<span style="color: #660000;">"Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom." -Proverbs 18:1</span></div>
<br />
The writer of Proverbs is taking the time to emphasize a certain cluase in this verse. When I first briefly read this, my eyes drew to the words "through desire" - in which I took as a great principle of being thirsty and hungry to know more of God's wisdom. But upon re-reading it, I realized I had skimmed over a very essential part.... "having separated himself."<br />
This caused me to think... am I separating myself? It's great to have a desire and to be seeking God's wisdom and more, but unless I set time aside and <u>separate</u> myself from the cares and busyness of life, that's exactly what it's going to be: a mere desire. <br />
<br />
In college (and any time in life, really), I have found that it's so easy to get in the mundane routine of classes, lack of sleep, work, friends, etc., that our set apart, quiet personal time with the Lord can, sadly, become very minimum. Is the only time I do in-depth studies of God's Truth for a doctrines class? Or am I really setting time aside to beg God to show me new truths from His Word? <br />
<br />
How is my seeking? Have I fallen apathetic in thinking that I've learned all the "basics" of Christian living and God's wisdom? May we strive to set ourselves apart from <em>our</em> life, <em>our </em>cares, and <em>our</em> schedules to alone with God and dig deeper for His wisdom and allow it to become personal.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291848387811763342.post-4306730647292215572012-01-14T14:36:00.000-08:002012-01-14T14:36:24.926-08:00I'm Still Alive!... and Am Back to Blogging!! WOW! It's been so long I hardly know what to say!<br />
I'm afraid that old myth started coming true, <br />
when Facebook began to get big, <br />
the blogging world began to get smaller.<br />
<br />
I confess I have not set aside the time to blog,<br />
and yet so many amazing things have happened this year!<br />
As of now, I am picking up the pieces and attempting<br />
to start keeping up with my blog again!<br />
<br />
I am still studying Music at West Coast Baptist College.<br />
After many challenging and different circumstances,<br />
choices, and events, I have seen the LORD work amazing<br />
things, provide miraculously, and guide my life like I never imagined!<br />
I am still planning to serve Him in full-time ministry on the mission field.<br />
<br />
Yes, college life is busy, but I am determined to not let that<br />
effect my ability to make the time to blog.<br />
Even if it's just a quick devotional, update, or news,<br />
I'm hoping to atleast keep up with it weekly. =)<br />
(don't totally hold me to that, though..... lol)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291848387811763342.post-51301859541153643072011-01-31T16:24:00.000-08:002011-09-30T16:00:09.011-07:00Stepping Out By Faith... Through GodSo God brought me through one semester of Bible college... <br />
and He has led me to another one.<br />
<br />
This morning, I read in Matthew 6...<br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;">That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."</span></em><br />
<br />
<br />
I wondered what it could have meant that Solomon, <br />
a man so rich & powerful, wasn't to be compared to a lily!?<br />
Throughout the day of pondering, the Lord finally opened my eyes.<br />
<br />
Solomon had it all.<br />
He never had to worry about food, finances, and friends...<br />
He never needed to rely on God to provide everything for Him.<br />
His life was comfortable, secure, and enjoyable.<br />
<br />
A small lily of the field is so helpless, unable to do anything.<br />
It's only source of life and existence is from God.<br />
It relies totally on Him for the sunshine, rain, and growth.<br />
...How does this relate to me, as a Christian?...<br />
<br />
I have to say, it's pretty scary, since I had no money to put on my first payment,<br />
my job only covers 1/2 my bill, and my classes have a lot of intense projects.<br />
<br />
But looking back, when I was so worried about His provision, <br />
I see how He actually got me through. <br />
So many times I doubted Him, wondered if He even heard my prayers or cared, <br />
and even considered giving up and choosing an easier path of a secular career. <br />
<br />
But after tears, prayers, and continually handing it over to the Lord <br />
(I say "continually", since I was always taking it back into my own hands), <br />
He finally showed Himself and provided the exact amount of money I needed. <br />
It was such a mircale, and it taught me so many lessons of faith.<br />
<br />
Even now, looking back and seeing His provision, I'm ashamed <br />
to say that I still have a hard time trusting Him to provide for me.<br />
I've always been the type of person to plan out everything, <br />
be sure to see my future clearly ahead of me, <br />
and make desicions based on logical analyzing.<br />
<br />
The Christian walk isn't all logic-following.<br />
(Our brains aren't to be compared to God's way of thinking, anyway!)<br />
If I can see the steps right in front of me, where does faith come in?<br />
<br />
God brings us to places where we are helpless, cannot see the next step,<br />
and are empty-handed. Why? Why does He do this to His children?<br />
<br />
Because it's when we finally let go of providing and planning for oursleves,<br />
that we become as dependent children of a loving Father.<br />
We have an opportunity to grow closer to Him, <br />
and to watch how He will provide.<br />
<br />
Isn't that amazing? That God cares to provide for me?<br />
If I always did things for myself, I would miss out on seeing God's miracles.<br />
<br />
He used that time last semester, and even now as I'm still scared,<br />
to teach me to let go of my pride, and fully lean on Him.<br />
He wants to use this time to nurture my relationship with Him!<br />
<br />
God doesn't tell us to do something, then make it impossible to do!<br />
He wants to do that 'impossible' through us.<br />
Not ME through Him, but rahter HIM through me.<br />
<br />
Then I realized... what an amazing privilage!<br />
Why in the WORLD does God want to use someone as sinful as me?!<br />
Yet, He does. And He WILL make a way!<br />
<br />
I encourage you, Christian friend, DONT give up on God!<br />
Don't be afraid to take that step of faith!<br />
Yes, it's scary, confusing, and even hard.<br />
Satan is going to throw things at you to discourage you.<br />
<br />
But just remember in this upcoming year:<br />
When God is calling you to do something, He WILL provide!<br />
<br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #660000;"> "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."</span></em><br />

(about a 5 week break!) I learned soon that this was the time that so many fun memories would be made!

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">It was definatly an awesome winter break! Very relaxing, yet crazy!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">God has also been speaking to me alot during break. He's been teaching me many lessons, some of them very painful, but worth the better relationship with Him. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">He has been good and has proven Himself over and over again. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">He has been so good to keep me going even when I felt like giving up. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">I've been sometimes worried that I doubted my salvation,<br />
