moving mountains

at 03/02/10 12:03PM

God is moving mountains for me. Not because I deserve it, but because He knows I'm serious about getting right with Him and growing up into the Christian woman I need to be.

Today I am thankful for:

-ruined muddy clay that makes me laugh at my stupid mistakes
-Hot pots of coffee
-A wonderful blue journal with lots of listening space
-Stories that are whirling around in the head about old, cold bathrooms and things that go bump in the night
-Colored pencils that make any white more interesting
-Scripture that points out my faults and my potential
-My made-up family (like grandaddy Adam and grandma Whitney)
-Nice weather (oh, yeah!)
-Caroline R. singing her lungs out down the hall-way (we all just need to sing a little more...)

Life is good, and will remain good, no matter what happens, because God is with me still.

Such happy blogs lately! I love it! Glad God is blessing you! :-)

by engelishgentleman at 03/02/10 12:46PM
I love faith and the Lord's blessings!

by brownie at 03/02/10 2:45PM
Whitney's your grandma? I never knew!

by beccaswife at 03/02/10 7:03PM
Lovin' your faith and gratitude, Emmy. Looking forward to you coming back so you can help me obtain more. :-)

by the_rainy_dog at 03/02/10 7:40PM
Excellent list. I especially like that you included that Scripture points out your faults and potential. God loves us as we are, but also wants us to grow to be what we can be :)

by blondechick89 at 03/07/10 1:56PM
All need to sing more indeed! =)

My Song Tonight

at 03/01/10 9:13PM

Sometimes...

........................you're just a little bit happy ^_^

'Cause sometimes...

..............................all of a sudden you remember

That sometimes...

...................................People lose their minds and actually like you

'Cause all the time...

.........................................God's taking care of e-ve-ry-thing!

So sometimes...

.........................Don't worry 'bout a single thing

'Cause sometimes...

................................You get much more than you were expecting

And sometimes...

......................................It doesn't make a spot of sense

But sometimes...

............................................Sense isn't what God ever meant (for you to have!!)

So sometimes!!!

..........................You gotta keep on SINGING!!

'Cause sometimes...

.................................life's just all that AMAZING!!

So sometimes...

.........................................Don't be afraid to act a little bit SILLY!!!

When sometimes...

................................................You think you're going just a little bit CRAZY (over silly boys who don't look like Brad Pitt)!!!!

flutter, flutter, flutter, blub, blub (...cause if this was a music video it would include fish and birds for no apparent reason!!!! [And I hope you just read that last sentence, the one in parentheses in opera...cause it was meant to be in opera...and in fact, it is still very much in OPERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!])

And that is THE END of my song! :-)

Ta Da!

:)

by eladea at 03/01/10 9:39PM
I am happy for you, and your happy song with its fluttering birds and blubbing fish. :-)

by engelishgentleman at 03/01/10 10:06PM
you are out of your mind.

by pierre at 03/02/10 12:00AM
You know, as I was reading this I was totally thinking to myself, "Hey! This would make a really cool song on the radio!!" Great minds think alike, I guess!!

This afternoon, I am: studying for my 3-hr long Personality Psychology Test I have tomorrow night 6-9

Sometime (I don't know when): I am going to read those two huge chapters on Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar AND answer the study questions

Some other time, I am: going finish my clay project

Another time, I will: Study diligently for my Great Books test for Wednesday

At a non-existing time, I will: finish one paper and then write ANOTHER paper for Bible

And all the moments in between, I will: somehow continue to be a decent friend

OK. Break over. Back to reading about social anxiety...

You sound busy. Fancy that. :-) But you're on the home stretch! Last semester! You can do it! :-)

by engelishgentleman at 02/28/10 1:31PM
Senioritist is attacking you with full force. Hang in there.

by pierre at 02/28/10 5:38PM
Love you, Emily! Keep plugging away and it will pass one little (or big) thing at a time. Just think how good it will feel to get to the end of the week and realize it's over! :)

by august28rose at 02/28/10 11:43PM
Sometimes I forget how hectic life at FC can be. While my life is still hectic, I don't have exams anymore, so it's a different kind of hectic--it's a steady, read-and-write constantly kind of hectic, not the panicky how-am-I-supposed-to-remember-all-this-and-then-regurgitate-it-on-a-scantron kind of hectic, for which I am glad. Hang on! You can do it!

Exhausted

at 02/23/10 2:34AM

I know it's early in the morning, "too early" to write a post. But I've been up late, talking with a friend, and doing a bunch of thinking. Now I'm writing... I guess because I'm getting really tired and my brain is wandering, and also because I'm looking for a way to distract it... and I'm also looking for a way to thrash out some feelings. Not bad feelings. Just overwhelming feelings -- spiritually overwhelming... in a good way overwhelming. But in a stressful way. A changeful way. Changes are always very stressful.

You know, I always said I wanted to get married so that somebody - one, constant person - could help me get to Heaven. And I know I'm not married right now. And I know I'm not even dating right now. But I haven't really understood that goal, my own beloved goal -- or really even ever begun to understand that goal -- until right now.

Over the weekend, spirituality, right and wrong, and Heaven have become so much more serious. More real.

Especially God's grace.

Yay!

by engelishgentleman at 02/23/10 6:49AM
Emily, you have a sweet heart. Keep seeking the Lord every day. Heaven will surely be worth anything we face here on Earth.

by celticgirl1787 at 02/23/10 9:07AM
So how has your understanding of said goal changed?
