Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of you, I know it's been a while since I last wrote about my life, so I'm going to write a bit now.

Life has been treating me pretty well lately. I finished wrapping my Christmas presents for my family and girlfriend and her family. Tomorrow I am going to meet Angie's family. I am kind of scared about it, but I know it'll turn out okay.

I was sick last Friday and it was the last day of school before break. In other words, I lucked out and got a day longer for break. I'm pretty sure I had stomach flu. Angie came over and visited me for a bit which was nice.

Angie and I have hung out everyday since Friday and it has been wonderful. We decided to take a break for today to spend time with our families.

Trust pt. 2

This post is going to be kind of random, so hang in there!

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Luke 16:10

This verse is talking about people and the ability they have of being trusted. You might think to yourself "It's okay to be dishonest with little things. I will be trustworthy with the big things." I hate to break it to you, Jesus is basically saying "You know guys, you need to be honest with everything. It is critical to be trustworthy because you will be tempted to be dishonest with the big things if you are dishonest with the little things."

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Mark 12:30

On the surface this verse is talking about not having idols. I'm thinking that it is also about trusting God. Take the word "love" and switch it with "trust." How awesome is that? Now it is pretty much saying "Trust God with everything you have in life."

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

This verse is also indirectly about trust. It's talking about how we should always trust God to be there, because He is even when it doesn't fell like it.
