Trust

Trust: (n) assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something; one in which confidence is placed. (v) to commit or place in one's care or keeping; to rely on the truthfulness or accuracy of; to hope or expect confidently.

i was talking to friend recently and the subject of trust came up. its such a small word, you would think it would be easy to do. but many times i know i find myself not trusting in what the Lord is doing in my life, especially when i dont understand how it can better my life and relationship with Him. He tells us that all things work together for good, to them that love Him. its so easy to quote, but so hard to believe sometimes. we get caught up so much in trying to figure out what the Lord is doing, that we miss an opportunity to just trust Him. when we let go of our human desire to know now, and just let God work His will in His way, it will turn out for good.

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

~William Shakespeare

Vacation

Well, i just got back from a pretty awesome vacation in Florida. i got to hang out with my relatives alot, and they are crazy so it was a load of fun. i ate way more food than i thought was humanly possible. i also had opportunities to spend time with relatives i hardly ever see. Christmas Eve we went up to see my great uncle in the hospital. he is ICU because he has a lung condition which makes it so his lungs wont expand. he is on 100% oxygen to help with his breathing, but he gets worse everyday. it is very hard to talk to him cuz he has an oxygen mask and he cant have it off for any period of time. he is a self-proclaimed diest and he gets very angry when you talk about Christianity or anything to do with it. the short amount of time we spent with him was very eye-opening. anyway, on to happier stuff...i got to hang out with my younger cousin. hes 11 and thinks he knows everything, which makes things interesting. hes about two inches shorter than me and 10lbs lighter, but he decided i was gonna give him a piggy back ride around my aunt's house. i ended up spraining my wrist during this excursion, but i got him back later when he decided to wrestle me. my family and i went to the cheesecake factory with my cousin and his new wife. it was really awkward at first because i think i had met him like twice in my entire life, so we really didnt have much to talk about. thankfully his wife and i got along really well, so i just talked to her the whole time. anyway, her dad owns a box at Raymond James Stadium (for all of you ignorant people out there, thats where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play football) and they said the next time we were down in Floriday when the Bucs were playin they would give us their box seats!! how hott is that?? o, and i had the most amazing cheesecake at that place; it was white chocolate caramel latte cheesecake. thats pretty much it. i got money and clothes for Christmas....woohoo. bye

Rednecks and Tatts

ok, so if you are ever on my blog, you realize that i have added some new pics and rearranged some stuff. if you look directly to the right, you will see an amazing picture of the Confederate Naval Jack. i must admit that i have been a redneck from birth. i was raised in the most amazing section of the USA. i've been above the mason dixon a total of 2 times, and those 2 trips just made me love the south more. its hospitipal, warm, and lets face it our accents are way cooler. no amount of arguing or attempts to convince me that the north is better will convince me to change my mind. i'm set in my thoughts on this subject. i am southern and proud of it. just face it, the south rocks!

now on to the other picture. that is a picture of a tribal butterfly tattoo. i must admit that i did not totally freehand that, although i did do most of it. thanks to modern technology i can get some help from my computer. and just to stop all these rumors, that is not my tattoo. i in fact have never had a permanant tattoo. throughout my life i have drawn tattoos on myself, mainly when i was in jrhi and my younger years of highschool. but when i get bored in a class i will find myself doodling tattoo designs in the margins of my notes. why do i draw tattoos?? well, when i was younger and stupid i wanted to be a tattoo artist. not a dream i would recomend to anyone out there. but ever since that has effected my artwork. so, when i mindlessly doodle, it comes out looking like a tattoo, thats just what happens. so why the pic? a good friend of mine, while in jest suggested that i had a butterfly tatto, which automatically sent my mind into drawing a mental of something close to what you see on your screen. well, i hope this explains alot. have a nice day.

New Name

thanks to all the grief i got from my original blog title, i decided to change it. i had a little help pickin the name from a friend. hope you guys enjoy.

Found It!!!!!!!!

thats right. for all of you out there who were concerned, i found my health book. i'm so excited i dont know what to do with myself!! anyways....just thought i'd update you on that. i'm gonna go now. bi.

my blog

so, i have these dumb friends who are boycotting my blog because i wont tell them what the title means. i guess they can just keep boycotting it, cuz i'm not tellin. they all know that its an inside joke i have with my best friend, and that i cant expound on it cuz its not good for card carrying members of the male race to know. and i'm not changing the title of my blog, just because they are being dumb. i like it cuz it reminds me of my best friend, and who doesnt have inside jokes that they refuse to tell? thats just part of life. so, if you want to comment go ahead. i'm gonna go start my Christmas vacation with some quality sleep time.
