Six.

Okay, P.Rod this post is for you! Haha.

Since we're getting ready to have our 3rd Connect With God Night this Sunday, I've decided to talk about worship.

Now, obviously, I love to worship and to express my worship with music. But, what is my music compared to my entire life? Why do we find ourselves so often leaving out the key part of why we were created?

If you made a world with living beings, wouldn't you want those beings that you put so much effort into and care so much about to give you credit for making them and to recognize your superiority? I know I would. Think about how God feels when we, His living beings, don't give Him credit for our lives and recognize how big and mighty He is. I'd be frustrated if I were Him. I'd want at least a little bit of love from my people.

That's what God wants: love, worship.

That's worship! It's love and recognition for God's existance. He made us to love Him and give Him the glory. And not just some of the glory, but all of the glory we can give. He expects us to live our everyday lives for His glory. Not just during our 10 minute quiet time; or only when we sing in the car; or just when we go to church--but all the time! He takes care of us all the time, so why can't we worship Him all the time?

I want to make God a bigger part of who I am. I want Him to be my style; the way I look and act. I want God as deep in my heart as I can get Him. I want to worship. And not just sing songs and read the Bible and pray, but to live and breathe Godliness, holiness.

Procrastination....

I'm actually, believe it or not, a procrastinator. I basically only do what I feel like doing or what seems fun to me.

That's bad, I know. I always say to myself, 'Oh, I'll do that right after I...' or 'I need to get that done' or write down in my school planner "work on ____ project," but almost every single time, I don't do it right after anything or get it done early or work on projects. Basically, I wait until the night before something is due and then do it real quick, praying all the while that I finish and that I'll get a good grade.

That stinks. I don't like being a procrastinator. So don't think I was boasting about my incredible skills of putting things off just then. I wasn't.

Pretty much, I'm expecting some good advice or encouragement to stop putting things off.

Anything to say...?

Four.

I'll start off with this...

I hate school.

There. I said it. I actually feel a little better now that I've just vented that. Actually, since saying it was so relieving, I think I'll elaborate a little on the subject.

I am personally not a big fan of homework. I think that's the whole problem with school. I think students would love going to school if they didn't have to worry about turning in incomplete homework or just not turning in any homework at all. I mean, let's face it: we don't like sitting for 8 hours everyday listening to and doing pointless paperwork for bogus teachers who care less about how we're going to die when our parents see the D we have on our PAP Algebra 2 exam, only to find out that in half of our classes the man/lady decided that it was necessary for us to do more work at home during our remaining 5 or 6 hours of the day.

Seriously, though, the average adult doesn't bring home their actual job to finish during their free time everyday. Sure maybe they talk about it or bring something home every now and then, but not every stinkin' day. That would be stupid. Right? Right.

So, I think school is dumb because we have homework. That's why. Not because of bullies or mean teachers or gross food at lunch or too many rules or something, but pretty much just because we have to do 15 algebra problems in math, write about 20 dead people in history, answer 50 questions about Julius Caesar in English, do a confusing packet in science, and copy 25 Spanish vocabulary terms from the text book to a spiral notebook, it seems like, every time you turn around. And what really bothers me is that some teachers have the nerve to give me that much on a Wednesday night. Just in case you haven't noticed, I'm a little busy on Wednesday nights. I got some praisin' to take care of that night of the week.

Pretty much my current homework status is that I have 16 really extensive problems in PAP ALgebra 2 (because Mr. Dare thought we needed some math to hold us over incase it snowed), 18 questions in PAP World History (because Ms. Manees thought we needed some busy work to hold us over incase it snowed), All-State choir music that needs to be learned for the postponed tryouts since it snowed Friday, and some Science Fair work to do for PAP Biology. (I haven't started on any of it yet....)

Lord, help me not fail math. Mr. Dare says in order to do well in his class we need to study 30 minutes everyday. I don't like that. That is boring and truly a waste of my time, considering that I don't even remember what we talked about a week ago in his class. But whatever....

I can't wait for 2009, and then for 2013. NO MORE HOMEWORK! WOO HOO!

Ummm.... I guess I've ran out of words to complain. Sorry for my negativity. Have a great week!? Uhhh....

Okay, bye.
