| Lord, who am I?? The world we live in tells us to look out for ourselves and that life is all just a game. That to be happy we have to in a way act selfish and do what we want to do. I know God is constantly trying to teach me that living a life in self pursuit is leading me astray. So many times I try and compare myself to other people. I seem to rely on the opinions on others rather than speaking up and forming my own ideas and decisions. I am so easily swayed by what others people are doing or saying that things that I know are wrong for me, start to look pleasurable. I think at times I have convictions that are more conservative than others and at times I start to question myself and wonder if I should just follow the crowd. But God has been trying to speak to me to stop looking at others for direction and conviction but to look to Him and his Word. I think the reasons I have such low self esteem in my own opinions is because I haven’t truly understood who I am in Christ. I’m still trying to figure out who God has made me and my prayer is that I’ll be able to see myself through Gods eyes, and not through other peoples. When the bible talks about a “woman of character” and a “woman that fears the Lord” that’s what I want. So many times in my life I can be so impatient, I hate waiting for anything and I always want it now. But I pray that God will give me patience and a heart that truly seeks after him. |

| The Bachelor  
Tessa won!!! Okay so I just started watching this show 3 weeks ago and I am addicted. Tessa has been my favorite and I am so happy she and Andy are together. I didnt even want to go bowling because I didnt want to miss any part of it. Now I want to try and get all of the old episodes and watch them. The crazy part is that I'm totally against pretty much everything this show is about. I mean...Naval officer Andy Baldwin dates 25 diffent women. He's kissing them and its so crazy! And it's so sad when he's telling both girls he loves her. Bevin was so heart broken. I have been crying during all the shows. It's so emotional..and yet I cant stop thinking about the show!  
here's the home page if you want to check it out.... http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelor/index

| | | | The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the
"Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the
questions.
Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last halfdozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6 . Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and
special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with
Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones
with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They
are the ones that care.
