Psalm 121 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills-from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore."



I have a prayer request. A guy who goes to Shamar's school (Lebar) who lives in VA, crashed his plane into Lake Michigan. They think he's dead, but no one but God know's for certain. He happens to be a friend of Shamar's. So please keep the Lebar family in your prayers as well as friends of the family.

I have finally gotten my birthday party pictures developed. Yeah for me. You wouldn't think that someone would take so long to get pictures developed from a happy occasion like that. That's me for you. Oh! Marcus has updated his blog. I need to go to bed. But I'll try and post something on sunday, because I'm going to be having a very interesting weekend.

"For he who sows to the flesh, will of the flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit, will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (Galatians 6:8)

When I was at work yesterday, all of a sudden I heard pounding on the roof. Being the curious person that I am, I went to go see what was going on. Well hail was falling out of the sky. It was the size of golf balls! I was a little nervous at first, but it eventually stopped. Then today you'll never guessed what happend. It started snowing. One guy said he's glad that he's glad of it, ' cause it just means that God's still in control. How do you like my new front? :)

Choose you this day whom you will serve...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)

Oh wow! I'm writing twice in one day. For any of you that actually read this, check out Emily and Tyler's blog. Emily has a really awesome quote about your heart being knitted to the Lord's and Tyler has actually updated his blog (hope you don't mind me posting this Tyler [smile]). So Shamar might be coming to Aletheia this summer! I'm really excited about that. We may have to take my car though. I know that God will work it all out. So God has blessed me in another area of my life. I have job security for next summer. I will be a nanny for two little boys that I used to babysit before they moved to IL. God is so good! I have nothing else to say, so until next time! Yes I do! It's suppossed to snow on and or after sunday! And in WI, it's going to be 30 degrees. What can I say?!!
School's driving me up the wall. I just want it to be over. Pray for me!

"He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8)

I'm starting to enjoy spring again. I'm still having my allergies but it's no where near as bad as before. I have ten more books of the Bible to read, and I would have read through the whole thing! I'm really excited. So this morning I was in 1 Peter 1:1-9 and I just thought I would share my thoughts on it. We use the term love so freely these days that when you hear someone say "God loves you", I don't think we get the whole message. We kinda say "I know", and think of what Christ did on the cross. Not that His death and resurection wasn't screaming out to the world "I love you." But what about after that? For those who come to Christ, the Lord's given us an inheritance that's incoruptable, imperishable, and undifiled that doesn't fade away at all. And He's keeping it for us in heaven. We should rejoice about this with inexspressible joy and full of glory to the Lord. Times may get tough, and we may want to grieve over some hard issues in our lives. But in the end, our faith will be more precious than gold. It will be and is genuine. I should never forget about how deep and how wide and beyond measure, God's love is towards me.

(Jeremiah 29: 13) " And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."


I
'm about to watch a Billy Graham Special! Well I'm currently watching it, but he hasn't come up yet. Right now Mercy Me is singing. Four more weeks and school will be over! How exciting is that? So yesterday I got the Aletheia Springs brochure. The topic sounds really good. It sorta bothers me that they don't have the names of any of the speakers this year. I'll have to keep that in my prayers. Need to go!

There's a slow train pulling through the desert
The colored cars pass quietly from sight
Between the highway and the long horizon
Precious dreams wind away with the light

My brother's and my sister's faces linger
The hours of our childhood, grave and gold
Driving through these solitary places
Memories of their gentle kinship
touch my soul

The hawk wheels away as we pass here
The clouds billow up and fly on
Down the road some hard turns
are going to shake us
Ride with us
Through the breaking of the dawn

I worry for my loving mother
The dimming years,
the trials she has known
Her heart so kind and so weary
Keep her safe one more night
'til I get home

How I long to be right there beside her
And bring everything back to before
We'll arive with the first light of morning
Keep her safe, let me hold her once more

The sage and Joshua tree remind me
Of the miles to go,
the journey that we're on
In the still sweet air of the desert
We will ride
through the breaking of the dawn

"The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death". ( Proverbs 14:27)

I have no idea of what's going on with my blog. It (or me) some how published one entry twice. Oh well. Not too much is going on in my world. But I will tell you about little guy at the library. So there's this little guy who follows me around the library while I shelve books. I've had little kids follow me around and talk non-stop before, so it's not that big of a deal. That is until little guy told me that he was falling in love with me. And on top of all that, his mother thinks it's "cute". How would you feel if a six year old (who's in love with you) was constanly on your heals and then one day tells you that he wants to kiss you. Then he tells all his friends that he wants to kiss you as well. And what does the mother do? Oh isn't he cute? So I thought to myself, "this is going too far". So I told my supervisor about it. And now whenever little guy comes around, My supervisor tells him to leave me alone, because I need to work. And if she's not around, I try and avoid little guy at all cost. I haven't gotten to the next step yet, but when I do, I'll make sure and tell you. So there's my drama for the month. By the way, I would like to know how many people actually read this thing. So please leave a comment, even if I don't know you. :)

"For I am pursuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. " (Romans 8:38-39)


Well if and when I get married, I don't think I'll want to get married in the spring anymore. All I've been doing is sneezing from the pollen in the air. My poor nose, it's going to be so so sore. I've tryed writting in my blog twice this past week, and the computer won't let me. So I hope it will work this time. Two jobs for the summer isn't going to work for me. According to the law, I have to be 18 or older to work two jobs, even if it'a just in the summer. So I'm starting to run out of options. I'll either work in a diffirent department at the library, work at a camp, or baby-sit. I've been praying about it, so hopefully I'll see what the Lord will have me to do. And for all I know, He may provide someting else. Got to go!

I will show you my faith by what I do (James 2:18)


I'm going to try this one more time. I tryed updating my blog at school and once I hit publish post, something popped up that said "this page cannot be displaid." My parents and I have started going to this new church for my dad's internship. Well yesterday at Bible study, this one lady came up and invited me to a singles dinner that they're having at her house after church on sunday. I told her "you know I'm only 16" and she asked me if I was single and I told her yes, so she told me to come and join them. I'll have to pray and think about this. I know they don't invite teenagers to their outings, so I guess I should feel honored. I need to run.

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:17)


Oh my goodness! This weekend was amazing. The Lord blessed me and another girl by giving us tickets to the Girls of Grace Championship Edition. We were actually able to meet Point of Grace. And I got their autographs! Can you imagine that out of 5,000 girls, only six of us (that's includidng me) were able to meet them. Then we got floor seats. Rebecca St. James, Out of Eden, and some ladies from the WNBA were there. It was truely refreshing. Then on top of all that, I talked to two wonderful people that I haven't talked to or seen since August (you know who you are). By the way I wanted to thank Christopher, Tyler, and Jen for commenting on my last entry. That's the most I've ever gotten. :) Need to go.
