Graduation

I am quickly realizing how stressful college can be, and learning don't get involved everything, becasue you really can't do it all. I am so overwhlemed right now, and if i didn't have God's precious peace, i'd be consumed. I am in 2 Human Videos at my church, main character. I am in a theater show for school, Senior talent show, helping with hairspray auditions and then got asked to dance in a fourth of July celebration...yeahhh and im graduating....plus work

LOVING JESUS FROM MY ROOF

This morning I awoke, with this idea. How about I go get the blow dryer and sleep with it on me.
so here I am blower dryer in hand, 4:00am, ready to cuddle up, and Jesus says, "stop" you promised
you would study the word today. Now instead of blogging about my lovely time with my blow dryer
I am being led to talk about JAMES the 2nd chapter.
"Don't judge a book by its cover"
-for those who are poor are rich in faith.
-speak and act as if Jesus was judging you.
-faith is dead without works.
- a man shall be judged by his works of obedience and what he believes.
MERCY EXULTS VICTORIOUSLY OVER JUDGEMENT- James 2:26<3

Life Saver

Cry me a river let the tears dry up, but this river flows into an ocean. The floodgates open, drown in pain and suffering as the rest of the world stands uopn islands. I look up to see eyes past the surface. The choppy water makes them dance, looking al lthe more intimidating. Beneath these waves of emotion i have been broken, but at least down here there is silence. I have found an escape from those eyes, eyes filled with judgement, hatred, and disgust. They would like to see me perish in this sea of tradgey.
Shutting my eyes i begin to let go, why blame them for my heartache? When I’m the one who allowes their cruelity into my heart. They didn’t push me. I jumped. I jumped. I jumped. Scrambling now, my lungs begging for air, my body screaming for life. The distance to the top is far too great…then someone pulls my dead body weight back towards the sun light and i take in sweet oxygen. I then look into the eyes of my rescuer. These are different. Instead of judgment they say forgiven, instead of hatred they say love, instead of disgust they say hope. I then expect to be put back on land with the eyes that i can not bear to see, but the savior took me higher, past the land and into the clouds where peace was restored. The redeemer gives me a drink of living water. I throw my head back and laugh with joy.

Beauty.

No matter how great a girl’s hair, skin, nails and clothes are, she will not be truly beautiful unless she shines from within.
She may win beauty contests or get modeling contracts or have boys flocking around her. That means she’s cute, or pretty, or practically perfect from head to toe. That doesn’t mean she’s beautiful.
A beautiful girl can have bad hair days, pimples, and hairy legs. She may not be able to sit still long enough to have a manicure or tweeze her eyebrows or worry that she towers over the whole rest of her class. She is beautiful because she focuses on these Beauty secrets:
Confidence in her God-given talens that smoothes her brow.
Joy that makes her eyes sparkle; honesty that makes them clear.
A sense of FUN that gives her a dazzling smile.
Energy in helping, sharing, and doing her bst that makes her skin glow; kindness that softens it.
Positive encouraging words that make her lips lovely.
Love for God, others, and herself that makes her attractive in a way no one else can.
You don’t need make-up
You don’t need drugs
You don’t need the “right” or “cool” brands
You don’t need to be the “right” size
