In All Things

At times the world seems to cave in and almost colapse on you. It is in times like these that we must deny the strong self-will inside of ourselfs to try and fix things on our terms, our way. We need to give up ourselfs and put our trust and hope in the Lord. If we would do that on his time instead of our own we migh tspare ourselfs some of the sorrow and agony. He dose not promise the load and the road to be easy, but he dose promise to always be there for us through it all. In all things he is there for us. Knowing that he is there helping us makes the going eaiser. It is better to carry the yoke of Christ than the yoke of our own sin and demise. In all things we must put our hope and trust in Christ.

A Verb

Love is a verb. Not just a emotion or a way of dicription but an act shown all the time.
Love in a relationship is more than sayin i love you every morning and evening. It is Helping with the dishes, picking up after yourself, opeaning the door for that person, picking a flower for them, squezing their hand in encouragement, helping them in the little things, and not just in the rought times, bringing them breakfast in bed in a spur of the moment idea, Being the first to apologise after an argument, keeping their favorite shirt or shoes clean, consoleing after a rough day, laughing them up when they are down, sacrafising your free time to spend it with them.

Love showed twards friends is walking with them to class instead of taking the shortcut, visiting them when they are alone or sick, calling them in the middle of a boring summer, letting them cry on your shoulder when then need a shoulder, cautioning them when you think they might hurt themselfs, giving them a ride even if it is a littel oout of the way of oyour destination.

Love in general, to all people is obvious but we often neglect it. Picking up the package of macaroni th elderly lady droped in the store, helping some one shorter than you reach something, helping someone pickup the contents of their shopping bag that had just broke, giving someone the right-of-way on the street, moving someone out of the way of falling boxes, helpign someone carry their many packages, showing common curtisy to everyone you meet.

Love is a verb.

Don't

*Dont be scared of what may come. Face life head on, and hey, you never know if something wonderful is waitin gfo ryou just around the corner.
*Dont wait for tomorow to wish you had done it yesterday.
*Dont sit there wishing you could just get up and say what you mean. The first step to anything is taking that first step.
*Dont get caught up in the flow of the every day norm. Break away from your security bubble and create something new and excitingly different.
*Dont sit trying to be avoided in a conversation that shows hypocricy and injustice to the truth. Sit up straight, look the spaker in the eye and make yourself heard loud and clear for what is right and true.

~*One good deed done on your way can, for the best, change everyones day*~

Worth the Hard Work

My chior is doign a fundraising program for the kids who want to go to New York City to sing in Carnegie Hall called Rent-a-Kid. People can rent a pair or more of us who are willing to work to do work such as mowing laws, yard work, sweeping, washing windows, washing cars, and such.

Today me and three other girls and one of the girls brothers went out to a house south of the Wynochie Dam to RAKE the couple s WHOLE front and side yard that totals about a little over 2 acres. We first raked away all of the rocks and sticks from the dirt (there was no grass. It still needs to be planted.) Then we took piles of fertilizer/top soil and raked piles of that flat over about half of the yard. We raked for seven hours and were still not done. Going back tomorow to finnish it all up. All the while it is 105 degrees outside.

That is what kids do when they are determined to get somewhere. I and 13 others are willing to work our way to New York while the other 15 are putting their hopes alone in sponsors and their parents to get the funds to be able to go. I know ill have the money by the time we begin to pack next spring. All the hard work will be worth it when I walk up those steps and open the doors of Carnigie Hall to experience what few have ever experienced.

And, hey, I actualy liek the work. It dont bother me on ebit. Im just glad God invented gloves! :-)

Dance!

I think it is so great to just be all alone in the house with no one around. That way you can put in your favorite CD and just dance! You don have to be the greatest dancer. Dance fo fun! Jump, twirl, spin, jig, or just bounce around the coutch! No ones there to tell you that you cant dance, your just having a blast and jammin to the music!
...Ofcourse you wanna check out the window every so often to make sure no one walks in on you while your attempting to moon walk on the piano bench! lol. Everybody loves ta dance!

Is Watermellon good for the skin?

Just had a watemellon fight with my best friend. It was relly fun but i got watermellon everywhere!...almost:-) It was fun. It started out as a eating contest to see who could eat their side of teh watermellon the fastest. I was ahead but she cheated(it was acceptible tho) and we fought over the husk the husk slit and it sloshed away from there. But i smell like mellons! ... is mellon good for your skin?:-P

A beautiful day

Is it cloudy? So what? Its georgious! You are lesslikely to get sunburned and its a pleasent temp! Is is sunny out? Yeah! Its dazling! You can get a great tan and go play outside with friends! Is is raining? Alright! Its good for the gouround(no brown grass) and you can dance in the rain! Dont complain. It migh tbe the best day of you life. You never know. Every day is a beautiful day. Dont complain about the weather. You cant change it. You might just want the clouds when you wanted rain but if it was rainy you might witsh it was just sunny! Go on with your day being thankful its not raining eggs, or be thankful the suns not any closer to earth, or thankful that the cluds arent just polution! And everyone says Amen! Have a great day!

First tase

I will be getting my first taste of being on my own for the next three weeks. Mom and brother will be gone, dad will be home but i am on my own in the mornings and evenings and have no transportation anywhere before 12 am and after 5 pm (unless of course I call a friend to pick me up...unlikely.) I am dreading the extended aloneness and not having my mom there to console, counsel and encourage me when I need it. I am getting my first real taste of fending for myself and really get to understand the dicipline it takes to get on alone. With most friends busy, I only have my ever faithful fish who never leaves me...lol. I will be drawing closer to the Lord in all things and I know he will not let me down. I am anticipating great things for this summer..thought i dont see anything but the droll of my normal old cage. I will be steping out on nothing and finding something there. Stepping out on faith. Im gonna be more than fine and OK. Im gonna do great.

"The way i see it" a cool quote i found

They told you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What they failed to tell you is that it is best seen with teh eyes closed. What you look like isnt important. What is important is who you are inside and the choices you are making in your life. - Tiana Tozer 1992 Paralympic silver and 1996 broze medalist, womens wheelchair basketball.

Think about it. Its true. Its nice to look nice or even pretty, beautiful, but the real importance is who you are inside and the choices you make everyday

Who we are.

Its amazing, you know, how people think you are one way but your really another? You want them to see how you really are but they either wont or cant. Around most people in your life you can truly be who you really are and they acept that and life goes on! But for a few in your life they are tuned to how they think you act or should act. How you work, how you live, what your prioritys are, and even what makes you go on, get up and face the day with determination. Even what modivates you. All we need is patience, a kind or, even lenient heart to put up with these few, and trust that God will set things right in his own good time.
