I totally forgot I had a Xanga!  Holy cow!  I like what they've done with it too...this is like finding 5 bucks in your jeans.  Except for the fact that I can't spend this, but whatev doood.  I'm lovin it.  :)  How many people really use this though??

So, everyone...I stayed up all night last night to watch the sunrise this morning, and I must say...it was BREATHTAKING!!!  I was moved to tears by GOD'S wonderful craftmanship.  It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful GOD is and how many beautiful things He has given us.  His entire being is to make us happy, as is ours to make Him happy.  How amazing is that???!!!  I can feel His love in my heart and soul...why did it take me so long to feel it, though?  I love spending time with GOD!  I used to be so scared to say that, but God has worked in my heart so much that I want to shout it from the rooftops!  (too bad that's a fine!)  Spring Arborites will get me on that one....  I'm so ready for church today...I'm a little antsy even...and I LOVE THIS FEELING!  

Grace Like Rain--Todd Agnew

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun

I went with my friend, Emily, to her grandma's house yesterday, and we listened to that song so loud in her car!  It was the neatest thing ever.  I loved every minute of it.  I just closed my eyes and felt GOD'S presence in that car at that moment and I felt weak at the knees.  I am so blessed to be graced with the Lord's presence everyday.  He gave his only son to come and die for MY SINS!  I don't know anyone else who would ever do that in a million years!  BUT GOD DID!  What are you going to do for Him today? 

"Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name."

 

So.  Xanga is kind of boring now.  Myspace is going to take over the world.  For now.  Then something else new and exciting will take over. And so on and so forth.  But anywho...I leave for school in 25 days!!!!!!!!!!  Wooooo!!!!!!!!!  I can barely contain my excitement.  I have a question for whoever reads these things...if you only have one eye, are you blinking or winking????  I've been pondering this question for several weeks now and have yet to find the answer.  And...why do they put "Do not operate heavy machinery while taking this medication" on the back of children's tylenol?  Is it to keep those darn 5 year olds off the forklifts??  That's a question I've been pondering for a large part of my life.  Crazy.  I think I have a new addiction.  Sudoku puzzles.  Those things are amazing.  I just can't seem to get enough of them.  I've done like 45 puzzles in the past 2 days.  No joke.  I'm gonna have to get a new book very soon.  And they're not cheap.  This could prove to be a very expensive addiction.  But a good addiction...it's better than an alcohol, drug, or cigarette addiction.  Right?  Right.    Well, I've bored you all long enough.  toodles.
