A Starry Night

I love looking at the stars at night. People who live in the city miss out on one of God's amazing masterpieces. The other night I was pondering how crazy it is that the stars are so far away. It looks like God took a white pen and started dotting spots all across the sky. I remember my dad telling me that the stars are best seen when the temperature is cold outside, because the clouds aren't blocking the view of the stars. I like those chilly evenings. I used to want to go to space...I thought it would be so cool....now, I'm not so sure. :) My mom just asked me about what I was writing about, and I told her the stars. She asked me, "Are you talking about God's stars, or the dumb ones [that are on TV]?" Haha you gotta love my Mama. She is such a realist, but I wouldn't change her for the world. You know, I have a heart for the celebrities out in this world (even the dumb ones). When Brittney Spears was going through her "rough time" a few years ago, I felt bad for her. I don't agree with all the choices she's made, but I feel bad knowing that she's always being idolized. That must be a really tough position to be in. Bebo Norman wrote an a apology for her in his song "We're Sorry". Here is the post:

The Blessings of a Sunday

Today the sermon at church was on Jesus' suffering and the temptation He faced before the cross. He could have decided that He didn't want to die for the sins which he never committed, instead He chose to do God's will. Wow! Just knowing that God loves me sooooo much is really incredible! He willing died on the cross for my sins.  I don't deserve his love or grace, yet He still gives it to me freely. I am so glad I serve the God that I do! Also, when Jesus faced temptation, He prayed....and you know what? He never sinned. He was victorious over the temptation that made Him sweat blood. That is powerful!

Last night I pitted cherries with my brother and sister. It was a good time to hang out with each other, and share some laughs. My sister and I did get into a little disagreement, but it was cool because after/during our disagreement we both realized we need to spend more time with God (we were both lacking quality time with Him). God has a way of taking our mistakes and turning them into good. So, as much as pitting cherries is a tedious task, it normally provides some good memories for my family. I am so thankful for the family God has placed me in. I have learned a lot from them....even my younger sister who thinks I never listen to her. :)

Well, tonight is the premiere of The Next Food Network Star....I am excited to see what challenges they will have. I get to spend time with my gram and my sister, so it should be fun!

Week of Memorial Day

So, I started my internship this week. It has been challenging, but a lot of fun! I love my co-workers and I love the fact that I can get dressed up and wear heels. haha I went to my cousin's grad party today....got to visit with my family. Babysitting tonight. Church tomorrow. College and Career Party afterward at the lake house. It should be fun. Speaking of lake, I think I'm going to buy a swimsuit from the website limericki.com. They have really cute prints, and they're modest....which is a definite plus. :)
Well gotta go,
