Sometimes you just need to pull the mask off. At what point do you decide enough is enough?

For My Rebecca: Day 40

I try to find the shortest route. The cheapest option. The easiest way out. Do you ever find yourself spending more time on trying to find the easy way out? Is there anything wrong with finding the easiest way out?

For My Rebecca: Day 39

Our flight got moved back two and a half hours! We were stuck there until 12... So my question is how do you react when your flight schedual gets changed? Do you ever have really long layovers and fall asleep?

For My Rebecca: Day 38

Today was awesome. Seeing finals live was amazing. We watched all the finals and were only about 6 rows from the front... Anyway seeing that made me thing, "wow there is a whole world out there for us." So my question is how do you access that world? I just noticed I clicked save not publish on my droid I didn't forget I promise

For My Rebecca: Day 37

I haven't kept you updated because I was put in the wrong supp and didn't want to rant at you. God probably wished things would have gone differently on earth, just as I wished I got into the right event. So how do you react when things don't go well? Do you rant and rave?

For My Rebecca: Day 35

Today it was really hard to work with the people around me. Competition was fierce! What do you do when the status quo says be a jerk? How do you rise above?

For My Rebecca: Day 34

One of congresses biggest issues is that they spend to much money in certain areas. So my question is do you spend to much of anything in one area? If you do how are you going to change that?

For My Rebecca: Day 33

Today Texas beat Miami, it was the first time they won the championships. A lot of the players have been waiting for this day for a long time, they're whole lives were surrounded by this one huge goal. So I have two questions. First - what is the biggest goal you have? Second - once you reach it what happens next?

For My Rebecca: Day 36

Today was at graduation and they takes about what we we're moving away from. What do you want to move away from in your life?

For My Rebecca: Day 31

Today I went to a good will store. I found the greatest little gem of a gift. Sometimes you find things in places you don't expect. So my question is: what gems do you have in your life? And does God ever put things in places you don't expect to find things?

Today was about going separate ways. Most the seniors will never see eachother again. What happens when you go separate ways with God how do you get him back?

For My Rebecca: Day 29

I thought todays suprise was awesome! I always look forward to your suprises! Today I was talking to the Cobb and we were talking about how words and action must coincide. If they don't coincide how do you change that?

For My Rebecca: Day 28

Hmmmm what shall I write? God pushes me to write about his unspoken will. I think. It would be so much easier to know what God wanted us to do if he just... well... said it. Why can't he just use his melodious voice and just speak to me? He did it for Moses!!! So here's my question how do you hear God's voice if He doesn't use words?

For My Rebecca: Day 27

I was thinking today about everything God has given me, I said thank you but I just don't think that is sufficient. How do you thank God for what he has given you? Do you think your thanks are sufficient?

For My Rebecca: Day 26

Sometimes you just have to take huge chances, no matter how far fetched. Today I applied for a job, one that I probably won't get (text me and I'll tell you what it was :) .) I'm not sure what I was thinking! What chances have you taken? What chances will you take in the future? Why?

For My Rebecca: Day 25

I sat at a our spot yesterday, I thought to myself, "What will my life amount to, what kind of difference will I make in the world? Who will I effect? Why am I here? How will I glorify God?" Id like to know your answers to the questions I asked myself.

For My Rebecca: Day 24

Todays suprise was quite perfect. I thought it was only second to the shirt. I just watched this movie named V for Vendta it's a film about a man who wishes to help Great Britain and change her government through violence. Jesus taught a system of passive resistance, what do you think we should do when passive resistance doesn't work? Is force (not violence) ever a moral alternative? You may ask, "What does this have to do with changing me?" When you face a situation where no isn't enough then what's the next step. I had to face this yesterday and just recognized that today.

For My Rebecca: Day 23

You told me today that yesterday was hard. I'm sad you didn't tell me. I hope you talked to someone. So my question is did you talk to God? If you didn't why not? If you did, what did he say?

For My Rebecca: Day 22

An individual making either change in their own life or the lives of others is one of the many perplexing social issues of time when summed therefore by creating conditions upon which this change is founded we can more easily see the reason for change to take place. The two greatest motivators of an individual’s change are yearning to dissolve complacency in one’s life and being pressured to change at threat of social extinction. So for what reason did you change? How hard was it?

For My Rebecca: Day 21

Lies... they are dirty little things told by people to keep an image, concept, or thought alive. But as beautiful as they seem they are much like this tree named the umpas tree. This tree, no matter, how beautiful it may seem, destroys everything around it. What lies do you tell yourself or others in order to keep your christian fire burning (none may be an acceptable answer)?

For My Rebecca: Day 20

Jesus.... what a powerful word. This single word is one that has been used as an excuse for war, killing, and pain. People use this as their reason for why they do horrific things. Do you ever use God as an excuse as for why you can or cannot do something (good  or bad)?

