hungry?
Hello hello hello. This is the day of my recollecting all that has happened for a while without reflection or insight, for those things don't matter, right? Doesn't matter if I choose to do those or not those, for recollecting pretty much IS reflection, and reflect can lead to insight. There will probably be in this what I said there wouldn't be, but because these are my uncensored thoughts. Which begins now.
So, Friday I went up to the 'Live the difference' thing, and it seemed pretty cool. Filled. That's what they said there theme was. Okay. So this weirdo named Steve went up and talked. Spoke? I danno. Anyway, he was pretty funny. Talked of being filled with trust, not skipping the process and such. You know what? I think I'll summarize it for you, because there weren't many people there, and I like summarizing sometimes, like now.
So, he was A-D-D and such, but that's okay. Eventually, he got to his topic. He told how his son had a bed wetting problem, and how they tried to help him overcome this obstacle. Got him a superb toy of sweetness. If you are of that age. With those fancy pull ups with stars on them, they said that if he still had stars on his pull up in the morning, he could have the supreme toy of coolness. But it was quite the work to hold it in for the night for this young child, so he tricked them by changing his pull up, and tey found out, blah blah blah. The story pretty much covers his point. We want things, like money and power and such, but there's a process to get there. You follow it out, and it's better. Jump the gun, it gets complicated and crappy. So why do we jump the gun? Because we're scared it won't be there when we finally get through the process. We don't trust the system. We don't trust the guy up top. We can trust God to do what he said. If we trust him, crappy times may still come, but it'll be better. Follow the process. At least, that's pretty much what he said.
Now, I don't know if it was he or Ira would said this next part, but there was mention of needing to be hungry to be filled. A verse in the Bible somewhere brought out that point. Maybe it WAS Steve then. Remember this as I tell you of the Saturday following.
I had to be at musical theatre by nine, so naturally I go do other things as to become late. Oops. But one of those many other things were stopping off at Safeway to pick up a sandwich built for giants. A foot long, a third of a foot wide, width equal to height, 4 kinds of meats, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and some kinda sauce stuff. All for the low price of 10 dollars. 9 if you're a Safeway club member. Those measurements I gave may not be correct. So I aquired this mamoth sandwich (custom made for me too. They didn't have any made, so I waited ten minutes, the made one up, freshly baked bread and everything. Thus why I was late) And then went to musical theatre. Missed nothing. Yeah yeah. So that goes on, and everybody loves this huge sandwich that I valiently attempted to consume. Called a Lumberjack sandwich by the way. So, two thirds of it were gone. And practice of the play ended at 2. 9-2. Great saturday morning, eh? So, I left. Rather thirsty now, I started drinking lots. Some water from a water fountain, a sobe, a glass of water from Smitty's, a few juice boxes...till I was no longer thirsty. By this time, we're in Colwood. Go to DQ, eat some chicken parts. even though I'm not really hungry. But I know that soon I'll be without a parent paying for my meals, so I take advantage of the free food. 'Bout an hour later, Boston pizza. Some chicken fingers and three iced teas later, we leave. Then, to the church again, Ira spoke. About...what we could be filled with. 'Cuz what you're filled with drives you. The biggest thing he said that I remember though is 'If your buddy ever said to you'Hey, you wanna go do debauchery?' say no, 'cuz he's pretty much asking 'Hey, you wanna go ruin your life?' Cuz debauchery equals Ruin your life' Something like that. And there were more goodies after. Which I took part in devouring. Like the pineapple. Cuz SOMEONE wouldn't eat it. Wierd Delbert.... Now, for the majority, I wasn't especially hungry, but I ate anyways.
This next day, my insides were turned to mush and I didn't feel like eating anything. Ever again. But biology says I must still eat. Drawing distant parellels, I suppose it works on not physical food too. If you don't feel hungry, you won't get filled. That doesn't mean that if you aren't hungry that you are filled, it just means you need to be hungry to get refilled. Maybe I'm trying to force something that won't happen because I'm not truely hungry yet. That's a shame.
So so so, this was long and fun like, for me anyways. Things can only get more fun right? If that means more crazy stuff all happening at the same time like school, youth, Oklahoma, new youth pastor, and stuff that I prolly don't even know about but should and will make things crazier, then I'm having lots of fun.
MENTAL NOTE: call Rick. Then Sarah.

So, you saying that god was showin u stuff about bein hungry for him through your lumberjack sandwhich? because that's freakin cool! haha, i'm so stoked to even think that god would choose such a radical form of communication. that's deffinitely a passion of mine; eating. if only god would speak to me more like that :P
ps. pinneaple = debauchery
Now when you said the next day that you weren't feeling good, I assumed it was the sandwich - which was an ambitious meal to start with, but with the rest... You're a bottomless pit!
I'm nothing compared to that delbert...
