Life IS Good

I need to give my blog a whole new makeover. I'll get on that. I want to redo the picture, load more pictures onto my little slideshows, redo my Playlist.... yes. I'll do that. Maybe today, we'll see if I can find a good pic...

Anywhosie. I am in the most optimistic, amazing mood ever. I'm just... joyful. That's it! Joyful! I got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart! Down in my heart!

-bounces around singing at top of lungs-

I've just... Sort of renewed my relationship with the Lord. And He has been so gracious as to instill a joy deep down in me. I've turned on Air1 (local Christian alternative radio station) for the first time in ages and just ahhhh. Me so happy. LOL.

Hummmm dee dummm.

So. I'm hoping that we can go to the movies tomorrow or Sunday. Because Tyler and I want to see Mall Cop. And J., a friend, wants to as well but can only go on Sunday, not Saturday. N. and A. may go too but I am not sure, we have not discussed it, since N. doesn't have a phone right now. Making plans are exhausting! Which is exactly why I don't do it very often. :D

I may ride ol Wyatt this evening... Dingbat horse. Rode him yesterday, we gathered and moved some beef yearlin heifers, and then rode through a pasture and got a count on our Corriente bulls. He was being such a goober! I mean at one point he just boogered and humped his back and when to spinnin in a circle when I pulled his head around... And for no apparant reason! I mean really. -sigh-

Ooooh I'm sure you all know that song played on the Peanuts? Yeah, the Peanuts Theme Song, although it's officially called "Linus & Lucy". Well anyway, my piano teacher, Mrs. M., got the ORIGINAL version for me. Not watered down or anything, and it's like 2 levels above me, but I'm learnin to play it! I just got down the first part, and I'm playing it over and over and over. LOL. My poor family is gonna be so sick of that tune, but it's so cute and fun! I can't play it very fast just yet otherwise I get my counts mixed up but I'm working on it!

Okay so my oh-so-happy post is done now. Oh wait.... Hold on... -screams- Ha sorry. Gotta get my joy out somehow. So I've been dancing and singing all morning! WOOT! Hehehe. Okay I will leave you with a Bible verse and say adieu and hopefully get to work on my blog makeover soon...

"O God, you are my God,

earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you,

my body longs for you,

in a dry and weary land

where there is no water."

-Psalms 63:1

Hum dee dum...

Okay so... Yes. I am ashamed of myself. I sorry. I abandoned my blog completely. But I'm here now so... Maybe I'll gain interest in posting regularly again. =]

Um so... Not a whole lot to talk about really. Had a good Christmas and all! =] My three little cousins were here for two days with my uncle (whom I lufffff), geeze do they just suck the energy out of you. I told my friend Adam it was like we had 3 little tornadoes ripping through the house. He said he knew how I felt because he had 4 little tornadoes in his house that never left. (4 little siblings.) I didn't feel too misfortunate after that.

Right now I have my MySpace playlist playing. I love music. Music is my drug of choice. There are no health hazards involved and there is a song for every day and every mood and every situation. Music is just ah-mazingggg. Mmm. Wonderful stuff, I'll tell you! It's better than coffee and chocolate combined. =]

I get addicted to songs. Like... seriously addicted. To the point where it's ridiculous. Right now I'm not... uber addicted to anything. But I have several songs I am listening to every chance I get haha. These are the songs:

Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie -- Michael Peterson (it's not like it sounds, I swear!)
Nobody's Girl -- Reckless Kelly
When You Say Nothing At All // Don't Close Your Eyes -- Keith Whitley

Keith Whitley is... Oh, man. Keith Whitley is just... Haha there are no words! I love his songs and I love his voice. He died way too young. =[

Anywhoooo. Yesh. Oh! There's a dance tonight! Wooot! -dances- Ha will be fun. :D Sara and I were gonna go to a movie before and she was gonna come home with me after but both those things are still a wee bit uncertain. But the dance will be pretty cooool. Ha I'm excited!

Okay well I'm running out of things to say. Seriously. I'll try and post tomorrow. Adios.

Bible Versezz

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
