Grateful

I was thinking about how I can see the hand of God in everything that has happened to me. None of my experiences have been a waste! When I catch myself worrying I try to remember:

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

I'm glad my Father has left me with little nuggets of wisdom to get me trough this daily struggle that we call life.

p.s. I saw "lady for a day" yesterday and it was so funny and heart warming! Frank Capra is such an awesome director. I recommend you see it!!

TGIF

I told my parents I wanted to get baptized, and it didn't go over well. I wish my parents could support me in my decision to be a Baptist.....
They think I'm joining a cult. *sigh* I can only pray that God will soften their hearts.
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Psalm 27:10

Amazing Grace

Hola Friends! I have some very exciting news, but first I should give a lil background....
I dated a guy for almost 5 years, and the relationship was really bad because we were unequally yoked. After we broke up a year and a half ago I tried to maintain a friendship with him, but it was difficult because he would only pull me down. I finally decided to give it over to God and of course he helped me overcome.
The last time I talked to my ex was about 2 months ago. I called _____ to tell him that I was no longer going to persue a friendship with him because everytime I talked to him I felt miserable. He seemed perfectly fine with severing ties which kinda sealed the deal for me. Anywayz, last week we were gonna have an end of the quarter bible study party, but I decided I was not gonna attend cuz I was kinda worn out from finals......But, an hour before the bible study party my ex called me! I have never EVER been able to reject his phone calls before EXCEPT for this time! God finally helped me get rid of all that baggage I was carrying around. I raced to bible study so I wouldnt be tempted to call him back and the most appropriate song came on the radio: Amazing Grace (Chris Tomlin version). By the time the song got to "my chains are gone, I've been set free" i was bawling. I love how the Lord is alwayz so faithful to me. I finally feel content in the Lord. I'm glad i was finally put to the test because I would alwayz thank God for helping me control the urge to call ____ or look at his myspace, but the enemy would alwayz whisper in my ear that I had been able to resist the temptation because ____ didn't try to contact me. I was finally able to prove that God helped me overcome! I can't express in words the Joy i feel in my heart.....

An Alternative

I hate how Myspace seems to eat up alot of my time. Insead of doing a survey I could be working out, praying, cleaning studying, or something else. One of the reasons I created a myspace account was so I could keep in touch with my friends. However, I can still keep in touch with them through this blog. We'll see how faithful I am with my updates!

Have you ever thought about the moon? It's just a ROCK that reflects light from the Sun. Well, I wanna be like the moon! I want to reflects God's light. I want to accomplish good works so the people can praise my God. They will know that the works are not from me but from my God.
