First off, you’re BEAUTIFUL! God made YOU, and His creation is BEAUTIFUL! You should really read Psalm 139! It’s incredible! It says, “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts,God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you. If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
PLEASE message me, or e-mail me! I’m sorry it took so long to reply! Have a wonderful day!
“The Anthem” by Planetshakers
I currently love this song a little too much. It’s so incredible. Revelation 5:11-14 reads, “Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”
There will be a day when everything will bow down and praise God for who HE is. I cannot wait for that glorious day. Tens upon ten thousand, million, even over a billion people praising their Creator. I get so excited attempting to imagine that day. It’s going to be so extraordinary.
Last School Supply Haul
All in all I got $20.74 worth of stuff for $5.20. I mainly had to pay for the pencil pouch, part of the ruler, and index cards. The lines were awful though. Everyone seemed to be buying buggies full of groceries (like fully filled). Bah. I stood in line for at least 30 minutes.
What I learned today: Wait until the week after most people go to school to get things you need, but won’t need the first day. Well, in my case at least. I don’t even need Expo markers, but I can give them to teachers who do! Couponing is a great way to share things you don’t need with others who do. (:
I know all of you would love to read about my first day of school (joking of course), so here I go. First off, it was a half day. I only had to go to school for three hours, and let me tell you.. I spent those three hours taking a mock ACT. The group I took it with was complaining (some of them), and some of the boys were guessing. This test was supposed to see if we needed to take the ACT or the PSAT, but whatever it’s their life. I’m not complaining. The grade below me has a quiz on Monday, a paper due, and homework in another class. I would rather have no homework and take the ACT for three hours than not take it and have homework. All in all it was a lovely day. I even met a new girl! I love meeting new people. She was a natural red head! I love people who have red hair! It’s so unique and wonderful. Alright, that was my day. I hope your day was spectacular! Oh, and my summer reading papers are due by Monday at 8:00 a.m. We get to turn them in on turnitin.com. How splendid?! We had to read Heart of Darkness by Jonathan Conrad, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (it was amazing you should all read it), and Lord of the Flies by William Goulding. In my opinion, they were all great except Heart of Darkness. I could not get into that book to save my life. Well, I guess I could to save my life, but it’d be hard! So.. that’s me talking about my day. I guess I shall go now! Hopefully I’ll have more of these up every once in awhile! I love typing.
