    Psalm 29

    Tweet Psalm 29 Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders,the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of…

    Complicated..

    Tweet Complicated.. Life can be so complicated sometimes..and personally, I hate it. I wish things were always black and white. But God created more then two colors, and I suppose life would be rather boring if things were always two colors. But still, things would be easier. and friends..they complicate things too..I love them dearly..but sometimes they open their mouth way to wide. Thankfully, God listens and He seems to understand how complicated life can get. He’s given us His word full of guidence and it seems to help when life is complicated. So..when life is complicated as it is right now..I’m thankful I have a God I can run…

    A Lesson Learned From Cheerleading

    Tweet A Lesson Learned From Cheerleading.. We had a game tonight..we won too! But we finally got an extension..which for those of you who are cheerleading illiterate, it is a really hard stunt..but anyways, we did one at the beginning of the game and it went perfect..then we tried doing two more and I fell out of both of them. I don’t know why sometimes I can stick a stunt and sometimes I can’t..but I guess that’s the way I am. I’ll learn, hopefully. But I was thinking tonight as I got up..embarrassed about falling out of the stunt. When I’m up there, my whole body is dependant upon Kayla…

    My Speech

    Tweet My Speech.. I got an e-mail from a friend I met while at camp this summer, and she asked what God had been teaching me lately.. It got me thinking, and I realized that He has been teaching me so much. So, I thought I would share one thing with you. What I talk about..lately, it seems like that’s the message God has wanted to pound into my head. I have been caught several times talking about someone, and having them walk up at precisely the right moment-talk about embarrassing. I am also going through the book-Lord, change my attitude before it’s too late..and I finished up the first…

    My Greatest Fear

    Tweet My Greatest Fear Well, I have already written about my biggest fear, but I suppose there could be a slight difference between biggest and greatest..let me know if you come up with one! Anyways, right now I think my greatest fear is something happening to one of my parents. I honestly can not imagine life without one or both of them. My mom is the ever-caring, emtional, always happy, and always ready to give up anything for me. My dad is the balancer, the shoulder to cry on, the protector of his baby girl, and the one I can always count on to take me to the movies. I…

    David Ring

    Tweet David Ring At our church this morning, David Ring spoke. He was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I think he was the best person I have ever heard speak. He walks with a limp, and talks funny..but that hasn’t stopped him from preaching. He has pneumonia at the moment, but that still didn’t stop him from coming to our church. He challenged us to serve and kept asking us, what is your excuse? I sat there thinking about all the excuses I have given lately for why my spiritual life is slacking and why I’m not serving..and as I went through the list, I just kept looking at Brother…

    Authority

    Tweet ok..I know it says in God’s word we are to submit and obey our authority. But sometimes that is so hard..God has brought cheerleading into my life to show me an area I need to do some major growth in. I always thought I did fine with submitting and obeying my authority..but I have never struggled with it more. There are so many times I disagree with what my authority tells me I must do. I’ve found that while I don’t usually just disobey them..I struggle a lot with my attitude. And I will be the first to tell you, I know hardly anything about cheerleading or the like..but…

    What freedom is most important to me? ( I think this was our English blog topic)

    Tweet I think I would have to say the freedom of religion because it has impacted my life the most. The school I attend, the church I am a member at, and the daily time I spend with God would not be realities if we were not guaranteed this freedom. I thought of the war in Iraq..and the oppression those people lived under, and Paul and the disciples-they underwent a ton of persecution for their beliefs. The worst I’ve ever had to deal with is being made fun of…and that pales in comparasion to what other believers must endure for the cause of Christ. I am thankful I don’t have…

    God’s LOVE

    Tweet Have you ever thought about the magnitude of God’s love? This week, I have been continually reminded of His love for me. I didn’t really do anything out of the ordinary this week, but it was really long and really rough. A lot of old hurt kept coming back, and i couldn’t shake some memories I regret..but it seemed like every night in my devotions and every day, God kept bringing back this idea of His love. And I took one night and read through Christ’s last days, and realized how much He sacrificed for me. I began to think about the things that had been dragging me down,…
