We are the saints.
We are the children.
We've been redeemed.
We've been forgiven.
We are the sons and the daughters of our God.

Five Things I Couldn't Live Without
Day 7.
These answers are excluding God, family, friends, love, etc.
1. My Bible
3. My camera. His name is Joseph. He aggravates me on occasion but is quite enjoyable most of the time. I do not have a picture of him at present.

Fill us with Your heart
Date....June 20.
Starting time....1:26.
Mood....A bit distressed.
Outside my window....Sunny.
I'm thinking....That I complain too much.
I'm reading....The Resurrection by Mike Durand. Trying out a new author.
I'm listening to....The squeaky shoes from the basketball game on tv.
Yesterday I....Went to church. It was awesome. Went to a family-get-together for Father's Day. It was loud and chaotic but fun as usual.
I'm excited for....The day I meet my Jesus in the clouds. Yeah, folks. It's gonna be awesome.
I'm sad because....Of families that are being torn apart. When parents get divorced, it really does affect the kids. It breaks my heart.
I'm hungry for....Lunch. I haven't eaten yet.
I'm trying....To use the word "awesome" more sparingly and to use it only when pertaining to God-things. Because in reality, God-things are the only things that are awesome.
I'm realizing....This world needs more love. This world needs more hope. This world needs more Jesus.
The song stuck in my head is...."Father, Will You Come"
I want....To be more diligent.
I love....Taking care of kids. They are so cute and say the funniest things.
I hate....That a lot of my friends have to live hours away. Cause I really want to see them.
This week my goal is to....Finish packing and be in Texas on Thursday. We're roadtrippin' it. Break out the cheetos, double A batteries, and Lydia Stanley/Chris Tomlin/Matt Maher cds.
Did I meet last week's goal? Ish.
Ending time....1:46

A Moment You Wish You Could Relive
Day 6.
I have learned in my life not to live in the past, nor to stay in the present, but to proceed into the future.
However, reminiscing is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a wonderful thing. Reminiscing brings back happy memories, teaching moments, and refreshing thoughts. One of my favorite memories to reminisce is one night at TeenPact State Class 2009. (I wrote a post about a TeenPact event last May.) On this Thursday night, the remaining students and staff from the class(around thirty people) went down to the lake where we had a bonfire. We stood around the fire looking up at the stars singing or praying. It was such a beautiful moment that is embedded in my memory.

Just Some Thoughts...
Some people do very little thinking in their life, doing things on a sudden impulse or saying whatever comes to them at the moment. But as for me, I am a thinker. Whether it be deep thinking, random thinking, or thinking about nothing of importance, I love to do it. Here is a little something that has given my brain a workout. Are you ready for this?
"In 2011, we will experience these dates 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11. Also, if you add the last two digits of the year you were born and the age you will be this year, the result is 111."

Never Failing.
Today I watched one of those cliche Disney movies which of course comes with a teen romance mixed in. But this one upset me a tad bit. Okay, okay. More than a tad.
The Disney guy, who is the main character of the story, has an annoying, self-centered girlfriend who he doesn't even like. They are together for popularity's sake. Then he meets this ordinary girl that he falls for after spending an entire day with her. He then ensues to tell his best friend what is great about this "ordinary" girl and why he likes her so much. Everything he says is overheard by his real girlfriend. She breaks up with him. AND HE IS ASTOUNDED. The unfaithful, lying guy is the "hero" of the story?! Sorry, but he lost points from me. (Sorry about the rant.)
Anyway. It got me thinking about my God and His love for me. His love is true. His love is faithful. His love is never-ending. He doesn't love me one day and leave me the next. Through all of my faults, He still loves me. When I make a gazillion mistakes in one day, He is there with arms wide open. Isn't it a beautiful thought?
His love. never. fails.
