Quotes

As some of you know occasionally i like to put up quotes. Here are two that i really like:

love conquers everything. you dont get to choose, you just fall.
& sometimes you get this person who is all wrong & all right at the same time.
& you know that you love them so much except sometimes they drive you completely insane.
no one can explain it & the reason it's so confusing is because its love.
but if love didnt have any challenges, what would be the point?
After reading Pascal's theory:
The Fact that we as humans keep striving for perfection, for truth, (even for a God),
proves that somewhere, Somehow, Sometime, that we were a part of it.
A part of perfection, a part of truth and ultimatly a part of God.

Post!

A week of school gone by.

Lots of homework so far. Found out i have to disect. 3 or 4 Amazing teachers. A class that lets us have poetry slams with a teacher that supplies the coffee.

I've plugged into that creative writing class. And it could be 3 hours instead of one and a half. For all i care it could be all day. I love it. If i only had creative writing, english and yearbook all day everyday I would be happy.

I'm really missing camp and mexico. I'm missing being part of some sort of team. I missing Amanda like crazy and if she left for IU already i'm going to be quite upset. And i haven't been upset for a while.

I won't buy a word you sold me
I'm going places you never dreamed about
So tired of stupid stories
I'll write a song the world can sing aloud

We'll break the mold they gave us
We're going places they never dreamed about
Jump in and join the chorus
We're writing songs the world can Shout out loud!

A song that the world can sing- A change of pace.

This band is Awesome. And they are playing with showbred in Chicago and i want to go so bad.

Haha so basically i just rambled.

I had a great vacation..

And i can't believe only 2 more days until school starts or should i say until all the drama starts

This is my desire.
This is my return.
This is my desire.
To be used by YOU!

God- USE me. in the hallway. at the lunch table. In the Gym. On the yearbook. In Drama. On the bus. In class. On my papers. On my tests. with my friends.

God- be there. From the time I wake up until my head stops thinking. When i'm in tough situations. And when Good is all that is coming my way.

God-Give me. Kindness. Compassion. Strength. Courage.Power.Control. Love. Selflessness. Wisdom. ( Not that you haven't already given me EVERYTHING in the world)

God- You are. Amazing. Awesome. Wonderful. powerful. wicked fierce. MY love. Everything.

God- thank you for. my life. my health. my friends. providing me with everything. EVERYTHING.

Life=?

" '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

Matthew5:16

In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heavenGod tells us to let our light "shine" so that they may see him.

Sometimes I get frustrated that 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 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?

I've been thinking for the past week about what i can do!. What God wants me to do. And at first i got upset because i don't know what i want to do with my life or what career i want to pursue or any of that. But then i realized that i don't need to know now. And i'm fairly sure God doesn't want me to know now. All I need to know is that there are kids at my school. Kids at the church. Kids in my community that don't know God. And as of right now thats what i need to focus on.

I need to Love people. Love my friends. And be different. Show people that i can lead well. Show people that i get to where i am by doing the right things and in the process Glorifying God.

God:::help me be more like you this school year. I know its going to be hard. Use me!
