Resently I've been finding myself eating just to eat, not specifically b/c I'm hungry. I guess that is normal being an American, but it's not when it comes to being a christian. I've known for forever that being a christian doesn't mean that I'll get funny feelings or cry everytime I'm at church or wanting to "feel" God. Being a christian is so much more than feelings. I have to remind myself everyday that if i want to become closer to God i have to work at it. James 4:8 says "come near to God and He will come near to you." If I run to God in prayer or though reading the bible (His Word) I can rest knowing that he is close to me. He is just waiting for me to me to chase after him like he has been chasing after my attention since the day i was born. I think alot of people don't realize is: yes, God has given us free will, but He is still waiting for us to want to be friends with Him, He's not going to force us to talk to, love and worship Him b/c that is how He shows His love for us. Though not forcing us. I got back from summer camp w/my youth group (H2O!) a few weeks ago and God did some amazing things in the lives of students (physical, emotional and spiritual healing!!) but nothing really crazy happened to me personally. Prob. the most major thing that happened to me was just realizing that "We will hunger for what we feed on..." -Nate Ruch. If I am constantly seeking God and wanting to be close to Him there is no possible way that I can feel far from Him or in a dry time!
Just wanted to share an event in my life,
hopefully it has some benifit to you as well,
peace and love, Heidi :)

First Blog Post!
Going to start off by saying, i have never done this before and might not continue to....depends how it goes. (just being honest,haha) A while back i posted to my facebook page, "should i start a blog?" and i guess the resounding answer was "Yes!"; from the few that actually responded. :) i also recieved a comment saying i should start a Vlog (video blog) and i might try that also.
I'm going to make this one short and sweet....I figure that no one even reads any more than a tweet or a text message let alone blogs these days; so idk why i have an option to type out a long message hoping that i'm not a total loser and people read it. And yet here i am typing away.
About me: I consider myself an interesting character to say the least. I can't really place myself in a catagory like "goth", "punk", "preppy"...although people i know prob. can and do. The only catagory i can put myself in is "Jesus Freak" b/c alot of people i meet think i'm crazy cause i actually enjoy going to church and i'm there at least 3 times a week resently. I'm also giving up a year (ten months to be exact) to grow closer in my relationship with God and serve at the church where i'll be. But aside from that; i'm super outgoing, mostly b/c i have trained myself to be so. yes i am the first born in my family so that has a little to do with it but still, walking up to people you don't know and saying, "Hi, i'm Heidi!" and trying to start a conversation is pretty bold in my opinion. more about me...I try to be funny. my success rate of jokes to laughs is prob. 2/1. 50%, not bad i guess.
I wanted to come up with a cool blog name, i was trying to figure out something that rhymed b/c i thought it'd be smart but all i could think of was dumb stuff like, "Heidi's hmmms?" "humble Heidi" "haha Heidi"....idk :) if you have any better names let me know.
So the point of "Thoughts by Heidi" is just me typing out thought about random stuff that is happening currently, in my life, the lives around me, or the world in general. Every post will most likely be a little different depending on the subject matter, ect. so get ready for some awesome blogging, haha.
If you want to know more just ask, i'm not going to tell stuff like: i live in * town and i usually hang out at * b/c i don't want creepers stalking me...ha, yah so...
that's it for now, first post done, thats my thought for the day,
Heidi Out!
