Thankful Thursday

I decided to blog about things I'm thankful for.

1. Thankful I have a loving Heavenly Father who loves me just the way I am no matter what

2. Thankful I'm able to see good doctors and nurses to determine what's wrong

3. Thankful I have freedom of religion, and no one tell me when or how to worship

4. Thankful I have a family who is close and loving

5. Thankful I have a great job, and enjoy the people I work for and with

6. Thankful for friends who I can laugh, cry, and just simply enjoy life and have fun with

7. Thankful that God is teaching me so much about HIM

8. Thankful for laughter...heard you lose weight when you laugh

9.Thankful that I'm loved, and don't need a man or anyone else for that

10. Thankful for life in general...we aren't promised tomorrow

Word of God Speak

"Word Of God Speak"....Mercy Me

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay



This song was playing on the radio, and I realized that I don't always have to have the words to say. I can know that God hears and understands my every thought, emotion, etc. As in my previous post a lot has been going on, and sometimes I just don't know what or how to say what needs to be conveyed...it's okay though. Thank you Jesus for being all knowing, and understanding. I pray that you would just speak, and I would shut-up and listen to YOU!


Overall today was a good day. It's my day to be in both places. So from 8:30-12:00 I was in the Fine Arts Department, and then from 12:00-4:30 I was in the Christian Studies and Humanities Department. It's very quiet up there now that Summer School is over, and Centrifuge is done.

Tough Tuesday

I'm actually blogging on the correct day. Now there's a concept. I was in a little bit of pain this morning, but it seemed to subside as the day wore on. Please pray for NGU again...we got hit last night by another storm, and it flooded the admin building which already had the roof knocked off of it in the last storm.

I guess just like the old saying goes..."when it rains it pours." My dad's uncle passed away this morning...I don't really know him. One of the guys I was in youth group with lost his dad this morning to a long battle with cancer. He already lost his mom previously to cancer. Our neighbor across the street at our old house had to have part of his colon removed because it wasn't functioning properly. A girl at our church who is my age had a kidney transplant, but the kidney didn't take.

I have tons of thoughts running through my mind at this point, but they just don't seem to come out in writing. Please lift up these people in prayer, and be thankful for what God has blessed you with today. We often take things for granted such as health, life, etc.

Missed Monday

I'm getting bad about writing the day after something happens, but I guess this way I can at least remember what I did the day before. Anyways, the reason I didn't write yesterday was because I was tired of looking at a computer screen ALL day. I was literally typing up stuff from the 70's that were written on a typewriter. Mollie and I had a chance to hang out last night, and that was fun. This week at NGU is work week, and I'm actually missing helping out...painting, cleaning, etc. I go back to the urologist as well as the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist on Friday. So please say an extra prayer about that.

Soulful Sunday

This morning we got up and got ready to head to church. Cindy goes to a very traditional church, but we enjoyed it. The pastor talked about "How to Get Rid of Your Old Man..." I know what you are thinking, but he was talking about getting rid of our sinful nature which we all have. It was a really good sermon. We then came home, and Cindy's dad had made a delicious roast, potatoes, carrots, and string beans for lunch. I would have to say it was very yummy! Leah and I got on the road around 3:00, and now I'm working on drinking lots of liquids to try and pass these STUPID stones. Might post again later tonight.

Sister Saturday

Ok I wasn't exactly with my sister, but I consider these girls as close as sisters. Leah and I slept in while Cindy went to Wal-Mart with her mom to pick up school supplies. Her mom does this every year...she collects school supplies to give to children that maybe can't afford things for the upcoming school year. We then went to Camden House of Pizza (CHOPS, and Cindy and I split a Stromboli, and Leah had something with noodles. Then Cindy gave us a tour of her town. After all that we came home and played more games...imagine that. For dinner we went to a little village area and ate at a place called Red Bowl..it was Asian food. The funny thing is we all had leftovers, but somehow we managed to find room for Marble Slab. I didn't feel the best, and it looked a bit stormy. There was a wonderful guy out in the middle of the village singing...we could have done without "singing." We stayed up playing games and talking until about 12:00. We always have a fun time together.

Fabulous Friday

I know these are a couple days late, but I didn't check E-mail except once during the weekend, and that was for like 5 minutes. Friday was my day to work at NGU, but it was only until 12:00. So really wasn't bad at all. I stopped by Chick-Fil-A, and they were back up and running since there remodeling. Leah picked me up around 1:15 and we headed to Cindy's house. I wasn't feeling the best. It was nice to finally meet her parents. Her dad made us hamburgers, and then Susan (a former NGUer as well) came over, and we played Nertz, Farckle, Dutch Blitz, and Ubongo...of course I didn't win any games except Ubongo, but still had fun. I think we finally got in the bed around 12 something.
