| I love Jesus, there's no easier way to put it. He loved me first, so you can talk to him about it if you want. I had the criziist ( "crazy" said like an indian man would, who is trying to speak English ) day. I can't go into to detail, cause I'm hungover on sleep deprivation. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. But i'd figure that I should post. By the way. PeterMccarthy.wordpress.com will probably be my place of postification while I'm in college.
So try to sleep Seattle, cause it's past your bedtime.

| Yes I am like a bloomin' onion. Life is unfolding before my very eyes. Speaking of eyes, this week I have gained a new appreciation for my 5 senses. I don't know why. All I know is that life would be kinda miserable without them. But God gave me 5 senses so I'm rejoicing. The last few weeks, I have had impaired sense of taste. UHHH, I hated it. Anyways, I've been doing some thinking... something I like to do, and the Lord dropped a sensitivity on my heart to desire "SPIRITUAL SENSES"!!! Saying God I wanna hear what you hear, and feel what you feel specifically regarding the lost!!! As he laid this on my heart I realized how I am to value my senses. God didn't just give me my senses for me. He gave them to me so that I might:
1: be a vessel of glory for Him.
2: that I might be able to communicate the very message of life in a tangible way with my fellow man! Which is being a vessel of glory for Him.
Invade me Jesus!!!
Last night was prophetic presbytery at CFC, and as the prophets were uh prophesying I began to pray. I prayed that the Lord would loose the chains that have bound, and not just speak calling, but change lifestyles. As there is a call to holiness, there is also a call to sacrifice and a call to obey! Sometimes I wish that I could do more for people.
Somebody reminded me yesterday regarding a job that I applied for, that if the Lord doesn't have this in store for me, that He'll close the door... I just need to move on and say "It is well with my soul"! However, I know that if I get this job, PEOPLE WILL COME TO KNOW JESUS!!! So until he closes the door, I am absolutely believing that this is his will for my life. On the other hand, are there not people who do that same thing with really bad Ideas, and say... well... if God doesn't want me to do it... He'll close the door. In certain cases this does happen, and often times God has already said no and we keep on going with ignorance! Yeah Yeah, preach it Brotha!!! All this to say, that he have nothing to do with writing the will of God. God has his will and we are to do it. There are to many people that believe that whatever they want to do is the will of God! That's man's will, and unless man's will is submitted to God's will, we'll have issues, and you might have to write your will. God is sovereign, and yet merciful. He's loves to grant us the desires of our hearts. But he also loves it when we seek his desires for us and walk in the way that we SHOULD go. His plans are perfect, and all his ways are just! HE IS GOD! Thus my life unfolds like... a BLOOMIN' ONION!!!

| This weekend has been quite awesome.
Saturday was Upward, and UNC beating DUKE. Sunday was... well Sunday. But Today, yes today being Monday, was very awesome! This evening our home school mock trial team took it to court ( yes, I'm courting people ). We had an awesome time. It was so much fun. It was our first venture into a courtroom, and a fun-filled-edge-of-your-seat case against a well prepared public school. How amazing. So can I be honest? Ok I will. Everybody loved me. But what made it awesome was that I came away knowing that I am loved by God, the giver of grace! We cannot lean on man's approval, nor can we judge ourselves. We don't even have the right to judge ourselves. I came away from this experience not just knowing that I'm loved by God, but actually holding on to the basic truth that God loves me! Beyond measure, beyond imagination, beyond what people may say or think. This just makes me want to love more, even when people don't deserve love. What is love anyway? "And this is how we know what love is, that he would lay down his life for a friend." I wrote a song today, a song expressing my heart of thanks to a God who has given me life, and yet could take it away any minute if he likes as he holds it in his hands. It was a song of incapability, a song of realizing that life has value because God has given it value. I'm not sure exactly what God's doing with me... but I like it!

| I haven't slepped like "the real" Peter McCarthy in days. My back has been a pain, and in pain every moment.
Currently I'm stuck at the computer in the kitchen because the rest of the rooms in this house are occupied with sleeping beauties. Of course nobody is in the bathroom sleeping, that's not to say however that it could be a possibility in the near future, as it has happened occasionally in the past. Ha. Yeah, by the way. Please ignore my lame punctuation skills, or lack there of.
Two of sisters my have had birthdays this week. Olivia turned 13 on Friday, and Naomi turned 1 yesterday.
Yesterday after Upward Basketball, Olivia, My Dad, and Camilla Sinclair drove to Elmira, NY for a Toby Mac, Jeremy Camp, and Matthew West concert. I'm sure that they had a good time. Olivia called me late last night to tell me that it was "cool". I was only up because UNC and DUKE were facing off in an ACC regular season game. That game had so many awesome implications for each school. UNC ended up winning, and with it they get: #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, ACC regular season championship, #1 seed in the ACC tournament, and The biggest bragging rights in college sports. Because they are so awesome!!!
In other news, life is passing by with flying colors. I have to wear glasses ... all the time. I don't really like it, except I can see, which is quite nice. Some of you may know that I started a young guys prayer meeting/ Bible study, and thats going really well. Tomorrow my compadres and I are competing in a Mock Trial competition. Which is loads of hard work and fun. I would say that describes this season in my life. It's a pain at times, and somewhat burdensome. But overall it is very fruitful and enjoyable.
Ok, I've basically said nothing, and written a lot at the same time. So I hope nobody minds. But hey at least people know what's happening in my life now.
