approximately 64 days
till englandtown
what is going on.
this is going by so fast :) sometimes I don’t know if I’m ready and I wanna read all these books and make sure I know American politics more so I don’t sound like an idiot when I talk about my country and read Harry Potter but you know? I’d much rather immerse myself and learn all there is to learn instead of stereotyping and preparing myself from all walks of offense. I want to be tested, and I want to learn.. I just don’t want to be thought ignorant. It’s weird how much other countries know about us and we have no idea about them, we don’t have a clue. But I guess they have a bunch of smaller countries around their parameters that would be about the size of all the states we’re surrounded by..and I think I know a pretty decent amount of information about the states surrounding me ………………..this is just what I tell myself to feel better :). No, I wish I had the motivation to learn more about my country.
ill work on that.
anyway. I’ve been steadily prayin for England everyday pretty much since I received word I was going. A city or town a day, and I’m gettin towards the middle from the border. I feel something so strong about this trip. I have no idea why I would be chosen alongside the others that would have been perfect for it, grades wise and socially wise, but I was, and I only know its by Gods grace that I was. Its just so crazy. I did the math of the days I’d be staying the other day, and I’m pretty sure, if everything works out right, I will be there exactly 99 days. what is that.
new thought
I had a really long amazing talk with a good friend in the park the other day. It was good to have such a real conversation.it was such a sweet sort of sadness surrounding it. so appropriate it was almost good to feel if not for the melancholy conversation. But something they said was that they think Christianity might be just another era dying out. Its really a sad thought. An especially insulting one. to think thats the way its looked upon at times, as a fad. Revolting, I’d say..to think that something that takes over so many peoples lives was just a popular demand at the time, a request for a certain type of life, and now that that sort of life is over it will pass, just as history does.
If God didnt say ” I am the same yesterday, today, and forever” i would be unsettled in my stomach. Not from doubt, just from sadness that anyone could think that. Perhaps they were talking about the laws or the religion found in Christianity itself. Cause if thats so, I would agree. Theres so many times when its so much more comfortable to follow a law, a precept, or a convenience rather than have a relationship with Jesus. But that sort of atttitude will be the downfall of us all (yay yay yay yay yay-yay. ya-ya ya ya yay)
k
pretty sure no one can take me seriously
but i did just change like 4 moods and im not even close to prego
im goin though
gettin slap-happy
Lord I just pray that you bring our hearts captive into the obedience of your word. Casting down every evil imagination and every high thing that exalts itself against the Word of God.
