Be Still...
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
Some of the most powerful words I have ever heard. All worries can wash away because He IS God.
Please sit back, and allow these words to penetrate your heart with all their meaning.
Nothing is sweeter than when the Lord speaks to your heart...

While We Were Still Sinners
I was reading a verse the other night that caught my attention in a way that it hadn't before. Maybe it's silly of me...because it's been there the whole time...but sometimes you read something, or hear it, so many times that you don't even realize what it means anymore....
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
-Romans 5:8 (NIV)
"While we were still sinners..."
How many people do we talk to about coming to church that say something such as "Yes, I really should start going again...", "If I get (insert bad habit, etc. here) taken care of, I'll start going to church again..." and on and on and on. Too many people in our world today think they need to be pefect walking through those church doors. I have to wonder why. Have we, as Christians, made them feel so unwelcome that they feel so judged walking into the church? If so, then we need to re-evaluate ourselves. We most certainly are not perfect. Not even a little bit. Christ died for us while we were still sinners. He doesn't expect us to be perfect. He doesn't expect us to be clean. He just expects us to come to Him. HE will make us perfect. HE will make us clean. We just have to trust Him...and believe...

Me Thinking Aloud...in Writing...
I have decided I want to do everything I can to supress my negativity. I was a much happier person when I didn't see all the bad in the world around me. There's alot of bad. ALOT. Bob and I were talking the other day about how I was happier when I worked as a secretary because I was constantly dealing with clients, so I couldn't dwell in my bad mood because I had to put a smile on for them, and then by the end of the day I was actually in a good mood. I need to get back to that. I sit in my office and don't see many people, so it's easy to get lost in the quiet and think about things I don't want to think about. I've decided that I will not focus on the negative...that I will be positive...and in turn I SHOULD get back to being that positive person again.
My point in telling you this? Accountability. We all need it. You can be mine. Don't let me dwell on the negative either. Life's too short...and believe it or not...there are good things going on as well as the bad... :)
Our youth group is doing this study on Experiencing God....I missed the last week of it because Maleah was sick...but the study was on this same sort of topic. Too many times something bad happens to us...or something we don't expect...and we let it take over us, instead of seeing what God will bring out of it. The example used was the writer found out his daughter had cancer. They had everyone praying for her, and when they went back for additional testing it was gone. They could have asked "Why? Why God did you allow this to happen?" But they didn't. They had people pray and what happened as a result? The people they spoke with to pray talked about how they had a dry prayer life, and their praying for her revived something in their relationship with the Lord. So as a result of the early testing, many people's relationships were renewed.
I don't tell it so well, but it was an amazing story. It shows us that if we step back, follow God and allow Him to take control....good things will come out of bad situations.
Amen to that.

Confession #77
Talking to Becky today made me remember a confession to tell about quickly.
A friend of ours is in Australia on her honeymoon for 2 weeks and I have received two emails from her. This led us to a conversation about contacting family/friends during the "honeymoon" time...
Mine and Bob's "honeymoon" was nothing more than a one-night stay at the local Christopher Inn...
The entire time we were there we were just YARDS away from my mom and dad's...we were just a few yards longer away from our apartment...It was ONE NIGHT.
By the time we went to the apartment on Sunday I was in tears wanting to go see my mom. I cried entering my mom's house...because I was already homesick! I have no idea how in the world I was homesick when I was RIGHT THERE...but I was.
Poor Bob...he never knew what he got himself into...

Rant - If Offended, Apologize Later :)
You know...so many people are afraid to say so many things because they are afraid of stepping on toes...or offending...etc...
You know what? I'm done worrying about that.
90% of white women are not voting for Hillary Clinton.
90% of white men are not voting for John McCain.
SO why is it that in NC & IN, 90+% of the black vote went to Obama??? (I think the percentages are similar in other states but I don't have facts on that)
I'm disgusted that people can't look past color...on either side...I won't vote AGAINST a person because of their skin color, and I won't vote FOR them because of it either.
I'm not a Hillary supporter because I'm a woman...
If Obama were a white man, he wouldn't be in the race. He is a Freshman Senator with little experience. People would have laughed him out a long time ago. But...somehow...he's still there...
I don't want Obama.
I don't want Hillary.
I don't want McCain.
I will, however, vote in November. I will vote for the person that I feel is best suited for the position with the highest qualifications after thoroughly analyzing their voting records and stances on social & economic issues, as well as immigration, border patrol, etc...My vote in November will NOT be for what's on the outside.
Yours shouldn't be either.

Good Day...
It's been a good day. :) Nice and quiet for me to get my work done. Stacy got me a card, Bobby called, Bec got me dark chocolate hershey kisses that I don't have to share with ANYONE and a card, and we're having dinner at my mom and dad's tonight! Bob gave me a note, Maleah is just fantastic, and the day is only half over!
I'm so glad that I'm loved...and also glad that I don't have to think of dinner tonight! WHEW!

Confession #76
Today is my birthday...and I know it sounds dumb because I'm only 27...but I am sad. My youngest days have passed. Lucky for me, Bec said a few weeks ago that 50 is the new 40...so would that mean that 27 is the new 17??? :) Then again, I wasn't crazy about being 17. I just see myself inching closer and closer to 30 and then I won't be a young 20-something anymore :(
I'm sure you all feel SOOOOO bad for me right now ;)
