FIREPROOF

Okay, so, I went and saw "Fireproof" on Friday, I got to take my sisters, and it was the first time I got to go and do something non church or school related. (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE going to church, just something new)

Anyway, Fireproof was just as good as Facing the Giants and Flywheel, It was so incredibly sweet! One of the sweetest lines in the movie is

"Fourty-Three"

I'm not going to explain it, you'll have to go see it yourself. (It's Totally worth the 7 or 8 dollars)
Oh my Word it was fantastic!!!! SOOOOOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!!



Friday night was also the "Third Annual Video Scavenger Hunt"
That was also WAY fun.
There were a couple of new items added to the list, some involving my place of employment specifically. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not...
So, I ended up:

• playing duck-duck-goose in front of an open Save-a-lot.
• washing my hair in a QT sink, (I know they get cleaned)
• giving a member of my team a hug, (the item was give a gas station attendant a hug),
• singing happy birthday to a member on the opposite team (get a store clerk to sing a recognizeable song)

I was also in a human pyramid in front (okay fine, off to the side) of MY QT. Gave doughnuts to some girls who were returning carts at a Dierberghs, among a couple of other things.

And yes, my team won by 3,000 pts. It should have been 8,000 (one of the girls got dressed up in full scuba gear) but, that was not on the video. No names will be mentioned...I love our camera-woman by the way.

I have a couple of projects in school to work on, but I am caught up as best I can be with the fact that the one project was never given a timeline, it was just "go work on your project." Which, I guess is a good thing, it will help me figure out when I need to get things done, organizational skills, which will be good to have when I go off to college. (hopefully next fall but we'll have to see about that.)

I am going to go make my dinner, and then go see if "Heroes" has been recorded yet.

Night All!!

Today was Wednesday

Today was Wednesday.
have had a good week so far, worked yesterday.

I've been reading Ephesians 1 for the past two days, using an NAS version. My dad said he would get me a study Bible, the options are NKJV or NAS, so I'm trying the NAS to see if it's so different from what I'm used to that it's uncomfortable. (which so far, it's not).

Found a verse, Eph 1:7-8, I Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (8) which He lavished on us...

Grace which he lavished on us. Couldn't really be put any better than that could it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I find really good wording or phrasing, after all it is God's Word.

The only thing I didn't care for in that was 'trespasses' personally I prefer 'sins' it just sounds more like it actually is. 'Trespasses' doesn't sound as bad to me.

Class was very good tonight, we talked about forgiveness.

I got caught up on some schoolwork today. *YAY*
Have a couple of difficult projects to work on still.

Proabably going to go take my sisters to see "Fireproof" Friday, really excited about that. It looks really good.

I love my mom, she is so fantasic, I can go to her for anything.
Alright
I need some sleep.

Night all.

New Title

I finally came up with a better title than "What's Up?"
The Title "In the Center" Comes from Matthew West's song "The Center"
The gist of the song is I want to be exactly were God has put me and "I don't want to move unless You move me."
One of his best songs by the way.

Well, I added some new links on the side, came up with a new name for my blog and I looked around on connectionpoint.net, the bbfi's website.

Other than that, I've done school.
Now, I have to study for a poem quiz, and write my final draft of my "Everyman" essay.

Then later, my family and I will be watching the Heroes season premiere. (About time!)

alrighty, I guess I'm gonna go.

talk to you all later.

Hummm....

Don't really know what to post at the moment.
It's only 9:18 and I am TIRED. Had church today, and AWANA's. I like working in Awana, but don't like missing the evening service.

I work with the SPARKS (K-2) some of the things they say... oh my goodness, they are Hilarious!

Had some friends over yesterday, and had to work on friday. Still really slow... Hoping I get much faster at filling the coolers. That takes me like an hour.

Friday night was the Popcorn, Movie, and Sharing. ladies night at church. We watched "Flywheel" Such a good movie. Done by the same guys who did "Facing the Giants"

Well, have to work Tuesday, Wednesday is church and piano lessons, Thursday... I don't know what I'm doing, Friday is the Video Scavenger hunt! That'll be fun.

Saturday I have to work from 6-10. which I don't like since I have church in the morning. But, oh well, this is the only saturday I've had to work so far.

Okay, I am off to get some sleep.

Night All.

ARRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Okay, about to go crazy, had another long post written out, and it deleted itself when i tried to add a picture!

So, lets try this again.

The original title for this blog was "Waiting", but ARRRGGHHHHH!!!! kind of fits it a little bit better.

Well, I'm still waiting for BBC to write me back on my GPA/Grading scale question.
I'm seriously hoping that the lack of response is a good thing. Good as in "Yes, let's convert her GPA to our grading scale."
That is what I'm hoping for. But if that's not what happens no big deal. If I'm supposed to go to that school God will provide a way.
Not worried.

Last night's class was good.
We talked about "gently restoring" in our peacemaking series. One point made was: When you have to confront someone, you need to go in with the attitude of the both of you glorifying God, and growing in Christ together.

Our youth pastor and his family are awesome.

I drew a little bit yesterday. The eagle was in between classes, and the "Balance" was after school. I had wanted to do another cartoon, like I had done the tank, and I came up with a kid trying to balance her time.

I think trying to put those pictures up here is what has destroyed my post so far, so I'll put those up individually in a seperate post.

Alrighty, I need to go eat, and then get to school.
Don't work until tomorrow, and then next week I only work two days. So I'm not getting a whole lot of hours in.

Okay, write to ya later.

P.S. Scanners Rock!

This is the 3rd post I've tried to put up here, so this is going to be really short.
Had a good class tonight.

write more in the morning.

Smiling Tank

One of the funniest phrases used at the conference was "You must be like a Smiling tank."

The meaning was, you need to direct the conversation firmly, but be smiling. Like a Smiling tank.

Today had school, got my hair trimmed. Very exciting, I know.

Work tomorrow, then more school.

Friday, there's an activity at church. Gonna watch the movie "Flywheel" It's done by the same guys who did "Facing The Giants." I love both of them.

Not really a whole lot to say.

Oh, waiting for BBC to write back to me on a question I had.

alrighty.

Night all!

National Association of Nouthetic Counselors (NANC)

Well, CDT is over for the month. I was ready to keep going. Now I have to wait 'till next month.
It was a long day, but a good day. God is good.

Well, I added a "Currently Reading" thingy over to the side there.
I just got The Attributes book, and the Pride to Humility book, and will be starting Ephesians monday, so technically, not "currently" reading. : )
I am however, halfway through John Piper's book. (very good by the way)
and have been reading my english lit book for however long i've been in school.
I'll be reading "Macbeth" shortly, looking forward to that.

I like to read.

I like to read books that give you big ideas that you have to sit and think about for a while before you understand them. And then when it "clicks" it's like "how did I not see that before?"

Not much going on this week for me. I'm only scheduled to work two days. : (
and one day is only for like 2 hours. But, that's okay, I get to go to a church activity, and will be able to catch up on some schoolwork. and study.

I HAVE to learn how to study, and learn to do it well.

My last year of school, so my GPA really needs to be higher than it is.

Alrighty, guess I'll try and figure out some stuff on Blogger, then go see what my family's up to.

Oh yeah.
I love having my liscence!

Night all!

Counseling and Dicipleship Training

Ahhh, had a very good evening!
Went to the training tonight, and had a very good time, looking forward to tomorrow.
One of the speakers made a very good point, threw something into a different light for me.

"We have relatively short lives, 70+ years, then, forever."
Really makes you think about what's important.
What are you living for?

Work was good today.
Managed to overflow the coffee machine... hope that'll be the last time.

Drove on the highway for the first time with my nice liscence! Did not crash or hit anyone, and this was Friday at 3:00-4:00ish, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Okay, I need some sleep.

Think I might stick with the uncreative "What's Up?". Can't think of anything else.
I need to figure out how to make my name stay on the same line in my "About Me" spot to.
You have NO idea how much THAT is bugging me...

Alright.
Good night!

Very Much Excited

Tomorrow is the NANC conference at church. Totally thrilled to be going. I love learning about the Bible.
I just finished up the last of my homework, and still have work to do but I'll have to do that tomorrow.
This whole job thing is kinda crazy. I think I'm gonna have to get used to less sleep...

I still need to come up with a better title than "What's Up?" But that, like quizes and speed tests, is going to have to wait.

Hello All!

Well, look at this, I've got a blog.



Not much to say, just testing everything out.
