| i call ya kids 'cause that's what you are... baby goats. all the cool pastors have informed me that xanga is so last year, and true, suave social networking innovators are making their mark on the world at blogspot.com... being helplessly subject to the whims of culture, popularity, and the occasional bandwagon, i have moved all my crap to http://www.tobianthes.blogspot.com... actually i read some of my old posts here and they all either scare me or make me angry, so i'm pretending i've matured well beyond that and starting over ::nod:: turning a new leaf, buying a new camel, whatever. yeah, so go read, comment and pretend like you care! //cp "she always weighed me down, but afraid i might need her i dragged her around" good bye xanga. i might be back if i want to type weird things that i don't want people to read ::nod:: | | |
| i don't want to go home :\ as i enter my last semester of college, i will put my head down and charge, and it will pass like a vapor... i hope i'm ready for marriage and morgantown. they're both quite scary, really. i've got a lot of work to do IN my life in the oncoming months... i'm quite proficient at working ON my life, but the actual DOing part is a bit different. God is very, very good. | | |
| i am amazed at the potential lost by people giving up on dreams and settling for lesser things. my brother and i have been reminiscing of all the friends, students, and acquantances we've had throughout the years and what wonderful, vibrant people they were. how so many of them are stuck in a rut, feel they have no way out... the hardest part about youth ministry, a crushing, devestating aspect, is seeing all of the foregone potential. i have never met a kid that did not have fire in his soul, and dreams and talents that could take them farther than they can imagine in life. and then something happens--abuse, girlfriend break up, bad report card--and they push aside all dreams and focus on their failure. for the rest of their life. it breaks my heart, really. there are so many songs you've yet to sing that you haven't even heard there are so many words you've yet to speak that you haven't even learned never cease to dream...
for through our dreams He speaks...
and when He speaks this whole world seems a little more like home... | | |
| fear of man. what a difficult sin to overcome. i like to feel valued by others. i like to feel needed. i like to feel affirmed. by default, we all base our view of ourselves on how the three closest people in our lives see us. i want to see myself the way God sees me. i want to serve and give to others, not take from them. i want to share my weaknesses without fear. what an amazing week this has been. .././.chris pay no attention to me
