James Harmer

Well, I certainly hope that lately I’ve been thinking… considering that I have a brain, and that’s what it’s meant for.  If I wasn’t doing so than I would be wasting it, and a mind is a terrible thing to waste!!  Yeah…  and yeah, Ziggy(Mexicannonamerican) where on earth are you?  You have disappeared from the Internet!!  I can’t find you, and I’ve been looking.  If you read this leave a comment and let me know where your current online residence is if you have one.

 Today, I didn’t do much.  I woke up at 2 pm thinking “How did I sleep this long?” and then walked downstairs to find that nobody was home.  So I went and poured a bowl of cereal and then realized that there was no milk…  man, I hate it when that happens.  So I thought, “what is in the fridge right now that is consumable(God forbid I actually drink water?)”  I opened the door to find what?  V8 juice…  wow.  The world of dieting and nutrition has destroyed our fridge… no, actually groceries are just very overdue(and that’s where my mommy was.)  So I resorted to a glass of water(and a very tasty one at that.)  Then I read my subscriptions and noticed that many people like to take pictures, and some have gotten very good…  others, not so good.  Soon I will write an entry showcasing the ones I think are the best, but now I am not quite ready for that, I must spend more time looking.

I am really encouraged by what God has been doing at the outreach and am exited about the last few weeks, I have really been learning that God can do more with me than I thought.  It’s also encouraging to see Dannielle step out the way she has been, it’s really something else…  and a good “else” at that.  Very soon, at an event for YFC I will be leading worship with a team for an event.  I’m excited about it and am getting together a really talented group of musicians to be part of the team, don’t be offended if you aren’t asked… the truth is, you just aren’t awesome enough!!  No, not really, I just know so many amazingly gifted people that the team would be too big if everyone were part of it.  Recording is starting to pick up again, summer was just too lazy and I didn’t get much done… allot of people I’ve been talking to have told me similar things about their own lives, that this summer has been a heck of a lazy one…  oh well, other than that things are good.

Don’t let stress keep you down, things can seem huge one minute, and then tiny the next…  they can rule your life one minute, and you can step on them the next.  It’s all about perspective, if you’re stressed out get with the God-Perspective, because we see only part.  I know I know, easier said than done, you don’t have to remind me of that… life 101 for the last year.  But it is possible, you just need to read your WORD more and spend more time praying…  I don’t know why that’s so hard to do, it shouldn’t be, and I guess that’s part of the perspective thing.  How do we view the Word of God?  I think allot of this generation(including myself often) could use a healthy dose of the book of James, and no I’m not trying to be funny about the name thing… in fact, that wasn’t even his real name it was Jacob, but King James had it changed when the King James Version of the New Testament was created, I guess he wanted a disciple with his name?  And a book too…  Foo!!!  James is not a Hebrew name!!

Well, all of that aside God still has this whole “James, just trust me…  don’t ask questions right now.” thing going with me.  I don’t know how long it will last, the seizures got pretty bad a couple days ago, and I don’t understand anything right now, but it doesn’t change what the WORD says and that is what I stand on.  You know, in the process of trying to understand my seizures and God, and why I haven’t been healed yet, I went through many stages…  I almost considered dispensationalism… ha ha, the ultimate downfall of American Theology.  If I’m going to believe the Bible, I’m going to completely believe it, not pick and choose the parts that make the most sense to me and formulate a doctrine with no scriptural support what-soever, boldly I will make that statement.

 Well, the end of my day consists of me writing this entry, talking with my youngest of sisters who I love very much, and eating some toast and going to sleep.  There is a soda(Pepsi) hidden under my bed, to help me wake up on the way to church tomorrow for worship team practice… I have to hide them, too many people live in this house.  Look forward to church, missed it last week.

 Bye.
