want vs. do
desire vs. action
ever wonder why its so much harder to do something than to think about doing it?
i mean, your just sitting there, nothing else to do, and u know wut u should do, and you want to do it...but you don't....Y NOT??
i went to waterski camp this weekend...ironic really, because we don't waterski, mainly we wakeboard, innertube, sunbathe, and just generally be on the water...but that's not even half of the fun because there are so many awesome people there that u can't help but be engulfed in some amazing conversation with someone you love! (and i'm not talking romance, i'm talking deep love that you don't find many places) and if ur not talking to someone great you're getting fed God's word down the throat by pat, and he's just great too! i mean, i can't think of very many places i'd rather be...ur sleeping on the ground, so sore you can barely walk, dirty all day and nite....SO MUCH FUN! lol
the only thing was i kept thinking about how poor my faith has been lately...it seems i keep spiraling downwards more and more...it's not that i'm doing anything horrible it's just i haven't been diving into the word much and it's like, eventually you start to loose touch and u realize ur trying to find ur own answers and ur not looking to God to help you out...THATS where i go wrong, i'm totally selfish, i'm always looking for the answers w/in myself instead of asking God, and seriously, it's been months since i just sat down and read....that makes me so mad, and yet, i'll sit here on this computer for hours, not getting up and just doing it...i could so easily, it's right there...
but i figure, there's always time to start...and rite now, i did...
the Lord worx in misterious ways he does, it's like the second you go to find something, he shows it to you, right there, clear as day, exactly what you needed...thank you God!! changedfish

Hey Melanie its eric
uh i was reading this post you put up and im bothered. Why is it selfish for you to be thinking for yourself, i mean, im sure your an avid believer in god, but just cause your being independent and looking within yourself for answers, makes you weak?
that doesnt make sense to me. I think that we as human beings are strong enough to rely on themselves for guidance, not some trivial force (thats the athiest talking) anyways, i dig these posts, keep up the work
Eric Amantite-- i love melanie

sometimes finding answers is really about going to the right source...when we as followers of christ (thats the Christian talking)look to the world for answers...we are looking at something flawed...the world is so full of sin that everything that might have been good is ruined by sins. This looks like a negative way to view the world, but i mean that if its not Holy..aka from God..its from "the world".
Anyways its like trying to drink the purest water from a mountain spring but finding a thin layer of oil over the top of it. No matter how hard you try and find that truth...the pure water, it will be tainted by the oil...so i guess what im trying to say is we are flawed too and if we try to answer ourselves...we get a mouthful of oil.

They will see us waving from such great hieghts,
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks better from far away,
Come down now, but we'll stay.
Love ya Melz

P.s. Mel, I have to agree with both Eric and that other person. You know me, always the neutral party. (and that was me talking, sorry, no religion for me)
