Tonight at church Adam mentioned something along the lines of our stresses and what really matters. At least that's what God put on my mind from what Adam was talking about. Anyways, well it got me thinking about song lyrics and the first thing that came to my mind was this.
"So take me as you find me
ALL my fears and failures
Make me whole again"
I decided to start analyzing what these lyrics meant to me and my stressful life of high school. Lord, I have stresses and worries that i don't need to think about. Most of the stuff i worry about isn't going to matter next year, or even next week. These little things I get stuck up on, Lord just take them away. Make me whole again. With what matters. Your spiritual food (I paid attention a little).
All of that and quite a bit more came spilling out while praying with Rachel. I just think it's so cool that God can show me what i'm singing actually means. Instead of just mindlessly singing words that i read off a screen. I have always tried to analyze what i'm singing, but i am not that skilled at multi-tasking. So the moral of the story is think before you sing, because you can get so much more out of a simple chorus just by pondering it's meaning. God Bless. Lata Kids.

P.S. Thank God for being able to find people on facebook that i am so in common with that it's crazy. I met this girl on that application called "Are you Interested." Anyway she's a beautiful girl, who plays bass and guitar (big plus). We like so many of the same bands. One of the most important things is she struggles with the same things at her school that i do at Castle High School. We both have to live our lives for Christ in a place where we can be persecuted for our beliefs, but we just have to give it ALL up to him. It is now 12:44 AM and i have school tomorrow. Night.

Dr. Pepper, New Years Resolutions, and Driver's Licence.
New Years was a few weeks ago at this point, and I have already broken a few of my resolutions. The first that I will mention that has already been broken was to not drink soda anymore. Another resolution is not one that i feel very comfortable saying to everyone on this silly site, but feel free to ask me in person. The final resolution is one that i can keep, and that is to not crash my truck when i get my license in 1 day.
The reason I wanted to quit drinking soda is because of some idea I got that caffeine was bad for me; however i quickly came to realize that i need caffeine to thrive in my nocturnal habitat. I could have tried to drink caffeine free soda, but honestly that stuff taste horrid. The whole idea of not drinking soda was an overall fail, i mean who doesn't love the first sip of a brand new opened Dr. Pepper. The only thing that is relatively good with my resolution of not drinking soda is now when i eat in restaurants i order water, it's much more cost efficient and healthy. Monday January 19th was the day i had my first soda of 2009 it was a Dr. Pepper that i must say tasted superb, thanks Adam for providing it.
My second resolution is one that i guarantee will be kept at all costs. Like i said before i don't feel like telling it to the world, but if we are pretty tight and comfy around each other then feel free to ask. I may tell or may not, don't be offended if i don't.
The third resolution is one that is going to be easy to keep, hence it being one of the resolutions i am keeping. I now get my license officially in 40 or so hours. Once i get that license i would like to say that i will not crash my vehicle or get pulled over for the rest of 2009 and hopefully my whole life. I would promise to all of blogger.com that i would not crash my truck for the remainder of the year, BUT i think my word is plenty enough. At least that's what the bible says in Matthew 5:33-37.
After writing all this at such a late hours, thanks to Dr. Pepper, I now ask myself a question i have never asked myself before. Why do people make resolutions and not do their best to follow threw on them? For example my resolution about Dr. Pepper. The answer to that question in my opinion is we make resolutions that we think will make us a better person in the world's eyes, but not our own eyes necessarily. These resolutions that we make sometimes have nothing to do with what we want, but rather they are about conforming to our world. Conforming to a world that already has enough people trying to be the best. After saying this i realize that our best on this earth really matters nothing to God, and just because you are the best person on this whole planet does not mean that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, or that you are going to spend life eternally with him in heaven. So what do you think about resolutions? Let me know what you guys think please.
Love Brady.