For My Rebecca: Day 19

I just read this book named Jesus Freaks, it was about people who gave up their lives for Christ. What would you give up for Jesus? Here's the hard question, why?

For My Rebecca: Day 18

Today someone told me that I have an option: store your treasure on earth or in heaven for you may not bare both gifts. I think you want to store your's in heaven, but how will you do that? And what is YOUR treasure?

For my Rebecca: Day 17

Today I had a discussion with someone on whether faith and reason can go hand and hand. I explained that they could and he asked if I had reason and logic how could it still be faith. So my question to you is at what point do faith and reason collide? And does having reason and logic mean that believe is no longer faith? Finally, how can you have more faith in God?

For My Rebecca: Day 16

Making the best of what you've got - mmmm Rebecca, it drives me nuts when you say things like that because I was perfectly okay with not making new friends and here you are making me realize that I'm going to fill out the dorm papers dammit I hate paperwork. (I'm a softy for you!) What does it mean to make the best of what you have? Do you have to appreciate everything you have including things that make you suffer? It it ok sometimes just to not like something about your life and not want to try to change it?


Thank you for making me change my mind in yet another 3:00 argument, I need to learn how to put up more of a fight against you.

For My Rebecca: Day 15

Just as a foreword, I wanted to tell you I did not forget about the three days you were on kairos, rather I wish to share them with you at the baseball game so we can have questions to talk about!!!

Today you came back from a trip that changes people. What are the essential elements of changing an individual or guiding the change (other than the person wanting to change)? What pushed you to change and want to stop destructive behavior? Most importantly and the biggest question, what have you changed?

For My Rebecca: Day 11

Today was great. The camp was fun, student were enjoyable, my coteacher was awesome! But  I couldnt stop thinking... "How does this glorify God?" Yes, it was fun, but was it something only something for us? How do we glorify God in our actions?

For my Rebecca: Day 10

In the heavy silence before the crash, I felt the adrenaline flush through my body. Something unlike anything ever before. And I think it was the silence that forced my body to feel like that. It was the uncomfortable factor that comes with silence. We, as humans, hate silence. The issue with this is that we quite often hear God best in silent; the time where we silence our lips and our souls. Do you find silence in your busy life? Do you like silence? I know you hate being home alone, but do you ever take advantage of the silence and notice that you're really not home alone?

Once in awhile you have a moment that causes your lifes actions to flash. Sometimes you have to change. Have you ever had an experience that caused you to review your actions?

For My Rebecca: Day 8

Today was an absolutely awesome day. This week has been awesome because it's been free of guilt. It's pretty amazing how the 'truth' can set you free so to speak; it's amazing how restricting yourself to the right actions is so liberating. So the question that persists, "When everything is going well how do you incorporate a need for God?" Sometimes when all is going well we make up things to be bad, "Do we create problems because complacency, even when all is well, is uncomfortable?"

For My Rebecca: Day 7

Love comes in three forms, may I mention, all of which are boundless?
Most of them with reason, except the last, that’s boundless.

Romanic
The first, the only one that must be exclusive,
is difficult to describe, the feeling quite allusive.  
But if I might try I would say its just like magic.
Meant for the brave, for only a true maverick.

Friendship
The next, similar to the first but with a different purpose.
When truly demonstrated, this only leaves you wordless.
Known as a friendship, this relationship is the “lean on me” kind.
This person will act as your cane or your dog if you ever go blind.
This person is next to you when you are sick.
When you’re down they give you a kick.

Family
The last is a like the one between a daddy and his princess.
More than the rest this one is truly never endingly boundless.
Unlimited and groundless.
Forever and doubtless.
Miss beautiful Rebecca, This is the love I feel for you.
I wanted to tell you, because I didn’t know if you knew.
Love is unique.


I hope you know I love you on day 7, and day 70, and day 700, and day 7000, and just to be safe day 70000. Dearly beloved, I can't wait to see thee.


By the way I think a congrats is in order because a week is really really hard to achieve.

For My Rebecca: Day 6

Rebecca, you saved my everlasting life. I don't know if you know the ramifications behind that. You have literally saved me. So here is my question for you today, I know what lead me to Christ... but what lead you to Him? I know this is a hard question, but dig really deep and find out. Don't accept complacency as an answer as to why.

For My Rebecca: Day 5

Mary, the mother of our Lord, was the strongest woman that ever lived. Of course she said yes, Gabriel gave her great news... she was going to be the vessel of the Lord!!! It may be true that she was told an amazing and glorious fact, but with this revelation came an abundance of issues. What would her brothers and sisters say? What would the community think? What would Joseph think?!? She was 16 when God told her that she was the one who would bear the son of the world.

What would you have said? Do you say yes to God's plan?
