| Hello! So I am reading this really good book by David Crowder titled Praise Habit. Such a good book... I highly reccomend it! .
But anyways, he quoted Psalm 8, and it totally brought back memories from Passion, and Louie Giglio's Indescribable talk. So, I went and looked up a picture that really hits hard to the truth...
**oh...that tiny blue dot there...yeah...you see it...right above...yeah, that's the earth, that's where we are, and that BIG oragnge thing...yup, that's the sun!**
Yeah...can you believe how small the earth is?! CRAZY. That picture puts it into perspective...and here are some quotes that help...
When I consider the heavens and the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You have made him a litttle lower than the heavenly beings and have crowned him with glory and honor. Psalm 8:3-5 Why on earth would He bother coming toward me? I am tiny. I am a dot. Yet here He is with His heart in my chest and we're locked in embrace... David Crowder Yup! Pretty hard core stuff! GOD IS SOO HUGE!!! It's crazy to fathom, and the funny part is is that our minds probably can't stretch to possibly imagine how big he really is! CrAzY!! BYE!

So, yeah I thought that it was time for an entry. Well, that and the fact that I am definetly procrastinating on working on my english paper, that is supposed to be 10 pages long, and it's a research paper that i can't find any research on! FUN FUN! Well...i do think that i have a relatively better week than a lot of people. Thankfully I am done with tests and all i need to work on is this paper. I know people who have 4 tests this week, and crazy group projects...so, yeah...i definetly have it better than some people. I could definetly have it worse.
But anyways! This last week/weekend was fun. It started on Thursday when Katina got baptized...GO KATINA! That was really cool. SO many people showd up from CCF! It was awesome! Im so glad that it turned out great for her.
Then on Friday I went to a men's tennis match with Kendelle. That was really a lot of fun. They hit the ball soo hard, and with so much SPIN! I'd hate to return some of those balls...cRaZy! It was funny. One of the guys had a bad serve and he says to himself, "What kind of a serve was that?! Like a 12 year old girls serve!" All i could think was that there was no way that i could serve like that when i was 12. But, yeah...tennis is such a fun sport!
On Saturday, I did physics all day! Who-hoo! But it actually ended up really well...I was able to go to the baseball game with my family, which i was originally planning on missing so I could study, but it all worked out great, and I think that i did relatively well on my Physics test...but i don't know yet. Im scared to find out, becuase i feel good about it. and usually that means that i did badly.  ...however that works. Im hoping for an 80. That would be good!
So, my Easter was definetly different than it has been in the past, but it was great! Although, I am really bummed that i missed, apparently, a really good, cool, and different Easter service. But, hopefully I will be able to go next year!. Oh! I was looking over my Passion notes the other day, and I came accross some stuff about John Piper, when he talked about Christ's suffering...I think that they are appropriate to put considering that it was just Easter...
So, here are some things that Christ did by suffering
1. Christ absorbed the wrath of God by suffering
2. Christ bore our sins and purchased our life by suffering
3. Christ provided a perfect righteousness
4. Christ defeated death, and he did it by death
5. Christ disarmed Satan, and he did it by suffering
6. Christ purchased and perfect and final healing, and he did it by suffering
7. Christ will bring us to God by his suffering
Well...that's about it for now! I hope that everyone is doing great! Leave comments and let me know!! . Luv you all!
BYE!
(sorry this was soo long)

| It's pretty crazy, the way that God works...I mean, I would have never seen myself where I am today. Being at Tech? Ha! never thouhgt that i would be here until I get my acceptance letter. Having the friends that I do now...yeah once again...could have never seen it in advance. It's just incredibly humbling. I always find myself trying to plan out my kife...like...ok...I would love to work at Disney, get married, have kids, and so on.... but when I think about it, how can I possibly plan all that out, I mean, i didn't even see what was going to happen this semester! It's great to have goals, but I just have to remember that God has a plan for my life, so what I want to do might not be what God wants...but it doesn't matter that i might not do what i want, because I am His. God is so amazing. He throws curve balls, and I just remember that I am not the one who is in control. Even though it is really hard for me sometimes to not take control. I mean, these past 2 weeks, I wanted to take control of a situation and it back fired in my face(Like it always does...ha!), it's all messed up now. But nothing happens with out it being known by God, so it'll be alright. I am so glad that God is who He is...constant, just, and loving (only 2 out of a bizillion descriptions). He continures to blow me away, and I am loving every minute of it. SOOO much has happened in these past 2 weeks...it's insance. Well...it's breakfast time!

| Hello Everyone! and...Happy Valentine's Day! So, I think that this year
is the year that I have been in the most Valentine's spirit...as dumb
as that sounds. I mean...I have had a good Valentine's Day. I didn't
get anytthing besides what the hall did, and I didn't expect to get
anything, but this Valentine's Day has been one of the best ones for
some reason. I remember this old Brio magazine that I got when I was in
high school, and on the back, the Brio girl of the year wrote something
about Valentine's Day and how it is ok if you don't have a boyfriend or
you aren't dating anyone because hello...you have an amazing God who
loves you like no other! Then, I was like whatever, that's not the
same, but today...crazy enough, I think that has been what this whole
day has been about to me. Sure, it would be tons of fun and very
special to share this Valentine's Day with someone, but I have plenty
of time for that down the road. Now, I am just basking in the love that
I am receiving from God and my friends...and it's pretty amazing! So,
this Valentine's Day has been really good, and I hope that everyone
else's was great as well! TTYL!
BYE!
