Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT

God is Good. :)

today is a sunny day. it's so nice to see sun after a cold few days. it's just a constent reminder that darkness will always be deafeted by the light. that makes me HAPPY!!!!

hhahah. all that sounded weird. but that's ok.

here's a thought off the top of my head. ok....i can't think of anything. so i'll just...go.


http://www.gfa.org/gfa/newsupdate050906?motiv=WA65-G1PS

okee dokee...i Think i have alot to talk about today. let's begin with last night. Jr.High Youth Group...(dun...dun...dun...)

the kids were kids, they weren't acting like "trying to grow-up into adults". K and M were really Bugging me. (just on a side note...me and the pastor are conversing through e-mail about the ministry meetings...silly guy.) OK!!! let me vent this out...IT WAS JUST STUUUUUUPID PLAAAAAASTIC WRAAAAAP!!!!!! stupid particles of atoms...just like your skinny little bodies...and it won't give you an ulsar or a high allergic reaction...and you won't die...and everyone else won't think your dumb...GET OVER your high-profile what-ever it is thing that you've got and be just a little corroprotive for ONCE in your life!!! Please.

ahhhhhh.....that felt a little better. girls are so weird. i could never and will never understand them. and one thing i will never understand is why God put me in the possition to deal with them. it's not like i can sit down and say...you know...i love to put on makeup and dilly dally with my hair and put on pretty clothes and flirt with boys and have crushes and talk about guys and whatever else they do!i've never...ever...done any of those...well, except for the "pretty clothes" thing. and i MAY have had a crush. i'm not to sure about that. but that's beside the point. the fact is.. the Lord has placed me in a possition to where i can't be on the same level as these girls...no matter how much i want to try. i feel completely stupid when i sit down and say "soooo....." and i can never think of anything else to say. thay must think i'm some stupid college person. and...no matter how hard you try to encourage me in this it will be futile...i've already made the conclusion that these girls need someone who can at leaste Pretend to understand what is going on!!! i'm some blind and stupid when it comes to little jr.high girls. BUT....the other girls that are in the yg, i can totally understand. well, some...

ok...so maybe God just wants to show me what these girls are like. i'm sure one day it will benefit me...but until then...i'm just going to have to deal with there dumbfounded attitudes during games...the lesson...worship...and small-groups. sad days ahead...

so, other than the dumb "plastic wrap inccedent" everything went...ok. the game was fun. i made a fool of my self by sqealing behind allicia vanmeeter when jake came running at me with a discuusting evil queer look on his face.

Ok...so i am now listening to some calming music so that I don't get an ulsar.

anyways. delving into this deep, horrendous stuff won't get me anywhere. and i think i'm just exploding this situation far bigger than it really is. so lets move on.

i spent all night last nigh...until like 2 in the morning...reading a stupid book that made me cry. i'm telling you guys this so that my evil secret will not be hidden anymore. yes...i cry when i read touching stories. (i'm so dumb) the KIDS DOG DIED!!!!!! what was i to do!!?!?!??! it was soo sad. at one point in the book, tears were just streamen down my face, uncontrolably, and i just started laughing. i imagined what it would've been like if someone like joy or my mom or brent walked in and saw me. i'd be so embarrassed. hahahah. it's pretty funny now. the book was good...but very sad in some areas. anyways.

today i get to sand down our walls. were going TO PAINT!!!!! THE INSIDE!!!!! it's going to be a ligh, off-white color. and then were going to tear out our disgusting rug and put up tile...(lanoleum tile...) it'll look nice. no more vacuuming. sweet stuff. :)

ok. so that's that. those were the things i wanted to talk about. have a good day whoever reads this...

here's a really awesome verse! :)

If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble.
Ecclesiastes 4:10 NLT


i suppose that's why i go to church and why i've chosen the friends i have. if i weren't able to go to church...and speak to all the friends i have there...and to hear brent preach on stuff...i'd lose site to why i'm even a christian. i would sit down in front of my Bible, all alone, and realize that being alone isn't the greatest thing...i would lose heart and probably falter. i'd give up. the people all around me are so crucial. they encourage me and show me that i'm not alone. it's like elijah! he did some amazing miricles. the antion of isreal had turned away from God and was worshipping Baalam. elijah, told king Obadia, to gather all the prophets of Baal, and meet him on a mountain top. so they did. elijah, then told them to take a bull, prepare it, put it on wood, and call to there gods and have them burn up the cow. they cried to there gods all day...at one point elijah was mocking them...they began cutting up there bodies, in hopes that there blood shed would give there gods glory so they would cast fire down...but they never did. the next day...it was elijah's turn. he called to a bunch of servants and told them to fill up 4 huge barrels of water and dump it all over the meat and the wood. he had them do it 4 times and it ended up filling up the trench that was around the altar. then he called upon God. and God sent down fire and burned up the meat, the wet wood and the water in the trench. once the people saw this they bowed down and recognized God as God! then elijah had them grab the prophets (about 400 of them) and he brought them to a river and killed them. powerful story isn't it!!!! it's awesome!!!
but then jezebel heard about it and told elijah that..if he weren't dead by a certain time....that she prayed that she'd be like baals prophets. (that shows how devoted she was) so elijah fled. and hid on a mountain and wanted to die. he wanted to die..even after the Lord destroyed all those prophets

DARN!!! i have to go to church now..but i will come back and finish this thought later! :)


Elijah is such an awesome man. set apart for the glory and honour of God to do is work, and whatever God commanded. i was just reading 1 kings 18 and 19. two very awesome chapters!

We know that [trials] are good for us--they help us learn to endure.
Romans 5:3 NLT

I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as LORD.
Hosea 2:20 NLT

those are some good vereses that i wanted to share. :)

http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/poe/works/tt_heart.html this is an awesome story written by Edgar Allen Poe!! "The Tale-tale Haert." i suggest you read it. it's good. :)



I Met My Master

I had walked life's path with an easy tread, Had followed where comfort and pleasure led; And then by chance in a quiet place
I met my Master face to face.

With station and rank and wealth for goal, Much thought for body but none for soul, I had entered to win this life's mad race-When I met my Master face to face.

I had built my castles, reared them high, Till their towers had pierced the blue of the sky; I had sworn to rule with an iron mace
When I met my Master face to face.

I met Him and knew Him, and blushed to see
That His eyes full of sorrow were fixed on me; And I faltered, and fell at His feet that day
While my castles vanished and melted away.

Melted and vanished; and in their placeI saw naught else but my Master's face; And I cried aloud: "Oh, make me meet
To follow the marks of Thy wounded feet."

My thought is now for the souls of men; I have lost my life to find it againEver since alone in that holy placeMy Master and I stood face to face.

this joke is halarious! :)

Blind Pilots

Two men dressed in pilots' uniforms walk up the aisle.Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog,and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines startup. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke.but none is forthcoming. The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the end of the runway. As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air.The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge ! that the plane is in good hands. In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says, "You know, John, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."

funny eh?
