Given the choice between being shot and not being shot, not being shot is USUALLY better.

It just occurred to me that there are many, many people whose daily lives consist of waking up at 7 AM for some job they despise, spending 8 hours there, then coming home too tired to do any of their hobbies, before taking a couple anti-depressants because they struggle to feel any happiness or meaning, before watching mindless television until midnight before going to bed wishing there was something more to their lives. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I would consider hell. No hope, no ambition, just a bitter reality of a meaningless, unenjoyable life.

Day 22

All I have to do is wait. Whatever judgment I receive, will be just. Because in the end, it's God and God alone who will rule and be magnified.

Amen

So my dad has digital cable. Meaning i can rewind something if i miss it.
I was sitting here and thought i saw something odd flash by the window outside, but i didn't get a good look. My first reaction was to grab the remote and rewind it. I think that's a bad sign. :rolleyes:

For a few months now, I've been dreaming on and off about rooms of my past. Its like I walk through this very large house, each door I enter is a hallway or room of a house or place I've been before, and that is relevent to me in some way. Each room brings back a memory, a feeling, a smell, and people; all transitioning into the other. It is quite interesting. and yet I feel a bit uneasy during it. Can't escape the past I suppose. And since I've moved around 13 times in my life, and transitioned a lot through friends, and 'identities', there is a lot to go through- emotionally, and mentally.

Very interesting. When I lost my memories I prayed for God to restore them via dreams.

I wonder why women are so much nastier in the bathroom than men. I mean really.
I wonder why I make the same mistakes over.:confused: Will I ever learn??????
I wonder why my heart gets so troubled, when I know Jesus loves me more than the birds.
I wonder why I can't fully trust God when I trust Him to take me to heaven. Why can't I trust Him with everyday life
Just maybe, could it be you have not made the conscious decision to die to self with Christ back at the cross, that Paul decided was best for him to do,
Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

And the part about trusting God with everyday life might be from bad experiences of others that mislead and do us wrong that leaves bad tastes in our mouths, being disgusted over this when the other(s) had hurt us claimed they were of God and knew scripture used it to their benefit over others, IS NOT GOD, it is the people misusing God.
There are a lot of them out here in the world today.
God would much rather have a personal relationship with each of us personally first and foremost.
People can't be trusted 100% of the time, Can you, I can't, but God can the creator of all known best through Christ
Anyway hope you see to give up your works by dying with Christ at the cross in your carnal mind and then see the resurrection and be raised back up by God the Father, as God the Father already did for Christ, you then are a representative of God's love to all, no matter who they are or what they do, for it is by God's love that teaches me at least to say no to unrighteousness by standing in God's righteousness as a partaker, not an imitator
Hope to have given you insight, God knows and God is all that counts at least in my seeing

I may or may not be on the path to getting confirmed in the Lutheran church. Granted, I'm about ten years older than the average person going through it, but whatever.
To me God is the only one that confirms through the Holy Ghost that God gives you, to be confirmed by any other is a man's doing not God, think about it who truly loves you man or God?

This world is set up that way, and it has happened to many what you say, not all, and is why we are only just in the world and not of it. big difference in Joy or Happiness. Joy is constant and happiness is like a Yo-Yo up and down as ones mood swings. A lot of tragedies in this life here on earth that occur, and it is not based on being good or bad since tragedies happen to all no matter who anyone is, or what they believe. Worry and stress come from not being satisfied down deep in one's heart, and this can even be distorted over physical ailments as well, that truthfully none of us have any control over and yet want to, and therefore it gets worse because of the want, to be never hurting, and thus are as a result of wanting, so one tries and the harder one tries the worse it seems to get, at least this is what I have experienced, and the whole time somehow I know, God just love me as is my premise and is what has kept me from falling completely apart as I am apart.

So why not just Magnify God now, no matter what tragedies are in our realm here on earth, knowing somehow all things will work towards the good for God and if you are in God then somehow, it works towards your Good. For God is a God of Love and Mercy, and all my works will burn up, yet all of God's works that God produces through us at our asking for this will not ever burn up. the difference of true works and works of the flesh. It is all God and no one else.

Maybe just sort out one thing at a time and not let it all crash in at once, and you will sort it out hearing truth as what is what, to keep you set free. Moved around a thousand times after I was secure to the age of 18, since then gone here, there and over there a lot, and do not know if I will ever settle down to one town or state, yet settled down in my mind at least, dealing with each tragedy as they come to the best I can, do the same and I think you will get through it all alright

Going to be talking to my pastor today. Nothing to do before then, kinda bored. :/ Hate waiting around doing nothing.

Once the membership stuff gets figured out, it's likely they'll have me come to the front of the church (which might have as many as 200 people attending) and basically introduce and congratulate me. 200 people... ick. What's worse, the service is also aired on the radio, so a few hundred to thousand are gonna hear me and stuff. o_O

I dreamt of a lightning storm lastnight and my old bedroom where I had my first grand mal seizure and cut my back on the bedside table. Apparently I moved back there. Table and bed was still there. It all made sense, the lightning symbolic of a seizure in that room.

I once dreamt that I was with someone and they wanted to show me lightning, and well I like storms so I went along with them. When we finally got there, I looked up at the sky and the lightning wasn't natural- it didn't move like it should. And I said to the person, 'that isn't lightning' and woke up long enough to notice that I was going into a grand mal seizure. I believe that the dream and lightning was a manifestation of what was going on in my nervous system. With the neurons misfiring. A storm going on in my brain.

You know what. I keep seeing in my dreams this one place where I used to live before this one. And I see it so often. And Idk why-but it always has two things in my dream-my old school or the end of the world (with some really weird things happening).
