Pondering God...

Wow, I have just been thinking of some incredible things involving God! One of which being the fact that he chooses us to be his dwelling place!!! Wow, I've known this, but I guess the reality of it has been hitting me so hard. It's so incredible to think that God himself chooses us! We say "make us a vessel," and "our body is a temple," but to think of what that actually means... wow what a thought! I guess all the more this is making me want to do my best in making his "dwelling place" a good one. I truely want others to see Jesus when they look at me!

~ 1 Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
Amplified Bible

I'm not sure if this is really something to blog about, but it's the driving thing in my life. Yesterday I found out one of my friends was murdered... Wow I'm really depressed!!!! She left behind two very little kids and a very tramatized family! If you find it in your busy schedule to pray for the family it would be greatly appreciated!

New Year!

Wow, I can't believe 2009 is hear already! It feels like just yesterday I was a struggling freshman...sophmore...junior...lol ya I guess I had struggles every year! Anyway as the new year was brought in I just couldn't help but remember the many hard hours of study (or the lack thereof...)! The many times I would be sitting in class waiting for school to end and all of the sudden I would hear a beep. (chime...ding...buzz... or whatever other sound you can use to describe the bell) Over the intercom I could here Betty (the office lady) saying, "attention, will all students report to the little gym?" Then in a mad rush the entire school would run...or speedily walk to the little gym for a pep rally! It was so exciting! If it was a year my schedule allowed band then I was in a corner playing songs to get everyone pumped. However, if it was a year that didn't allow for band, my friends and I would arrive to the sound of the band playing, cheerleaders getting ready to cheer, and rustling teenagers! Anyway after we would get there the freshman cheerleaders would start yelling out the year in which they graduate, then there fellow classmates would follow. After they were done the sophmore's would scream out their year of graduation and so on. For instance, when I was a freshman it would go like this; We would yell (to the top of our lungs) 09, 09, 0________9, then sophmore, 08, 08, 0________8, juniors, 07,07, 0________7, seniors, 06, 06, 0________6!
Wow it felt like my year would never come! However, it's here and as I said before, as the new year was being brought in I just couldn't help but remember all the those memories...and then realize that before long they'll be just that, memories.

Congrats To Me!!!

Wow I'm sooo proud of myself!!! I actually went and got my senior pictures ordered!!!! What's even more impressive than that is that I put my check down towards the payment!! I told myself that I would put ALL my money (emphasis on ALL) towards the bill until it was completely paid off! However usually when I tell myself I'm going to save my money or spend it WISELY, it never actually happens. :) $80.00 down $220.00 to go!!! Oh that's just until I have to order invitations...but I'm not gonna think about that right now! :)
much love to all
God Bless
