thoughts on books, tipping and tithes

so i am still reading blue like jazz and i just finished the chapter about thithing

and it really hit me hard

In the novel miller was talking about his friend who like never really went to church and even tough he wasn;t into the christian thing he never forgot to tithe he always took out 10% of his earings and gave it to the church and miller said he felt so gulity cuz he harldy ever tithed and i feel that same guilt you know i always think o wow 10% of my paycheck how will i afford gas, how will i afford to go out i need that moneybut i think i am really gonna trust God to provide and i am going to give him what he told us to give

also do you realize that when we go out to eat we tip the waitress at least 15% maybe 20%
so why can;t we give God the 10% he asks us for

think about that i know i am

i keep bleeding love

i started to read blue like jazz by donald miller

i really like it so far

i really want to get back into the reading thing, i used to read all the time and i miss it

my next book with probally be "all families are pyschotic" i have to read it for class but the title seems very similar to my family

blizzard of 2008

great way to start spring break

Jeremiah 29:11 and the power of prayer

so last night was spent stressing out over college details

but this morning a good friend reminded me of a very powerful verse

Jeremiah 29:11 "For i know the plans i have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

how awesome is that God knows what is gonna happen in your life and those things are gonna give you hope!

i am still a little worried about the college situation but i know that God is there and through prayer and trust in him i am gonna get through this

it is gonna be alright

stressful situations
