I Know It Ain't Easy

God creates us all good looking in our own way. But what does that mean exactly? What way am I good looking? What way am I good looking that the other, better looking girl isn't? Or should I say it this way... what makes her better looking?
---
I try not to let this bother me. But some things just do, you know?
---
I've decided to start writing again. A story. In the form of a movie. A script. And I'm going to finish it this time, and maybe someday, go back to my original dream of being a filmographer, and make it.
---
There's so many things that I want to do. Why can't I do them all? I'm going to.
---
I think I lost a bunch of myself on the truck. Not just stuff, you know, but identity and self knowledge. I feel like my brain was wiped out with the accident. Amnesia? I've been listening to my hippie tunes, Mamas and Papas, Velvet Underground, Jimi.... and I started to remember how I enjoy that music and the times. I've had my incense burning and I've remembered that I like the smell of hemp and grass and art. It makes me sound silly, but it's true. Where have I been? Why don't I write, draw, go picture walking, make things.... I've been too busy... trying to figure out what it is that I like to do, that I haven't had time to... do it??? I don't know. I make no sense. I need to think about it more.
---
Basically..... there's more to me then you know.
---
Do you want to take my picture.... cuz I won't remember....
---
The List
-Honesty (He has to tell me how it is, straight up - no games)
-Jesus lover (Be as in love with Jesus as I am... be willing to let God be the most important part of our relationship)
-Integrity (Very important to me. The most important thing my father taught me)
-Funny (I want to be able to still laugh even when the times are rocky)
-Spontaneous and Adventurous (Want every moment to count)
-Abstinence (I'm not willing to compromise with this one (or any for that matter... I don't care what anyone says)...)
---
Fil is coming on Friday... I can't wait :)
Andrew is coming on Sunday... I can't wait :)
---
Ahh... my emotions suck man. I hate how I don't understand them.
---
I'm going out for coffee avec mon pére. Maybe he will enlighten me on my feelings towards... everything. Ugh. I just wish Fil and Andrew were here now! And Alex and Michael. And Mudd.

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
