You know how people have a Life Verse? I have more than one and they are all special to me for different reasons and God has taught me numerous lessons through them over and over again. One He's taught me many times previously but that has applied to my life these past two weeks is Phillipians 4:13:

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

These past two weeks I've had a lot of school work and had to memorize tons of information about a subject that I'm not very good at in preparation for a weekly test  and I wasn't sure how I was going to do that. But, being my stubborn control-freak self, instead of turning it over to God, I stuck to my own plans and tried to do things on my own. But after a long while I cracked: I wasn't remembering any of the information no matter how hard I tried and the quiz was already tomorrow, I was cranky, discouraged, and stressed, and it takes a lot to get me stressed. So I did what I should've done in the first place: I turned it over to God. I was forced to humbly and meekly accept defeat and admit that I couldn't do this on my own and that I needed His help; He was the only one who could help me. I opened my Bible to a random page and Phillipians 4:13 jumped out to me and I suddenly felt as if this huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders! I felt determation and strength to face whatever came my way. I studied the whole night until smoke came out of my head and I aced that test the next day and studying has been a lot easier since then. This whole experience made me feel happy, loved, grateful, and any other good emotion in between. God will always be there next to me in my time of need even if I'm not willing to accept it at the time; He will never turn His back on me, no matter how many times I do to Him and He will always accept me with open arms when I come running back to Him.

So my sister came back from California this morning. Woop woop! She took the most gorgeous pics! Including stores like Tiffanys and Prada! Oh, my!! The most GORGEOUS dresses and skirts and purses and shoes.. and everything!  One day I will own one of them. :) You know, when I'm famous and rich.   But, in the  meantime, she got me the cutest pink "Coach" purse from Chinatown and Prada pins with purses on them! I will wear them proudly!!  Ah, one day I will go to California. She didn't see anybody famous. I made her swear she would take a picture of them if she did, and an autograph if they were really important. Even if it was Paris Hilton, heck, I'd sell it on Ebay and get tons of moola. My parents left this morning for Marco Island for their anniversary, so it's just us gals. Woop woop! Tonight we're going to rent a movie and stuff our faces with popcorn... at least, that's what I plan on doing. Oh, and I got a cellphone. Oh, yeaaaah! Silver/grayish Razr. I named her Lola. And she's my baby. So, if I don't have your cellphone number, give it to me. :)

Funny Convos...

Me: Oh, yea, vaca!!
Rebeka: Heey! I'm not a vaca! Well, at least I'm not a caca frita!!
Me: No, I'm not calling you a cow, I meant vaca as in vacation!
Rebeka: Ooooh! Well, you're still a caca frita

So, I kinda returned back to Xanga, after all this time! This is my first entry... even though I'd had a couple of 'first entries'. I don't really have anything to say... today's been kinda a low-key, chill-ax day... I'm not too fond of those days, but, oh, well. It hasn't been that bad, especially since I woke up at 1:00 P.M. It felt great!  Before you accuse me of being a bum, let me just say that I stayed up till 3 A.M. reading. I can't for tomorrow night! My older sister Sarah is coming home from Puerto Rico; she's been gone for 10 days. I should be used to not having her around since she's taken so many trips and she works and goes to college, but I still miss her... I miss being with her and having her around... And of course I also miss her transportation Well, I'm off!! <3
