a little bob dylan for the soul....

What is it about Bob dylan that just reminds me that we are all humans?
Humans can and will hurt you...as a person. and, i suppose, i could hurt people, without really knowing it. like, not on purpose...but not knowing that i've caused somebody pain. but. it kinda sucks when you know that you've been forgotten. but, i'm moving on...tangled up in blue....moving on, truckin'. keep on keepin' on.

I lost my glasses that i got while i was in china...the ones that looked cool on me. dang it. i took brittany bear for a walk downtown, just groovin' and i put my glasses on my necklace...like to hold them- and tried to find them, but they were NO where. i think somebody took em' when they saw them on the ground or something. i couldn't find em'. dang it.
Oh flippin' well. So is life.
maybe i'll get cooler ones.
but, even still- life is more than glasses- right? life is more than the things around us...

I'm gonna go on a hike up in the U.P. on the 1st-3rd, and it'll be awesome. like a really good reflective time with the Lord. and i hope i get some sorta "break-through" with life...and find out who i am. who i really am.
gosh. that's kinda chilling. Do i really wanna find out who i am?? will i be frightened with the hidden, lurking, cob-webb-ish, truths that i find? i'm pretty sure that i'll be fine in the end of it all, but the process is what really hurts the most.

As for the hike- it will be the "Chapel Falls Loop" up around the Pictured rocks..it'll be awesome. i'm checking the weather and everything as I type in here and checking with the trail itself. Like, i don't know if i should begin with Munising OR the Grand Maris side (which will be the closer side). But either way i hope it'll be a good hike. But i think it might rain. dang.

I just downloaded a whole buncha jimi hendrix songs and some bob dylan songs. good stuff.
and i think i'll go take some picts. soon. cuz i've been meaning to. i have a nice camera. but, ya see- i always end up with no pics. of myself, cuz nobody else takes good pics. like i do. but actually. i should ask megan if she wants to go take some pictures with me sometime. that would be fun.

I took a nap on the trampoline today, waiting for people to give me a call. but people didn't. so, i was laying there...and my cute little Brittany bear wanted to get up there with me- so, i helped her up and we took a nap together on the trampoline. it was really relaxing. very calm and peaceful...with the wind and the birds and the weather all nice.

i think i'm gonna go wander now.
ciao

Israel and Yerushyalim (jerusalem)

HOLY LLAMA! I am totally stoked! Well-- about Israel...and hopefully being able to go there. I think God is calling me back...and well, to be apart of this ministry called Succat Hallel (jerusalempraise.org)? i think. and this guy that runs this ministry spoke at our church-- like last sunday..and i just got sooo pumped up. Like, how many examples of the messiah were given in the Old Testament, yet God's own people can't see it. Ohhhhh man. I sooo wanna go....Anyways. they are having this "internship" program- for like 3 months, April till July-ish..and i would be staying through the conference that will be going on- it's called One Thing (taken after Psalm 27) and there's gonna be awesome prophetic speakers showing up there and worship leaders from all over...ohhhh mannnn...it's gonna rock the roof off of the Old City...oh, wait a minute, THERE IS NO ROOF! hahahha. maybe somebody else already rocked the roof off!
Anyways. I'm not gonna do this on my own strength. Cuz if it's seriously HIM calling me, HE will be the one that "opens doors and closes" them--- meaning He will supernaturally create a way over there, when there was NO way in the physical realm. Yes. But i will keep giving this desire to God, and see what He does. And I've already told P.Mike about it..and He seems to like trust this calling in me.

And there was this prophecy on the Elijah List website..that my friend told me i just HAD to read...it's title went something like this-- "God is calling the Esthers back into Jerusalem, for "Such a time as this"..."
and i swear my heart stopped beating for like a split second.
here's the website for that article if ya wanna read it- http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/4395

I'm sooo excited. So, i'll be seriously praying about that. Ever since leaving Israel, i've known that i'll go back..some day. Maybe it's time. For such a time as this.

