UFO or not, Jesus is still coming.
So yesterday I spent the early afternoon with Johnny, Annie and Jojo. It was so nice. I haven't hung out with them in a long time. I didn't get to spend that much time with them, but it was nice. Especially to play with my niece.
Anyway, we were talking about the second coming and how people need to be prepared, how the second generation will have to be very strong Christians, etc. Then Johnny was like.. did you see the video of the light that hovered over Jerusalem? And I was like.. no... So he showed me and Annie.
I'll post all the videos below, but they're all on a gizmodo blog here too: http://gizmodo.com/5750864/is-this-ufo-caught-by-multiple-cameras-a-real-alien-spaceship. I'm no video forensic expert so I'm sure it could be fake, but it looks real to me.
So take it as you want, but I believe that our God is able to do something like this and that it could very possibly real. He can send down a pillar of fire to lead his people, and a star to lead them at night, so what's a little hovering light to Him? He created the world, He can do anything He wants. After I watched the video I felt like a small veil was torn from my eyes and from my mind. Like I'mm slowly reconciling our idea of the world and our world with God's world combined.

Complete and utter, priority one love. What does it look like? Obsession. I think.
Why? Well, I think that's kind of love God wants from us. He's selfish that way and jealous if we aren't. I think obsession gets a bad rap here on earth because the truth of the matter is, no human is worthy of obsession. You can be obsessed over someone for many reasons, but say it's a case where you put them on a pedestal. There's no way they will always live up to it, and when the obsessor (is that even a word?) is let down, they go crazy and try to kill that person for letting them down or something.
However, God can never let us down. And even if we think He has (though we really just don't know any better), we can't kill Him anyway. No human can handle complete and utter obsession. The results are never good for either party (obsessee/obsessor) because we were not created for that purpose. We weren't created to be obsessed about anyone else but God.
I dunno. I could be completely wrong, confused, or missing something, but that was just a random thought I had this morning.

Another thought I've had since last night is.... "Step aside 'WWJD?' bracelets. Forget that. What I need is a 'JESUS IS COMING' bracelet!!" as a constant reminder of how little time we have to make our time here matter. I'm so serious. I'm actually kinda considering turning my desktop wallpaper black with the words "JESUS IS COMING" in bold white letters running across the screen.
People get ready. JESUS IS COMING.

Been MIA the last two-ish days... kind of. More internet-wise. Haven't really been answering e-mails. Haven't really checked facebook. Haven't really done anything productive. I feel like I just shut down. I hope I have no trouble powering back up for work tomorrow. I did spend a wee bit more time talking to and spending time with my parents though. Got to talk to my long lost brother, play games with him and watch a movie with him... virtually via xbox live. The movie thing was pretty cool. We were both watching a movie on Netflix via xbox live and we could talk to each other, comment on the movie, ask questions, etc. Though there might not be a person sitting right next to you, it beats watching a movie completely alone. Now I better understand those TV and movie scenes where two people are on the phone watching the same channel. I guess it is normal, but I've never really done that with anyone.
My mom's worried about me and my singleness. I told her I'm okay with it (and I really am), but it makes me feel like I shouldn't be... like I should be trying or something, but I don't want to. I told her I just haven't met the guy, not the right guy at least, and I truly don't think I have. I dunno if it's true or not, but I feel like when he comes along.. I won't be able to ignore my heart and I'll just know. I'm not worried, but that's half true. I feel like I don't have enough time. Not worried about finding someone, but worried that I won't get married and have kids while I still consider myself "young". I know I shouldn't because God's got it all laid out already.. but my human, calculating, logical side does.
Haven't really talked to Connie in a long time. Kinda sad. I don't know why. Ever since coming back from Nica I've felt kinda disconnected. I don't think it's her. I think it's me. I feel disconnected. I wish she could just teleport here, or I there, so we could catch up.
I need to go sleep.

God really made all of us unique and with a unique purpose.
What is a missionary? What is a mission field? It varies for everyone, and not one is greater than the other. As long as you do what you believe God is calling you to, there is no right or wrong. Every Christian should be a missionary, and every place seen as a mission field.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. -Romans 12:3

Thinking "out loud"...
Maybe I should not only study Spanish... but major in it?
This will probably go on the list of ideas I have, but never follow through on. I'm still trying to figure out what's next for me. My spirit feels young, but when I think about how old I am and how many years things take.. I feel too old. :

On a somewhat related topic... there's an e-mail that I really need to finish writing and send to someone. If I don't try, I've already failed, right? It's something on my list of ideas that I really want to follow through on, but keep putting off.

From Sung's Facebook note:
This is a story told about four people named, Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was one important job to be done.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about it because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it. Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.—From Meetings that Work by Alexander Strauch

Goals/vision for 2011 and beyond
Near Future
simplify my life
take Spanish classes
figure out my work situation so I can...
move to QueensFuture
may or may not have a full-time job (I want flexibility in hours)
have a simple home
get involved in various street ministries
be more fluent in Spanish so I can...
work with Spanish speaking people
be able to visit Nicaragua more frequentlyFuture Future
stay in Nicaragua for longer periods of time (weeks or months. I'm not sure if I'd ever live there full-time)
work at Villa Esperanza in any capacity
be totally reliant on God for all my provisionsThis is a bold step to post this up because I don't know if I'll actually do everything I want to do. I hope to at least begin the process of doing all of the "Near Future" stuff by 2011 though, but I know it ultimately depends on God's will, timing and how distracted I get. While I'm not adamant about working at JetBlue anymore, I think I do need a stable job for a while just so I can save money for the future when I won't, pay for Spanish classes and so I can still travel to Nica or something.
The biggest challenge this year will definitely be to figure out how I can move to Queens though.
I know God is going to change things. Some of my original plans have already changed in my mind. In the end I know I'm just going to go with the flow and whatever happens, but I think I need to have somewhat of a premeditated plan just so I don't wait around for something to happen and at least keep my butt moving.
