Love is more than just a word

Love is God. So why do so often we throw the word around like it's nothing? God is something bigger than we could ever imagine. So Love is something that is bigger than ourselves. God gives us hope therefore Love gives us hope. Love is not to be taken lightly. Love is something we don't deserve but God loves us so much the he gives it to us anyway.

HI!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! REMEMBER, JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

God did it again!

God is so good. so I just checked my grades and I passed all my classes! I give all the credit to God. He is so gracious and he kept me going when I wanted to give up. I got a B in math, a C in American Sign Language, and a C in Art appreciation. I am so excited! Praise the Lord! Today God also convicted me that I have been wrapping myself in up in a emotional roller coaster ride instead of lifting up all my fears and worries up to him. So I shall repent and believe.

By the grace of God I'm alive

So today I took my last final and I'm happy I made it through the semester alive. I went to the chiropractor and he said my back and neck aren't doing so well. He told me not to do a whole lot of exercize. He did say I could do crunches and that I could ride James as long as I don't fall off. I freaked out at first because I wasn't sure if I could pay for the 1 or 2 more visits that he wants me to have this week. I realized I can pay for at least one visit. Hopefully, I won't need the second visit. I am so tired of being in pain that it is easy to get discouraged. Today I actually briefly thought of cutting off my back and neck just so they wouldn't cause me to have so much pain. I'm trying to just remind myself that in heaven there will be no more pain or sorrow. My depression was getting to me a little bit today so I had two quiet times and that seemed to help me feel better. Below are my prayer requests for the week.
Prayer Requests:
1) Pray for my familys' salvations
2) Pray that God would provide me with a job soon.
3) Pray that I would keep God as my top priority.
4) Pray that God would heal my back and my neck.
5) Pray for wisdom and guidance on my future.
6) Pray that I would have fellowship on more of a regular basis.
7) Pray for encouragement.
8) Pray that I would rejoice in all situations.
9) Pray that I would remember 1 Corinthians 12:26.
10) Pray that God would rock my world at Faithwalkers.

I want more!

So today I spent the day with Jesus and it was pure awesomeness. I didn't want it to end! I love Jesus and I can't deny it! I also spent time with James today which was awesome as well. I didn't ride today because my back and neck were hurting. Which reminds me, I called my chiropractor and he wants me to ice my neck and back. If I'm not better by monday, he wants me to come in. So pray my back gets better. Also pray that I would get a job soon.

really!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

So I am calling it a night for studying due to the ol' back and neck are hurting so bad that the only thing I can truly do is lay down. no bueno! das ist nicht gut! no good! So in the morning after my american sign Language final is over, I am going to call my chiropractor. Today I got frustrated because I was supposed to take my art final but then my art teacher didn't have the final ready so I have to take it Monday. Ugh! I did see James today so that helped me to calm down and be relaxed. I am so ready for the day when my knight in shining armor(aka Jesus) comes on a white horse(maybe James?) and takes me home to heaven. In heaven there will be no yucky backs or necks, no depression, no loneliness, there will be fellowship all the time. So I have a sickness called ImissFoCoitis. It can be contagious so watch out. Pray for joy, encouragement, grace, focus, wisdom and clarity on my future, fellowship, and my family's salvations.

silly me

so you know you have been studying sign language awhile and that you are tired when....people text you on your cell phone and you sign back. yes i did that. I am a goober thats for sure. Fyi, my ankle is doing much better so I did a light workout today. Anywho, here are some verses that God brought me to in my quiet time.
"The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath that he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharoh King of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is a faithful God, keep his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." - Deuteronomy 7:7-9

" Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you is a great and awesome God." - Deuteronomy 7:21

"Know then in your heart as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you." -Deuteronomy 8:5

So all of these verses have the phrase "the LORD your God" in them. That got me thinking about how THE LORD MY GOD is faithful, my protector, and my HEAVENLY FATHER! He will bring me through my struggles, protect me from evil, and is my father in heaven. That is sweetness.

crazyness is going to continue

ok so it's been a crazy weekend and it went by way too fast. friday, i hurt my ankle and watched Elf with some friends. saturday, hurt the same ankle again and worked on some stuff. today was crazy, I traveled from Boulder to Denver to Greeley to Fort Collins to Boulder. I have my final week of the semester this week so pray for grace, focus, encouragement, and that I would get sleep as well.

i was M.I.A.

Sorry I haven't posted on my blog in the last couple of days. Things have been way crazy. Yesterday, I found out a family friend passed away on Saturday. Hearing that was a MAJOR stinker. My parents haven't been allowing me to go to church. Well, they did this past Sunday but later told me they don't feel like the area where this church is, is safe. In other words, they don't want me to go there again. The hard part is that I actually like this church. It's a sister church to the church I went to in Fort Collins. I got invited to go to a house church tonight but again my parents said no. I was so overwhelmed yesterday by the news of my family's friend and just wanting to be in fellowship so bad, that I got the urge to return to an old habit. So I called my sister in Christ and dear friend, Gretchen, and then she stopped by. I felt so loved when Gretchen stopped by last night and gave me a hug and chatted with me for a while. I really needed that. Today, has been rough for two reasons. One, I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Two, I am still really wanting to be in fellowship and I want fellowship so much that it hurts. I'm not willing to give up fellowship and so I'm going to keep trying to get into fellowship. I've never in my life have ever had to fight for something that I believed in and loved so much. I'm not going to give up the fight yet. Tomorow will hopefully be better because I am going to see James tomorow and will probably have two quiet times/prayer time. Also my weekend starts tomorow after my american sign language class ends. woot woot.
