What Is a perspective?
Perspective- a way of regarding situations or topics etc.

Day 22 (6/7/10)

I would ask please keep my family in prayer. My moms aunt has a tumor on her stomach and when they tried to put her in surgery, it was so big they couldnt remove it without damaging surrounding organs. Sometimes in life, things just flat out suck. And theres nothing you can do to control it. Its not your fault, but you still have to suffer. The tensions are so high right now...I dont even know this lady and I feel like breaking down...

Day 21 (6/06/10)

Inertia- Physics. The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.

I've found that there is more than one source of "inertia" in our lives. The physical type of intertia we all learned about in fifth grade, and the spirtual kind. More commonly reffered to as "Mental inertia". And you guessed it, thats what i'm going to be talking to you about today. My dad was reading me something about this the other day and I thought: "wow I have GOT to blog about this."

Mental Inertia is when you invision something good in your mind (mental) but you dont have the motivational push to get you there (inertia). This is a very common problem among human beings. Its human nature to wish to feel safe. This is a good thing, but at the same time, we need to take some ort of initiative to get where we dream of. The problem with humans is were always afraid to take that first step. I encourage you this week to rid your selfish insecurities, and get to were you want to be.

Day 20 (6/5/10)

20th day vlog!!!!

Yes I am very proud of myself too. And you guys arent going to have a boring vlog today, TRUST ME! It'll actually be pretty long. Anyways, I really hope you guys are proud of me too! although theres only like 3 of you following this.At first I wasnt really concerned about having alot of followers, but I sorta want people to follow it though. Im not sure. I think I might have a couple parts of this blog just to organize it because its so long, im not ADD you guys I just have alot to talk about.

SO the first thing I'd like to talk about is my field trip to the zoo yesterday.

Yesterday was National donut day, and at Dunkin Donuts, if you bought a beverage, you got a free donut. We had a delightful breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. :D (random fact: for those of you who didnt know, I LOVE Dunkin Donuts!!!)

Then on the bus ride there (FOUR HOURS LONG!) it actually wasnt that bad I enjoyed being with my friends. But since I woke up at five, I was tired. My friend Joseph let me borrow his jacket and fell asleep. Aylin and dani took pictures:

Then we got to the Zoo :) we ate lunch, and there were geese all around it was fun! We got to feed them, they wernt shy either. After that we started going throught the African safari part of the Zoo; it was really depressing, because the teachers shuffled us so quickly through everything. oh and on the way home our ghetto little bus broke down :(

But we had a great time. Now ive decided not to include the deep little section I was going to put. I'll save it for tommorow.

Day 19 (6/4/10)

Day 19...wow.
Its really hard to believe. It feels like yesterday. It reminds me how much time ive wasted. I could've really helped some people, I couldve impacted lives forever. I was way to concerned about getting out of school and being done, it sent my motives out of whack.
Live like your dying!

Day 18 (6/3/10)

Im SO sorry guys! this is gonna be the third sucky blog in a row! I really dont have time to do a good one, because i gotta wake up at 5 tommorow, were going on a field trip to the zoo! (pictures maybe?) but yah. GOSH! I hate it when this happens its like, I wait to the last minute, and you guys end up getting a crappy blog for that day! GOSH!
~Stacy Partin

Day 17 (6/2/10)

Hey Everyone :) Im at a writers block today.....I really have no idea what to tell you guys :/ I mean, normally when I have a crappy blog its due to laziness, but I really dont know what to say hear.... hm.

Day 16 (6/1/10)

So today was....well, it was interesting. It was kinda bitter-sweet, great and terrible at the same time. It was great because I actually was very productive, so that was great. But I just had to endure alot. im sorry this is such a short blog.

Day 15 (5/31/10)

Happy memorial day! Wow, cant believe its Day 15 already!
So today I went to a cook out at my youth pastors house. We were in the pool, and we all know the whirl pool, were you get everyone in the pool to swim one direction to create a current. If you try to go the other way, you get pulled back. Its totally impossible UNLESS you hang on to the wall.

God is your wall. Nothing is impossible with him. Nothing is possible without him.

I can do all things through christ who strengthens me
~phillipians 4:13

Day 14 (5/30/10)

So as I was lying in bed last night, a deep thought ran across my mind.
Who am I? How can I be better at the things I do? Why do I hurt people I LOVE? Where am I headed? When ever you create an account on anything, you usually have to fill out informations about yourself....*why* is that so difficult to do?

