Ok, Well I have not posted on this blog in some time.
But now the new summer is upon us and so here I go again.
If you have never read my blog, SHAME! Here I will be posting many of lives questions which are thrown at us every day and answering them correctly, without fault. It is a gift that I have been given by God and I hope you are blessed by it. I am only joking. So don't expect this to be an "answers to life's questions" blog but just a kid who likes to ask questions and hear what you think.
Sometimes I will dabble into some theology, sometimes I will just be sharing stories. That's what I am going to do today.
Here's my first story of the summer:
I had my tonsils taken out last Wednesday. What an experience. If you know me then you know. . . I am a talker. . . and a singer. So one could guess that me not having a voice for quite some time might be a tough thing on me. Anyways. . . this has been a true test of my patience. As I am writing you this blog, I can feel the pain in my throat. It is truly difficult.
Has anyone reading this ever been under an anesthetic? yes. . . no? well this was my first experience going "under" and let me say. . .WOW! It is amazing to me how we can go out of this world for 1hr or more and wake up and so much has changed. I woke up and was in pain. . .Oh my, oh my I was in pain. I woke up wondering, "Has it happened?" It was like no time had passed at all. Incredible!
It made me wonder if that is how I sometimes live my life as a Christian. . . "under"
I am constantly sleeping through life letting things happen, opportunities pass and then all of the sudden I am awakened to the real reality of this world. I allow the evil one to put me to sleep in my faith and then when I awake again, I am in a tough struggle that I didn't even realize I was in. Maybe you don't get my metaphor. . .
Maybe you do. . .
I pray that you do not allow the worries of this world to put your faith to sleep. Stand firm in your beliefs and don't let those God moments pass you by because you are asleep to the opportunities. Because if we allow ourselves to sleep through life worrying about our own selfish problems, we can be asleep to the God opportunities in our mist.
May you be alive in Christ!
May you be dead to sin!
May you be consciously aware of the opportunities God has for you!
God Bless you all!
And may you read my blog! hehe

Hey Wade! Don't know you - just sent you a friend request a few minutes ago. Know your dad from work - he's a pretty cool guy! Saw Sing Song for the first time ... I'm not from Abilene but have lived here going on 9 years now... but not being from here - don't know anyone and well ... don't really know anything about Abilene except the scenery, work, home, etc!!
I've only read the first of your blog posts ... will read more later.
Thank you for taking the time to do that. I have found it is important in this world for those of us who have a spot in the kingdom to be expressive about life and what we've learned and what we are thinking.
You sound a lot like me when I was your age - or a little younger... eager. Eager to spread every bit of Jesus to everyone and anyone for the taking. I spent my free time thinking on Him and His plan for me; enjoying the small wonders in life and the small but oh so important lessons He was teaching me in life.
Then, I started to have to care for things I didn't have to before; my mom; then all the bills; then the house the yard, etc etc and I lost that 'loving feeling' so to speak. I still have my quiet moments between me and God - those revelations... but they usually stop with me. That's sad in a way - not that I am any great speaker by any means or have any great words of wisdom ... but I do miss being involved.... so taking a shot here and hopefully more later!
I do understand your story and have been there! The fact that you even thought that is a great witness - to me anyway! Thank you for sharing. I hope this summer brings more of your thoughts/stories to your blog!
In Christ,
Beci
