Okay, I am listening to Pink, Man that girl..she rocks..I love music, with just the right beat, you can change any kind of mood..happy to sad, happy to happy, sad to happy, hard day at work? throw on some superchick and your set..it's all good!! ha!!
N*E* way, I am reading a book(yes that is right a book, something i haven't done for, well i don't know how long) but I borrowed it from a friend, forever and a day ago..and am just finally reading it..I want to share a few paragraphs with you all..The book is called Esther, A woman of Strength and Dignity. by Charles R. Swindoll
"When I come to this book that never mentions God, I see Him all the more profoundly and eloquently portrayed throughtout it. It's there in invisible ink. Just like life. I've never seen skywriting that says, "I'm here, chuck. You can count on me." I've never heard an audible voice in teh middle of the night reassuring me, "I'm here, My son." But by faith I see HIm and, inaudibly, I hear HIm on a regular basis, reading Him written in the events of my life-whether it be the crushing blows that drive me to my knees or the joyous triumphs taht send my heart winging. When I pause long enough to look back, I realize it is the unsearchable mind, the unfathomable will, the sovereign control, the irresistible providence of God at work, because He, though invisible, remains invincible."
A few sentences later....
"What might those looming gallow be? Some horrible pain? Some threat of illness or need for surgery? some emotional stress that is leading to waht appears to be you emotional demise? Some fractured relationship that you cannot repair or get beyond? Some sudden loss that leaves you gripped in grief? or worst of all, a spiritual vacuujm that threatens your very soul?
I have great news. Be still....deliberately pause and sicover that God is God. Stop reaching back into your own treasure of security. Stop trying to pull the strings yourself. Stop monipulating people and situations. Stop ignoring reality. STop all that! How?
Be quiet. The all-wise God, hid from your eyes, is at work. Be very still and, for a change, listen."
Are you still reading my blog?? hee hee! if you are good!! If not I still love you, even though you have not even made it this far!! hee hee!!
I don't know, it just struck a chord in me..a lot of it i needed to hear.. The book is really good, i have only made it to like chapter two, cuz i just started it yesterday, and only seem to read it at nap time, cuz you can't when the kids are running around..but yea.
Today was hard day, i wan't feeling good, and the kids were doing everything i told them not to do..So i put on Brian Johnson, Taste and See...and i called the kids, who thought they were in trouble..and i blasted the song, and we danced and ran around the house..it was really cool and after that the day turned around..God is so interesing and strange and wonderful..i love him!!
Did anyone else get there 3 month letter? I got mine today...It was interesting..Now i have to go..
oh yea, anyone who reads this before saturday dec 11, i am taking my ACT at 8 am..it's a test you have to take to get into college for anyone who doesn't know..but yea..it should be okay..but can ya all just pray..thanks!
I love ya all,
