dude...it's been a month since i've updated. i must be changing...the frequency of xanga updates is becoming...less frequent. either that means:

a. i'm occupied with somewhat more important matters, such as striving for good grades

b.  i would get less than 5 hours of sleep a night (i survive fairly well on about 5.5)

c. i'm...ahem...on myspace

d. nothing really interesting is happening in my life that's blog-worthy

Of all the choices, each could be true, but letter d holds the most close to reality.  Except one interesting thing did happen...my first dance! haha. ya know, homeschoolers never really did that prom stuff. don't get me wrong, i love dancing with my sisters, but it was never something to get a corsage over. so it was a masquerade ball. quite a delight i must admit, a fundraiser ball, actually, for the summer missions trips happening at new life church. amy is going to india!  pretty excited about that. but the ball was a great evening of fun. i went with my sisters and two classmates as a part of the Happy Single's Club (we ended up dancing with some air force cadets tho' :). we all five went to the broadmoor hotel to take pics beforehand. good times.

it was a beautiful day.

 this is a beautiful verse:

    "So we are Christ's ambassadors,

           God making His appeal

              as it were through us.

We [as Christ's personal representatives]

      beg you for His sake to lay hold

   of the divine favor [now offered you]

         and be reconciled to God."

{2 Corinthians 5:20, Amp.}

Reading this verse the other day just got me so excited. We are Christ's ambassadors, His representatives, reconciling others to God. Reconciling others to God. What a thrilling privilege. What a high calling. It's a lot of pressure sometimes, honestly. I just hope to be continually cleared of myself so God can flow through. Let's see how many we can reconcile to Christ.

have a beautiful weekend, everyone.

[and just because i've never disabled comments before, i'll give it a shot :]
