then?..that meant?....
I look at every nook and cranny in my life. every crevice that my mind has and wonder why are you there?
Why are you and your friends fighting in my head? Thoughts, Ponders, Ideas, nightmares, dreams, curiosities, headaches, and my imagination.. What are you doing?
I "over do" you guys way too much. why can't you leave me alone? Why can't you just calm down? why don't you just chill out? Stop running at night and let me sleep? Stop looking into everything they say. STOP THINKING! Stop giving me hope, stop confusing my ideas. Stop distracting me from God's work, If only I can get rid of you!

Galatians 5
19-21It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on.
This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom.
22-23But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.
16-18My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit. Then you won't feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don't you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?
25-26Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original.
What more can be said about this. The message is clear. Living our own lives just by looking at ourselves in the mirror all day isn't going to give us anything. Living a life set by rules is an empty life full everything you just read. A life full pointing fingers, a life full of "I's" is a endless cycle of nothingness.
Giving you cheap and mindless entertainment, which once its over you are back from where you started. or where you were, were you last left of. Bored and empty and full of holes. Poking at yourself even more for not being able to complete yourself.
Living by the spirit gives so much more. It re-energises us. It connects us to other people. It makes you an extrovert rather than keeping you an introvert. It opens doors of opportunity and it makes you a responsible man or woman. It takes the best in you and lets everyone know about you. Life will flow thru you that will impact those around you. It will give you presence in a room and humble you in a crowd. Your life will be open and even (dare I say it) carefree you won't waste time in mindless thoughts or worrying and concern, You will be lead by the spirit and live life thru Him who is in you. "A sense of compassion in heart" ..."A sense of compassion in heart"
What more can be expected? The most High will have you as the apple in His eye. Its what He expects from us. A life of faith. A life that Trusts Him He died for us and He(the Spirit) who He sent for us. And Thru His blood we have an endless connection with our creator. Look at 2 Samuel 22
7 A hostile world! I called to God,
to my God I cried out.
From his palace he heard me call;
my cry brought me right into his presence—
a private audience!
A private Audience, We would not be able to do this without our faith in Christ. his blood has allowed us to have such a connection.
We have this we have such a life. Let us make it a living in living our lives by the spirit. By Allowing the Spirit to guide us. thru it all.
All you need to do is trust Christ. That is it. Him only. Nothing else added. NO 6 hour prayers no 12 hour vigil. sure these things are great for the Christian walk. But in reality all you need to do is truly honestly(leave it with Him) Trust in HIM. His spirit will guide you he said so... Trust Him!

Me derite un ojo y me hacer llorar en los otros dos
Its a line from the play that I am in. Watching this play unfold itself has been quite an adventure. from reading it trying to understand it and creating the characters from the ground up, has been worthwhile. It has had its frustrating moments (like any other thing you might do in your life that is a challenge) and its had its great moments(typical). I've meet a wide variety of characters. People of which I never would have thought of interacting with, or even befriending. i don't know if its safe to say similar people, similar in the sense that they cant stay still... snake like people who feel their bodies can express life itself.. and I believe they can. They are no Will Ferrell or Al Pacino's but they are the folks who do theatre. Who do this just because it brings pure enjoyment into their lives. They will make you believe that they are a cat.. to say the least and you would believe them, and say"Juan that Is a tall cat!!" and I would say "No no my friend that is not a giant cat that is a person their name is...."What a great opportunity it is to be a part of this.To be able to enjoy the company of other people who are like myself giant monkeys who cant stay still...who enjoy the concept of being someone else, just for the sake of being someone else.. not for the money, but for the pure pleasure of it!
Showtime is coming up soon.. Can I do this can I pull this thru??!
We will soon find out!!
What a challenge!!!!

well how you like that ??
Again I am in question as to what God wants me to do. Where does he want me to go. I have moved on from a situation and have been able to heal rather well. I've been able to (on top of that) grow in areas I didn't really think about, areas in which up until now are able to take a good hammering. God has renewed, refreshed, restrengthened, reformed and transformed me in ways I couldn't imagine.
So as I loose myself, as I sit in the sand of my thoughts, feel the waves of my imagination and try to not re-invent myself but make my sand castle out of it all.
In hopes that they don't get washed away by new ideas...but why would I mind, new ideas refresh and strengthen old ones. more water and sand strengthens the brick.. but I need to build them all upon a rock. so they wont be washed away. Strengthen by a better foundation, and begin building with better material..which is surrounded by my thoughts and clashed with by my imagination my foundation will never be shaken or stirred.
It can never fall....

well who would have thought it
In the midst of all my troubles,...well the core of it all I come to realize that I have been dealing with Saul. Saul who tried to kill David, Saul who planned and schemed against God's anointed behind their backs, who slaughtered those who wore the priestly robes and worshiped God. I don't think I'm an anointed one, I also don't think there is much or anything special to me. I believe to be an average Joe, but as I read 1 Samuel and so on. I see how Saul behaved, how he went from one feeling and went straight to its complete opposite. How his words were never stable and his actions spoke of what was in his heart. What pure ungodly things were in his heart. I believe that I dealt or am dealing with the same thing. I am dealing with Saul....
And like David, in all the opportunities I had to act out in rage, to take my vengeance, to fight for what I thought was right. I turned my back to and did what I would hope be what God wanted me to do. I pray that my Saul finds the Lord, that they may gain fear of Our precious Lord our God, and that they may see how His grace and love is sufficient and that they may try to rectify their lives according to God's will. which ever it is.

Bueno
A friend of mine says "Bueno" every time she wants to hang up.
As I am in the process of saying Bueno in this season of my life. I also have to say Hello. This season brought alot of pain and agony and its teaching me new things I never expected to have worked on in a million years.
What can I say? Is even though it is beneficial later on in my life(well the financial piece of this season), I can't say its a "treat" going thru it now. Food for though!
