One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.

Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one beloning to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me."

The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffereing,
when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you."

Chicks! You know what's really awkward? When girls go after you! There is actually nothing more awkward than a girl hitting on you. You want to say thank you, but then that might encourage them to do it again. Ya it's better that guy's take the initiative!

-God(obviously)- Wow this guy is filled with such unfailing love. If ever there was someone who rocked my sock drawer like Jesus, I would have splinters in my feet every day from my shattered dresser!
-people who are real- I can't stand it with people who put on a pretty face, a fake image to make themselves more attractive or more likeable, or more wanted. I guess thats because i used to be just like that! Ha! But ya, there is nothing that makes my day than truly getting to know a persons heart no matter where that person is at. And it drives me CRAZY just being some acquaintance with the people arround me!
-any sport that is hardcore or can be made hardcore- Like tennis! Tennis is a game for psycoes and old men, but when you play with someone who is twice as good as you and you trash talk, then tennis RULES!
-the Bible- My goodness! I had to sew my Bible up because it was coming appart at the seams! Then the sewing came out and i had to tape it. The Bible is the most wicked awsome book ever! If you havent read it or choose not to... FORGET CHOO!
-encouraging instead of bringing people down- There is nothing that bothers me more than people who bring you down, or bring themselves down! I love encouraging people. There is nothing like seeing a smile crack from an encouraging remark. And it makes my day when someone else can be pleased by the words i say. I will always try and speak only words of truth and love and bury all the rest!
-integrity-For me integrity is lining up my life with my Lord Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life! I will place my morals on his scale, and i will live to match that scale!
-people who realize their own worth- I love it when people realize that they are worthwile! I mean God gave his only son so he might have a relationship with me. That is like exchanging a hundred dollar bill strait across for a penny! Instead of looking at the trade as unfair, God said, Yes, they are worth the same to me. God is so good. That is why we are worth so much! You can try and find your worth in anything, but no one will ever make you feel more worthy than Jesus. You are worthwile. So don't be timid, or meak! Stand your ground! Be who you are! God loves you just the way you are, so who is anyone to dispute Him?
-people who aren't afraid to live without being bound by what people think of you- You can't help what people think of you. They will despise you or love you. All you can do is live your life without judging and by accepting with love. Then just live to be who you are!

Dislikes
-Fear- I hate fear! One time my teacher made us write down our 3 biggest fears. Let me tell you the biggest fear in that room wasn't what people wrote down, it was fear of man. Everyone around me was so timmid of being found out, of being exposed for who they really were! They all had stupid answeres like:spiders, clowns, mimes. It was kinda pathetic. God put it on my heart to show my class what it meant to be real. I shared my true deepest fears with my class. They were: girls, absolute loneliness, and the future. That was two years ago, and those fears no longer hold any sway over me, but at that time they really plaugued my thoughts and brought me down. OK ENOUGH WITH FEAR! ITS TIME TO LIVE FOR GOD FREE FROM THE TRIVIAL CONSERNS OF THIS LIFE SO THAT WE CAN WIN THE PRIZE!
-The Enemy- I hate it when Satan gets a foothold, when he ruins my friends day, when he brings you to tears, when he drives people to cut themselves! I hate the Devil and the Devil hates me! I do not fear him, but i can't help but feel helpless when all my friends lives around me are crashing down from spiritual warfare!
-Loneliness- When you feel forgotten, alone, and you feel like there isn't a person in the world who actually cares about you anmore. The feeling consumes you like a chill coming from deep within you and spreading through your entire body.

Thats pretty much it. I don't have a lot to hate, but i have a lot to be passionate about!