"You should know yourself better than anyone"

I dont nesecarily (spelling?) believe this is the case. I think a good percentage of the time, friends know us better than we do. And I know God DEFIANTLY knows us better than we know ourselves.
get to know yourself.

Day 13 (5/29/10)

So this will be just a real quick update. Today I saw a commercial for prayer....you read that correctly, A COMMERCIALIZED PRAYER PERSUASION! They were making people *PAY* to call a number for prayer. Promising them materialistic wealth and possesions in return. This world is so screwed up.

Day 12 (5/28/10)

So I know this is random, but, how come humans are SO afraid to show their emotions? Ive noticed people are ecspecially concious about it when it comes to crying.
Why are you embaressed to cry?
If you are, that is? And if you aren’t, why aren’t you embarrassed to?
I was wondering this after noticing how many people are so ashamed to cry in front of others. They’ll hide it and deny it and not do it, and I was wondering from you personally: why?
Comments/Facebook Statuses!

Day 11 (5/27/10)

Hey everybody :)
So lately Ive just been living. I feel dead. I *hate* this feeling. I feel like im just going day by day, always waiting for something. Im tired of waiting. And when Its finally over, I want to start over again. So WHY cant I just make the most of everything? Life is good. Take advantadge of it.

Day 10 (5/26/10)

Have you ever noticed when you are doing something you love you focus on that. And only that.
What if you had that same type of motive for everything?
Washing the dishes,
mowing the lawn,
doing school work,
imagine how much more effciently we could accomplish those tasks if we said "THIS is what I want to be doing right now"
We'd all have a much better mindset on things.

Day 9 (5/25/10)

Ok guys, i know yesterdays was a really stupid blog, and todays is gonna be to. But I PROMISE tommorows will be better. SOOOOOOO Sorry guys!

~stacy.

Day 8 (5/24/10)

Love your neighbor as yourself.
The "golden rule"
Weve all heard it at least a bazillion times since we were 3 years old. Today (or if its at night, tommorow) I challenge you to put it in action.
That is all.
~stacy

Day 7 (5/23/10)

Fear. Doubt.
Its something we've all been raised to live in. Whether you realize it or not, you are. Look around. Were raised to be overly concious of minor things that can possibly be a slight risk to us. My parents dont even allow me to walk down the street alone due to potential incidents that will probably never happen, such as me being abducted. Its human nature. Its logic. Logical thinking kills you. Am I saying you should jump of the edge of your house onto a pile of rocks? No. Thats not what i'm saying. Im talking about things were called by God to do, yet do to our selfish insecurities, we'd rather stay where we are.

"Boldly following God means we can't fear loss, cause fearing loss will hold us back from ever taking risks... " ~Alyssa Barlow

Faith is like a flashlight, you can only see so much, you have to keep walking to see more and more. Everything might not make since at the time. But you just have to trust that God wont let you fall. (he wont)

"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." ~Hebrews 11:1 (New living translation)

"Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”
Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
“Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink.“Save me, Lord!” he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed."
~Matthew 14: 22-33

Did you notice when peter started fearing, and became aware of his potential risks, he fell in. Keep your focus on jesus.

Day 6 (5/22/10)

Alot of people dont take prayer seriously, that bothers me. In some cases, prayer is a chance for people to show of what a big vocabularies they have, or to gossip about people. Most people arent really even sure about *why* we pray.Which leads us to a very important question: why do we pray?

In a world filled with chaos, we pray because prayer is the antidote to anxiety. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:6-7. We pray because prayer alleviates our weariness. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28.

So yah, thats it for today.

Day 5 (5/21/10)

Well guys, today is my fifth consecutive day of blogging once each day. When I started these I knew there would come a time were I would straight up *not* want to do this. I didnt know it would come so soon. But Im not going to stop. I actually like doing this its just.......i don't know. Its just the whole "procrastination" thing. But I'm getting better. I challenge everyone whos reading this (like all 3 of you....lol) to do something and stick to it. It doesnt *have* to be a blog, but feel free to do one. And dont give up (the hardest part).

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23). If we put our hearts into our work, as this verse says to do, we will probably find it difficult to procrastinate too much.
