God and me

Earlier, i said i was going to get my butt kicked spiritually. Yeah, well it happened, even though I thought I was safely past it. Except it wasn't Satan who kicked me, it was God. Ouch, not fun. He kicks pretty darn hard. It started last weekend actually and continued until Tuesday. It was just one thing after another, piling up and smacking me where I least expected it. Which was funny because I knew the whole time it was coming, but God always wins in mind games. He can tell you something is coming and you think you're prepared, but He whomps you with it anyway. It was strange how even though I knew it was God throwing that stuff at me, I loved Him even more and more each time I got hit. He broke me in half. But now his glory is so apparent to me, I have been crying every time I sing a worship song. No, I am not a wus, God is just so huge and awesome and when He grinds you into powder, you feel it. So that was my story. And now that it is over, I don't want to go back to normal again. I want to be high on God again. I will keep pursuing Him and hope for another lesson.

Battle of the Bands

As many people know(i assume they do because my friend who goes to Littleton knew about it before me and it is at my own church and I am in the darn thing) there is going to be a battle of the bands at my church. The last one was way cool, and this one should be better. Last time, my band had played with me in it for about a month before we had to take the stage. This time, however, it has been about a year and we have other new people and we pretty much rock everyone else's face off. Actually I don't know that for a fact but I feel really cool when I say it. The point is that everyone who reads this should come and see us play on May 7th. I will have tickets later this week and I have to sell them at school too. So, to anyone who reads this, do not hesitate to ask for a $5 ticket from me to see my band, Blue Sparrow.

happy earth day.... i guess

thanks for everyone's prayer. it helped mucho. satan tried to kick my butt and failed miserably. haha. i am undefeatable because God said so, at least for now. but happy earth day. what is earth day? why don't we have a moon day or a saturn day? does anyone else share my point of view about the idiocy of acknowledging mother earth? i hope so because a lot of people would bite my head if they read this. it doesn't seem like earth day is very compliant with God's command to cultivate the earth and subdue it right after noah got off the ark.

Prayer please

Life has been quite hectic in the past week. However, my walk with God has never seemed to have such energy as it has recently. Obviously that is a good thing, but it also means that I am going to get my butt kicked by something really soon. It always happens that way. This weekend, I had to confront a couple of friends on drinking. The first was easy and I knew it would be, but the second wasn't as much so. He procceeded to tell me that he could find nothing in scripture that told him he shouldn't drink, as long as he didn't get drunk. After a discussion, he changed his opinion that he had held to all his life. Wow, God rocks. There is some other stuff that needs prayer, though; like me. Like I got upgraded at church and am going to play the bass in the big service in front of two thousand people. It is only for two weeks. God has used me well in other ways too this past week, and Satan won't be happy. He's already thrown some curve balls at me. So if you could, remember me when you are praying. I would appreciate it.

So to end on a less serious note, here is a story. During the blizzard last week, me and a couple friends went walking in the open space near our houses. There is a creek in it, and we found a "cliff" overhanging the creek. Being boys, we wanted to see how far we could hang down without falling in. during a blizzard, don't ask why because I don't know, it was just fun. so I was the anchor and one of my friends grabbed onto my legs and the other grabbed onto his legs and I slowly lowered them down until the last guy wasn't hanging onto anything except the other guy, who was hanging only onto me. Suddenly, he looks at me and says, "Nathan, it was nice being your friend," and he procceeds to let go. they both tumble into the frozen creek and i am sitting there cracking up because I am sitting in a blizzard and they are sitting in an iced creek. Actually, those two friends need prayer as much as I do, so maybe remember them too. Thanks friends.

finally an update

sorry i didn't write anything for an incredibly long time. nothing really happened unless i am just stupid. i guess me and a couple of friends have started another band that is not really a band. we just come to my house and play together whenever we feel like it. its a joke really, but we have a cool name: Candice. connor is getting vindicated today. he also made me write that. i have a good question. if you ask a girl to prom, is right for her to answer you like two days later? i don't know, it seems like a sticky situation.

hooray

i convinced my parents to let go blogging at school. so it is okay. i can still write stuff. hooray!

three weeks?!

so, when jose was here, i happened to give him a ride. i won't explain why because it will take a long time. anyway, my parents were not the happiest folks in the world when i told them. as a result, i cannot update or post comments on any blogs for three weeks. hooray! i negotiating with my dad, the reasonable one, to see if i can update at school sometimes. like that will actually happen. anyway, sorry friends. don't forget about my blog. i still might pull off school time.

title?

back in school today. wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. just the morning was extremely boring. i had no friends during my off hour since poor connor is sick. pray for him. i have bruises up and down my arm also. you know who you are, bad person. i washed my car and it looks brand spankin new. except its 22 years old, but beyond that, it is new. my white-wall tires are actually white now. i will laugh at anyone who actually knows what white-wall tires are. yes, i do know what they are. on sunday, i cut a guy off in the parking lot in the mall. it was an accident and actually both our faults. he didn't see it that way though. while i was walking into the mall, he decides to rough me up a little. it wasn't as bad as it sounds, and i wasn't scared. why should i be? connor was right there, he would protect me. so that is my update about nothing really.
