This may or may not be an interesting note. Ever feel like you are at a fork in the road and have been beaten to all kinds of hades but don't know which road to take because you've never seen a fork? Eh I know my posts are usually kind of dark or depressing and I don't mean it to be this way, but more of an interesting thing to think about.
This is the crossroads I am at. Where to go. I know the road to go. But the road in which I want to go causes me to have to change.........good change......needed change......letting God have it all. It's hard to do, but it's already begun. Old ties are cut, new ones are forming. I still have control, but I don't. You know what I'm talking about. You may already be there.
Work is getting hard. I have to and must be more devoted. It's hard, but really, what else do I have to do. I must be better in my faith. I must be better to my friends and family. I must be less selfish. I must be better. End of Story.
I've never been much of a materialistic person, especially as I get older I seem to become less and less that way. I mean I can see why people want all these things. We tend to get things to get praise from other people. I'm not talking about everything, but you understand what I am talking about....I hope. I mean really....I would feel really cool with a Ferrari, huge house, tons of tvs, women, you name it. I would feel really cool having all those friends, but they would only like me because I have those things. Without those things I would be nothing to them, right? I think having some material things are good, but I'm glad I don't get praise for things I have. But then again, I guess I'm spoiled in that I have everything I need. Which I know I take for granted by the way. Ex: Car, tv, xbox, Bible, food, clothes. I have all these things. This is confusing, I'm moving on. End note: I see the point why materialism is stupid, but also why people would want all of these things. Okay....onward.
I want to move into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory with tons of oompa loompas (sp?). The orange guys, not the creepy person from the remake. Okay....on we go. Don't eat the gum Violet.
Wow, I don't think I could possibly be any more random....tonight that is. Take a look at the picture, this is me climbing....yay for class 3+ climb. Yay for Colorado.

It is hard to completely let go and give God full control of your life. You just have to trust Him and have faith. I struggle with those two things everyday. I love to have control and it is hard to just let go and let God. I am reminded everyday by God that I just need to have faith and trust Him with every thing because not everything will turn out the way I want it to, but everything will work out in accordance to His will.
About the materialism - As a kid, we always wanted the latest "toy" to be "popular" and now it seems like everyone wants to live "The Hills" lifestyle. The real question is will all those things bring people happiness? Or is it something to fill the "void" in their life that has to be refilled constantly? I know people that have a lot of "things" but they are never truly happy because they are constantly looking for happiness in all of these things... I personally would not want a lot of friends because of what I have or even to have that attention. True friends are hard to come by - the ones that will be by your side even when you at your lowest valley.
You should listen to the song “Empty Me” by Chris Sligh, it goes well with your entry.
You're as random as mustard on potato chips.
And you can do it man, it just takes a little dedication. It's tough, that's for sure. I know that.
