whatev & pathetic relationships

Hi, this is marzipan. I'm feeling vivacious today. Leave a message and I'll call you back. *beep*

Prayer: "At school, before you eat, while you drive, in the locker room, at home, eyes open, eyes shut, before an exam, through the woods, feeding the dog, on the deck, walking to class, in the morning, before you sleep, wondering about the world, after the fight, looking for an answer, because you care, because you don't care, flying across the ocean, on your knees, to erase or remember, when you're happy, when you're scared, when no one else hears, using ancient ideas or new ones, singing or screaming, writing a letter, in a journal, at the interview, with or without something to say, to get real, on the date, sacred or irreverent, help! help! help!, loud or soft, at work, floating or sinking, after you fail, after you succeed, hands folded or raised to the sky, with a friend, with your dad, for your friends, for your family, during the game, at the meet, to find Jesus, on the mountaintop, in the valley, when you feel alive, when you feel half-dead, under attack or to attack, to reorganize, at the concert, for composure, to praise, to worship, to just listen, wherever, whenver, however..." Tony Jones - Prayer on Purpose

I felt that was blog-worthy. Life is good. Kinda tired. Meh, whatever. I just got a new Bible for Crystal and I cant wait to start highlighting in it for her so she can use it. I'M SO EXCITED!!! I cant wait to hear her scream with joy. :-D This is gonna be so awesome.

Alright well I gotta make a blast from the past because my cousin is coming over to have her back cracked. Oh yeah, I'm taking an art minor today. *duh duh duh* And I feel good. I'm kinda scared that I wont be good enough, because the professors are really weird about stuff, but I'm also so excited to FINNALLY be doing this. YAY!!! <3

How to tell if you are in a pathetic relationship:

1: poor or no communication

2: focus is on the physical and immediate gratification

3: ignores significant others (aka family, friends, mentors, etc)

4: minimizes spiritual and mental needs

5: is primarily exclusive (no time for anyone, if others were along it'd feel like they were imposing)

6: seeks out secret places, situations and circumstances

7: quickly justifies and defends actions

So there you have it - the 7 signs of a pathetic relationship. I hope you aren't pathetic...

So pretty much all day long I've been Bible studying and finding out way more than I thought I would. I've talked to so many people about various things and I love that I actually found an answer too! Yay!!! (now back to fixing up my new portable Bible...)
