya'll that know me at all you know that i did not want to work at nissan this summer. it was the last thing i wanted to do. after i heard this i'm pretty sure i turned to amy and told her that i dont need to complain about working there anymore and it'll be alot better. i know i told whitney that.
soon after my supervisor sent me to forklift school which is a privallage and included a raise and then they told us that the forklift drivers were getting a cost of living raise. i was like "oh my gosh, thank you God". if He hadn't sent me to forklift school, then i wouldnt gotten any kind of raise. things have truly become more amazing since i have stopped looking at it in such a negative way.
like i said, i'm not trying to brag, just tell you about my blessings. God could be preparing me for whats to come which could be bad or good, you never know, but i'm taking it one step at a time and continuing to thank God.
there's lots more that i need to do to improve my walk with God, which i'm working on, but i know forsure that he's looking out for me.
the trip to six flags was amazing. i'm glad i saw the martya station so that we could get on the subway to go downtown. it was awesome. look at the pics on aimee davis' site, i dont have them, but i asked for them. haha.
i really needed that trip to get away from things and have fun. i've really come to see what friends are for and what to look for. i hate it when i see a friend take a turn for the worse. i try to change things so that something bad doesnt happen but it's hard to do so without being a jerk. oh well, i just try to be the best influence. the hard part is, that when the problem is when the person is easily influenced, they dont pick up on the best influences. kinda sucks.
hope everyone has a great day, and if your still reading this, post a comment and i'll talk about how cool you are on my next post. maybe even post enough on your next post to make it the "most posted". haha.
