| Hi people |
[May. 5th, 2008|03:16 pm] |
I think that having three different blogging/networking accounts is too complicated and I ignore livejournal the most.
So I prolly won't ever be on here.
Just thought I'd be honest about it. =)
Get Facebook, peoples!!! |

After much deliberation:
I don't think study abroad in Greece is going to happen this summer. If I had been seriously considering it for a while now or knew the exact cost and everything, I would have already applied to the program. But alas...
It's too last minute and i feel so rushed, no time to pray or think.
I can't do it on a whim. I'm a person who weighs the pros and cons meticulously and over a long period of time and then goes with her gut. After the analyzing and reasoning and picking apart everything about it.
I'll still gather the facts and logistics of the process, but I think this was a test run for maybe a trip next summer. I don't know what country the program is going to, but maybe it'll outshine Athens, Greece.
I knew I had a queasy feeling for a reason... Perhaps something better will be in store for me.
Well, good news is I'll be home this summer and saving some $$! |

| Some verses. |
[Feb. 18th, 2008|09:51 am] |
Eph 5:1-20
"1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them.
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."
15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. "
Eph 6:10-18
"10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."
Ephesians is pretty much just an amazing book. Read it. |

Share with me the blankets that your wrapped in
because its cold outside cold outside its cold outside
share with me the secrets that you kept in
because its cold inside cold inside its cold inside
and your slowly shaking finger tips
show that your scared like me so
let's pretend we're alone
and I know you may be scared
and I know were unprepared
but I don't care
tell me tell me
what makes you think that you are invincible
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
please don't tell me that I am the only one that's vulnerable
impossible
I was born to tell you I love you
isn't that a song already
I get a B in originality
and it's true I cant go on without you
your smile makes me see clearer
if you could only see in the mirror what I see
slow down girl you'rw not going anywhere
just wait around and see
maybe I am much more you never no what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone I can be anything
just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone anything I promise I can be what you need
tell me tell me
what makes you think that you are invincible
I can see it in your eyes that your so sure
please don't tell me that I am the only one that's vulnerable
impossible |

Deadwood Dick is over.
I'm glad I never have to deal with the costume nazis again (unless I have to get everything returned and accounted for on Tuesday... >_<) and I get to go home like a normal person at 3 ish. And I can start working during the week and not weekends.
But I'm sad because it's as if the final countdown to the end of my senior year has started. this was the "Tee-minus 5..."
elf dance will be 4
ensemble's play will be 3
prom will be 2
and senior stuff/graduation will be 1.
It's coming so quickly. Not that I'm dreading it, I can't wait. But still, an entire era of my life will be over. I can't imagine...
Anyway, back to Deadwood Dick
It was a blast. It was ridiculous. It was long.
=) Good stuff.
Cool pics on Tiffany's LJ. But no cast party pictures *sadface*
Going to Palm Springs tomorrow and Monday, so haha to you ppl going to school! =P I'm so tired... |

| 1 Timothy 4:12 and committing to it. |

1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
This sums up what I'm going to follow in my life. I need to remind myself of this verse all the time because these four things are what are going to give me a fulfilling life and prepare me for trials and get me through life here on Earth.
I want to show that despite my age I am wise because I have the Holy Spirit in my heart and actively living through me. I am only 17, but I have a timeless God working through me and I want to reach as many people in my life as I can, so I better start now.
I will do my very best to glorify God through my words, from the jokes I make to the encouraging words I give to others to how I respond to conflict, parents, etc. How I present myself to others affects their views on Christ and I want to put Him in the light He deserves and not muddle it up by being insecure, inappropriate, or impassionate.
I want people who have never met me to know that I serve the King of Kings with my life, whether by volunteer work or a ministry or the way I act towards others. To be clear, I'm not going to do these things to bring myself glory or to draw attention to myself but because I know it's what God wants me to do and it's the way to show my love for Him by being obedient.
I have to remind myself constantly why I believe what I do and why I've decided to commit my life to serving the Lord, and it's hard sometimes. Things distract me and people or ideas confuse me and try to throw me off the course. Sometimes it's just the fact that I'm struggling or having a hard day, but no matter what I can't lose focus or doubt Him. He is the only constant in my life and I have to remember that, so I want to help others keep the big picture in mind and not let the little things (or even big issues) get in the way and only think about the present. There is something so much bigger out there and it's ours after this temporary life, and I need to stayed excited and pumped up about that because it's not a mediocre prize for living a life pleasing to God: it's eternity with him and his blessings!
Finally, the toughest one, I need to set an example of mental and physical purity. I can get so caught up in the fun things in the world that I let my standards slip in what I allow into my brain, what I repeat out of my mouth, and what I put on display for others to see. I sometimes get the mentality of needing to loosen up and go with the flow to show others that you can be a Christian and still have some fun like you used to... but I know that's bull. I have to struggle with the same things everyone does including denying myself what I want. But I have something else that will help me: the Holy Spirit. And I know it will give me strength when I can't muster up enough by myself because He promises over and over again that He's the one to rely on.
Basically, I'm proud that I have the most powerful thing in the universe living insider me, and I'm not going to pass up my life being a luke-warm Christian because that's no way to live.
I'm 17, I'm fired up for God and I'm not going to let anyone or anything take away this desire to please him in everything I say, do, believe, and take in. |