because I thought if I really was saved, I would <em>know</em> it!<br />
I thought that I was the only one, but over the past few months,<br />
I've realized how other dear Christian friends<br />
I have struggle with the same thing!<br />
I've been praying about it for quite some time,<br />
and thought I'd share what the Lord has revealed to me,<br />
in case any anyone else has struggled as well.<br />
<br />
I remember when I was 5 years old,<br />
I understood I was a sinner, that Christ died for me,<br />
and I didn't want to go to hell.<br />
I knelt by my bed and prayed and asked Jesus to<br />
forgive me and come into my heart and save me.<br />
When I was about 9, I felt I may not have<br />
really been saved and that I was basing my assurance<br />
on a 'profession' I had made.<br />
So I told the Lord I was sorry for my sins<br />
and that I wanted Him to forgive me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">come into my heart and save me.<br />
<br />
Age 12 I struggled.<br />
Age 14 I stuggled.<br />
I have to say, though, that I've struggled the most in 2008.<br />
In March I said a prayer to 'make sure'.<br />
In June I said another one to 'make sure'.<br />
But after a while, I'd start doubting again.<br />
Sometimes I just didn't <em>feel</em> saved.<br />
Finally, on October 16 2008, I told the Lord about it.<br />
Somehow, I figured He didn't know or care I felt no assurance.<br />
I knelt beside my bed and cried out to Him.<br />
I told Him I was doubting and that I was tired of it!<br />
I was so scared...<br />
did I repent enough? did I say the right thing?<br />
did I have enough faith? did I base it all on a prayer?<br />
<br />
But then He stopped me and reminded me...<br />
It's not if what <em>I</em> did was good enough,<br />
It's about what Christ did.<br />
He reminded me that His blood was enough.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #660000;">Romans 10:13 came to me...</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">"For whosoever shall <em>call upon</em> the name of the Lord <em><strong>shall</strong></em> be saved."</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">All I need is enough faith to just ask Him<br />
and to know I'm a sinner and am sorry.<br />
He reminded me of the time I did that.<br />
When I really called to Him. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I <em>was</em> saved... am saved!<br />
My assurance comes from trusting Him to keep His promise!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I thought I'd share some verses He used to speak to me...<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;<br />
and him that <em>cometh to me</em> I will in <strong>no</strong> wise cast out."<br />
John 6:37<br />
<br />
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,<br />
that whosoever <em><strong>believeth in him</strong></em> should not perish,<br />
but have everlasting life."<br />
John 3:16</span> </span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">"If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish,<br />
will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?<br />
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:</span><span style="color: #660000;"><strong>how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that <em>ask him</em>?"</strong><br />
Luke 11:11-13</span><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br />
I knew I was saved... I just needed to trust Him<br />
that He really <em>did </em>hear me and save me and keeps His promises.<br />
<br />
It's not God's will for us to be doubting our salvation.<br />
The devil tries to get us to doubt.<br />
Since he cannot have our souls,<br />
he wants to keep us from doing as much for God as he can.<br />
If we spend so much time wondering if we're saved,<br />
we become discouraged and not as useful for Him...<br />
we can forget about all those souls we need to tell, too.<br />
That is our job as a Christian,<br />
and satan tries to keep us too busy with ourselves.<br />
Also, doubting is a sure sign of backsliding.<br />
And when I heard that in a message,<br />
I looked back and realized it was so in my life.<br />
Anytime I wasn't in God's Word,<br />
or did something I knew the Holy Spirit 'pricked' me about,<br />
I would sure enough start doubting.<br />
And after a while, the Holy Spirit will stop 'pricking'.<br />
God will always be there to come back to,<br />
but if we're going to ignore Him, He'll sit back.<br />
Then I really started doubting, since I felt so numb<br />
to the things of the Lord.<br />
But when we're <em>completely</em> right with God, <br />
completely trusting in Him and His Word,<br />
we're not going to doubt!<br />
<br />
Praise the Lord that He never gives up.<br />
His mercy and grace never end!<br />
We fall aside so many times,<br />
and when we come back, He's always forgives us!<br />
This wonderful God sent His son to die for our sins.<br />
All we have to do is believe and accept His gift.<br />
If you have done that but are doubting,<br />
I encourage you to tell the Lord about it.<br />
He knows and cares that you are, and He will help you.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #660000;">"These things have I written unto you that<br />
believe on the name of the Son of God;<br />
<em>that</em> <em>ye may <strong>know</strong> </em>that ye have eternal life,<br />
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">My first semester at college was definatly full of wonderful memories that I will carry with me the rest of my life! I'll be posting about different events individually/in groups within the next few days.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> Lots of pictures coming up!! Be prepared!! LOL</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291848387811763342.post-71938478310895418422011-01-01T13:34:00.000-08:002011-09-30T16:03:52.381-07:00Putting Old Things Behind and Reaching Ahead...<span style="color: #666666;">January 1, 2011~</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">The very first time I type the new year! How exciting! A brand new year... who knows what will be in store? As I look back over this previous year, I see how many different lessons I've learned. There were times of happiness, tears, laughter, meditation, and inspiration. I've learned lessons in submission, humility, patience, trust, and most of all, faith.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I'd have to say, overall, it's been a faith-testing year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">By faith, I prayed my family to California.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">By faith, I left the place I knew so well in NC.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">By faith, I stepped out on my own for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">By faith, I sat back and watched God work so many miracles,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">saw Him prove Himself, and stood in awe as He preformed</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">the impossible over again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I've grown closer to Him and He's become more real to me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">So much has happened. A year ago, I never would have thought I would be here. So what will I be doing a year away? What things will happen? Only God knows and I sure am glad He is in control!