Restored!

I have strayed. I have been lost. I have been sinning and sinning and running in the opposite direction for a long time. God met me where I was, led me back his way, and I am completely restored. I have never felt such a passion for the Lord as I do now. I have never felt his prescence so much. Nothing seems to matter when you have such a strong love for your creator. I was in a seemingly endless funk of a bad mood for almost 2 years. Now, I'm always happy. Everything is in a different light. The same situations and problems in my life still suck, but I DON"T CARE! Love coveres a multitude of sins, and my God's love is the greatest love of all. He is working in me, and molding me, and making me new. And I cannot wait to be suprised by whatever comes next. Proverbs starts in just a few days, and I am super stoked! Whatever is going wrong for you, no matter how down and lost you are, forget the sins of this world, for they will satisfy you for only a moment. God's love will quench your thirst and keep you coming back for more and more and then more again. There is only one thing in this world that is steady and unchanging. And I will forever sing of the love my father has given me!

5 Minutes

sometimes you just have a quick series of very fortunate events. I got to clean 3 toilets, play guitar, and watch Andy Griffith! life is good.

Its 4:30 AM. am i in bed? no. I am watching the australian open semifinal between Roger Federer and my man Novak Djokovic! GO NOLE!

Tennis, Nightmares of my childhood

The Australian Open, I love. It is a fun time. All of the tennis slams are. I just love, love, love tennis. I love to watch it and also I like to play as a secondary vantage point on the sport. I love it when Roddick (Who I mercilessly dislike to say it nicely), AND Soderling go down before the quarter-finals. I love it when my tennis hero in the form of a certain Novak Djokovic from serbia sails through to the quarters and gets set up with a sweet 3 vs. 6 match against Tomas Berdych. Which he will win. Yes. Victory for Nole. If by some strange happening my tennis hero in the form of Novak Djokovic doesn't win his second australian open title, I would like to see mr rafael nadal take the cup in order to put him one slam closer to Roger Federer's record which he will, in fact, blow out of the water assuming that his knees stay healthy. I am sad that one of my fave womens player Ana Ivanovic (Who is best friends with a certain tennis hero in the form of Novak Djokovic of mine), lost in the first round, but atleast Caroline Wozniacki is inching towards her first and much past due first slam. In, closing, I am afraid of Marco Baghdatis. Nightmares, almost as bad as my childhood dreams of the pep boys. I would not trust the pep boys with my auto parts, much less, any body parts. Oh, yeah, this post is about tennis. Well, too bad, it's over now.

For Cameron, Alex, and Joni-tail.

-Evan, Go Nole!

whaa??

I don't understand anything. Life is a crazy, mixed up, ball of "Confuse Evan". And the worst part is....No one can help me cause they don't get it either. Choices are hard, girls don't make sense, i can't gain weight, i'm too young for anything, kithcens never stay clean, I still watch blue's clues, the provolone doesn't last in my fridge for more than 3 days, I have terrible luck with girls who once again, don't make any sense, and Shannon's sense of humor leaves you wondering what life is really all about. One good thing comes from this. God understand ALL OF IT! 1 point for you, God. You're very smart. Now, if you could just help out with all those things. I can make lists, you can fix the subjects! We could make a good team! kay, thanks!

Reflect

As the moon reflects the light of the sun, so should we then reflect the holy one.

Laugh

Laugh, people. smile! Be happy! Can I help? The world is bright! God is good! Pop-tarts are in stores! Watch a movie! Talk to a friend! Read the bible! Have soup, it fixes everything. I was angry today, I played guitar, and then a friend wrote me a spontaneous encouragin message, it fixed everything! Lean on your friends! They are here for a reason. Pray. Pray. Pray. God is smarter than anyone. He's the only person that I can disagree with and still trust through it. Come on, people! You know that little star they tell you to put in your pocket for a rainy day? Still have it?

Sara Jones

Sara Jones is super cool. She is my new best friend. she does funny things. and sometimes she says hi. I am friends with Sara Jones.

People

Thank you God for other people. Partly cause It would be lonlier than Tom Hanks here on Earth, but because they teach me so much. Thank you for putting people in my life that can build me up, and keep me straight, and make me feel better. You bless me, you teach me, you reach me. Thanks for being a great creator. It's been a great day, and I'm very happy.

As Kings of Leon blasts through my sisters door, so I blast off.

I just realized I'm like the only guy I know who blogs. ok, that's all.

Pop Tarts

WILD BERRY POP TARTS ARE BACK! After years of waiting and anticipation, and not to mention trying terrible new flavors,  they've finally brought back my heavenly excuses for pastries of Wild Berry! Pop Tarts! So delicious. Go to Martins. Best 1.79 you'll ever spend. Gee I'm hungry right now. Sloppy Joes for lunch!

Oh and I forgot

Pretzel M&M's. best since crispy left.

Skittles

Oh my gosh. so good. official addiction. But a grape and a strawberry in your mouth at the same time. stunning.

Disclaimer: Frustrated Christian

I trust God. I understand he has a plan and knows me and my life more than I do. But, I'm going to put it out there. I am so frustrated by it. Sometimes I wish I could just do it myself. Like God is Lowe's or something "You can do it, we can help." Guess what, God? It's hard to trust you. It's hard to be lonely. It's hard to sit back and let you do your thing, especially when you're someone like me who has a nice little plan laid out. I know exactly what I want, and God knows exactly why it would be bad for those things to happen. That's just hard to accept. I have a brilliant, organized creator over me, who knows what I want and what I need and has a perfect blend of the two, and because I'm a 16 yr old boy i think "Who cares what I need, I want this!" I keep getting open paths that lead to dead ends, and once I hit a wall another path opens, leading to a dead end once again. and again. and again. It's hard to trust that God is looking out for you when bad things keep happening. But, that's why I'm the creation and your the creator, God. Do your will, and may I be minimized and you be magnifyed, no matter how angry I am.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5
