I just immersed myself in movies. *grins* Ryan and Kristine let me stay at their house over the weekend while they were gone. I watched some very interesting films. Do you know that Bruce Willis is a very intense actor? Unbreakable is a very cool movie. Can you imagine finding out that you have some sort of super power and then becoming a hero? Spider Man deals with that, but I think this was a little more indepth and gut-wrenching. Willis is superb. It's a thriller so there's some intense scenes, but I liked it.
The funny thing about immersing myself in movies is that I come out with themes and plots intertwining. My dreams were very interesting last night.
I find it interesting (yes Martha, The Tree said it again) that I can just enter worlds through books and film and almost become a part of them. If I find a good book, I have a really hard time putting it down and I usually stick out movies. This seems to be a good way to escape reality for awhile, but I have found that it can cause me to forget about my relationship with God. That stinks. So I have to be careful about how much I watch or read.
Pastor Tony was talking about supporting one another and the impact we have on each other's lives. I have been having a hard time wanting to be with people these last few days and weeks. Something about summer just makes me want to isolate myself and not worry about the outside world. I've succeeded to a point. Problem is then I feel lonely and get mad at my friends who don't call me or hang out with me. Kinda a paradox eh? I realized as Tony was talking that I need to contact people and hang out with them. It's not just their responsibility. So, I asked several people about getting together this week. No definite times, but I will get together with someone this week.
Speaking of friends - I had a conversation yesterday on the phone that really uplifted me. I like knowing that there are people out there that believe in the same fashion as I do. Thanks.
I really, really, really, want to go to Liz's this next month. I don't know whether it'll work, but I'm hoping that the money will come in and I'll be able to spend a few days with them. Steve and I have a lot to cover.
I'm really learning to trust in God for provision. He's provided friends to buy groceries, the school lets me work off my rent as well as giving me some more hours for a paycheck. Even though I'd like a 40 hour a week job and I'd like to be financially stable, I'm being provided for. I have a bed to sleep in, air conditioned room, and something to do. It's a good thing God provides.
Speaking of provision - I'd like to ask for prayer for my family. Our church is having some financial problems. Just pray.
BTW this story is interesting. David, you'll like it.
