Dear Journal~
So I guess I am bored so I am writing in here. For the last two hours, Danielle Williams and I have been singing and playing guitar over the phone, while I've been teaching her the lyrics for our new song we're playing on the 29th at youth group. It's a surprise. The rest of the day has been spent in prayer and washing and cleaning my car so we can sell it for $800 tomorrow~yay! Not much to tell, except I cleaned my room, figured out where our prom pic's are but couldn't get a hold of Andrew to tell him so, planned a HUGE practice for drama and outreach this Sunday after church, and ate peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches all day. I am getting sooo fat! Agh! I have gained 6 pounds since January! Not good! Especially since I am having a pool-graduation praty soon. Yup.
Well, Anthony wants me to talk about God more so he can post them. All I can say is same old same new. Meaning I do the same thing every day with God (an hour of praying and bible study in the morning, 30 min. scripture memory, and then another hour at night) or at least I try and do that every day but miss every once in a while, yet everything is new every day. Psalms says "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it" and it is so true! Lately I have been soooooooo frustrated. I've felt like Anakin Sjywalked and I want MORE! Not really, but somewhat. And then when I pray I find God is steadily telling me, in the stillness of my heart, to just be ptaient and I am being blessed and storing up treasures in heaven even as I type this. Anyways, that was because I was meaning I am sick of being sick and have been frustrated lately about it. I have to go because I am sick still and I need to type a few verses for Anthony, because they have been helping me resist ALL temptations lately when I quote them over myself. From lust and impurity, to being patient in helping with my mom, to not yelling with Matt.
"Be sober, be vigilant. For your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knwoing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brothers in the world." -1 Peter 5:8-9. See also 1 Corinthians 6:17-20. BE BLESSED!
