"LEAD TO ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I AM"

This is one of my favorite verses. Mainly because it is so often my prayer. What is a favorite verse of yours and why?

JUST ONE...

GOD SAID NO...

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:13:31 GMT

I got this in an email from a friend. It is another easy post since I'm still not really well. HOWEVER, it is a worthy post and a timely one.

God Said No

I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, "No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, "No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, "No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned."

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, "No. I give you blessings; happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, "No. You must grow on your own but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, "No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things."

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said, "Ahhhh, finally you have the idea

Student Life, summed it up well: LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS

Glad....

Since I've had a bad, bad migraine, I'm glad to have been tagged for the Name Game. Easy Blog.

You must post the rules before you give your answers. You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, post a new blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

A----Adventurous

N----Not one to be still for any length of time

N----Naturally creative

I tag anyone who wants to play that is reading this.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR SUPER POWERS BE?

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:07:50 GMT

Your Superpower Should Be Super Speed

You're quick witted and fast to act.
You're mind works at warp speed. From your perspective, everyone else is living in slow motion.
You get so much done, people have accused you of not sleeping.
Definitely not a couch potato, you feel a bit crazy if you're not busy doing something.

Why you would be a good superhero: You're be the first on the scene... and likely to finish the job before anyone else shows up

Your biggest problem as a superhero: Being bored by everyone else. Including other superheroes!

QUESTION...

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:19:58 GMT

One of 'our youth' (who is now in college) sent a text to Stephen and me today and told us she was writing a paper about us. I wrote back "should I be worried? LOL" (I shouldn't, btw).

This leads me to the question....If you had a paragraph (just a few sentences) written about you, what would you want it to say? Be honest. Be specific. I'm really interested in knowing.

JUST FOR LAUGHS...

I wrote a post then deleted it. I figured the couple of people that it was directed at wouldn't see it or care what I had to say. This pretty much expresses my feelings.

DON'T...

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 20:37:19 GMT

In the spirit of 'getting to know me better' I'm doing a post on "I don't".

Even though I'm southern born and raised, I don't drink ice tea or (don't faint on me here) coffee.

I don't think brown is the new black and even if it is, I don't care.

I don't know what it feels like to be truly hungry.

I don't always follow the rules. (Stephen says I only follow the ones I have to follow; although we can't really come up with any I have to follow as I realize there are consequences but..(Big surprise there, huh? LOL)

I don't like clutter or messes.

Eating ketchup with french fries is something I don't do.

I don't like being told what to do. (That's a big surprise to all of you too, isn't it? )

Stereotyping is something I don't like--especially when it comes to women/women in the ministry.

Unless, it's vegetable, I don't think soup is a meal. (it's a snack).

If you want to, play along and blog some DON'Ts about yourself.
