I'd keep it short, just a verse reference or something. Probably Ephesians 4:1 since it's one of my favorite verses.  "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
This is what I want, actually I think it's what everyone really wants, a life with meaning. That's probably why the purpose driven ( Read more... )

This is probably the weirdest thing about me, go ahead and laugh. Ready?  I have "sheer blonde" shampoo. Hahahahahaha.

Ok, did I lure you in, did I get your attention with the strange title and opening line? Mwahahaha.  That was just a trick to get you to pay attention( a true trick though).  Happy endings, the "good guy" winning in the end, why is ( Read more... )

I cannot imagine Heaven, and I suppose that's a good thing, if a fallen mind could picture the full glory of God revealed every second of every day I'd be in trouble. I can't imagine worshipping God forever with brothers and sisters from every country and time period in the history of the world....
Tennis is almost over. It's kinda sad.
I really ( Read more... )

It's true, sometimes, not too often for me (but that's because I'm...meh), it's just great to be alive, to have friends, family, people in general. Plus God is always able to do great things, because he loves us. This is something I struggle with, trying to understand why God would love me.  But that's the whole point of grace isn't it? It's ( Read more... )

I ment to write this as soon as I got back, I really did, but I got really sick on the bus ride home from Mexico.  I have this really bad case of the stomach flu and all I've done in the last 24 hours is sleep, shower, sleep some more, shower, and write this.  I hate being sick.  Still, praise God it didn't happen while we were in Mexico. 
Ahh ( Read more... )

I honestly don't think that I have ever hated a class, anything at school actually,  as much as I hate UTT. Even chemistry was better than this,  I'm serious, I feel sick when I walk into that classroom. His system for picking partners is rigged, we all know it, so what the heck? why not just make us do the freaking projects by ourselves? ( Read more... )

"O, that this too sullied flesh would melt , thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!  Or that the everlasting had not fixed his canon against self slaughter!  O God, God, how weary, stale, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!  Fie on't, ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed." 
That is one depressed guy.  I don't know why ( Read more... )

"The twists and turns of life have a way of reminding us-- we aren't home here.  This is not our homeland.  We aren't fluent in the languages of disease and death.  The culture confuses the heart, the noise disrupts our sleep, and we feel far from home.
And you know what?  That's ok."-----from Traveling Light by Max Lucado.  This passage really hit ( Read more... )

That pretty much sums me up right now, I don't feel sick, physically. But emotionally/psychologically I'm feel like I'm slipping down a muddy hill in a thunderstorm. I feel so lost, and unworthy to be found. I hate myself, how can I think about being a missionary when I'm so messed up. I wanted what I read in Rain Psalm but I never found it.

I'm ( Read more... )

I don't know what's wrong with me,  but I'm so depressed. It's really bad, I can't shake it, and it's not because of a lack of trying. I've read the chapter in Future Grace several times, I know all of the promises in God's word. Even that doesn't seem to help, I feel so unworthy to be blessed the way I am, and I know it's true, but that I should ( Read more... )
