So its been two weeks since I last added something to my supposed to be weekly blog. The last week has been crazy so I haven't had the chance to say anything. Over the last few weeks I've been thinking about the future and where I'm supposed to go and what I'm supposed to do. It's the number one thing that is constantly on my mind. I found an old C.D. by the O.C. Supertones the other day when I was looking for some music to have in my car. The title track of the c.d. is Faith of a Child. The last line of the first verse says, "I still don't know what my time in this world is about". Thinking on that I realized that is exactly where I stand in this thought of where does God want me to go. The chorus continues on to say, " I still don't have an answer, but not because I haven't tried, I still have the heart of a seeker, but I need the faith of a child." These lines struck me right in the heart, because I realized I've been trying so hard to find where God wants me but I haven't had the faith of a child and put that into Gods hands to trust him. Trust is to surrender myself to your will, is another line from the song. I've realized that I must still seek God but I need to put my trust and faith in him too and things will turn out the way he has planned. "For I know the plans I have made for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and A FUTURE." Jeremiah 29:11 He makes the promise to give us a future and I now trust and have faith that he will.

First blog

So this is my first blog...i found this place via my dad...im going to use this blog to express feelings and thoughts i have throughout the week...hopefully ill update it weekly...i hope what i say challenges you and doesnt offend you...maybe thats the same thing.

So this week I began thinking about who David really is. This is a question every person must ask themselves at some point in their life. In order to learn who I am, I started a blog to myself that is saved where only I can see it. In this blog I am completely honest about what I am thinking. In a couple of months I will look back on this to see who I am. In thinking about this idea of who am I, I began to think on what is it that I'm looking for. In this the question, What is it that people are going to remember me for?, In thinking I realized that people remember you for what you do, how kind you are to people, and how much you helped the world. As I began to focus on that the idea that I have been taught all my life popped into my head, What you do is based on Who you are, This is often switched around by the world, they say Who you are is based on What you do. The world has it all wrong, In the bible it talks about Faith and Works, In James 2:20 the author of James says that Faith without works is dead. This shows the person who has faith and is a Christian, that who they are, must by nature do something to show that that is who they are. As I thought about it the idea that is described has another side, the side i call works without faith. This is the selfish look at me works, In church, we recently talked about this side. We talked about how the pharisees would go out on a street corner and pray loudly and in a way to show themselves off. If people act on who they really on then How can we really tell who they really are. We can't. Up until this year I had trouble with this idea. What I have come to realize is its not our place to see who people really are and what the condition of their hearts are. This year I have witnessed things that I am still unsure of but I have realized the only thing we need to concern ourselves with is the condition of our heart. So coming all the way around to my first point Who am I really?, that is for you to figure out, nobody but God can reveal this to you. As for me I'm praying that God will help me be at peace with this idea of who I am because I know that he will eventually show me. I just must examine my heart everyday and push towards the eternal goal.

I hope I'm not too scatterbrained here...If I dont make sense just ask me about something and I'll try to explain what I meant...hopefully I'll get better as I do this more