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">May this year of 2011 be a full one, used for Christ, my Beloved. I'm very excited to see what this new year brings. My God be glorified in everythings. Who knows, maybe He will come back this year. May it be a year of growth for all of us; in spirit, maturity, and academically.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Well, it's time to push aside old things and</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">reach for all the new memories to be made.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291848387811763342.post-38582026792123766272010-12-27T16:33:00.000-08:002011-09-30T16:04:29.121-07:00Stand Amazed<span style="color: #444444;">What does it take to amaze you? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Is it a person’s incredible intellect and mental capacity? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">To solve deep mysteries and discover new technologies? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Creativity and skill? Accomplishments? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Watching a beautiful sunset over snow-capped mountains? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I find it interesting that not everyone’s amazement </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">level is peaked by the same things. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">A new do-dad of technological advancement may be just </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">what every teenager ‘needs’, but to others it’s just a </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">new toy on the shelf, soon to be outshone again. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Two people watching the sunrise may appreciate it, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">but one soon wishes to do something else while </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">the other still can’t get enough of the view. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">To one, a new tune of music may just be another song </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">added to the bunch of them. But to a musician, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">it may be their very breath and emotion, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">as they can only sit back and soak in each and every note. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">What’s the difference? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">It was the same song, the same sunrise, the same technology. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Why did it amaze only some?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Some people actually stop to think about what’s important to them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Some people actually stand back and look at what is really there. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Some people are too caught up in real life,</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">things of this world, and the things of tomorrow. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">They’re so busy reaching for things they long to have, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">that they miss enjoying the things that are right in front of them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">How many times is that the sad condition of God’s children! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Are we caught up in all the blessings the Lord is giving us, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">that we forget to cherish the Giver? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Am I too worried about the situations rising up against me </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">that I forget to trust in the One Who promises to lead me through it? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Do I look to the future, think of what I want to do </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">and not even consider the plan of the One Who made me for a purpose? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Many times we even long for love and a romantic relationship, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">and ditch the perfect, holy, unconditional, & eternal Love right there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">If I were to tell you that Jesus left heavenly riches </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">to come to earth, suffer as a human being, die in your place </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">so that you could live in heaven… would you be amazed by that? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Well, duh! I’m saved, of course I’m amazed. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Are you still? Were you really? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Just reading about that should bring tears to one’s eyes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I’m convicted myself, since I should have made so many </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">mistakes typing that statement from trembling hands, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">blurred eyes from weeping, and overwhelming conviction </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">that it should have brought to me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">How was it when you got saved? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Did you feel like falling on your face and worshipping God? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Did it move you enough to surrender every desire, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">every dream, every decision to His perfect plan? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">That’s what should come when we actually look at salvation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">But you know what? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">That’s not the end of my amazing God! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Something so amazing, I can’t even comprehend this:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Not only did He make a way of salvation for me, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He made it with no cost from me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He paid everything. He doesn’t require anything. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">But He does have a perfect plan for you since before birth. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">This plan, instead of containing all the pain and suffering we deserve, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He planned it to be full of joy, peace, and love! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He has a wonderful life in store for us! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">A personal relationship with Him! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">A reason and purpose to live! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">But, He loves me so much, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">that He’s not going to force me to have this great gift. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I have a choice. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Even if I choose not to accept His plan for me, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He still leaves the opportunity there and continues to call me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">He never gives up on me! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">If I start to stray, He loves me enough to chastise me, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">accept the anger from me, and still lovingly woo me to Him again. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">WHAT IN THE WORLD?! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">What have I done to deserve such grace? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">NOTHING! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I’ve done everything possible and so much more NOT to deserve it! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Yet He still not only offers it, He BEGS me to accept it! </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Now isn’t that AMAZING?! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I often have to stop and ask myself, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">“What do I get amazed by? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">What is important to me? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">What am I living for?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">It’s fun to dream about things. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">It’s easy to worry about things. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">But we all have to make a decision. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Am I going to spend my life worrying about real life </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">and dreaming of a life that might never be? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Or will I take the Lord’s hand as He guides me into my future, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">trust Him to work out the current situations, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">and stand still in amazement of my Beloved Creator? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I encourage you, especially as this new year is coming around, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">stand still and be amazed at your God. Don’t forget Him. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Don’t get caught up in material goals or plans for this year. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Seek first His Kingdom and His fellowship, </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">then stand amazed at Who He is and What He does.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">"Stand ye still and see the salvation of the LORD...</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Fear not nor be dismayed... for the LORD will be with you."</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-small;">I also didn't take ANY pictures, so this one is just short and sweet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Monday, October 4</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"> Today was a dreaded English test. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The teacher let us out early and she baked us yummy cookies!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I also got to talk to my sister on the phone as it was her birthday.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I spent the day studying, going to work, and hanging out. Ü</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Tuesday, October 5</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"> Normal classes. Speech, Computer, & Intro to College.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Had a quiz in MicroComputer class and think I failed it. Bleh.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Prepared for mid-terms. My mind honestly draws a blank for the rest. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Wednesday, October 6</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"> Today classes were cut so we could go out door-knocking</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">for our Open House Sunday at church on the 10th.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My friends and I hit 66 doors! PTL.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The rest of the day was spent relaxing, piano-ing, studying,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">and keeping in touch with friends and relatives.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Thursday, October 7</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"> We were told the date of our Bible Memory speech... next week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So I picked a passage after having a great "preaching" conversation</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">at breakfast with a group of friends... and Mrs. Weaver. :-)</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In Computer class we started with Microsoft Publisher... me no likie.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Friday, October 8</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We had a fun mid-term prep quiz in OT Survey and finished early!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My friends and I studied in Revels & one treated me to a coffee! </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then I had a Biology quiz and only missed 1 question!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I taught piano, started a new 5 year old student, and went to</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">the post-office and thrift store to find a nice coat and shirt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I attempted witnessing to my co-worker but he was very closed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I am continuing to pray for him and work with him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I got home and was blessed to be an encouragement to a dear friend. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><u>Saturday, October 9</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"> Today I went soulwinning in with Brother Lester's SS group.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">After knocking out 70 doors, we were treated to In & Out Burger!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I came back to study for mid-terms, play piano, fellowship,</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;">Biology quiz back and saw that I scored a 95,</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">rather than the 88 I thought I got!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I also got a 100 in my Grammar quiz.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Today my roommate and I went to Wal*Mart</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><u>Wednesday September 22</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Lots of studying and working on my report.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Tonight, I, along with about 100 other students,</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">went forward to join Lancaster Baptist Church!