Life's Great Quandaries

Okay guys, so I want some feedback on this one. (Probably no one will respond, but oh well, it's worth a try, right?) People keep coming into work talking about these St. Joseph statues and how they help people sell their houses. Okay, so what is so great about St. Joseph? Supposedly, they bury this statue guy in their yard, say a prayer, and their home is guaranteed to sell within 9 days. What do you guys think about this? Is it sacreligious? Demonic? Perfectly fine? Just curious. I'm not planning on selling my house, but I just found it fascinating.

God is Amazing, in Case You Didn't Know

Oh my goodness, so I've really been feeling kinda bogged down lately, you know, like I had this huge weight tied around my neck. I really didn't know why. This burden had been there for quite some time, and I just kinda ignored it. I was confused. I felt like I was just stuck in a mud pit. I just kept getting sucked in, deeper and deeper. I didn't know I was wallowing in my sin. I was paralyzed, unable to move. I didnt' know what to do, so instead of trying different options, I just sat there. Anway, I've been reading this amazing book called The Power of a Praying Teen by Stormie Omartian. It is AMAZING! I realized this sin that I had been carrying around was the sin of doubt. Yes doubt IS a sin. I struggle with that soooo much. Also, I learned that in order to move on with my future I must forgive myself and others. It's HUGE! How in the world is God supposed to move in our lives or do great things if we're carrying around sin? Don't we want to be the best we can be for Christ? I realized I needed to let go of the things I've done in my past. I also had to forgive others who have hurt me. Now I feel so light. I believe it's in Matthew it talks about His yolk being easy and His burden being light. Well, yeah, it is. I've surrendered my future, my past, and myself to Him and His will, and now I feel refreshed and renewed. I'm ready to let Jesus take the wheel as I enter into a brand new part of this journey called life.

Summertime... and the livin' is easy

Ha! Easy?! Who came up with that quote? Well, it's definitely not easy, but it's much more relaxed than the fast-pacedness of everyday life during the schoolyear. I have a full schedule for these upcoming months... I'm workin a lot and then hope to be traveling with a singing group. I also am looking to help out w/ a local youth group this summer. In the meantime, I wanna chill w/ my homies, since my friends are my life. *Sigh* Life is so confusing right now. I know it's time to move on to bigger and better things, but I'm just so confortable where I am. I happy how things are. I don't want my world to be shaken as I spread my wings. I still have a lot to learn before fall. Anyway, I'm done rambling for now I suppose. If you get bored you can visit my super-cool MySpace at www.myspace.com/rockinreebok

The Storms of Life

Wow!!! How cool! I'm totally writing this.... and I'm at work. *SIGH* I love my job! Haha! Well, this year has definitely been a test for me spritiually. I have felt such a huge spectrum of emotions.... from uncontrollable weeping to uncontainable joy. I feel like I've been stuck in this rut... this valley for a while, and I actually think I'm on the upside of things. Just when it seemed like everything hit rock bottom, I started to see some light at the end of this tunnel. Regardless, I'm going to end this year with a BANG!!!! 

*Psalm 18:16-24* The Message Remix

But me he caught-reached all the way from sky to sea;

 he pulled me out of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,

the void in which I was drowning. They hit me when I was down,

But God stuck by me.

He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved-suprised to be loved!

God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before Him.

When I got my act together, He gave me a fresh start.

Now I'm alert to God's ways, I don't take God for granted.

Every day I review the ways he works;

I try not to miss a trick.

I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step.

God rewrote the text of my life

when I opened the book of my heart

to His eyes.

This Crazy Life

Wow! Could life get any more hectic? Holy cow!!!! This month is going to go by so stinkin quick... Anyway... I'm totally getting into this whole princess thing... yeah, I'm doing my research paper on Disney princesses and how they have affected young girls today. I think I have a problem. It's so interesting, though... reading the secular views verses how Christians view it all. Anyway, my spiritual life has definitely been interesting... I've been on this like spiritual high and now I feel like my insides are just screaming REBEL!!!! How is spiritual growth measured anyway? What determines if someone is a strong Christian or luke warm or whatever? Is it solely on quiet time spent with God? Is it just being a good person? I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

Catch ya later!
