Simply Amazing

it's been a while...

I'm back!!! Sorry it's been a while, to be honest i've forgotten about this thing :)!
Newest thought that i wanted to share: knowing that God has control over my life, instead of me is the definition of SIMPLY AMAZING!
Idk about you readers, but i'm so indecisive it drives me nuts, and power scares me. So thinking that i have power over my own life scares me! That's where God's grace comes in.

His plan
His timing
my life WITH Him

Today is Good Friday, and as I sit here in the mist of a current stuggle that I am going through I am finding myself more and more driven by Satan into worry. I am striving for the cross, but failing
Right now I ask for prayers, and I hope that today, and this weekend, everyone including me can just sit and allow the awesomeness of what Christ did set into our hearts

school stress

2010-03-09T18:00:00.001-08:00

So this week is supposed to be my spring break. Well luckily for me I have to take the ACT again. Stressing out is my main problem and yet with this subject I can't seem to settle my nerves. This is now my second question out to bloggers and I'm asking for a response.
Any advice for me and the terrible ACT???
It would be really appreciated.
Thursday morning if you'd like to pray.
Sorry it's so short, off to studying again!
Simply amazing.

Body pain

2010-03-01T18:21:00.000-08:00

So i've been thinking, I recently fell on ice and even for a 20 year old am very sore. As i laid in bed last night, unable to movce, i wondered, when things on your body are hurt do you want to favor them because you know you can't lay on that side, or because you normally do?
Let me elaborate. I know for a fact I usually fall asleep on my right side, but since my left is hurt i was dying to lay on that last night. Was it because i mentally knew i couldn't without pain, or was it because when i'm asleep i roll on that side?
It's kind of like when your throat hurts and you realize how much you swallow, is it becasue you always do that much or because you realize it more while it hurts?
Any suggestions.

Through my fall i still find things that are simply amazing. As you all know about my mother, you know we are crazy fools with head injuries. During my fall i hit my head, and there happened to be a mat not where it was supposed to be and off to the side, being exactly where my head hit, instead of the cement step. Thank God!

Memory Lane

Does anyone else remember how amazing it was to be little when snow came? You never thought far enough into the future about how you would be going to school more in the summer, but you LOVED being off for the snow.
It was the killing anticipation each night, even wearing your pj's inside out ((wherever that came from???)) and waiting to wake up and your mom to tell you to go back to bed, even though you never did.
You never had to worry about driving in the snow, or how bad the roads were. As a matter of fact I remember thinking more than once to throw snow ONTO my street hoping I didn't have to go to school.
....those were the good days....

Family

2010-02-15T18:25:00.000-08:00

So Saturday night my two sisters and father decided to surprise my mom with a 50th birthday pary; since we were already having her family over for a Valentines Day party. Let me just say it was perfect, my oldest sister and dad dreally out-did themselves. After dinner and the surprise we all went around and told my mom what she means to us. After hearing my mom's sisters, dad, and step-mom talk, it made me realzie how much family really means to me. Not only have I been blessed with a family that follows Christ, and helps me grow, but they really show me what love is. Throughout all of the hard times my family sticks together.
Two and a half, three in July years ago, my mother had blood on her brain and was immediately put under emergency brain surgery two days later. Although death could have been a possibility, the main thing that we struggled with was how my mom would be different after the surgery. Thank God all went well and she was fine. But yet again, throughout everything my family continued to grow close.
Through the fights, the arguments, the hard times, and the things we couldn't imagine happening my family is always there. That, my friends, is simply amazing.

Unknown t.v. shows worth watching

2010-02-10T16:06:00.000-08:00

My parents and I last night started watching the series 'West Wing'; for those of you who don't know it's about the inside look on the White House, or supposidly. Keep in mind I'm a faithful Disney Channel watcher, and I don't really understand dry humor, but this is really worth watching. Not only did it keep my mom and I entertained (which is a big deal, if you know us) but it was enjoyable. None of the sex cycled things on t.v. now.
Another television show that is still on that I firmly believe everyone in the world should watch is '30 Rock'. Talk about HILARIOUS!
These shows remind me that there are directors who care more about the same crap that is on t.v. now. Its a breath of fresh air compared to everything else.
Toon in!

First Day

2010-02-08T08:58:00.000-08:00

So I'm new at this whole 'blogging' thing, but I'm really excited.
A little about me; I write, and I tell you this right off the bat, because I assume that's what most of this blog will eventually turn into. I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a Christian, the girl in the back of class who won't stop laughing, a text addict, a best friend, ect. I play many roles, but at the end of the day I stay true to myself =)

So last night was the Superbowl, yeah good job Saints. But as I laid in bed last night and thought of all the money that was spent on tickets, beer, commercials, the Who, team jerseys, the t-shirts at the end that had the Saints winning on them, I couldn't stop myself from thinking 'wouldn't it be amazing if some of that money went to Haiti?' Now keep in mind I truly don't know that it didn't, and I hope some of the proceeds did contribute to the country, but if it didn't happen I sincerely feel bad for the money we're spending on a football game, rather than a country in a desperate time of need.

Last but not least, the name of this blog is 'simply amazing'. I choose this due to the fact for the moments in life that take your breath away, the unanswered prayers when you realize God really was listening and didn't respond for a reason, and all the moments in between that we so often take advantage of. They are all simply amazing!
