its been awhile

got back from haiti this morning.
beautiful.
the people, the scenery,
the richness of God,
the heat, the gnats,
the sweat, the fellowship.

i wasn't to sold on the idea of going at first.
my dad really wanted my sis and i to go at least once.
i had the summer open
and i love to travel.
and i'm so glad i went.

i miss everyone so much
and wish that i had more time
and a better knowledge of creole
to properly communicate the joy
that they have instilled in me.
i saw love and happiness in spite of sheer poverty.
i saw smiles and beautiful teeth from children with bloated,
malnourished stomachs.
i saw a woman who had given up everything,
to move to a foreign country
and be the vessel for God to move.

i saw Acts in motion,
God working,
the Holy Spirit in action
and Jesus Christ being praised.

there are too many things,
experiences,
to put up on here.
i have my journal
and that's where those thoughts will stay.

i will sleep in my bed
knowing that i will be back in haiti.
don't know when,
but i know i will be back.
and i know that God does not need me to work.
He was doing fine their without me
and He is still there now.

God be praised though these hands are wicked,
those this heart is calloused,
those these lips bring bitter waters.

may i step back
and be transparent
so that the light of Christ shines through.

what?!

okay i'm all for fashion
and i can appreciate eccentric clothing....
but some things just don't fly.
especially when you are going to church.

i don't think short skirts,
low cut dresses,
nut hugger jeans,
skimpy high shorts
or anything along those lines
should be ever worn.
they are just provocative for what reason?
and you are wearing that to go to church?
and when someone asks you in the service
what church you go to,
how will you represent it?

maybe i'm too conservative
but some things just aren't acceptable.
have some decency man.
seriously.

you aren't an object
but you are making yourself out to be

sickness

so i've been under the weather for the past two days.
and it's no fun.
camp was awesome
and i am glad that i got sick at home
and not at pine lake,
that would've been something awful.

but on to other things.....
for some odd and completely random reason
i have been sucked into the hype that is
"Jon and Kate Plus 8"
and i'm not sure why.
but seeing as they are not on good terms
i feel that i have something to say about this.
so here goes a short, tylenol daytime cold induced rant.

now while no one knows for sure what jon did,
i am in no way justifying his actions.
but.....dude kate
is such a bi...
let me stop before i get out of hand.
she isn't nice.

i've been fortunate to learn and really witness
what roles both men and women have in marriage.
and kate is way to controlling.
now i know people have character traits
and we are all different from each other.
but she is stepping her bounds.

i watched the show before this whole thing went down
and she has always been this way.
if she would give more leniency to jon
i think he wouldn't have gone to that bar and walk out with that lady.

now once again......
i'm not justifying his actions.
kate did not drive him to do this
he still had to make a decision.
but her being a control freak
didn't help.

k i'm done.

going to lay down.
and wait for this medicine kick in

jehovah

so i went up to boca last night
per the request of crud
to record a song.
i was hesistant at first
as i was mad nervous to play in front of someone
i truly respect.
but it was awesome.

the song we did
sounds so sick
and i can actually say i'm proud of it.
not in the boastful jerk way
but in the God gave me this song way.

so last night was long
and i'm already tired before i've even got to work,
but it was worth it.
