Volleyball :-(

Well, we lost tonight...pretty badly. So, My high school volleyball career is over and the chances of me playing in college are very small. We will see what happens though! I actually should be working on online homework that is due in about a half hour, but I dont understand any of it. Its frustrating because the teacher hasnt even been there for us to ask questions, and she gave us a test today without being there and I totally failed that too. Urghh...frustrated! Im ready for bed but I know that that isn't going to happen anytime soon! Okay well Im going to go at least attempt the homework...good night all! Oh and Kris, thanks for the cake, but I dont remember you promising me cake! We will discuss this Friday! 4 days until the Revolve Tour!

Without God, Life Sucks!

I don't know why, but I do it everytime. I get so comfortable with the way life is going that I forget that God is the reason as to why it may be going so well. I started this senior year living the life. I had friends, parties, just loving life. Where did God fit into all of this? To be honest, I saw Him as a burden and something that I didn't have time for. What happened as a result? I lost at least half of my friends. I am made fun of almost every day in school and have a lot of people who don't like me. I live day to day wondering why I am here. I figured meh I'll just go back to Him whenever. Not how it works. Saying "okay God, games over time to come back to you" just doesn't always cut it. We expect Him to work in our lives, but yet we make no effort whatsoever to draw nearer to Him. I kept wondering why God wasn't taking the pain away and why things still completely sucked. I was begging Him, but I wasn't doing what He was asking of me. Was I spending time with Him? Nope, I still thought that it was His job to fix things. The thing is, He doesn't even promise to take those things away. But when Christ is so sufficient in your life and you are ever so close to Him, His compassion and love pour out on you so much that the pains in your life are drowned out by that. Life lesson, hard, but good!
