Amazing..

You know those days where you have just too much to do? Where you can't sleep the night before because you just want to get stuff done but there isn't really anything you can do about it, where in the morning you just want to sleep until the day is over, or when you just have no idea how any person could actually do all of this stuff. Today was one of those days for me...

But it's funny, because with everything I had to do today, things all went super smoothly. This morning I was just asking the Lord to just help me with my day because I had no idea what was going to happen. I had to get drop off film to get it developed, go get a paper signed for registration, turn in some shots, register, study some more for my final, pick up film, go to class, take the final, go to my other class, come home and shoot some more, and then Anna's birthday party.

I dropped off my film, turned in my shots, and went to register. After I went to Finestra to study for my final, but was super over it, so I just went to work on final portfolio stuff. One of my new friends offered to get my film for me, because I found out that I forgot to label the shots I allready turned in correctly. She blessed me by even buying it for me. The final was super easy! After class, my teacher called me up to him, and he said that my Picture Story was the best in the class, and he showed the other classes. This was something I definately needed to hear. Then I went to Cota street for my english class, only to find out it was CANCELLED!!! Now I'm getting ready to shoot again...but I am not worried one bit. The Lord has been sooooo rad today. When you let Jesus steer your whole boat, not just part of it, the Lord truely blesses, and helps you. Today was such an overwhelming day, I didn't even want to get out of bed. But right now I couldn't be happier. I love Jesus so much. Thank You Lord for blessing my day, I pray that you bless everybody else's day just as much.

7. Every year from sixth grade up until my junior year at high school, somebody i knew died (and in a tragic way)

So since I have a car with no cd player, and no ipod to put on my car since it got stolen, I listen to the radio. I actually like this because I am not listening to the same old songs over and over. Well today I was listening to 93.3 (KLOVE for those who don't know it), and this song came on the radio...

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is
carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?

There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the body of Christ
Jesus is the way


It asks the question why arn't his arms reaching, his hands healing, his words teaching, and his feet going? It's funny how true this is. We are the body and we should be doing so much than we are. I hate that our flesh and satan gets in the way. The Lord's so good to change that though, all we have to do is pray. It also says that Jesus paid much too high a price for us to pick and choose who should come. Isn't it true that we do pick and choose. If there is somebody you don't get along with at work, school or anywhere, you're least likely to avoid or not even thinking about talking to them about Jesus. Ha what's one person or a class of people making fun of us for like what a week, when we get to spend ETERNITY in heaven. If you didn't know this, eternity is FOREVER!!!! The way Josh Kahler puts it, if a snale was to go around the world over and over, shaving down the world until it was the size of a marble, that would be less than a day in eternity. Do you know how crazy that is???!?!?!?!?!? Ahhh why is our flesh so stupid to "pick and choose"? I read this quote (on myspace) haha it said "I would rather offend mankind in preaching Jesus than offend Jesus in denying Him" Isn't this how we should live our lives?

Today I tried giving out Avo Fest fliers. I gave a coulple, but kept chickening out. It's just a flier not even tlaking to people about Jesus. Anyways instead of doing that, I just dropped them in random places, and set them on tables and stuff. There were some in the mat room all ready so it looks like somebody had the same idea as me. Anyways pray for those few fliers I gave to people and the few fliers I dropped on the ground, that somebody would pick them up and just have it in their heart that this is a good thing to go to. Tomorrow I am going to try again to give fliers. Pray for me too!
