| This is not my home...... check out my other blog.

| finally, another entrySo, I thought I should write
another entry...just in case anyone actually reads this, haha. It
has been a busy week, but the Lord's grace has been so
sufficient. He is good! I also had a lot of caffeine today,
and Kendra will be sad that she wasn't here for 'Hyper Bethany' this
evening. I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow which will mean I
will have more caffeine, and basically it'll be that cycle till Tuesday
when my students have their performance. It'll be a great lead up
to NA! Actually -- onto to something a little more
meaningful than my caffeine intake. On Thursday I'm going to meet
with one of the principals at Cardinal Gibbons High School. I
applied for job teaching dance their and he called to set up a meeting
(I'm guessing it is a first interview, though he never called it
that)....I would appreciate prayer!
Changing the subject again -- I have the best friends in the
world. Will tell you why in the next entry, and maybe I'll get
fancy and put some pictures of them :)
So, now that it is late and the caffeine is wearing off, I am going to end this post...
You're calling me to lay aside the worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind and find a hiding place.
Worthy, you are worthy.
I open up my heart and let my spirit worship yours
I open up my mouth and let a song of praise come forth
Worthy, you are worthy.
Of a child-like faith
And of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a holy life
And of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love
You are worthy
(Unashamed Love)

| This is my xanga site, really the only purpose for it is to post
comments on my friends xanga sites...funny thing is, as soon as I
registered to be able to comment, most of my friends stopped posting on
their xanga sites and in addition to that I was convicted about
spending too much time trying to keep up with all my friends' blogs
instead of using the time to actually correspond with them on a
personal level....SO, most likely no one will ever read what I just
wrote...but for some odd reason I wrote it anyway.
In case anyone does read it, maybe I should put something good on it (something resembling a real blog entry)...
In my time with the Lord this morning I was struck by this thought:
God's word says, "The joy of the Lord is my strength". I think I
often forget this...no, let me re-phrase...I do often forget
this. I often think, 'I am feeling tired and weak so I am lacking joy', not 'I am tired and weak because I am lacking joy and I am lacking joy because I am forsaking fellowship with the Lord and not believing his promises!'
(btw, I was feeling very tired this morning, anxious about various
things I have to do/haven't done/should have done and feeling condemned
that I was feeling anxious and regretting that I had not been spending
much time with God in the last week and lacked the vision/purpose for
seeking God that I had a couple of weeks ago.) But, God's grace
was extended to me in many ways and his grace has a transforming
effect. First, his grace was extended through his word (as
related above), then through a conversation with my mom...who helped to
see how a little planning can help me find more time to spend with God,
then through a sermon CD by Phil Sasser on "The Perfection of
Sinners"... Thank you Lord! You are my joy and my strength!
