| What a beautiful day! I got the opp to wash windows outside for two hours and it was wonderful, sweaty and sticky, but wonderful. Rumor has it that it is an epic surf day in Corpus Christi, Texas. I have a total of 30 minutes that I could get my board, find some bottoms of some sorts, drive to the beach, jump in for a while, and head back to pick kids up for youth. Hmmm...I highly doubt that this will actually happen, but it'd be really nice. I'm just now starting to pick up on some Spanish, perfect timing for a final if you ask me. Praise God! One week and 5 days until I'm done with my last spring semester, EVER!! This is so exciting, and I think I'm really, truly ready for it. By next december I might have changed my mind, but if I do, someone please smack me. ::Time out:: I just had an interesting thought. Why am I writing this all out? I don't really see this blog being beneficial, permissible, but beneficial??? I don't know. Pointless, if you ask my significant other. I think I just need to get a journal finally. Otherwise, I think I'm going to rid myself of a xanga and stick to email and facebook. [That's a really good idea!] Well, thankyou!! Okay, I'll give it a day and see how I feel tomorrow... :) Austa mañana... | | |
| Hello all. It's been a while. Life is crazy and I do not suggest taking 18 hours to anyone, not even people that cut me off in the middle of a morning down pour on the interstate. Whew...praise God though. Okay, I wanted to post b/c I am asking that the few people that actually read this to pray for my mom. She is undergoing tests to find out if what is causing her face to go numb is Multiple Sclerosis. Pray for total healing and that God will be totally glorified through the situation! Thank you so much!!! Isn't it funny (actually rather sickening) that it takes something bad happening to one of those closest and dearest to us to recognize a problem that has been affecting millions for years and years... Whether mom has MS or not, I think it wise for all of us to be aware of it and do what God has enabled us to do to help. If you go to im.live.com and download the MSN Instant Messenger, MSN will donate a portion of its marketing profit to the fight against MS each time you IM someone. It's easy, I did it in 2.76 minutes and it can just plain help. With less love than I wish I had to give... ---allie--- | | |
| I was faced with a decision dilemma today. Of course, the decision need not to be made until the middle of april or thereabouts and it all has to do with my least favorite subject in life: SchOoL. The exact dilemma is not what I want to gander on about, but how anxiety completely clouded my thoughts, words and deeds on hearing of this discombobulation. I was in the middle of a stack of books, thinking, "As soon as I finish these books, I'm going to open my bible up and listen to God." --- Then I said, "God I feel like I'm putting you off." -- "You are." Plain as day, right in my heart. I put aside the stack of books, and started reading my daily Proverb (Praise God for His word), but got interrupted by a bathroom break followed by a short walk around outside in the sunshine. ::I took a deep breath, and came back inside:: Philippians 4:4-9 -- Says to "rejoice" and not to be "anxious about ANYTHING" but to go to God with "thanksgiving" in my heart, and then his peace will "guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus." It even gives me a list of things to give my mind to chew on instead of a premature, ridiculous, scenario-burdened decision process: truth, noble things, right things, purity, love, admirable things, excellent things, and other things that motivate me to praise GoD. His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Praise God! My pastor in Iowa always says this after reading a verse, and today it simply made my heart rejoice! "The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our LORD stands forever!" Amen. | | |
| So...here are some simple thiNgs that make my heart smile at my daddy in heaVen: 1. RunninG down the hallway, jumping and landing on a bouncy bed (extra points for a warm pile of towels to be occupying it.) 2. Desk Chairs that bOunCe when I land on them rather hard 3. When my pet DoG, DiXie, stretches out across my feet when they're cold 4. When I seE a bunch of guYs (specifically at school or youth group) being their gOOfy selves 5. My gramma making cookies, or homemade mashed potatoes, or her famous monKey bread 6. A friend PrayinG for me whEn I didn't even know how muCh I neeDed it 7. FinDing the LOOk of true love in my best friend's eyes, and hoping that my eYes are able to convey the mY love 4 hiM 8. RaIn on a SunDay after churCh with the sun still ShinIng 9. The perfeCt pilloW 10. The feEling of sunShinE warming my eYelids and grasS tickLing my FeeT 10½. SomeoNe faLLing in love with the SavIor | | |
