Forgiveness

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
   to my cry for mercy.

3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
   Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
   so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,
   and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
   more than watchmen wait for the morning,
   more than watchmen wait for the morning.

7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
  
for with the LORD is unfailing love
   and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
   from all their sins.

Isn’t it amazing that God doesn’t keep record of every little thing we do wrong? Once we ask for forgiveness, its all gone. He never takes a second look at our sins. He forgives and forgets, you might say. Thank goodness He doesn’t keep track of our past sins. He knows mine would be HUGE. Isn’t it amazing though? That He can totally forgive us and not hold a grudge? He knows I can not do that very well. But I’m learning. He will always forgive us no matter how many times anyone messes up. And He does not love us any less.

What is Love?

Well…it is defined as this “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.”(1corinthians 13:4-7) NOW THAT IS LOVE!!!  Don’t we all wish we had someone who loved us this way? Someone who loves us unconditionally, no matter what? Someone who would help us through everything? And never get mad or frustrated with us? Well, there is someone like that. And his name is Jesus. He is the perfect example of love. He is always there for us, no matter what. Just say a word and he hears you. Don’t you hate it when you need to talk to someone, but they won’t answer you? or they don’t have the right words? Well, Jesus can do anything. He is the best thing that happened in my life. And I hope that he will be the best thing in your life too.

I’ve been thinking…

I know i haven’t posted in FOREVER, but i have been thinking this past two months. Shocking, i know. But I have been thinking. A lot has gone on in my life. And there was only place i could turn to. GOD. he was the only one who understood. I love my friends and everything, but they just didn't get it. They did what they could. They loved me, helped me, and cared about me. But that only went so far. They couldn’t stay with me 24/7 or make all my decisions. The only one who was with me 24/7 and could help me make decisions was GOD. No matter how many times i messed up or turned away from Him, he was there. He never gave up on me. And I always took that for granted. I never thanked him for staying with me. And I’m still getting to know Him. But he knows me through and through. He knew me before i was born. He loved me before I loved him. Jesus is all my heart is living for. I will always mess up and be stupid, but I want to keep going back to Him. Forever. He showed me the answers to the things i didn’t understand. Now i know why those things happened. And they happened because He wanted me to go to him. Because He loves me enough to never let go of me.

A Mole is a Unit

This song will get stuck in your head. We had to listen to it in chemistry.
and i will never forget that a mole is a unit, or have you heard? containing 6 times 10 to the 23rd. that’s 6 with 23 zeroes at the end, much to big a number to comprehend

The Lost Get Found

“Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found”

This is an AMAZING SONG!!! and that doesn't even begin to describe its awesomeness. In the video, Britt Nicole goes around spreading God’s Word and Jesus’ love to random people on the streets. This woman was seriously inspiring. She made me want to do the same thing. So I decided to start little by giving food and a note to this homeless man that I pass on the way to school. I wrote a letter that told him of Jesus’ love and how He has saved him from sin. Jesus can make his life, or anyone’s life, full of joy and peace. I reallie want to show people who feel lonely, sad, or angry that their life can be changed by the work of Jesus. I also recently signed up to go on a mission trip to L.A. I feel that God has called me to go there. I want people who have had a tough life, to feel the same peace I have found in Jesus. I don’t know how people could survive without Him. I need His help every single day! I am sincerely glad that I know Him as Lord and Savior. I would die without Him, literally!

Help me…..I need ideas.

Hey guys! So as you mite have noticed, I LOVE to write stories. The sad thing is I dont stick with a story very long.

But i think i have finally found a reallie good story line. I have had numerous compliments on it so far. My 2011 goal was to write a book.

A bit ambitious you mite say. Hey, anything is possible. BUT not when you have writer’s block (yes Ella, i know what it is thank you!)

So i need your help.

The story is about this girl, Kathryn, who has a crush on this guy named Max. She also really likes this guy named Daniel.

When she is hanging out with Max, Kathryn kisses him. Things become awkward between them, because before the kiss they were

good friends. And Daniel and Kathryn confess their like for each other and start dating.

So I need ideas for little things that happen. I have the main story all down, but i need fillers between the events.

PLEASE GIVE ME ANY IDEAS!!! realistic though please. not sci-fi :)   THANK YOU!!!

LOVE

heart_apples Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples up top think something is wrong with them when in reality they are amazing. They have to wait for the right boy to come along the one who is brave enough to climb to the top of the tree!

GIRLS!!! LISTEN TO WHAT THIS HAS TO SAY!!! It has sooooo much truth to it. NEVER let a guy make you fall into his lap. Take control and wait for that perfect guy that God will lead to you. Don’t stoop down to the ground so you can get the guy. Mr. Right will find you.

