Ezekiel is a really awesome prophet. the things God made him do were insane. he had him erect a model of isreal, and make a siege against it, then he had to lie on his side for 390 days for isreal then he had to turn on his other side fir 40 days for judah, eating nothing but wheat and barley, beans and lentils, and milet and spelt and water. and he could only eat about 8 oz.'s a day and he had to eat it at set times. then he had to shave his head and beard and he had to burn a third of his hair, he had to strike a third of his hair with a sword (how do you do that?!) and he had to scatter a third of his hair to the wind, but he had to take a few strands and tuck them away in his garments. all that represented what God would do to them.
then God had him symbolize "exile"...man. you just need to read it all. it's crazy. how can someone have the perseverance to obey God to that extreme? 390 days, laying on your side, and you can't sit up to eat, you have to do it all laying down...
anyways. he's a pretty awesome prophet. read ezekial 1-5. it's great.
Prayer is a place where we can "Adapt" ourselves to God, a place where our needs aren't our main concern, but the glorification of our Lord.

ACTS.
Awe.
I'm so in awe of God. He is my Creator. My Father. My judge. You know what I just noticed? All three of those are similar. They connect. My real father created me, and he is also my judge. He punishes me when i do wrong...but the Kind of loving punishment that makes me understand my wrong. Same for God, but in a much broader Bigger beautiful way. I'm in awe of God, for His creation. it never ceases to amaze me. the change in weather is awe-inspiring. the rain is refreshing and cool. the rainy season has always been my most favorite time of year. i use to love and look at the colorful reflections on the windshield of a car. the different kinds of drops and the reflection of city lights on the roads and puddles. call me a freak, but I thank God for those little pleasures.
i forgot what c was....maybe it'll come to me soon. OH yah! Confess.
well...last saturday Masami was asking everyone questions. and he said "have you ever lusted...?" and i never raised my hand, not because i was in denial. i actually didn't really fully understand what Lusting meant and i wasn't about to admit to something i knew nothing about. but now i know, and sadly i can say that i have. but everytime i think about it, it gives me more cause to praise God in showing me my sin and givng me the courage to ask for forgiveness. it's like being a little kid and going in for your punishment. it's the scariest thing ever. you know there will be Physical and Emotional pain, but once it's through you feel refreshed and ready to move on.
Thanks.
I really want to Thank God for the Job He's given me and the friends i have. Joy and Jason and David and Jon and all those other kids who enjoy my company. Thanks for giving me breath, and a really awesome family. for my personality and my femenine beauty. oh and my ten year Visa to India. that's pretty awesome.
Supplication.
I guess i'm quite content with everything right now. the greatest thing i could ask of God is to allow me to go to India again. and that my co-workers could find Christ. whether through me or someone else.
anyways. that's how you pray. by Masami's point of view. Like i said before Christ is really awesome. He's pure and Holy, something i'll never match up to until Heavan. I can't wait.
