EASTER

me & sissy on easter, waiting for people to arrive at the house so we can celebrate with family friends. BBQ & easter egg hunts! yaaaaay. haha.



What did you do for Resurrection Sunday?

sick.

[my newly cut bangs from being bored and sick and stuck at home]

How to get rid of the flu:
1. Get a lot of rest.
2. Drink a lot of fluids.
3. Keep a balanced diet.

or that's what the internet says.
I've had the flu for about a week now and i think it's about to leave. I finally left the house for fro yo for the first time in about 123 hours!

Staying inside for soo long has brought me to interesting conclusions...like the frame over the fireplace is a little closer to the right side. The frame's when i lift my head off the couch are not parallel with each other. I thought all 5 frames on the wall in my right eyes peripheral were all the same but no, the one in the middle with 4 smiling Filipinos in it has a different border than the rest. I have Nikelodeon on ch.53 and ch.216. Top Ramen noodles absorb the soup, so the longer you leave it in the less soup there is and the bigger the noodles get!

So, that's all. I hope none of you have what i had, if you do i'm very sorry and i hope you feel better. If you are, I'd like to pray for you! I've noticed when people told me or texted me or called me to tell me they were praying for me, it made me smile, and a smile can cure a lot.

traffic

You have to be at a certain place at a specific time and you just found out that there is traffic.
What do you do?

a) Wait a bit longer so traffic can die down
b) Just go anyways, and deal with the traffic
c) Take an alternate route, knowing that it may take longer of a drive
d) Cancel your plans

You ask me why do i ask this question? I ask you why do you ask this question about me asking this question?

MY TESTIMONY

So last week at TFC i shared my testimony via spoken word. I thought i'd share it with those who haven't heard it yet. I think if you press play, the music in the background should stop. I pray that God is glorified and that you will be encouraged.

There Will Be A Day

This song has been playing quite a lot on K-LOVE lately...even though K-LOVE sure does play quite a lot of songs on repeat. But here are the lyrics to Jeremy Camp's There Will Be A Day. It's a great song, especially when you listen to the lyrics. I love these lyrics.

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears…..there will be a day

3 Words

So i've invented a little experiment...for now i'll call it 3 words. So what you'll need to do is get a piece of paper, and for a month (you can do it for less or more) everyday write down 3 words that describe you for that day, make sure to date it. Make sense so far? For example, so 11/1 can be: cuckoo, excited, bewildered and 11/2 can be: tired, grumpy, busy. So i guess the object of this would be to look back on these at the end of the month and see the days where you were mostly negative or positive. If you have more negative things...maybe you can improve on the list next month, or better yet look back on them each day and see how you can remove those negative adjectives and replace them with positive ones. Or maybe it'll show you you're fualts or maybe like a friend said, "it shows how much more we need to be putting on Christ!". It can also remind us of how fun i had that day or week (if you have consecutive good adjectives)...or how bad that week is? hahaha sorry. But most importantly...be honest with yourself!!!! This wont work if were not honest!!! Or will this even do any good period?? It's just something fun i thought of doing. We'll see where this little experiment takes us. I'll be sure to blog mine when this month is over(maybe)...but i'll be starting off with today, so it'll be a short month.
