| Well, I suppose I should update if for no reason but to update. Nothing of much interest has been going on in my life lately. School has become routine once again. I'm in the girls ensemble for this area which means I get to go to my friend's house every Monday after school. Makes Monday worth waking up for, which is nice! School is going really well actually, I'm becoming better friends with a number of people.
Spiritually? My eyes have been opened incredibly the last two days or so to how insensitive and negative I am. My deepest desire is to be more like God. One of my friends is really special that way, you can see there is something different about her and it makes you want to spend time with her. I want to be like that. I want to be so incredibly different you can't help but notice it. I get so frustrated sometimes because it seems like an impossible goal. I keep messing up, over and over again. But I have to remember that God forgives me and will help me to move on. I made it a goal today to drastically reduce the negative things I said or thought about a certain guy and I did, with God's help I only said one not nice thing to/about him. I hope I can keep it up!
Oh, and one more thing. I witnessed a miracle today. My friend and I have been praying for someone a lot over the last year, he was really struggling with his faith and stuff last year and we have seen a lot of change in him. This morning he led our Bible Study and it was just so amazing to me. He is living proof that God answers prayer! Thank you, Jesus! My prayer: Lord, please bless whoever reads this today, whether it be one of my friends or someone who accidently stumbles across this. Let them see you shining through my words Holy Father. Thank you for you love, and for the freedom to be able to write something so openly praising you. You truly are amazing, God, and I love you for it. | | |
| Every Little Thing- Hawk Nelson I saw her yesterday
And I never felt the feeling
Like the one I felt today
And now
It's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
Cuz I never could find the words to write you
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reasons
Says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life can be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I'll say good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She sits there all alone
She's reading from the chapter
That she sometimes calls her own
And now
She's taking over me
This girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams
She's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason
Says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life can be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
Say good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
Just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night
And she's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason
Says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life can be so simple if we all just learned to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
Say good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
Just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night
I've been meaning to post this for a while actually. I love this song. It sums up who I want to be as a woman of God, I want to be so much more than ordinary, I want others to see the difference in me | | |
| Well, I guess I'll update for the sake of updating. I'm getting kind of frustrated though because I feel like nobody every reads this,but anyway. Lena's bro came home on Sunday and he's doing pretty well. The rest of the stuff going on hasn't really resolved yet though. School's started and so I'm kinda busy with that. I'm enjoying it though, for the most part it's pretty fun and I'm becoming better friends with a lot of people which is awesome. God has definately brought me out of my shell already and I'm loving it! The last few days I've been feeling stressed, more emotionally than anything else. I cried for half and hour last night and just couldn't quit. It feels like there's a lot going on, but there isn't really. So I'm not sure what's up with that. But if you actually read this, please pray for me. Not a lot has been going on though, so I guess that's it. | | |
| Well, today has been rather interesting I'd say. I got really great news this morning, I close family friend is pregnant. Praise God! But this evening my best friend called to say that one of her older brothers had an accident with his quad and broke his arm and cut his face, requiring stitches, among other things. He was flown to a hospital 4 hours from here and there is no family with him right now. Lena is going up there tomorrow morning. She and I went for a walk tonight so she could talk and w/e and I just wanna ask prayer for their family, there are a lot of struggles there. And I want to ask prayer for myself as well. There's not a lot I can do right now besides pray and I have a pretty hard time doing nothing! | | |
| Hey, just wanted to let you guys know I got a pretty awesome new layout and you should all check it out, haha! Love you guys :)
Edit: I don't like how it leaves space if your entry isn't long enough, therefore, I will put in a picture!
That's a kinda blurry picture of our other kitten, Snowball. We got her a week after Tiggy. She's not very photogenic though :( | | |
