I was reading on Jenny's blog one day and found a bible verse that just really spoke to me. It's at a time when I need it - times are hard for all of us...and this verse just makes me remember to give it to God - and only worry about things you have the power to change!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 6:4
I had an AWESOME Biblical Perspectives teacher in the fall, Dr. David Nash. He is an amazing person - received a liver transplant in January 1996 when he was on his last leg. He fought back and he is probably one of the most healthy, spiritual people I know. In the Fall of 2008 he brought me back to God - and made me realize that we are all disappointed at times or we just want God to answer our prayers (you know, answer them the way YOU want them answered, not the way GOD answers them)...and that it's okay. We read a book called "Disappointment With God" by Phillip Yancey. If you haven't read it - you should. It gave me a better understanding of the Bible and about how God at times is disappointed too! Read it if you can! It is amazing. I plan to read more of Yancey's work...maybe this summer when I don't have school going on!
Oh and from the previous posts about workout pants - they feel amazing but are WAY too long - so I'll be taking those to my Mom tonight to have her hem them! Why is it that people think that fat girls are tall??? We are usually short - hello?!?!
And on a side note - please pray for my friend (who is more like a sister) Jenny - she is going through a trying time and she needs our prayer.
