Today....everyday...for me at least, i cover quite a wide range of emotions...thursday night I had a hard time sleeping. It was a long day and a lot of things were weighing on my heart. I got up and sat down with my Bible, a notebook, and my iPod (yes… iPods are very spirtual things. Right up there with Bibles and notebooks.) Todays sermon was just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...very very convicting....it's amazing how we sugarcoat our sins or label them as a sin of less importance because we don't think it has that great of a consequence. I was thinking afterwards about how often we may be greatly affected by the "big" sins in our lives and we in our minds try to rationalize that God could never forgive such a terrible sin and we just let it sit in our hearts instead of confessing and truly believing that God wants to bear the "big" and the "small" sins...by not giving it over to God we're just saying that we think it is too great for him to handle, which denys that He is God.

Wedding Dress Derek Webb If you could love me as a wife and for my wedding gift, your life should that be all i’ll ever need or is there more i’m looking for and should i read between the lines and look for blessings in disguise to make me handsome, rich, and wise is that really what you want (chorus) i am a whore i do confess but i put you on just like a wedding dress and i run down the aisle i’m a prodigal with no way home but i put you on just like a ring of gold and i run down the aisle to you so could you love this bastard child though i don’t trust you to provide with one hand in a pot of gold and with the other in your side i am so easily satisfied by the call of lovers less wild that i would take a little cash over your very flesh and blood (chorus) because money cannot buy a husband’s jealous eye when you have knowingly deceived his wife

but a must know

           

and now my life has changed in oh so many ways

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

i'm back

I have writer's block and I've only just begun  

"I once read about this girl with no arms.  She just had hands attached directly to her body.  And the article said that the girl didn't know the meaning of the word can't.  And that made me sad...because I thought...not only does she have no arms, but she can't even understand simple contractions"

siiigh...good ol mitch....long gone are those days. So anyways, myspace is a memory of the past so here i am letting out my thoughts, feelings and slightly overbearing tendencies on the unsuspecting world of xanga. I'm back with a revamped, fresh outlook on life as I know it, trying to live the best way I am capable of.....assuming of course that I'm relying soley on the one true, steadfast rock. Seems like everyday is a struggle, being pulled like a game of tug of war, sometimes falling back into the things I thought I'd overcome...sometimes feeling like all the praying and struggling was really worth it.  Fotunately....it doesnt matter how much I screw up, or how many times I do something right because through it all....God remains, always loving, always correcting and I can smile, knowing God. As for life in general, I'd say things are pretty darn good. Amazing things are going on that I never would have imagined. Sometimes life sure does throw you a few curve balls when you aren't expecting... enough for now. Peace out  =)

Christmas-----came and gone

New Years---came and gone

Next thing to look forward to, Retreat with New Covenant this coming weekend. At first i wasnt really digging goin on this retreat but now the closer it gets the more excited i am about it. The speaker they have apparently is amazing and of course i know my friends and I will just have a blast. There are a ton of people going this year and some new people to get to know better. The only thing i'm not looking forward to is the staying in cabins part of it...and the showers dont leave much to be desired either...but i will cope somehow...after all i did survive last year...barely...but this year will be much better in more ways than one.
