Psalm 55:22

I know we're not supposed to hate, but...

UGH!! My English teacher just kills me. She is so freakin rude and just always seems like she hates us. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, and she SMILES when getting on to us. I need to do some serious praying, thats all I can say.

Just needed to get that off my chest.

Humility!!

2009-10-19T08:49:00.000-07:00

I have a friend. We've been friends since 9 monthe before we were born. She is my age, just a few months older than me. This friend is different, though. No, she's not Special Ed or anything, actually, she's far from it. She's SUPER book smart. All A's every year she's ever been in school. But, like I said, she's different. She's not quite as mature as the rest of the people our age. She doesn't have many friends becaudse, well, she can get really annoying. I have tried and tried again to be nice to her but I just can't. Sometimes she drives me completely up the wall. My mom has noticed this, and she has watched me be pretty mean to this friend. So, last night, she talked to me about it., She told me I needed to be nicer. I told her I would try harder. But, when I thought about it more, I realized why I just can't be nice to her. I am full of myself. I try to be SO cool, like I'm SO much better than her. I have learned an amazing lesson of humility through this. The perfect example of humility is, of course, Jesus. In John 13:1-7(which you should read), Jesus washes the disciples' feet. Now, I'm gonna tell you. I hate feet. I hate touching people's feet, I hate people touching my feet, and I hate people's feet touching my feet. So, for me, washing someone's feet would be a big deal. See, in Bible times, the roads weren't paved. They didn't have cars. And they wore sandals everywhere. You can imagine how completely nasty washing someone's feet if they walked around like that would be. Washing feet was such a low job that Jewish servants didn't do it. They got the lowest servants, the Gentiles, to do it. So, you can see how weird it would be to see your Rabi, teacher, bending down to wash your feet. That, my friends, is humility. This took place at the Last Supper, the last dinner before Jesus's death. He knew Judas was about to betray him, but did He wash Judas's feet? Of course! How many of you would truly do something like that to someone who is about to lead people to kill you? I know I'd have a pretty hard time with that. I would tell them there is no was I'd be touching their nasty feet. But this is what is so amazing about this story. Jesus was perfectly selfless. So I challenge you this week to show some humility to that person that just irks you. It could be a teacher, a parent, a sibling, or a classmate. Whoever it is, ask the Lord to help you be humble and kind to them, and, if they're not a believer, pray that you'll be a witness to them!

UGH!

Ok. So I was on the Panheads forum yesterday and this guy throws out the a word. PEOPLE! STOP!! I did say something to him. And then someone said I was "unexposed to the world if you get upset because someone uses mild language on the internet." First of all, I wasn't "upset." I just felt the need to say something because Skillet is a Christian band! And by being on a Skillet forum, you are representing you, your family, God, and even Skillet when you're on there. And by cussing, you are conforming to the world. What does Romans say about this? "DO NOT BE CONFORMED!!!" Good greif.

Whats Up!

So I'm sitting in computer class and I'm bored so I thiught, "I should write in my blog!" so thats what I'm doing. We had the Biology Graduation Exam today :/ It really wasn't that hard, and I got to skip my least favorite class(geometry). So I guess this is a good thing! Tomorrow is the Algebra Grad Exam. Not too excited about that. Just the thought of "This determines wether I graduate or not" is kind of stressful. Good thing we can retake it if we don't pass! So, yeah. I'm listening to "Monster" by Skillet. Its playing on the Panheads fan site, and its the only one that plays, so this is like the 4th time I've listened to it. No other site where I can listen to music is accesable cause of the stinkin blocks the school puts up. I think I may be a rebel and listen to my ipod :) Well. Yeah. It's getting really close to lunch and I'm STARVING! I'm about to write in my Panhead blog. Bye Bye!

Hey all!

Well, school has started back... I'm a sophomore! No longer a stupid freshman:) Well, this week was homecoming week, and today is Friday, so its a crazy day! We just finished Class Olympics and we're in 4th period waiting for lunch. So, my best friend Mara signed me up for Dizzy Izzy. You'd think as a BEST FRIEND she would know how freaking uncoordinated I am. But NO... so I get out there, spin 10 times on the bat(which I couldn't even keep on the floor), then stand up. I'm supposed to be running back, but I am so dizzy that I can't. The floor seems like its tilted sideways and I am running in the completely wrong direction. Then, my friends, I face plant and slide on the ground. My team is laughing so hard they don't know what to do, along with the rest of the 800-something students that go to my school. So I get back up, and I have regained a little balance, and run and slap the next guys hand. Let's just say I was ready to kill Mara! So, yeah, thats how my morning went. After lunch we're going to advisory to get our progress reports :/ and then the quiz bowl, and after that, the PEP RALLY!! YAY!! So, yeah. Now that you have heard my EPIC FAIL, I'll let you go :)

"Extended Absince"

2009-05-28T15:51:00.000-07:00

I am on my uncle's laptop right now because, well, my computer died. :( Sad, huh? well, I call this an extended absince because I won't be able to post while my computer gets fixed. I am also leaving for camp Monday... WOO HOO!!! It's gonna be really fun!!!! Hopefully my computer will be fixed by the time we get back. I really need a new one, but there's a lot of pictures and stuff I need to get off first!!!

My First Post... Let's see how it goes! :D

2009-05-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

This is my very first blog post EVER... lets see how it goes!!!!

First, I shall tell you about my blog's name.
I named my blog Psalm 55:22 for the simple reason that Psalm 55:22 is my all time favorite verse. It says "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous fall." Now can you see why I love it? It is simple and gets the point across, yet VERY powerful. It shows how we don't have to worry about anything, God will take care of us. :)

It is Sunday, the first Sunday of summer break. It doesn't seem like its time for school to be over. I keep thinking I am going to wake up tomorrow morning at 5:30 and go to school like always. But I'm not!! School ended Thursday. Now don't think I'm not happy about this. I'm stoked about this summer! But it's very surreal to me right now.

Well, it's time to end this post. Now I can never say that I never wrote a blog or I would be lying.
Bye!!
