50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: 4-6

I'm back at this again cause as simple as it is, answering these questions is pretty fun as well as thought provoking.


4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Funny that I'm answering this question in a blog where I feel as though I say plenty.  . 
This is an area where I want to change.  I don't think I say exponentially more than I do but the ratio probably isn't equal.  I honestly think this is and area that the Lord is helping me change in.  I think He is teaching me to have a more gentle heart in confronting people and to have a more quiet and still heart in spending time with him.  To become a person of action in response to understanding and knowing truth- not just talking about it.  So to answer the question, if the world ended right now, I probably have said more than I've done.  That's just from my own personal perspective though and what I see in myself isn't always the way it really is.  But that's only so far and I don't just want to just be a hearer (or speaker) of the word but a doer of the word.  


5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
So. . . I wouldn't change anything about the world. Period. Because if something needed changed, I would let God do it.  He's much wiser than me anyway, along with being omniscient.  If I WERE in the business of changing things about the world though, I wouldn't really have any idea where to start.  So maybe this is sort of cheating but I don't have too much of an answer to this question.  At least not for now anyway.


6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
I like how this question is worded.  Work that would make me happy often would probably be any kind where I can  interact with and help people.  Probably a job where I could spend time with friends and have the chance to make new ones while reaching out to people that need it.  Or caring for people. I can't wait to be a mom and I think that job will make me very happy someday.  
To set the oppressed free and administer justice and see some sort of gratification for my work would be awesome I think.  Any job I do have though would make me happy if I know that it's bringing glory to God- which can be a great many jobs.  I don't have any particular ones in mind besides that already mentioned.

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Thankful Thursday: Sweet heart hurts.

I was going to say "Happy Thursday to you!"  And if you're having a happy Thursday, good for you.  In the sense of wishing someone a happy day I suppose I do wish you that.  However,  I do not mean that I feel happy on this Thursday. So maybe more like "Thoughtful and introspective Thursday!" Doesn't sound as nice as "Happy Thursday" but that's okay. I'm not particularly happy on this Thursday and for fear of tempting you to judge whether or not my reason for not being happy is legitimate or not (some people feel like they have that position, you know) I won't go into the details of why. I will say that I miss somebody today.  More than just one; I miss him and his whole family. Without going into more detail on that, I'll tell you that my heart hurts today.  The why is irrelevant for the sake of what I'm trying to say; but it does hurt. There are at least two kinds of heart hurts I think: ( There is good news though beca...

What Really Matters

  Monday, October 22, 2012:  The date that I originally put this picture in a draft and saved it with the title "It's for real." I thought I was going to a place called the International House of Prayer in Kansas City for an internship.  I thought it was for real. I could barely believe it myself because I was planning to do something very far outside of my comfort zone, but it was for real.    I was going to be moving away from my family, hometown, most of my friends, and the familiarity of what I've spent the last 7 years knowing life to be. I'm not writing this post to tell the story of what happened or why in March, I'm still here, living with my family in my hometown with most of my friends and that familiarity still surrounding me. While I could explain the mental process of my decision not to go, I cannot tell you why I'm here instead of there right now, because even I don't know. I know that in c...
