The One With Day 5
Current Mood: 
Current Music: "Open Up Your Eyes" by Jeremy Camp found directly on the right hand side of your screen in the Top 10 music player!
So, today was a really good day! Nothing shocking to report, but we all know that shock-value does not rank highly on his list of priorities. I am at my parents house in Ovilla for the weekend and it's kinda nice. I didn't bring an ounce of homework, so I get to read for a change! Yeah for a small break!
I spent the entire afternoon sailing on my dad's boat with some of the other choir sponsors and a couple of their friends from church. You should be proud of me..I am proud of me. I spent two hours on a small boat with a person that I really do not like at all. And you know what? It was fine. Are you noticing a trend in the experiment so far? No? Well, let me fill you in. It seems to me that God is spending a lot of energy working on my relationships with other people. For those of you who do not know me, let me tell you a little about myself. As a rule, I am not a people person. I have my little group of friends (You'll find their names on the right side of the screen :-), but it takes me a LONG time to warm up to someone new. I am just not the trusting type. In fact, I have always been a little bit of a loner. I have no problem with staying holed up in my house for an entire weekend without leaving once. I always knew that I needed only myself to survive. I think that one of the biggest things God is teaching me is that that is not true. He designed us to be social beings and to draw fulfillment from those around us. He's been bringing people into my life lately for his own purposes. In some cases, it has just been to give me someone to hang out with. In others, he has given me the opportunity to revive relationships that I let fade. And he has shown me that his love encompasses all...without exception. Mine should as well.I have to admit that I have spent no small amount of time trying to extrapolate God's grand design in this experiment. I know that I shouldn't because I am most likely wrong and there is no way I could ever comprehend the plans of God, but I can't help myself. So, here are the things I have noticed thus far...
1. He is bringing me closer to Him and moving me into the paths he has for me.
2. God is teaching me about relationships with others and helping me trust those he places in my life.
3. He moved me past a fruitless obsession and helped me realize the kind of girl he has in mind for me.
You can draw your own conclusions. Whatever He has planned...I am excited!

I love your excitment. I am excited to check your blog every evening and see what exciting thing God has done in your life each day. It is so neat to watch and see they ways that God is moving in your life. Reading today made me feel very honoured to be counted as one of the people in your small group of friends. It constantly blows me away, that we stumbled across each other, and have become friends, yet have still never met! I know that God caused us to bump into each other for a reason. It's crazy to me how God works! Anyway, I'm very excited for you! (sorry, I know this is a book, not a comment!!)

Hey, I found your blog by accident..."SURPRISE". Just learning how to use this blog stuff. Very cool site!Did you create it? At top of page the site says Jason, and at this post it says Jim. Which is it? I'm wanting to learn from younger people how to use this medium. How did I find your excellent blog? I was reading about "Surprise ME GOD!" experiment after hearing about it on Coast to Coast AM where the author told about the death of Pastor Kyle Lake. Very sorry for all your loss. I have a friend, Ray Hirst who is 80 and his grandson Steven Cutbirth attends Baylor, and Ray told me that Steven was there to witness this...so I told our pastor and sound crew to check out our church's sound system wiring. Hopefully 1000's of other churches are doing the same. We are also praying for real God comfort to sustain y'all... (I lived in Austin, TX doing a youth pastor internship when I was 22.
How do I get back to your site if I want to check back with you... If you could email me back with your blog address, I would appreciate it. If you designed this blog site I would really like to talk to you about working on a project with me. I'm 49 years old with kids in their mid 20's...I'm not a computer head at all. ha!

ePS: When you have a minute...you might like to check out our new Internet Music Store, "SONIC-WAVE Downloads. Our URL is >>> www.burnlounge.com/sonic <<<< (This is the project I would like to talk to you about.) We are in Beta testing right now, but we already have over 1M tracs and soon to have ringtones, movies, games, etc. Were building the largest Digital Content Library on the NET. It's all legal downloads, any of them for $0.99 just like iTunes. EXCEPT iTunes won't allow you to set up your own store,...or pay you to help promote your favorite band's to your friends. "Stop Pirating and Start Profitting."
We are building a team of music promoters to help new artists get their music digitized and placed on this site. IF you know of any really good local bands in Waco. Get back to me!
Inspirational is my favorite Genre. I featured David Crowder Band as one of my favorite albums. I play harmonica in our worship band...and we're going to see David Crowder Band in Olathe, KS next week.
Watch the commercial at the bottom of my home page...it is really hot. :-)
