HE IS AWESOME!!

Irrelevant

I'm giving You my heart and all that is within. I lay it all down for the sake of You my King. I'm given You my dreams, I'm laying down my rights, I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life. And I surrender all to you, all to you. ~Lincoln Brewster

1.) The 5 o' clock news is THE most irrelevant source of information. I had to do a commonplace book on a controversial issue and it was nearly impossible to find something worth the effort and the time to write about. It is almost embarrassing.

2.) I have come to the conclusion that Jason Mraz is one of the greatest artists ever because the complexity of his lyrics are OFF the charts. My new favorite: A Beautiful Mess

3.) That formspringme.com business is really entertaining...when people actually ask ?'s.

4.) Hairspray is coming to Pechanga on April 16th & 17th. Which is the same day as the boys varsity storm stadium game...I've always wanted to see Hairspray. ^.^ haha

5.) Good job Pumas for beating MV! Well done. :D

Beautiful Mess

Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is...

Good News!

Good news, good news Christ died for me. Good news, good news I still believe. Good news, good news I'm saved eternally. That's wonderful EXTRA good news.

Hey! Volunteer opportunity for those of you who are interested. I don't know if any of you remember the Good News Club at all. I know that we had it at Rancho Elementary. But anyway, it's basically a place where elementary school kids go to learn about God and Lynn Cole (the leader of the whole thing) is looking for teens to help get involved! It is an opportunity to minister to elementary public school children. So basically over summer we would go on a five day retreat down in Riverside where we would learn all we need to know about how to preach to these kids and I think it would be SO awesome if anyone would like to join me! If you are interested just let me know!! :D :D I'll try to get some info for you.

Take charge so I don't have to subsidize your lack of golfing skills..

Hey dude

100 ft Radius

Just like a star across my sky, just like an angel off the page you have appeared to my life. Feel like I'll never be the same. Just like a song in my heart ~Corinne Bailey Rae

Today was the first day since last year where it actually felt like spring/summer. It was quite the glorious day! :D

Happy Sunday! My mom and I went to church again today and it was just as amazing as last time. I wish my dad would have gone though...I think he would have liked it. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. I'm sure he had fun flying his plane.

Guess what else we did today? We finally pulled out those surround sound speakers so that Allen's baseball game can be heard from any place within a 100 ft radius of the house. It was nearly perfect to just lay outback and listen to the game while reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven. I definitely recommend this book if you need something to read!

Home. Homework. Homerun.

Wonderful, so wonderful is Your unfailing love. Your cross has spoken mercy over me. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart could fully know how glorious, how beautiful You are. Beautiful one I love, beautiful one I adore, beautiful one my soul must sing.

This week has probably been THE most stressful week of my entire life. I speak on behalf of all JV softball players with AP classes. Here is the low down on all the days so far...

Monday. Early. School. Errands. Argument. DBQ. Home. Homework. Game. 8:30. Win. Leave. In N Out. Home. 11:30. Homework. Sleep. 2:00. Tuesday. Wake Up. 5:30. Homework. School. Speech. MC Test. Lab. Lunch. Game. Home. 5:30. Leave. Pizza. 6. Eat. Leave. Home. 8:00. 15 Dialectical Journals. Sleep 1:00. Wednesday. Wake Up. 5:30. Homework. School. In Class Essay. Test. Fail. Lab. Notes. Homework. Home. Game. 8:15. Home 11:45. Discussion Questions. Sleep. TBD...

I have had a total of 8 hours of sleep in the past three days. NOT COOL! And of course this is the week when the teachers decide to assign the most homework...equally uncool. SOMEHOW though I have been in THE greatest mood this week. By the grace of God I guess. And some REALLY REALLY good news that Jasmine told me!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Cannons

It's falling from the clouds a strange and lovely sound. I hear it in the thunder and rain. It's ringing in the skies like cannons in the night. The music of the universe plays. We're singing You are holy, great and mighty. The moon and the stars declare who You are. I'm so unworthy, but still You love me. Forever my heart will sing of how great You are ~ Cannons

Ahhh yay! Okay soo like I said on that last post, I went to church today! It was even better then I thought it was going to be! :D :D The only problem was that I didn't know anybody there, buuuut that's okay! Britt was such a great speaker and he kept my attention the whole time. haha :D Mann...that just made my day. I do NOT understand how you could possibly be unhappy after that. I will definitely be going next week. Now that I know how to get there...

Thank you Sunridge!

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me. ~Psalm 13:5

Shifting Shadows

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows ~James 1:17

This is currently my favorite bible quote. Along with...

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannoth fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. ~Ecclesiastes 3:11

I just came across those the other days while I was on Facebook actually. Haha. Irony?

Anyway...today I am going to church for the first time in, let's see, 11 years? I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself. I'm not exactly sure what really motivated me to ask my parents if we could go. I think I just got tired of honestly having no where to go. I know that I have Life Night (which I will be FOREVER grateful for), but other then that...nothing. So, I finally just asked and they said YES! and now I will be attending the 10:30 service at Sunridge. :D