I think i'm gonna go for a run/walk here pretty soon. on my handy-dandy tread mill. gosh i haven't gone in like 4 days.
ugh. feeling lazy.
Friday night worship/prayer is tonight and it's gonna rock! i'm sooo excited!

So- after sunday...(which was awesome, cuz we had speakers from Israel)- I am totally stoked about NEXT summer.
there will be a "gathering" in Jerusalem- geting together to be onfire for Jesus and there will be speakers, worship and intercession for Israel. this is awesome. i think this will be the biggest thing that would've happened in Israel...beside Israel finally being in Jewish hands again after the war.- and it's gonna ROCK THE HOUSE IN HEAVEN! MAN! i'm totally stoked.
I AM GONNA GO. THERE'S SO doubt in my mind. i've got such a burning in my soul to be there...to be with Israel...to hear the speakers...to be apart of that radical revolution of Love-
Anyways. i'll be saving up for that..while i'm in school.
this will be my 2nd time in Israel. and it'll rock...
even more so.

Other than that...school is starting again in like 2 weeks. it'll be good. finally geting through the mud.
finally graduating by the end of the year.
For some reason, i wanna watch that "Croutching Tiger hidden dragon" movie...i always laugh it up by myself...cuz i pronounce the movie title wrong- i say: "Croutching Tiger, Hidden Liger"...cuz it rhyms...i'm silly like that..and nobody else would laugh. so i'd be standing there by myself...laughing.
heheheheh.
i'm laughing just thinking about it.

So, i'm gonna split now.
i'm gonna look up how to adjust your own back. cuz the middle part of my back has been seriously weird lately. for a while actually.
so ciao for now.

Ok- so, i had a weird dream...that i pulled into a gas station. and it was going to be the last gas station open...becuz gas was becoming obsolete. and there would be no gas for cars. So, this one pump that i was using was just pumping fizzy water into my tank...which was useless ofcourse. so i changed over to a different pump- and my tank took 50 dollars and STILL wasnt' full! and that's not normal. like, it really only takes maybe 40 bucks to fill my tank now. But when i went to go pay inside...this girl, who could BARELY speak english was like telling me that i owed 80 bucks or something.. And i was like, Heck no! I do NOT! And i TRIED to tell her that the gas on that one was pumping out water...and she was like NOT understanding me at ALL...and i tried to get another person to tell her what i meant, and like they all COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH! and i couldn't get what i was trying to tell them across...and there were tons of people just running around in there. becuz the gas station was closing and people were going crazy or something.
But it was freaky.
Like, it makes me wanna sell my car, just to beat the rush. i mean becuz like all these are comiing to pass and stuff.
like, what IF we STOP using gas...like the consequences are really BIG...and like people wouln't be able to use any of their cars...holy crap. i could only imagine.

So, my friend Brianna is like re-connecting with the Lord and it's WAY awesome becuz she's already being poured out as an offering to the Lord- like telling her own best friend about Jesus and salvation and like Holy Spirit stuff...it's awesome.
The day of the Lord is near. and it's going to be awesome.
i'm excited.

Hey ya'll.
I've decided if I were given like the "chance" to drag race I would. I would totally bring it on. i would love to. maybe get my little toyota suped up. make it a sweet ride. i wouldn't know how to do that though.
anyways. i've wanted to make a shirt that says: "I like to speed" on the front and then "Drag Rice anyone?" on the back. that would rock.
AND another thing i would do if i had some fatty cash-- I would by a bow.
I actually really DO wanna do this... for real. I wanna by a Recurve Bow. a nice one, made outta wood. that would be nice.
I just want it to bow practice. I know how many pounds i can pull on the line- about 30. and then i might want a bow around 50 inches or so long. that would be good.
these are frivilous things though. things that i would want, just out of my desire for them...not really needing them.
So, it's not like i'll lose sleep over not having these things.

what else? things are well right now. I've been trying to go running- and kinda like building my mile to below 10 mins. which i think that's what i was at last time.
so, ciao for now.
