Crap. It's past two o'clock in the morning. Again. But hey, that's what summer is for, right? I just don't see the point in going to sleep in the summer. I've just spent the past two hours reading blogs, and the time really does fly. Since I really should be going to bed, here's the run down of the day:
-Woke up at 3 in the afternoon after going to bed at 3 in the a.m. and sleeping for 12 hours.
-Chilled, didn't take a shower, and ate "lunch"
-Left for VBS around five-ish. I was going to drive, buuuuttt, I didn't.
-Got to be Chadder the Chipmunk at VBS! Was bored in between shows.
-Left VBS at 8:50. On the way home, dad decides we want to see a movie.
-Argued about what movie we were going to see for 20 min. Get Smart was deemed the winner.
-Went back to Dana, my dad's fiance's, house, and ate cookies and frozen grapes.
-Saw Get Smart at 10:25.
-Laughed without caring who heard me, because only one other person other than us was there.
-The movie let out at midnight!
-Finally got home and got on Blogger! (After eating more cookies and buying shoes online.)
It was a good day. I got to sleep in, and sleeping is always good.
God is nudging me right now, pretty hard, via my sister. Earlier this summer, I went on a Mission Trip to Cherokee, NC with World Changers. God touched me there, more so than any other mission trip I have ever been on. I realized that to have a better relationship with Christ, you have to want it. Really, really want it. I do want it. I want to be a stronger Christian, to be a stronger prayer warrior, and to feel God more. I came back from World Changers fired up and sincerely ready to change my life. I still am fired up for God, and want to better my relationship with him. But I am lazy. I whine and complain, and say I'll do it tomorrow. "I'll start when summer is over. Summer get's too boring without the internet." That is a direct quote from me. Even I know that is lame, and I said it! Often, I complain to myself about feeling far from God, or not being able to feel him. I'm complaining, but I am not doing anything to grow with God! Sarah just told me I should have been reading the bible instead of being on here for 2 hours. She is right. I want to do a bible study called A Call to Die. In this devotion you have to sacrifice something. My sister and her boyfriend Elijah did it, and they sacrificed talking on the phone after 9, going on the internet, and listening to secular music. Sarah said she felt closer to God during that time than she ever has before. That is what I plan on doing. So, once I get the book, (I think it's at my mom's house) I am going to give up texting, the internet other than research and Blogger, and talking on the phone after 10 o'clock. I'm not positive those will be the things I give up, but that's pretty close. I'm not giving up Blogger because I'm going to use it to blog about what I've learned that day in my devotion. Until I get the devotion book, I am going to read my bible and maybe do snippets of another devotion. Thank you God, for sisters that keep you accountable. Please pray for me while I do my best to stay on track!

Hit me right between the eyes there Gnger Kid. I need to spend more time in devotions so I'm leaving here and goi..
Going to bed at 3AM and waking at 3PM... I remember those days..lol. Just you wait girlie...after 10PM these days, and I am mush. But, that is what summer and being out of school is all about.
You slept until 3:00 in the afternoon?????? GOOD GRIEF!!!
I will submit that discipline in relationships (with others and with God) is somewhat tied to discipline in life. If you keep a crazy schedule with no boundaries, it's tough to stay consistent with anything.
But I'm just your mother. What do I know?
Only this - that if you set a time for getting up and commit to doing your bible study then, you'll have a greater chance of being consistent.
But then again, it's summer....
ohhh did you love get smart!??! it was so funny, but sooo long! Yeah, I have been neglecting my relationship with God as well, but mine has been for much longer than the summer. May I ask what denomination you are? I'm trying to learn about the differences in the beliefs between Catholics and other Christians.
Oh... seventeen, gay, and Catholic? Yupp that's him. I think that in my neglecting God, I was also neglecting his problem. And he was praying for me to find God again. Yeahhh.
Oh, I was just thinking about movies because of get smart, but have you seen "definitely, maybe?" Because it is soooo funny and you need to see it if you haven't. I just watched it for the first time over the weekend haha. okay this is a ridiculously long comment so i'm gonna go.
