what is real.

sometimes i lose track of the things i am doing or saying or thinking bc i find myself getting too caught up in what goes on in everyday life. (i just thought to my self that the sentence i just wrote was what some teachers call a "run-on") like today for example, my friend joel asked me for a pretzel stick i had. now the source of where i got the stick had like a million more but i was instantly too selfish to give him one. i immediately caught myself and thought a simple thought that made me feel like an idiot: " what if Jesus had asked me for a pretzel?" i gave joel a pretzel, and jeremy, and this other guy. haha anyway, today i had a brain fart and while listening to someone talk today i realized something.

i want to be more like Christ.

i really do! i play drums every sunday in front of thousands of people, and i never get mad for stupid reasons when i am on stage there. or yell at people i dont know because they cut me off in the foyer. to everyone there i am a pretty perfect guy who plays drums. 

but i know that throughout the week i mess up all the time. i guess what i am trying to say is that ever since i have been saved i have wanted to be more like Christ but today was kinda a day of remembering why i do what i do, to show the world Christ through me.  i am a new man today and although i know i am prob going to mess up tomorrow i am still going to stand.

Today i went to harris teeter to do the whole coin star thing for some cash. every time you do that you always (well at least i always do) feel like you should have received more money than you got. anyway after i got my pitiful 23 dollars, i proceeded to the checkout line where i had to wait on a colored lady have her card be declined like 10 times!!! after she finally gave up she left the store mad and upset but i think more embarrassed than anything. being my turn now i looked at what she was going to buy and it was two bottles of BBQ sauce and some strawberries. i suddenly thought i should buy those for her and be super nice guy. (seeing that i just got "free" money) i did. i ran out of the store and handed them to her, and she said thank you! i felt pretty cool she said i was a good role model! hahahahh i dont really feel like one, but try it sometime. buy someones small items in line and be a role model! :)
