Still an uneventful weekend

well this past weekend I had to face some serious hard truths. I have not really wanted to think about these truths but only time withheld the truth. wow ouch my little heart sure does hurt. Im a firm believer of "say what you mean, and mean what you say". However i did my job??? I have no clue what is going on but, all i know is that everything is falling apart. I figure that if you try so hard for so long, things will happen. Evidently i was wrong.... It seems like how hard I try, nothing seems to happen quite the way that i intended or planned rather. I think that this could possibly be a sign that MAYBE just MAYBE there is a far more bigger plan for my life that I totally do not see comming. I have been stoked for a while about my birthday and just the fact that im growing older and becoming the man that God wants me to be.... but then again why does everything happen the way that it does? Im a firm believer that the creator of the heavens and the earth has me exactly where he wants me.. Yet, again the fact of not knowing that is something that i have a hard time to grasp hold of. This sounds so redundant to me and i knew deep down that it was going to happen.. But i must go on and keep my head up high and be thankful for my wonderful friends and family that have made my life what it is... Mostly i thank God for the many life lessons learned throughout my life and how i can keep growing stronger and stronger..

Happy Birthday, John Evan! I'm sorry we weren't able to go with y'all to celebrate. I'm also sorry your "little heart hurts". That makes me sad. Just remember that God never promises that things will be easy, but he does have a wonderful plan for you. I'm not sure what your situatuion is right now, but be encouraged that we all have been through these times when it seems that things are spinning out of control. God is in control. When I look back I can see God's hand in all the different situations in my life. Relationships are hard. Things happen. We don't know why. Look back at what was going on in my life in my 20s. The best way to sum up that time in my life was "uncertainty". But God had a plan. It totally took me by suprise. But it was a "good and perfect plan". Be strong, JE! Love you!

Yea ! What Paige said.

... and quit growing up so fast! Being a man isn't all it is cracked up to be!!! DUDE! Be young! Enjoy wakin up and actually feeling pretty good everyday. Enjoy being able to say "I have no real plans" when people ask you to do stuff and enjoy being able to be spontaneous. Enjoy unplanned trips with friends. Enjoy being single!!!
I guess it is easier for me to focus on the possitives of being young since Im an Old Fart. That life seems harder to remember now. (mah Old Timer's)
Anyway, you will only be this age once so.....CARPE DIEM!

and.... (THIS is redundant) ......ENJOY!!!!!!!