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">But then I returned to my room and found out</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">my laptop crashed... with my schoolwork still on it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Good thing I saved most things to my thumb drive!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><u>Thursday September 23</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Today I we gave our narratives in Speech.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">After chapel, we all toured Dr. Chappell's </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">office/study. Then he and his wife personally </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">greeted us and handed Snickers bars!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I rushed around and made it just in time for my</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">interview at Sears, which went great, and we plan</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">to set up a 2nd interview next week!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><u>Friday September 24</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Woke up with a sore throat and today </span><span style="color: #20124d;">was picture day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was running all over the place with my</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">tight school schedule, pictures, and work.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I also picked out a business card design </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">my co-worker is making for me... he did a GREAT job!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">When I got back, the sore throat turned into </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">a fever, chills, cough, and tummy ache. :-(</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Had to go to bed early and skip out on socializing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><u>Saturday September 25</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I woke up with no fever and felt somewhat better!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was determined to make it through soul-winning </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">and had a blessed time promoting our Open House month!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Afterwards, my friends and I went to Wal*Mart to get </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">a few things, and a small fry from McDonald's. yum yum!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I love guns! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Since I was a young girl, I decided dolls were too girly and </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">started playing secret spy and cops with pretend guns.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I remember the first gun I shot was just a good old rifle. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was 10 years old and so proud that I missed 1 out of 50 targets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I just knew that I was born for guns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> Anyway, on our journey to California from North Carolina, </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">we stayed a week at my grandparents in Arkansas.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And my Dad had just bought a brand new 9mm gun! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was so excited, it was “the real cop” gun, and I was gonna shoot it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> Unfortunately, I figured I already knew everything there was to know about shooting a gun,</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So I was kinda tuning my Dad out as he tried explaining how to properly shoot the 9mm.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> Well, a 9mm is a lot different from a rifle. It has a kick. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I didn’t bother heeding that part of my Dad’s instruction. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So I grabbed the gun, got in my cool “cop pose”, kinda goofing off, </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">pulled the trigger and BOOM. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was nearly knocked over! I was thinking what in the world?! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">To make matters worse, the bullet casing hit my neck </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">so my first thought was, “I shot myself!!”</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And I was even trying to think mathematically how that would work </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">seeing I was aiming the gun the other way… </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">anyway, needless to say, I wasn’t shot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> The problem was how I was holding the gun and how I was standing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">My Dad then went on to explain (for the second time) that you must hold it </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">a certain way and must have a firm stance to counteract the kick.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">After I got serious about it and followed my Dad’s instruction, </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">the gun’s kick was hardly felt </span><span style="color: #20124d;">and I had a lot more fun. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And hit my target... not myself... or my Dad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"> A couple days later in my Bible study, I was studying how </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Satan is out there to knock us off our feet. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And if we’re not careful to heed our Heavenly Father’s instructions, </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">we won’t be taking the right stance to remain standing against Satan’s attacks in our lives. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">We’ll feel defeated and we’ll never hit our target.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">But, if we watch and pray, and heed His instructions, Satan’s kicks won’t knock us down, </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">we can enjoy the Christian life, and we’ll be sure to hit our target every time. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291848387811763342.post-59353642619686092152010-09-20T06:52:00.000-07:002010-09-20T06:53:06.908-07:00Young Maiden's Daybook - September 20<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjROTQSonx0nQItYJCEUUw4eNE-MIyt14uiD0WcLPB6T9ZW7m3xrnERqP3rb9VMXygnQOTS0zeUe4oN73s16TpxV7DX6RVtPOjHXEQU2xb-4dp9JAJN0S1uU6Wb89rutYPEKtA0coQceFQd/s1600-h/ayoungmadiensdaybookLOGO.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287807912847919186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjROTQSonx0nQItYJCEUUw4eNE-MIyt14uiD0WcLPB6T9ZW7m3xrnERqP3rb9VMXygnQOTS0zeUe4oN73s16TpxV7DX6RVtPOjHXEQU2xb-4dp9JAJN0S1uU6Wb89rutYPEKtA0coQceFQd/s320/ayoungmadiensdaybookLOGO.jpg" style="height: 320px; width: 227px;" /></a><br />
