my day was extraordinarily ordinary It was not particularly awesome day, but it was, just for the sheer fact that I choose to enjoy it. To do things that were awesome, and were accomplishing my goals. I had a certain amount of tasks to do and then I played and worked at being good athletically. I really enjoyed kicking and working out, and shooting my bow and playing basketball. I wish I had other people to do it with me sometimes, but it was nice.
Ps-I was going to play tennis, but I sneak into the park without paying the fee, and the park ranger was right next to the courts...so i decided against it. Its crazy that they want you to pay $6 for a day parking pass. Sigh.
My uncle had to leave today. That was kinda sad. I really enjoyed him being here. Its really nice to get to know my family as an adult. They can be a little more uncensored now, and a little bit more real about their lives. Its pretty awesome.
I prayed for quite a few things today. It was amazing how many were answered almost immediately. Even now I fight them off and try to take away the role God had in them, but it was kinda amazing to see. Right as I run out of money to spend with many things to buy, I got my last paycheck from Cherry on top. pretty awesome. and the park was open after I prayed for it to be (it usually isn't). I also just started praying, and it was amazing how many things i have going on in my life, or in the lives around me. I trust those prayers will be answered too. Good day for prayer.
I'm excited for tomorrow.

Same ol'-Same ol'
Vonnegut wrote a story called "Timequake" in which people were forced to repeat the last ten years of their life. They know what was going to happen, but they let it happen anyway. It keeps going through in a boring replay. And there was nothing to do to stop it. And when the Timequake ends, people don't know what to do since they no longer have to watch their lives.
Sometimes I feel like that in my life. I make the same mistakes over and over. Don't like the things I do, but the moment I'm freed from them, I don't know what else to do, so I go right back into them. It feels kinda hopeless sometimes. Actually specific situations, all the time.
I want to pray against them. But there is a reason I hold on to them. I'm not willing to let God interact in those situation. I still want to own those things.
Sometimes I don't know how I can be willing to offer things to God. I mean, I know in theory, but i don't know practically. Or I'm not willing to.
Well, my summer is running short really fast. I can see the end coming up way too soon. Which means I've gotta start knocking out some of my goals pretty quick here.
That will count as my blog for tonight...

I've been getting behind...
So, I need to start writing, reading, working out, etc. This is a reminder for me. I'll just start typing to destress at the end of my day. Hopefully I'll be able to start dragging myself out of bed early for a run. We'll see about that. Pray for consistency, and to break out of oldness and embrace the new wineskin.
I had a great conversation the other day through AIM. Probably one of the best ever despite the AIM. Oh well. Will discuss in greater detail later. My fam is here, and we're going to go visit more fam.
