i was just checking out my awesome jc from a couple years ago's blog, and now i really miss berea!! :( hopefully (if i get my form thin filled out and sent in!) i'll be working there this summer, which would be awesome! :) soo, last week was my first week of "normal" school after vacation and interim...it was rather long...sorry if i was acting strange at youth group last night...i was just really frustrated...my day hadn't started off well (literature, and then health...health was what really killed it, we talked about abortion and all the horribleness of it...which was frustrating to me), and then just i guess the way people were acting at youth group didn't help any...whatever...anyways, sorry 'bout that! sooo, i think i'm going to get off the computer, brush my teeth, journal, put up pictures in my room, figure out what i want to do this summer (only 9 weeks of school left!! WOOP!), and work on my application for staff at berea this summer!! :) ttyl!
i'm going through this awesome devos book called "God's Priorities For Your Life For Teens" and it's really good! i would definitely recommend it to anyone. it has little short thoughts on a whole bunch of topics and verses and quotes from awesome Godly authors, etc., to go along with the topic. here are just a couple quotes and verses from the section i read yesterday on patience (anyone who really knows me knows i have issues with patience, and it was really good for yesterday...)
"God is never in a hurry" -Oswald Chambers
"The next time you're disappointed, don't panic and don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control." -Mex Lucado
"When life is difficult, God wants us to have faith that trusts and waits." -Kay Arthur
"Wisdom always waits for the right time to act, while emotion always pushes for action right now." -Joyce Meyer
"God has chosen you and made you His holy people. He loves you. So always do these things: Show mercy to others, be kind, humble, gentle, and patient." -Colossians 3:12 (ncv)
"But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently." -Romans 8:25 (nlt)
Me
- Tori
- "delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." [psalm 37:4-6] i'm trying to live that out everyday (well, the trusting God part and delighting myself in the Lord parts...) some basics: i love Jesus, soccer, and photography (those are my biggies). i'm thinking i want to become a missionary doctor someday, and my living room is going to be the best living room ever!! (i also love my family and friends!) if you want to get to know me better, you're gonna have to talk to me!
