Day 70 (8/12/10)

Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.    - Phillipians2:14-15 


This verse pretty uch speaks for itself, I find its so true though, if you don't complain, or argue, or question, things go so much easier! 

Day 69 (8/10/10)

So if you guys remember yesterdays blog when I mentioned:

Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” – Deuteronomy 1:29-31   


And I thought about when I was little, my dad would hold me by my hands and walk around with me like that, at first I'd squeal and shout with delight, but then, I'd think "oh no! what if I fall!" but my dad would say "Its ok, i gotcha!"


And I find that so true with us, and our life, why do we fear falling if we know our father is holding onto us? If even our earthly fathers don't let us fall, you can be darn sure our ultimate heavenly father wont. So why in the world are we so anxious and fearful?! Hold on and enjoy the ride, and don't waste time on things that don't matter.

Day 68 (8/10/10)

Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” – Deuteronomy 1:29-31                      

  it seems that life constantly gives us reason to be terrified. When we feel that we have mastered one season of life, the season changes! Yet when we realize that it is God who carries us we can go past the fear into faith toward God. He is a faithful father who will carry us all the way until we reach our final destination. This can give us the courage to face our internal and external adversaries and go forward.

          

Day 67 (8/09/10)

Ok so for the 3 or 4 people that actually read this, You know I've gotten of track with the blogs, just wanted to let you know im starting from here and will keep going.

Day 66 (7/19/10)

Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!  - 2 Corinthians 10:12 

I've been having this issue lately, I tend to compare myself to others, then God reffered me to Day 63 , I am my own unique self. I should be comparing myself to Gods standards, not theirs.

In my mind, I always think:

"I bet ____ see's me as I see ______"

The first blank tends to be someone that is more popular, or higher social status ranking than I am. The second blank usually tends to be someone lower ranking/ annoying.

But those people really don't matter. Explain why they don't matter in tomorrow blog :)

Day 65 (7/18/10)

So the other day I was thinking about how I don't really know my brother, but I've lived with him every day for 13 and a half years; sounds silly, huh? But then God revealed something to me:

He's been with me everyday of my life, but I didn't know him until this past January. I still don't know as much as I should now. Just thought that was interesting...

Day 64 (7/17/10)

Just wanted to let yall know I have a boyfriend. :)

Day 63 (7/16/10)

So theres been a couple of times in my life were I've felt I had no real friends, more of acquaintances, pals, people I can only joke around with, but not dare to share any issues with. Well in this past year God has supplied me with real friends. Friends that I can trust. Friends that are loyal. 

So yesterday I took time to thank him:

"......And God I thank you for giving me such reliable friends I can go to, their awesome."

"you know your awesome too!"

"What? No! I mess up so frequently, how can *I* possibly be awesome!?!" 

"Your not perfect, you know nobody is, I've created you how I want you, don't worry! You're just as much of a blessing to them as they are to you!"

Wow. Now thats *awesome*. Not macaroni and cheese awesome either ;) (inside joke) 

"I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and my soul knows very well." the word 'fearfully' means: with great reverence and heart-felt interest and respect. The word 'wonderfully' means: unique, set apart, uniquely marvelous. WOW! No wonder the psalmist bursts out with exuberant praise in this verse. He realized the great love and concern that went into his unique and very individual creation. Your one of God's greatest creations.....don't forget that!

Day 62 (7/15/10)

So today we got icecream, and rented a movie!  happiness!

Day 61 (7/14/10)

So today I experienced something so hypocritical I can't even communicate the disgust. So I was invited by a friend to go to their youth group, their youth pastor had a sermon that was long and made no real point. Basically, though, it was about welcoming new people, you know, attracting them so they'll come back, and feel loved, right? Well nobody, including the youth pastor talked to me afterwards. I felt SOOOOOO LOVED........NOT!!!

Day 60 (7/13/10)

Happy day 60! :)

Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. -Ecclesiastes 9:10 (New Living Translation)


I Just cannot get over this verse, I think I mightve mentioned it awhile back, but I feel it's relevant to all of us. Maybe some of you hardcore blog readers remember the time when I went through procrastination. Well, I still do! Its not as bad, but my biggest problem is doing something and not doing it to my best ability, like these blogs, im tired of slacking off......

Day 59 (7/12/10)

So i'm sure by now you've all heard Kris Allen's song "Live like we're dying", if you haven't, your probably living under a rock. GET A LIFE! Just kidding.... Anyways, It wasn't until the other day I actually looked at the meaning of the song, and I feel it's completely relevant to our lives.

I'm sure if you knew you weren't promised another tomorrow you'd tell someone you loved them, or tell them about your faith.

Well friends, the truth is, we aren't promised another tomorrow. Do what needs to be done and don't be ashamed. Make the most of life thats borrowed.

Patience in Non-violent wars-Day 52 (7/07/10)

bSo for those of you who dont know, I always have to get the last word in and argument. I cannot be satisfied with walking away undeclared the winner. Which usually gets me in trouble.

Whenever theres a problem, a fight arises, which brings violence. We get frustrated when someone doesn't see eye to eye with us. So we shut out the other person, get angry, and say things we don't mean......which gets us in trouble. And DOES NOT bring glory to our savior.

"Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires"                             James 1:19-20 (New Living Translation)

Remember this next time you get angry.
