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.

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.

What's" Your Element?

I got my first paycheck the other day. that's very exciting. i really like the people i work with. they're all really nice and like me.

let me list everyone, just because i can and it will be fun.
Phyllis. she's really awesome and funny, and she likes to gang up on me with other workers and tease me about random things.

Pam. she's always stressed but she's pretty nice. well....stressed is not really the word. more like tired.

Kyle, one of the new recruites who started working the same day as me. this kid is so funny! whenever he sees me he gets this huge smile on his face, and he always jokes around. he's awesome!

alex b. a very quiet guy. he's pretty nice.

alex. another extremely quiet kid. he told me he hates checking and he always smiles when he sees me! it's funny!

Barb. the one woman who intimidates me. she reminds me of Mrs. Schneider in second grade. a very masculin woman, who i can never tell when she's joking...or WHAT!

Brent. he's kindof "funnyish-weird". he cracks weird jokes...and he always makes me laugh.

Jenney. another stressed woman. well. at leaste this week she is. but even though she's always stressed, she's really nice.

april. my personal trainer. only once have i seen her extremely stressed, and it happened to be the day that i was stressed so we were both stressed. other than that one day, she's the nicest calmist woman there.

i don't really get to hang out with the meat department, or the deli. but the produce maneger and assistant are pretty nice.

there are other workers there, but they slip my mind. OH! there is Semira. i always...and i mean always...mispronounce her name. it's sad.

OH!!!! and Jackie!!!! she's my absolute favorite! she calls everyone sweety. and her laugh is extremely contagious!it's awesome!

the other day, all the workers up front, which i think it was Jenny, Phyllis, Jacki and pam. they all all of a sudden got in this weird funcky mood, where they were cracking the funniest jokes and were teasing me and laughing at the weirdest things. i was almost flabbergasted. it was so funny to see! man. i love my job
