Genesis 1:14-15
"And God said, 'Let bright lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. They will be signs to make off the seasons, the days, and the years. Let their light shine down upon the earth." And so it was.

Psalm 147:4
"He counts the stars and calls them all by name"

Romans 11:33a
"Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge!.."

so my sister, caroline, and i sat on our roof tonight and looked up at the sky. we talked about everything. she kept saying "ah! it looks like the clouds are moving, but we are the ones really moving" .. it just reminded me again how BIG God is and how small i am.. and-how incredible He is! He made everything so unique.. here are some pictures that we took.. pretty amazing =)

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
"Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble. And on a cold night, two under the same blanket can gain warmth from each other. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer..."

Proverbs 18:24
"There are 'friends' who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother."

John 15:13
"And here is how to measure it-the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends"

so friends are amazing. i am once again reminded how blessed i am to have friends that i can talk about anything and everything with. kate drewry came and "kidnapped" me tonight, and we went to starbucks. there we talked about how incredible God is.
THOUGHT...God is so big, He can take all of the oceans and fit them into the palm of His hand.

yall, thats alot of water! and He is so big that it all fits! ive tried seeing how much i can hold in the shower.. and its basically none! but He fits every single sea and ocean into His PALM! ..amazing..

i love having people that can uphold me, and encourage me through every circumstance! so truely blessed.. just something to think about..

life is absolutely wonderful right now =)

my run..

tonight i went running.
i cant tell you how many times ive gone running before, but tonight was different. it was a good different, though =)

i enjoyed it! i felt so relaxed while i was running. i went at 7ish so it was cool and dark outside. as i ran, i did lots of thinking..

the thing i thought about the most though, was how we perservere.
1st Corinthians 9:24-27
"Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize. You also must run in such a way that you will win. All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a prze that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run not like a boxer who misses his punches. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified."

so this is how i put it all together... i am running to get in shape and reach my finish line-making volleyball and being fit the way that i should to be prepared for conditioning this summer. even though i get tired and physically drained, i keep going.

life is the same way, we are running in the "Life Race" and the finish line is heaven! we keep running after Christ to strive to be more like Him and to know Him more. we run to try and reach non-believers to share our CREATOR with them, and the amazing things that He has done. the prize is when we get to heaven and God says "well done, My good and faithful servant".. how much more of an incredible and rewarding prize could we recieve? keep pressing towards the goal!!

one weekend 2006

alright, to start off this blog-this weekend was incredible. all of the freshman girls, i felt, bonded. my prayer has been for unity, and this weekend was definately one step closer in that direction.

on friday night, our quiet time was awesome. we wrote down something that we wanted to get out of the weekend, and something that was holding us back from Christ, then tied the index card to a balloon and let it go outside... my prayer was for my worship and my everything to be focused on Him. no distractions. i sometimes get caught up in the world and how my worship looks, but this weekend (and from now on..) i wanted it to be pure and totally Him.

so before each time that we went into a rally, worship, or a bible study-i asked God to take away everything of this world and let it be a true experience, just me and Him. and boy did He work!! its so amazing how if we do ask, we recieve!--Luke 11:10... i felt like when we went into worship-it was just me and God-no one else. it was an overwhelming feeling!! i felt like God was right next to me, so i poured out my heart to Him.

when we we sing song of the redeemed and repeat.. "we are yours" .. it gives me chills! im HIS! He is my daddy, and im His daughter.
Psalm 11:3B "He made us, and we are His. We are his people, the sheep of His pasture."

so, my prayer for all of yall is to dig deep in the word. ive also found this weekend that i can not KNOW Christ, if i dont know the word. i am to saturate myself in the word, so when tough situations come-i can fight the devil with scripture. i hope that all of yall that went to one weekend, got some good stuff out of it. i hope that Christ spoke in big ways!! i know that He did for me. have an amazing week!

"cause i know my Gods saved the day,
and i know His word never fails.
and i know my Gods made a way for me
its gunna be alright."
