Well, I have made it through midterms...
I am exhasted but in my heart is at peace
Thank you specifically to Jeremy and Ashley for being there for me in my moments of desperation...but mostly,
Thank you Jesus for being there ALWAYS in moments of panic, desperation, exhastion, saddness. Thank you for the sun shining gently on my face right now. Thank you for naps of deep sleep. Thank you for funny inside jokes that never grow old. Thank you for being my help in times of trouble. Thank you for worship music...music in general that seems to speak my heart better than i ever could. Thank you for the beauty and simplicity of life when i trust all to You. Thank you that you have patience for me because i rarely trust all to You. Thank you that you know how desperate and pathetic I am, how half-hearted my devotion to You is...and yet You love me and use me whenever I am willing. And still You see me as Your beautiful one.~
Life is better when you are praising Him....everyone who reads this, comment about AT LEAST one thing you are thankful for because of Him!
Memory of the Day: jammin out with all my girls in Tahoe...always! :)
Your Child, Kate

I am thankful that He is the Truth when there are always so many lies - He is everlasting, this world is temporary. THANK YOU JESUS!
we need to praise Him more! Amen sister!
I am thankful for him being compasionate and understanding and for being patient with me. I know I screw up a lot, but He is always patient with me.
We need to worship Him so much more. I find myself praying and asking for things all the time when I should be praising and thanking Him for the things that he already has given me. So Thank you Jesus for being forgiving and understanding and patient to such an unworthy person such as myself.
-Mark
Praise the Lord all my soul! Praise Him for all He is!
Thank you God for loving me, a sinner, who is not worthy of such love. Thank you for having favor upon me and for sending your Holy, Awesome Son to die in my place!!
I am thankful for the infinite patience that God gives me and for all the brothers that He has provided me with.
I am thankful that He speaks to me personally, that He loves me more than I love myself, that He IS worth it, that He hasnt forgotten about me, that He's not done with me.
But way more importantly, I am thankful that He is a God of love, of infinite power, of justice, of passion. His character is so worthy of being glorified.
Here is a question to anyone who has been a Christian for awhile and heard the Christian slogans more than enough. One of the more popular ones is "Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin." My question is: Why isnt that slogan "Love the Sinner"? Is there any reason we are forced to hate the sin in their life? What has God truly called Christians to do? Now i am not totally convinced on this (it may be me just trying to detach from my natural pharasee tendency) but isn't God supposed to take care of sins, and we are supposed to just love? Jesus made it clear that there are things Christians should do. Before He ever spoke about not sinning, and especially before he mentioned hating all sins, He talked about LOVE. #1 commandment= LOVE GOD. (interesting sidenote... the word YAHWEH in the old testemant speaking sounds like breathing. Say it whispering and you will get it. Therefore God designed it that the first thing we do when we are born is say His name, the last thing we do before we die is say His name, and throughout the day all we can do is say His name, or we die. It is true that the nature screams his name.) #2 commandment= LOVE EVERYONE. What are non-believrs going to be attracted to, love or judgement. Trust me on this, i know truth needs to be there because hell is real and grace isn't ignoring sins. God will take care of people's sins if they are truly diving deep into God, so why do we have to even worry about anything but loving the person and showing them God? So... to make all my random babbling and put it into one final clear thought, why hate peoples sins (and teach others to hate sins) when we can just love them for who they are?
Another side not... A couple of weeks ago there were some all-truth, no grace legalistic people on campus. They drive me nuts... yet i know when push comes to shove, if not for Christ that is what i would be. Realizing that (which i have known for awhile) is a humbling experience. Shows Gods grace that he would die to love the Pharasee that killed Him. You ever think, what if i was on earth when Jesus lived, i would have stepped up and been there for Him and never killed Him. In used to think like that until reality hit me and i realized i prolly would have lead the killing of Him because my pride would have been killed by the things he taught. I am one who killed Jesus. I cant even say it was my sins... because if i would have been alive... it would have been me. And yet, he shows grace and loves... who the heck does that make sense??? If there is one thing God has been teaching me it is that without Jesus i am utterly useless. period... without Christ i am nothing... so why hate people for being in the same place as me???
