Family

What is a family? Is it something that people can go hind behind when they are scared. Is family a system of friends that are always there for you? I have many family members, I have aunts and uncles that are really in now way related to me. I have brothers and sisters that are also in no way related to me. But the family that is always there for me when I need them are the family members in my immediate family. During my first semester of college, I had to make huge choices about payment plans. I had so much money in my account at the bank, and the school was asking more than what i had. So, what happened, well, my uncle, said he would pay off a loan that would cover my first semester of college. It was great, I am not happy that i had to take that loan, but, I am happy that I have family to back me up all the way. That is what a family is. It is one big body, that shares burdens so that one limb does not die off.

Treasures

What are you Treasures? When you wake up in the morning do you, what is the first thing you thing of? I have found that in my past I think a lot about what i can do today to make more cash, get more stuff, and be better at something than someone else. The is nothing wrong with having money, or stuff, or being better at something. There is a problem with making it your life though. It is called storing treasures on earth instead of heaven. Everything on this earth will at one point in time break, wear away, or just vanish. In heaven on the other hand, the treasures we make last for ever. They will not break, they will not wear away, and they will not vanish. I have been studying this at church over the month of February, and it made me thing of how much i don't store stuff in the right place, my desk can prove it. I am not organized, i do not prioritize my stuff the way i should. This leads over to my treasures, I hate to say it, but i have noticed that I have stored my treasures here on earth more than up in heaven. I want to fix it, so I guess i will have to learn how to give to others, always smile, always give a hand even when i don't have have the time.

who i am

So, I am went to church last weekend. The pastor was talking about "Who I am?" The pastor talked about the titles that we go by. Pastor talked about our names, our jobs, and our likes. Everyday we go by these titles. Every when someone asks us the question, how are you, we answer with a title. "Good" is the normal answer. Also when we meet a someone new, "Hi, how are you?" "Good, you?" "I am well." "My name is so and so." "What do you do?" "I am a fireman." Though, all these things are good things to know about someone it is greater to know why you are what you are, and not be know by a title.Over the next few weeks, I am out to find out "Who I am." I have a name, I have a occupation, which is learning. What I don't have is "Who I am" I am hoping ot find this out. I want people know me for who i am and not what I am. This could take some work. I need to know what I am doing, and why. The answer why can not be just because, it has to be in-depth and full of meaning to me. So, Who am I? Well, that is what I am trying to find out.
