New Years Revolutions

So I am sitting here... Listening to... You got it, Chris Daughtry. Seriously guys, here is a list of songs by this guy you need to hear:

-Over You
-All These Lives
-What I Want
-Used To

Addicted to all 3. This guy rocks... "He" is actually a "them". He was a part of a band called Absent Element before American Idol. During AI he recieved an offer to become the lead singer in a popular band when he sang one of their songs on the show, but rejected the offer, and started his own band, called Daughtry, after the show. Amazing what you can find out about people by punching their name in the search bar on http://www.answers.com/. ;)

Anyway. I was thinking... New Year's. Well I'm still sick. But I didn't really get to celebrate New Year's Day, or Eve. And I was thinking... What do people do on New Years Day? Well lots of things I imagine, but mostly make New Year's Revolutions. I really...

Wait. That doesn't sound right.

New Years Revolutions? Oh wait, Resolutions. Yeah. There we go. Anyway.

I myself have never created such a list... But there is a first time for everything, am I right? So I figured I might as well make a list. They may not be kept... But that is the goal, right? These are things I want to do this year, or want to happen, or whatever...

Caitlin's New Year's Resolutions:

-Continue to grow and become stronger in my relationship with the Lord

-Not lose or majorly damage my precious iPod

-Learn to play The Pink Panther and Lucy & Linus on the piano

-Learn some songs on the piano that I KNOW... like... songs on the radio

-Keep in better touch with two close-in-heart but far-in-miles friends

-Go for an adrenaline-rushing gallop across the pasture bareback on Wyatt... without falling off

-Eat healthier and get more excercise, consistently (how common is this?)

-Be much nicer to my older brother

-Be able to look back at the end of every day and find something that I am proud of

Sound pretty good to me don't'cha think?

Well my little cousins are gonna be here soon... *sigh* I shall then proceed to hide in my room and be sick and chill to Chris Daughtry for approximately 2 hours... And then Momma and I will head tot own. *sigh* We need to send something in the mail that has to be post-marked TODAY but we forgot to put in the mailbox. And she needs milk... Cuz that's all my little cousins will drink. And we need to pick up my glasses. *sigh* Yeah I haven't been wearing them at all for about 2 weeks cuz one of the lenses wasn't right and they had to fix them.... Yeah. And then we will come back. And will try to hide in my room. Jade will wanna bug me and Jace too but I am sick. And I don't wanna get them sick. Really, I don't! Okay so I will kind of be hiding from them, but still, I am being considerate. So I will get Momma to drag them outta there I bet.

Anyway. Yeah. Don't feel sorry for me, hiding in my room... In solitary confinement.

Quarantined. My good friend Chris Daughtry shall keep me company.

*cough, sniffle, blows nose, sneeze, cough*

Well... It won't hurt if you feel sorry for me a little bit.

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

-2 Corinthians 12:9-10

*-*-*-*-*

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or recieved or heard from me, or seen in me- put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

-Philippians 4:8-9

*-*-*-*-*

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverence; perseverence, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

-Romans 5:3-5

*-*-*-*-*

We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in His death we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done awawy with, that we shold no longer be slaves to sin.

-Romans 6:2-6

*-*-*-*-*

Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, for you are not under law, but under grace.

-Romans 6:13-14

*-*-*-*-*

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending us his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.

-Romans 8:1-3

*-*-*-*-*

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things. Now we know that God's judgement against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgement on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgement?

-Romans 2:1-3

*-*-*-*-*

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.

-Romans 8:18

*-*-*-*-*

It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.

-Romans 9:16

*-*-*-*-*

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposese and some for common use?

-Romans 9:20-21

*-*-*-*-*

"By myself I can do nothing. I judge only as I hear, and my judgement is just, for I seek not to please myself, but Him who sent me."

-John 5:30

*-*-*-*-*

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

-Matthew 10:37-39

*-*-*-*-*

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

-Colossians 3:16-17

*-*-*-*-*

God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.

-2 Thessalonions 1:6

*-*-*-*-*

Lord, who may dwell in Your sanctuary? Who may live on Your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart, and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong, and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury, and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

-Psalm 15

*-*-*-*-*

I am still confident of this; I will see the fondness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heed and wait for the Lord.

-Psalm 27:13-14

*-*-*-*-*

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind, and therefore have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

-Lamentations 3:19-24

*-*-*-*-*

Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

-Romans 5:18-19

*-*-*-*-*

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

-Romans 5:10
