The smell of spring

Ahh the smell of spring.. the smell of rain....I love spring...its my favorite time of the year... My favorite weather.. my favorite holiday...Easter... and its when school lets out for summer...

spring brings life...thats probably why God had Jesus die for us in the spring..Cause Jesus brings life to us just as spring brings life to vegatation...

I saw two very amazing things today. One was a rainbow. but the other one was way cooler. I saw the sun shining down on me even though it was pouring down rain. It's probably not that uncommon in fact I seen that happen last year on the Tennessee trip but I didn't really recognize the symbolism behind it.It kind of showed me that even when your having a really rough time don't neglect to search for the good that comes out of it or the little Joys you experience. I know that so often i get caught up in my own problems that i don't share the Joy i feel when someone else has something good happen to them. Or im so caught up and bitter about the situation that if something good happens to me i automatically take if for granted and put it in the back of my mind.

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by Grace you have been saved through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of Gods..

Gilmore Girls and my two best friends

One day until spring break...Yay... Can't wait... Friday night Hilary and Moi are going to the all about you event at church. Afterwards Jeremy Law is talking the Bible Study leaders out to go hang. Hopefully we wont get home that late and Hilary and I can have some much needed alone time just to talk. It's been awhile since we've actually been together without anyone here. Saturday were getting up and Heading over to Laura's house for a cute little spring fling for all the women leaders. No Diapers.No testosterone. Just chocolate, Bonnets and Bingo. After were heading to Church. Hilary gets to teach and her Love is going to be there. i gotta go support my girl. Then more chick time. I'll probably call Garrett sometime in the Midst of all of that cause we haven't had a good talk in a while. Sunday Hil has to teach again. And i'm kinda bummed because i'll have no one to hang out with because Matt is going to be in Hawaii.. Lucky... Ashlee is picking us up after church to have our bible study.. the last one *TEAR* for a whole year... we get to eat Turtles. they better be good and the kid that sold them to us better go far in that basketball tournament. We are going to give her our gift. Sorry you can't know what it is its classified information. Monday hopefully I can go with my mom to work to earn a little cash and then she can take me to the mall to buy some much needed jeans. after work she can take me to Jeremy's house for bible study. Tuesday I'm not doing anything at all. Oh wait yes i am i'm SLEEPING the whole day don't call me or awake me. Wed. i thought i was getting my permit but i can't *tear* so i get my Passport instead (for MEXICO) yay... then i have to go to the dentist.

Words to live by

" 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-- From A RETURN TO LOVE by Marianne Williamson

Matthew 5:16
In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven

God tells us to let our light "shine" so that they may see him. Sometimes I get frustrated and I can't find purpose for my life. Sometimes I get upset because worship is my light and there are things that God doesn't allow me to do because I am a sinner and I'm prideful and God knows that at this point in time I won't honor Him. Which is all I want to do. That's all I want my life to be for. I know that I have to die every day to live for Him. God created us for a purpose. He didn't create us just so that we could take up space, breathe up all the air, and eat all the food. Why let your life boil down to dragging through school.He gave us a brain .Why not use it? Coming home and laying on the couch watching T.V. He gave us the World Why not roam it? And sleep walking day by day doing our useless routines and boring chores. We need to Wake up. Get moving. Show people that God is in us and not necessarily that God is in us But that we are a part of God. Part of the bigger story. I know that my purpose in life is to do something AMAZING. As is for Your life. Our God is God of Gods, Lord of Lords, the great God, mighty and Awesome(Deut. 10: 17), so do you seriously think that He created us for the monotonous lives we're living?

Black Tuesday and the New deal

So right now I'm at school. Were supposed to be reseaching a topic for our great depression research reports.. Yet I'm already finished with research cause that's the way I roll. My Tuesday has got off to a shaky start. I still don't feel good and My mom and Brother were arguing today. The only thing I have to look forward to is Hilary's this weekend. Its going to be fun. Oh yeah and the fact that its supposed to be 65 on Thursday. Yesterday night I found out that I'm not getting the two babysitting jobs I was supposed to have so I get no money for spring break but that's okay cause my moms taking me to get my permit next week and possibly for a driving lesson or two. Like I said I'm doing this research report and its due after spring break. So I guess that's what ill be doing Monday and Tuesday. Got my room cleaned last night. Like amazingly clean. My grandmother would probably cry if she came over right now. So I made a deal with my mother. I would keep my room at least this clean until the Atlanta trip if she gave me 20 bucks to spend in Atlanta. She had so little faith in me she said sure under the condition that if I don't keep it clean I have to spend a WHOLE Saturday cleaning the house. UMM doesn't sound fun for me. The bell is about to ring my loves.

Whoremonger = ?

Yesterday was alot of fun. very tiring but very fun. Sat. I got to church at like 4:30 to dance. So i danced. then me and candace decided we wanted to do something so Ryan said that we could come over. i called my mom and told her and said that I was going to spend at candace's house. So long night short Candace and I were up until 4 oclock just to get up at 7 to go back to church and dance somemore. Went to Starbucks with Ashlee shes moving in almost a week *tear* then went back to church to see this guy>>>> Craig Gross the guy from xxxchurch.com.. It was great.. He was awesome. and J Aquila did an amazing job on singing "dirty little secret " then we hung out for a while and came home.. nothing really that exciting. spring break in less than 5 days. i'm so excited yet everyone is going some where except me.. well my brother and james are anyways.. I get to stay in Indiana.. yay at least the weather might be fairly decent. So i get to miss the first night of the five series at lifeline cause i'll be in Atlanta but its okay. i am actually going to go clean my room can you believe it? good cause i can't either. I will talk to you all later.. or maybe sooner for those of you that are cool.. well you're all cool some are just cooler than others..or fatter(hilary)
