9月2日 Now Why Did I do that? Vol. 2Sorry I haven't writting in a longo while, but here's the latest stupid thing I've done. :)
About 2 week ago, I was walking down the stairs. it was Sunday and I had to get socks for my little baby brother. I don't know how it happened because I wasn't even running or anything, but all of a sudden, I slipped on the step I was on (I was almost at the very top) and serioulsy FLEW up into the air. My legs were as high (if not higher) than my head.
Time seemed to go in slow motion as I felt myself falling, and falling, and falling. It felt like miles even though it was a couple of feet. Then all of a sudden, I landed really really hard, smack on my bottom! It hurt so bad that I screamed a really quick, high pitched scream, and then the next thing I knew, I couldn't breath at all.
I got the wind knocked out of me from landing on my bottom! I didn't even know that was possible! I mean I knew it could happen from landing on my back, but I had NO IDEA it could happen from hitting my bottom super hard!
Well I couldn't breath for like 10 seconds, and it was pretty scary. And my bottom was sore for about a week after that. I think I also knocked some bone out of place, because I feel like I have to go to the chiropractor.
I still laugh about it when I think of how funny I must've looked.
7月6日 It's about time I wrote again...I'd like to know why it is that we take so much for granted.
I'll use myself as an example.
A couple weeks ago, one of the elders of our church gave me some drawing pencils and markers. He knew I loved to draw and so he went out and bought them for me. He also asked me if I wanted to make this picture for Him about his message that night. I was very touched, and took them home. They were the brand of the cheaper colored pencils that were better than all the other ones like it. On the box it said how the color and quailty of these particular pencils were better than the other more popular brands. Well, that made tears come down my eyes. He (I won't use his name for sake that he wouldn't like me to do that) went out and chose the best of the colored pencils there, and bought them for me. There was thought and heart in that gift.
Now, here's where I'm getting towards my point.
We have gotten these really expensive artist pencils that are like over a dollar each, and we've pretty much grown up with them. We got them free of course. Well, up until then, I didn't really think about how blessed we were to have "real" aret supplies. It wasn't just our pencils, it was also our markers, sketch books, paints, canvas', sketch pencils, and erasers. All my life (and my siblings too) I've LOVED art. I grew up doing it, and apparently it's paid off. Those art supplies we have, have helped us all to develope our gifts that God has given us. But we all, even myself, have taken these things for granted. We grew up with these things, and didn't really think how blessed we were.
Until coming home and looking at those pencils and markers, and then thinking about how those were really good pencils to many people, but to me they seemed dinky, I never considered how truely blessed I am. God has blessed my family very greately.
I thought of the song
"count your many blessings name them one by one
count your many blessings see what God has done"
right away, and then I saw the truth in it.
God does SO much for us. He gives us many things. Things we soon take for granted. Things we begin to think we made happen. but every blessing comes from God. EVERY GOOD THING COMES FROM THE LORD
And now it's time to sit back and think of all the great things in your life that you've been taking for granted. Think if all the blessings God has put in your life, but you just haven't acknowledged it yet.
Just think about it, and it truely will amaze u with all the things God has done.
Sorry about the choppyness of this entry, but I'm in a hurry. It's time to eat an hour ago, lol. I'm so glad that GOd not only gives us enough food to fill our bellies, but also taste buds so we can taste the wonderful flavors. Isn't that amazing?
L8r~~~Cassie 6月8日 The Book of My LifeFor each and every person in this world, a book is written.
I've found myself worrying and wondering about my future lately. I know it's a stupid thing to do because God has it under control, and as long as I live my life for Him and according to His plan, then everything will turn out right.
Lately, I've also been struggling with things that, in the past, were a part of my life, but now, seem like God is saying, "It's time for you to move on." The problem is, I'm not sure, and I don't want to stop altogether doing those things, or going to those places, becuase then people will wonder and ask questions, and unless I'm sure God's will is for me to stop, then I don't want to risk making any mistakes, or useing God as a false reason.
