Keep Truckin!

Does anyone else ever not FEEL like worshiping Christ? I know that lately I have been there. It sounds horrible, but everyone does it. We know that we should be on fire for Him, we know that we should be telling others about Him, we know we should be in His word, we know that we should have His Christ-like attitude to those who don’t necessarily deserve it, but we get tired of it. We start to take our eyes off of Christ and put them elsewhere, and I think all Christians will agree that then we feel more like crap. I was making my teacher’s Christmas cards last night (cause I’m a suck up) and I wrote Philippians 4:14 on them. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”. Then it hit me, I haven’t been giving my all lately. No, I haven’t been a horrible person out doing drugs, but I have just been going through the motions: flipping through the Word on the way out the door and reading one verse, sitting in the pews and taking notes, but not growing. We rely sometimes on our OWN strength to follow Christ, when really it’s Him that we need to lean on, He has the strength. This morning I took the time to put Him first and my day has been amazing. He’s a pretty cool dude if we would just trust Him! I just wanted to encourage everyone as my brothers and sisters in Christ, that even when we don’t FEEL like worshiping, truck through it, because if we don’t show the world Jesus then who will?

Confession....

Don’t you hate when you have a song stuck in your head. It just plays over and over again. All day I have been mumbling the words to “Larger than Life”…and yes it IS a Backstreet Boys song. I was one of those little girls at the concerts that cried her eyes out when I saw them. Once, I believe Brian even waved to me! And I met Kevin, because I’m famous like that. I have found something about myself this past weekend that I thought I had lost…I still LOVE the Backstreet Boys. Hey, don’t make fun. You know that you still like them too, whether you will admit it or not...cough cough. I think the “Bailey Babes” will agree with me when I say, they are hot (especially that Nick Carter kid)!
Anyways, this weekend at the Girl’s retreat, Sarah, Dawn, Amber, Chelsea, Gina, and I found our inner Backstreet Boys. Our music video will be releasing January 1st for those interested. Just thought I would give you the heads up.
So as Gina would say: “word”.

Be thErE!

my house---8 Sat! come! free pizza...can't turn that down!

I GOT A JOB!!

yep thats right..im officially a big kid.. i can drive and have a job!! its at Fossil in the mall! just guess when i start though??? THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING! ah! come visit me...buy something and make me look good!

I CAN DRIVE!!!

O yeah! I got my license!!!! Can you believe it!? I got a 100% on the test(ok so I lied...I got an 80...but hey passing is passing)! I figured out some facts and myths on the test...

Myth: You have to parallel park between two cars.
Fact: You only have to do it behind one.
Myth: You have to parallel park perfectly.
Fact: You can indeed curb it the first time and then ask to do it again. You can even end up halfway in the road still the second time and pass!
Myth: You have to stop at every stop sign completely.
Fact: To pass, you can roll through only two.
Myth: When turning, you must turn into the closest lane.
Fact: You can turn into the far one on accident at the most, three times.
Myth: When doing a turn-about, you look behind your shoulder.
Fact: You can still pass if you forget.

So anyways, these examples are NOT personal...completely...well a little maybe....but I passed and that’s all that counts! OH! And another thing, make sure that you know you are suppose to stop at the little ticket thing when going back into the garage. Don't pass it until you car is UNDER the bar, another car is behind you to where you can't back up, and you have to get OUT of the car to push the button, because when you are getting back in the car you just might hit your head..HARD. Then you get a little confused and almost turn the wrong way into the garage. Then when your instructor tells you to park you might accidentally park in a pedestrian zone. Oops.. this isn't personal though....just hypothetical. Maybe you messed up by doing a few of these things. When your instructor is lecturing you about how bad you did and don't deserve your license ( yes Andy..L-I-C-E-N-S-E, look it up), just simply give him the puppy eyes and say, "Please don't fail me!" and it works! Hypothetically speaking...

my hand hurts

I’m officially an idiot. I learned why exactly you don’t try to do work for another class before you get there. My friend John has Psychology 2nd hour and I have it 4th. Every day he tells me what we are doing in that class and if I’m bored 3rd hour then I work on it. Well today my plan backfired. He told me we had to do a portfolio piece. Not too excited, I decided that I would get it out of the way 3rd hour like I often do. He explained that we had to write an obituary.
I didn’t really understand why exactly we had to write and obituary for ourselves, but hey, whatever floats my teacher’s boat. I wrote 2 pages on myself with what I would want my obituary to say. Afterwards I was pretty depressed, but at least I got it out of the way! Now I could do math’s homework in psychology.
So guess what…right now I am in psychology. And guess what…I don’t have my math or obituary done. After what I just found out, I have decided that I will just wait until I cool down a little and do it at home. My hand hurts from writing the stupid thing anyways. Pretty much, John had the assignment wrong. We were to write an obituary on a famous psychologist. Oooops. I didn’t realize this though until AFTER I turned it in. So now I am sure my teacher thinks I am a suicidal little girl…that or conceited.

Monday...

Doesn't it suck when Monday rolls back around after a great weekend?? Yep, whether you are at your job doing boring work or in class doing boring work...it sucks! Mondays are the worse. But guess what...I'm going to be laying on the sand Monday at the beach watching the waves roll!! You are going to be working while I am tanning... get jealous! Haha ok sorry that may have been harsh...but it's so true. So I guess I'll see ya next week! Have a good Monday!
