well, im getting sick again.
earlier i thought it was just allergies, but seeing as i am now running a fairly high fever and my whole body hurts..
well i dont think thats allergies.
but the real task at hand, besides preventing yet another "attack of the fever blisters!", i am preparing for tonights bible study.
Lauren mentioned to me that we're kind of doing the names of God and that if i needed an idea i could just stick to that. I didnt know we were doing that, but it helps a lot having some direction. Last week Lauren talked about Jehovah Jireh, meaning "My Provider", which then spurred on the group singing of part of the song "Jehovah Jireh". Good times. Although they could've been better if one of us had a tambourine. Tonight, i'm talking about El Shaddai which means.. well it means a lot of things. Some speculate that it could mean "to over power", "to treat with violence", "devastator", or "destroyer" and those don't make sense at all. God has destroyed and He will continue destroy things that he is created because of their corruption, but El Shaddai definitely does not mean that God treats all things with violence and devastation. Every other name for God repels that image. Isaiah is full of stories of God wrath, but God's love is behind it all. Another meaning of El Shaddai is "God of the mountain", which i think translates into God above all. He is God of the earth and sea and everything else that exists. Ever hear the phrase "I feel like im at the top of the world"? I think El Shaddai represents that God protects because he is ON TOP. There is no one like him and the top of God's mountain is a place that no one can reach by themselves. But we've still got to keeping climbing.
Another thing.
God deserves everyone's praise. God deserves everyone's lives! God's name is so powerful, yet we forget how powerful it is. When we think of our names, we think of our entire self. When someone hears your name, they remember certain qualities that you have, and probably remember whether they like you or.. whether they dont. This is why God's name is so important. It's a part of His glory.. Yes, his name! As are our's. When you are praised for something you've done would you rather hear "Hey you, nice job." or "Hey Brooklyn, nice job." It just sounds right. Its YOU there are talking about not just any ole "you".
A verse in Isaiah says, "For my own name's sake i delay my wrath, for the sake of my praise i hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off. I have refined you though not as silver. I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, i do this. How can i let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another."
He ever repeats Himself..."for my own sake..." He is not a conceited God. He just has to keep reminding us how great and powerful and all-deserving He is.. because we just simply forget.
That's all for now, my fever and what not are getting the best of me. I should probably lay down for a wee bit before bible study. | | |
| yesss...
i need a lot lately.
but its more like a want kind of need.
just so you know.
i should probably go to bed now, actually.
instead of saying what i thought i was going to say.
i thought it was still today and, turns out it's already tomorrow.
i got a strange call today.
and i saw a strange movie.
and the back of my neck feels strange right now.
i hope i have relatively normal dreams. those are so amazing. a dream where you do nothing.
yet its still memorable.
alright, goodnight. | | |
| good song by andrew bird.
okay, todays list.
1. i dont like it when supposed best friends talk about each other to me. one leaves, one will gossip. then they leave, the other comes, and talks about the people who just left. some friendship.
2. i love the way riverside feels today.
3. i drank way too much french berry lemonade yesterday and i ended up having some pretty interesting dreams, the likes of which i will not share with you right now.
4. i tend to keep things that i dont need to keep. I know i will never use them, but i cant bring myself to get rid of them.
5. i wish i could run down, get in my very own car, and drive wherever the heck i want to drive. today i would probably drive to CVS and buy some milk and then go to target and buy some of those awesome pretzel balls covered in milk chocolate and a set of forks and then i might just head over to walmart and buy some polaroids. then i would go to best buy and get one of those memory card readers and finally, i would go to mcdonalds and get chicken mcnugg's and french fries. mmmm, so close yet so far away.
6. i am in such a procrastinating mood.
7. live your life until love is found, or loves gonna get you down.
8. i feel like playing in the rain on some giant slip n slide. and then probably.. getting sick.
9. i'm having an extremely good hair day, but i cant go outside and show the world. the world is indoors today.
10. im really fond of Panera and am sad that i havent been able to enjoy it thus far in life. who knows how cool of a person i would be if i had known about its amazingness sooner. i am also fond of the keyboard i happen to be typing on right now. and to end this parade of fondness, i am entire too fond of John Krasinski sometimes.
11. i wish my bed weren't so small and i wish i could have a million pillows on it.
well, so much for a list. more like random trains of thought. | | |

So here. I'm updating this bloggyblOg. Take it. Its fresh.
Tonight, the night after the day of my grandmother's 66th birthday, I made her quite the glorious gift.
It was originally a little wooden chest, and now!
its a colorful wooden chest with her name on it in pearls. oh ya gotta see it.
I'll upload a picture.. later...
(right.)
well, courtney watson.
this is for you.
yo yo yo what what!
my name is b.r. killin'
i aint like no other villian
everytime i drink my milk
my milk starts a'spillin'.
i aint got knobby knees
and neither do you
i wish i had a fro
or maybe hair like you
courtney, twiddle your thumbs
until we eat lunch together
then we laugh all the way
(oh no, theres heather!)
we stop at Ah'So
and see nothin we like
then we we get bombarded by hot guys
all of them named mike.
we're like let just eat out side
and maybe then go for a ride
in your little beaner car
and stop in to star--
bucks! (pause, pause, pause)
which is where your bff
steffanie, works her fingers to the bone
you both got each other
at least you're not alone! :o
heidi klum says we're out
and we say, "you're dead!"
its always in and out and in and out...
thats what she said.
IM OUT Y'ALL.
IM OUT.
PEACE.

| HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO PASS MATH????
i really wish i knew the answer to this question.
no, i know the answer. if the question said "how the heck do people pass math?"
well, then of course the answer would be "do your homework, study hard, possibly join a math study group, and meet with your teacher when you dont understand the homework."
to that load of b.s. i say WHATEVER.
because while it works for most people, there are some of us who still dont understand it.
i absolutely loathe math with every particle of me.
especially math115. Algebra 2 to be exact. I dont think i am going to pass.
thats the sad sad truth of it all.
and right now im going to sit here, and study. math. and pray hard.
and then i will get back to you when it is all said and done and let you know if i feel any smarter...