Same goes for guys. Don’t pick the apples up off the ground. There is a PERFECT apple waiting for you to pick her in the tree. You just have to look for her. God has put her in the tree for you and you only. Do not worrie if you cant see her from the bottom of the ladder. Climb higher and you’ll eventually find her.

We were made to have a significant other. Its in our DNA to want that special person. They will make us feel whole, not holey. Keep that in mind.

“Give a thousand chances to your enemy to become your friend, But don't give a single chance to your friend to become your enemy.” ~Someone Smart

WELLL...let me just say, that this is an AWESOME quote. As a Christian, I know this is true. The Bible commands us to love our enemies. UGGG, i know. That is, like, the hardest thing to ever do!!! but hey, Jesus did it then so can i.

Even if you aren’t a Christian, it still has great meaning. Friends are the most special thing in the world. They should NEVER be taken for granted. You don’t have to have friends. They’re just life’s blessing to you.

Anywayz, if you don’t have friends (poor you!!), guess what? now you do!!! I’ll be your friend! :) Follow my blog and welcome to the world of friendship!

RanDoMNesS........Letting Go.....

HEY GUYS!!!! sooooo my random topic of today is *DRUM ROLL* letting go!
Random right? Well, yups. Its how I roll.
Letting go of anything is hard. People, books, clothes, memories, or ANYTHING!!!
Here are some things to help you get through the pain!
If a family member or friend dies, think of the great times you guys had together. NEVER think of what you could have done. Nothing you could have done would have changed the fact that they 'pased on.'
If you break up with someone, its okay to cry, to feel hurt! Its normal!!! Go ahead and let your feeling flow. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES KEEP IT INSIDE OF YOU!!! That only makes it worst. Trust me on this one. (Just be careful not to hurt anyone else) BUT, never wallow in your tears for tooo long. God has a better plan for you than what you had in mind.
If your parents fight alot, throw stuff, or do whatever, tell someone!! Again, don't keep that hurt inside. Your friends are there for you and so is God!!! He'll listen to you whenever and about whatever. He can heal your parents relationship. He can soften their hearts. I'm not being mushy, I'm just telling the truth. My amazing friends are always there for me and yours are for you. Hey, I'm here for you too.....if you need someone.
Letting go of stuff is hard, but nothing is forever. "Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be." Matthew 6:20-21
As one of my friends said "Think of who you are living for. That's all that matter"  And I'm living for God, are you?
KEEP SMILING!!!
-JoJo <3

Finish the Story #2

Hi, my name is Sarah, or at least that is what they tell me. I don’t remember much and I always forget what people say to me. When I wake up every morning, it seems like I’m in a new place because the things around me are never familiar. But the weird thing is I feel like I have been there forever.

Finish the Story #1

I dived into the glassy lake. The cold water hit my body like a brickwall. But it felt great. The ripples of water slid over my body like tiny beautiful snakes. I shot out of the water and breathed in the fresh clean smelling air. Hundreds of dragonflies sat of the water beating their delicate wings. They seemed to be willing the water to rise up with them.
After what felt like only minutes, Johnny walked out of the brush.
"Time to come back, Lisa!" he hollered. I unwillingly clammered back onto the dock. Water felt like home to me. No way did I want to head back to hell, also known as my family.

Finish the Story Guidelines

So as so few of you know, I want to be a writer someday!!! Its a big dream of mine, actually. Im working on a book write ;) now. heeehee.....
ANYWAY, so 'Finish the Story' is going to be a regular post thing, to help me get ideas.
What I will do is give you guys a beginning of a story.
Then you comment on what should happen in the story.
It can be anything you like, but please be realistic.
I have the ability to delete inappropriate suggestions. just fyi.
But please dont make me do that.
Other than that one request for it to be appropriate, the sky is the limit.

Tangled :)

Hey guys! So I've had one complaint that my blog is only about books. ITS NOT!! I have only had this blog for three days. So sorry to dissapoint you, grandma ;)
I re-watched a sweet, cute movie that my sister got for her birthday. TANGLED!!! I love that movie. My favorite part is this:
  • Flynn: "Rapunzel"
  • Rapunzel: "What?"
  • Flynn: "You were my new dream."
  • Rapunzel (crying): "And you were mine."
dont judge! i like romantic stuff, sometimes. depends, really. but im open minded.

Elixir

Okay, so I just finished this really good book. Its kind of a romantic novel :) by Hilary Duff. It had a cliff hanger ending (Gee thanks Hilary!!!) but I thought it was good except for that. Not top ten material but it was okay. Never thought a actress/singer could write such a grip-holding story. So anyway, the book is sorta otherworldly. It has recarnation of souls and eternal life liquid. And there are some gross parts. But not as bad as in Lord of the Flies *cough* *cough* richard *cough* *cough* but overall a good one day read.

BTW, my fav character is Rayna, and not just cuz of her gorgeous hair like mine :)
