holla-lujah
Alise got into grad school at San Jose STate. She is thrilled and so am I!!!
Lido is coming down this summer, so we get to paint our walls and go crazy!!!
grrr.... my student loans from fafsa got mixed up and I lost a lot of money cause I gave up on trying to find where it landed, but my parents were graceful. Im sad... but grateful that I have such a supportive family.
OOo!!! my one brother got a jeep and the other wore a pink shirt and sent me a picture of himself in it! how sweet!!!!!
Learning to stress less and rely on God more. learning... its not being weak, its being smart :)
wore a skirt today... and the usual "kayleen is wearing a skirt" ish happened. dirt off my shoulder... :)
"we are not people who turn back and are lost. instead, we have faith and are saved." hebrews 10 39
theres a lot of ish in life to get discouraged about. i mean... satan is all around us. hes just cruisin the earth. negative emotions get high, temptation and trials roll in, impossible situations seem to brew and we screw up over and over again....
we are tempted to say "why has God left me?" "why doesnt this make sense? Is Christ the TRUTH?" "Ive messed up too bad this time. God's going to let me have it" sorrow, anger, bitterness, disbelief all become very satisfying....
honestly, no lies... the bible can piss me off. traditional christian beliefs can hurt me. oh man.... im being so vulnerable, this is really unexpected, but im saying this to all my brothers and sisters. if there is one thing i know, we are loved, cared for, looked after, pleasurable to the eyes of God.
read more about David last night and when he DIRECTLY DISOBEYED GOD. God let David pick his punishment. And DAvid chose to be punished by God rather than man, because he had faiht that God was merciful. it was horrible. Davids sin caused 70 000 deaths. but God was merciful when David pleaded God to spare others because they were innocent of Davids sin.
what im saying my friends.... Have Faith in WHO GOD Is.... the bible may not make sense, christians may not make sense, the world around us will not make sense... BUt God is WHO HE SAYS HE IS. He is faithful. That is where I faith lies.
earlier passages in hebrews...
"do not lose your courage...you need to be patient to receive his promises."
