Busy

So I've been a little busy with school and stuff.  I've also been knitting a lot lately, for charity because I gave up knitting for myself for lent and am only knitting for charity for 40 days. Nothing really has been going on, just school, been babysitting.  Also I haven't posted in a while because I can't really think of anything worth typing up and putting on here. I had an idea the other night, but then I forgot. sooo yeah. love yall.

God's love

 Happy Valentine's Day everybody  Don't get all hung up on it though. Let's remember who's love is the most important. God gave His son for us, that is what I call love.

"your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth." -Psalm 26:3

"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies." - Psalm 59:10

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”- John 13:34-35

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. "

-1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Who do you love?

-Audio Adrenaline

Love love love
Love God far above you love
Yourself your car your girl
Your job your friends your house
Your world your life
Life life livin
The only true life
Is the act of giving yourself
In true devotion
Much much more than a romantic notion

Random happenings, a prayer, and a song.

 Random Happenings:

It's Mindy's birthday. It's Friday!!!! Happy Birthday Mindy!! I love you sooo much. *hugs*. I've been sick this week, missed school Wed., went to the doctor and got medicine, but I feel much better now.  It's cold outside, yay! I can put a title on my posts now, awesome.

A Prayer:

Lord, please, help us to pray for those who have not found You, give us the words to help them, help them to see how You have made changes in our lives. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Please help us to be more like You, help us to find some little spot of sunshine on this cold dark planet. Help us to make the world better while we’re here. Help us to show the world that we are Christians, i.e. Christ-like. Give us this day our daily bread. We are your children, please be with us and comfort us. Help us to remember that our earthly struggles make us stronger, and that this life is temporary. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. We have all sinned, but You gave Your one and only son to die for us, when He had done no wrong. He gave His life for ours. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. We know that you will not present us with more than we can over come, but please Lord, help us to stand strong in the face of temptation and do what is good and right in Your eyes, help us to become stronger and to fight the hedonistic lifestyle we are surrounded with. I pray for those in need of Your love and guidance and comfort, for there is no one greater than You. We are nothing without you. In the Lord's precious name I pray. Amen.

And a Song:

The Hammer Holds- Bebo Norman

A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find

So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds

And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see

So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds

The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man

So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain
And hurt a little, hurt for me, my future is so bold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds

This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my maker holds

Well, I have something to say, which is why I made my xanga in the first place. Yeah I know, about time. lol.  I love you guys.

God has a plan for us, we may not know that plan or even think we want that, but God knows what's best for us.  As much as we pretend to know everything, as much as other people think they know what is right for us, God is the only one who really knows. He is omniscient and omnipresent. (woot SAT words in there, I'm good) We just have to trust in Him, trust that He loves us and will carry us through the hard times (He will).  We all struggle at times, and that's ok, it's normal, even the most dedicated people do. 

 I was just thinking the other day, and I can't even begin to fathom how someone couldn't believe in a Higher power. Who would you go to when you're scared? hurt? worried? upset? How would you be comforted, or ever really know you're loved? Most of all, who would you thank? God loves us, even though sometimes, maybe He shouldn't. He wants to be close to us, and to hold us, to comfort us, and He wants us to trust in Him and lean on Him. Forget the earthly things, and focus on riches that will last forever.

Lord please be with us through these times, help us to keep going and continue to share with others Your message and Your love, and not to forget it ourselves, for there is nothing greater than You, and no love greater than Yours.
