It's Friday but Sunday's comin...

I was driving over to my grandma's house and I heard the song, It's Friday but Sunday's comin. (I'm not sure if that is the name of the song but that is what I'm going to call it.)

So God just really gave me this burst of energy and a rush of emotions. Today is Friday, the day that Jesus died on the Cross for your sins and mine. It was a terrible day to be on the face of this earth. Jesus suffered a terrible and horrible death. This is something that I myself would not want to see, but we do get a small glimpse of what that was like because of the movie, The Passion of the Christ.

BUT... what makes my "religion" so different from everyone elses was that MY GOD came BACK TO LIFE!!! He is alive and living in me and is waiting to live in you if you do not know Him. Romans 6:9 " For we know that since Christ was RAISED from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has a hold on him."!!!!!!

Romans 10:9-10 says, "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believed and are justified, and it s with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This weekend is the most powerful weekend of all of Christianity. Yes, Christmas is good. but I would have to say that Easter is even better. It is just sooo amazing to know that Christ died on the cross for me and he came back to life!

I love Jesus but drink a little

The other day I was blog surfing and came across an AMAZING video! This video makes me laugh sooo hard every time I watch it...almost to the point of peeing my pants..THAT HARD.

Everyone should watch it and then come back and comment on what your opinions of drinking are.

This is the video: http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/ellen-gladys-hardy-p1.php?emf=1

I believe that it is OK to love Jesus and drink a little. In the bible it talks about not being a drunkard and most of the time we forget the last half of that verse. It also says to not be a glutton. Growing up a Southern Baptist, it was pounded in my head that you are not to touch alcohol because it is from Satan. Well, maybe not that exaggerated but you get the point. Anyways, us Southern Baptists have "fellowship" dinners. aka.. eat until you can't eat anymore. That is called gluttony my friends. When we eat to the point where we are in physical pain.

So, in conclusion, I don't think that it is wrong to drink a little. I think that it is perfectly fine to have a social drink with some friends. There is nothing bad about it. It is the mindset that will get you in trouble.

Just something to ponder...

Love.

Looking

This evening I watched August Rush with a few ladies whom I love. This movie is very powerful. It toys with your emotions. :)

In the movie, the boy Evan... August Rush, is trying to find his parents. He is doing everything that he possibly can at the age of 11. He loves music more than he loves food. This is something that the Wizard, Robin Williams, taught him. He wants to find his parents so bad. People keep telling him that they are dead or that they won't want him. His mom wants to know what is going on with him as well.

This is going to sound crazy but I realated this story to my future husband. I think about him all the time and I wonder if he thinks about me. I'm sure that he prays for me and is trying to find me. He is earestly seeking and trying to formulate when we will meet each other. My life verse realates well to this, well I think. Psalm 37:4-5,7a Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.

I know that I must wait patiently for him and cling to the Lord because the Lord is my constant. In the movie, August's constant is music. When he is feeling down or alone, he runs to his music. This is something that we must do in our faith.

I know that this may sound cheezy but this is what my heart is right now. I am laying it out for everyone to see how much I truely care about my future husband. I love him with all that I have. I pray for him every day and hope that he is growing in the Lord and clinging to him because I will disapoint my husband many times. The Lord will never disappoint us. He will always be there for us and will never leave. I'm not saying that I will leave my husband but that I am not a perfect person. Only Christ is perfect. We must strive to become like Christ. I pray that this is what my future husband is doing.

I love you babe!

Spring Break

I was so excited for you to be here but now I am so excited for you to be over.
It is Wednesday and I think...think I have all of my homework done that can be done at home.
I'm ready to turn 21.
I am so excited to hear the awesome stuff that is happening in Florida for Beach Reach.
Jesus pretty much rocks when it comes to changing peoples hearts.

I'm ready to go to South Africa. Well at least I think I'm ready.
I wish that there was stuff that I could read to prepare myself for this awesome adventure that I am going to embark on this summer.
New friends. They are always so fun.
I love being away from the American culture and allowing God to speak to my heart.
I wish that I could hear Him so clearly when I am in "my environment" but it is so hard for me to focus.
Could someone please be praying for me in that area?

I love blogging. It keeps me young. haha. I just like getting all of my thoughts out there and out of the way so that I can think clearly. Does that make since? I hope that it does.

I am very happy for all of my friends that are getting married this summer. What an awesome time God has placed in their lives. One day it will be my turn and EVERYONE is going to know about it. haha.

I have discovered a new favorite TV show since being home.... My Big Redneck Wedding. Why do these people think that it is necessary to have such a weird wedding? I'm sure part of it is because the tv show gives them money. Oh oh ... another favorite show is... Trading Spouses. Some of those rich people need to be knocked off their high horse. So at the end of the show each wife writes a letter to the family that they stayed with and they tell them how the $50,000 is going to be spent. Well this one black lady was at this ritsy Japanese/American house and the grandma was from Japan and hasn't been back in a long time. Well the black lady left all the money to be spent by the Japanese Grandma on a trip to Japan. How nice right? Well the white nasty high horse lady was like well that is not right. It could have been put in my children's college fund...blah blah blah... and then she says... well now she (the gma) has to pay taxes on it and so we don't have anything to do with that money. NASTY WOMAN!

Wow this is a really random post...but this is how my mind has worked this time home.

I did laundry on Saturday...6 weeks worth in 1 day!!! Awesome...I know! haha. Well all put the last load has been folded. It is still sitting in my basket. I'm sure that I won't fold it until I put it back into the dryer to be de-wrinkled on Saturday. Wow...I'm lazy.

Today I have sat at the computer for uh.. about 6 hrs of my day and I have only been up since 11:30.

Oh and the cyst on my tailbone... could someone pray that it goes away because it is killing me to sit down. k thanks!

Thank you Spring Break.

Love <3
