Dear Journal,
I think I know what God wants me to do at this point in time: He wants me to get ready for my future home in heaven by doing good works and not laying up treasures (and my heart) on earth. First, I've read "The Life God Rewards for Teens", which basically explains the things I was just talking about, about what to look ahead to, and why, and a little how. I also read last night in 1st Corinthians 7, and verses 29-31 hit me, and it was no coincididence that it did. The verse states "What I mean, brothers, is that the times is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy,as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who us the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away." So, I should be thinking of what I'm doing here (serving the LORD with my gifts that He gave me, obeying Him each day, leading people to Christ, etc.). I haven't really lead anyone to Christ (that I know of), but I am trying to serve him and obey Him. I want to try going on a missions trip either here or somewhere else, but it's easier said than done. God doesn't want people to earn their way to Heaven, but if you read further, it says that God rewards people according to their works. I hope that I take this step carefully and thoughtfully and not forget ever to serve Him. I hope that what He's teaching me now could lead to a huge lifechange, since if you look at this earth and say that you don't have much time here (this earth is like a dot that is on the beginning of a line that lasts for eternity; my time here isn't that long). If I look at my time here on earth and look at my life from a heavenly point of view, will my actions change? If so how much? If not why?

Dear Journal,
It has been several months since I've written last, but I have been writing more on the forums of wrongplanet.net. I have been on much more often since it is summertime, and I am waiting for a call to hire me for a job (I applied for Safeway a couple weeks ago; hope it's not the type of job where you have to know the manager or one of the workers to apply). I do pray about it, though, and whatever the LORD wills it will be done. Many think that whatever they do not see is not real, and in some aspects that's true, but God is true. You could see that God has performed miracles and sent angels to people, and many testify that stuff. It's real, and God is a loving God, not the type that must constantly be appeased or else He'll be angry. Nope, God builds a relationship on love and grace, not anger and violence. Anyways, today I just stayed at home and watched my nephew, and he's hyper, and I'm not as hyper as him. I wish that the month could soon pass by so that bandcamp and crosscountry could start. I know some people call me crazy for liking a running sport, and weird since I actually like bandcamp, but that's just me and what is it to them if I like crosscountry and bandcamp! They obviously aren't thinking very broadly as the world consists of other people, and other people having different interests and different personalities. Oh well, till I write again!

Today was as normal a day as you could get I guess. I went to school, and I ran after school (track season just started Monday). I ran a recovery run today, since I did fartleks yesterday. I play the trombone, so I played after school until the activity bus came, picked us up, then took us home. Sometimes I just keep doing the same exact things every day; which consist of going to school, track, then playing trombone, activity bus, then home. I'm used to ruitine, while others simply cannot stand it. It's probably my Asperger's, maybe it's part of my personality. I sometimes just want to be normal, but other times I'm greatful that I do have Asperger's. Which one is it?
