Beauty from Ashes

Send me something to get me by(:   Always filled with thoughts that need to be written down. Pictures that I see fit to be shown. Music that has to be shared. Quotes that need to be repeated. This is the place for all those things.

“Sin has become not merely certain actions but an attitude toward God.”

Frick… meditate on that for a few minutes. 

It’s not even about action anymore… it’s attitude.

January 26th, 2012 has been a grand day.

Today was quite the wonderful day, and it’s not over… but I had to write about it now cause it’s been so fantastic. 

First off, it was 80 degrees majority of the day. IT”S WINTER TIME, but it felt like summer. I wore one of my new tank tops from Forever 21, and got tan. It was wonderful. I sat on a bench after my first class and conversed with many of my good friends. I went to counseling. I enjoyed pizza and wings for lunch. I laid out on a blanket and played with the cutest puppy in the world named, Fred. I went to my science lab and got it done in 40 min. I got out of class an hour&half early. Win. I enjoyed a MintMocha Frappe for free from The Loop. I sat outside and got to know one of the most amazing senior girls on my campus. I’ve never been that blessed in a conversation up until today. I was so privileged to spend such a long time talking with her. It was fantastic. I ate Cap’nCrunch during dinner. I caught up with my best friend, and we can still crack up about everything to this day. 

I am now, gonna get a head start on some homework, watch some t.v. shows, and enjoy a peaceful night. 

Today, I was blessed. Everyday, I am blessed. My God is so good.

Prayer for January 26th.

God, I know that You have overcome any and every obstacle, so I ask You to help me live in the peace that You’ve provided for me. Show me how to trust You as I live in the now. 

Amen.

Scripture: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

He has your future in the palm of His hands. Allow Him to give you the peace you need right now. Trust Him.

You make beautiful things…” 

I studied Genesis 1-2 for 3 hours last night in my Pentateuch class, and I had a whole new perspective of how this world was created. 

I’ve never looked at the story of Creation like I did last night. My God just spoke the world into being. No chaos, no evolution.  He created order in this universe. He separated the heavens and earth. He made the stars in the sky. The land and sea. His breath gave life. It seems so simple, but to think that He turned absolutely nothing, into this beautiful world. How could I not worship and praise my Creator? Without Him, none of this would exist.

I’m so distracted right now. 
I’m thinking about how I couldn’t fall asleep last night for whatever reason, and now I am tired. My brain is not functioning right now. I’m listening to my teacher talk about greek letters, and I’m zoning out. I miss home. Relationships shouldn’t be so complicated. Patience needs to become one of my virtues. My family is a blessing. Agape is a beautiful word. I love my best friend, Victoria. The rain needs to come back to SoCal.
 I want to go to the snow, sit in a comfy chair, have a cup of coffee, and read a new book.
