Blessings of the Lord

I have been thinking recently about what kinds of Blessings God has given me. Mostly the things no one thinks is a blessing such as a Job, going to school, having a place to live, being in the US. Just somethings that no one ever thinks God has given us. While they may be small they are important. Some of the bigger things is a supportive family. The more I think the harder it becomes to think of blessings. So here are some general ones: everything. Anything and everything is of God or from God, anything that is a blessing.
As I have been working this summer I have seen a lot of people who have forgoten what God does for us. It is a little dishearting and concerning. I also began to realize what we are doing to nature while watching shark week. Thinking to the makes me think of the country song If Nobody Believed in You by Joe Nichols. In the last verse he says what if nobody believed in God would he just give up on us. Becuase we are taking God's name out of all publice gatherings. What would happen if God did just give up on us. Would we still live or would the world come to an end.
My other problem I have seen is that many people in the Church seem to think that everything is going just fine and that we are not to get invovled in the world polotices or anything like that. Well to those people I would like to say How in the world do you expect us to "convert" the world if we are not invovled in it. No we don't have to be part of it but we must know what is going on. The more influence we gain in polotices the better chance we have of "converting" the world to a religion.
anyway that is my rant for the time being.

Needing Prayers

For those of you who don't know I have to make some major life changes this semester at school. Many of which mean that I cannot be as social as I have been. One of them encludes not being in club in the Fall which is going to be really hard because Alpha has become a place where I can get away from school and have a good time. Another one is have to spend four hours per class hour in the library which means fourty or more hours a week. I also have to work. If I don't get my grades up I will not be able to finish college atleast at OC. If I do get my grades up I will be able to slowly work my way back into my normal socializing. i have atleast go my parents to finaly tell me I can go back to OC but I may not be able to go full time. They are trying to get me to consider working full time and taking one class in the fall and get myself in finacial security. They want me to not be in to much debt before i get out of college but I am afraid that if i dont' go full time I will not ever finish. They want me to be succeful in life but to me not allowing to go back to school will make me unsuccesful. So if you guys would pray for me and every decsion I have to make I would trully appreciate it.
With all of these changes I also have to go to a Psychologist to find out what if any learning disabilitys I have. My first visit is on wednesday. So if you would pray for me I would love it.
Not all of them are bad changes and many will allow me to say but they are all going to be hard for me. It may be easier because I will enjoy my major more.

Well I am off
Love you all