I began to get really confused and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and everything was just piling up in front of me, making a bigger and bigger obstacle to get through.With nothing else to do but pray, that's what I did, and this is what Jesus said to me
I realized that my life is not mine but, in fact, God's to use through me to glorify Himslef to others. He's written my book of my life, and will reveal it to me eventually. In His time. Maybe it won't be a whole chapter or even a whole page, but it might just be a sentence, or a word. Such as "yes" or "wait"
THe thing I do know though is this: When Jesus turns a new page of my life, I have to be ready to follow it 100%. The thing is it's sometimes really hard for me to know whether it's God speaking to me or someone else, but if I focus only one Him, I'll know what He is calling me to do in His time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time" 5月29日 It's been a while since I last wrote...I don't know what I'm going to write about right now...usually i have like a topic in mind and then something comes out following that. Well let's see
Oh I know.
10th grade has been a hard grade for me. When people ask me if tenth grade is hard, my response is usually, "10th grade is crazy" I learned so many new things that are hard for me to face. II've had to rough out a while lot. It's been crazy. The thing is, although i'm still as short as ever, and havne't grown an inch that anyone can tell, I've grown a lot in my walk with Christ. So much has happened in my life and I've learned so many lessons. I think the most important (well no...all lessons learned from God are equally important in the long run, but he one I've learned most recently so at the moment it seems the most important) is that we have to learn to trust God with everything. WE have to know that he is the God of EVERYTHING and in Him all things hold together. I lerned this because of a personal experience. I'm not going to go into deatil because I'm not sure the other people involed want the story out in the open, but I learned that God can take a give as he pleases. I learned that we can't take thigs in this world for granted. I learned that when we start to feel like we have everything under control, and when pride starts to grow inside of us, that God'll let us continue in that way only so long. God sends us little warnings of "that's enough" or "you have to stop now" and if we ignore Him, he starts to speak a little louder and if we still ignore Him than he will speak even louder.
When i first noticed that things were going wrong, i didn't even connect it with Christ at first. That's a big mistake. if we don't link the change to "Jesus wants us back om track" than we are in for a hard landing.
I don't know how to end this exactly, but it's really something to think about. Also, the computer is acting up, so I'm gonna' shut down and start up later.
GOd BLess Yal- 5月16日 My Thoughts on cussingI know people who aren't saved and cuss like crazy. Well, that's understandable, they don't have any reason not to cuss. THey don't know why there would be a reason not to cuss. That's how they express themselves. The thing that bothers me is that I know people who say they are Christians yet still continue to cuss away like it's no big deal. I told one of them that it's really hard for me to not cuss when people around me are cussing like crazy, and the response was that "i would never intentionally cause a fellow believer to stumble, and I'll try to not cuss around you." It continued that the reason that person cussed was because it was something that was just done. It was accepted in the community, and it didn't feel wrong. If the cussing stopped it would have been okay to a certain extent, but the cussing didn't stop. It seemed to become more and more, meaner and more hurtful words as time went by. Not to me, usually, but to other people when I was standing right there.
I thought about it for a while. I couldn't understand how someone could cuss yet not feel like it was displeasing in the eyes of the Lord. I thought about it a while longer, and came up with a couple of things.
1. But the bible does say in Ephesians 4:29
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." 2. It also says that you should not intentionally cause a fellow beliver to stumble. Meaning, if someone you know doens't like cussing, you should stop at least around them. If you don't then you are doing wrong
3. It says that we, as belivers and followers of God, should act as a light to the world. When people who don't know the Lord see us, they should wonder why we are different. Why we don't have the hate the world has, and see something special that they would love to have. when we are cussing and cursing people, and offending people with our language, then we are not doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
Although things may seem fine for some people, for others it can be extreamely offensive, or it can cause them to stumble in some way. Sometimes it's not cussing, it can be something really simple. So as a Christian, we have to do right in the sight of the Lord. We have do edify and build each other up in Christ
Hope this leaves you with something to think about.
