Updating...

I decided I probably should updat before this year ends. So here it is:

Have you ever built something up in your mind and it's not really there? I hate that.

These holidays feel very weird for me. Normally I'm love them and I feel so excited about everything. This year they're going by so fast and everything is so emotionless. It's sad.

I looked back at who I was a year ago. I'm not the same person. I'm older, more cynical and hopefully wiser and less immature. That's debatable. I have grown up a lot I think. Although I'm still prone to moments of pure craziness. I feel like I was so stupid then, which is funny because I'm still a little girl, but all the silly little trivial drama that used to fill my life is so unimportant now. It's hard to find what is truly important now.

Well, this was a depressing post. I hope all your holidays are fun and filled with love, family, joy, and true happiness. I don't think any of this makes any sense but oh well.

Love you all,

Raye

Otter pops, sandwiches, and God

So today I had a crazy revelation. I was looking at this box of otter pops.

And then I got this. The little characters are otters. And they're called Otter Pops.

 I just got that. Did anyone else not know that? Or is it just me?

Today, we were at Fry's and there were little yummy bread samples out. so I got a few. And then Nina got some deli turkey. So I stole some and got two little sample breads and stuffed the turkey in between. Then she got some cheese so I added that to my little sandwich and then enjoyed a delicious treat. It was grand.

So Beth's post reminded me of a story. At school one of my classes' doors is really heavy and, being the weakling I am, is incredibly hard to open. So this one day I was walking toward the door and I was a little down and didn't have that great of a day, and I was looking at that door thinking, "I really don't want to open that." And just as I got near it, some random kid just yanked it open and kept walking. I tswung open widely and was open long enough for me to slip inside. He didn't go in or even look back. Just opened it and kept walking. I was like "WOW." It wasn't a prayer or anything but it showed me that, no matter what, God is always mindful of us and our thoughts and desires. It's amazing.

I have read about the days of old
About the men who followed You
And how they saw the supernatural
And became the chosen few

So I come before You now
Tearing off my earthly crowns
For this one thing I have found

I want a faith like that
To see the dead rise or to see You pass by, oh, I
I want a faith like that
Whatever the cost, I'll suffer the loss, oh, I
I want a faith like that

I'm not looking for a miracle
Signs and wonders or things thereof
I caught a glimpse of what You want for me
And what I have is not enough

I read the story one more time
Of those who gave to You their lives
With no fear or compromise

I want a faith that can move any mountain
And send them to the seas
I want a faith that can break every stronghold
That keeps You, that keeps from me

And I want a faith like that
To see the dead rise or to see You pass by, oh, I

I want a faith like that
A faith like that
