Hello again! It's Lauren here! I was out in the woods the other day when I saw some deer. They just froze and looked at me! I was thinking about how much God has made for me! I live here where a lot of animals live and yet I still felt like God had left something out. Well it was then and there that I realized most people can't come out there front door and see deer, foxes, raccoons, and even sometimes birds! Well I get to see all of that everyday and much more!! The evidence for creation is all around me and yet I fail to see it. God has made this entire universe and all I see when I come out of my house is a bunch of trees and dirt that have been there ever since I was born and long before that! I remember talking to my dad a few days ago about a similar thing. He was talking about eating. Yes I know that has absolutely nothing to do with this, but hold on a second. I'm going to make a point with this. My dad said that he had been listening to a talk show and the host of the show was talking about a good way to lose weight. Ok stay with me here! Anyways, the host said that you should sit down for every meal and eat one bite at a time. They said to take one bite and then stop for a second to enjoy it. They said the average person rushes though his/her meal with in ten minutes and eats way more then there body can handle. Well it's kind of the same with nature. People don't have the time to go watch a squirrel climb a tree or sit down and watch a deer drink from a stream, but they have enough time to surf the Internet and watch TV. People just rush though there days wondering how the next one will be. Well that's NOT how it works. God created this entire world for us to live on so we could glorify Him. But we are to rushed to sit down and praise God for what he has created, because we think it would be to boring. It is like telling God he made life to busy for us to look at what He has made! That is definitely NOT TRUE!!!! We are the ones who have made life so busy! God loves us and gave us what we needed to survive right from the beginning, but we wanted more because we are of a selfish nature! Chill out!!!!! Take a vacation. Go to the beach. Go to a park and watch a squirrel climb a tree. Spend time with your family and read the Bible! God gives us all we need to satisfy us!!! In the Bible!!!!!!! Now that summer is coming up you need to get out and enjoy life!! Ok enough preaching!!!!
I won't keep you much longer, I just want to tell you the good news!! I bought both of the movies that I've been tying to get the past few weeks! Hooray!!!!!! The movies I got came from Amazon.com. You can get movies cheaper there then in a store! I got movies that were supposed to be $20.00 dollars EACH(which would have been $40.00 dollars plus shipping which is $3.00 dollars per idem the total coming to about $46.00 dollars. I got them both for only $28.00 dollars!!!!! That also includes shipping costs!!! Ya man!!!!!!! Just incase you have been wondering the names of the movies, they are Moondance Alexander and Love's Unfolding Dream! Well I will talk to you later!!! Love you all!!

Again, you amazed me and entertained me with your posting.
I was right there with you and loved to read it, amazed at your deep thinking and entertained at your wording. Babydoll, keep up the writing and you will become a great author. There is no doubt in my mind of that fact.
Thanks guys!!!
Lauren, What a wise young lady you are. My prayer for you is that you never stop seeking His face.
I live in the city, but I like nature & the out of doors. I'm somewhat envious of where you live. Next time you get to see the deer, take an extra peek & thought for me. (not the one flying through the air that your mom wrote about!)
God Bless!

Great advice. This is not something the Filipinos need to be told. They practice it. They are event focused rather than time oriented. We in the States often think quicker is better but that isn't always so. Although as we try to get our visas, I do hope for the quicker!
Hey Lauren,
Maybe you should be a speaker and a writer. You would be very good at it. I can't wait to see you on the sixteenth.
