Creativeness

I do an incredible amount of thinking and writing stories and poems. And lately I have been thinking about random TV shows and how if I was a writer for them what kind of stories I would write about...

If I wrote an episode of Criminal Minds I would get into Penelope Garcia's history and have her discover that she had a sister and that they were both adopted....her going with the Garcia family and her sister Juniper, who went with the McBride family.

If I write an episode of CSI: NY. I would spice things up between Stella and Sid...(hehe) and how much it bothers Mac that they are an "item" because Mac has the hots for Stella, but never told her face to face.

Okay, now my brain won't explode....haha....see how I am with too much coffee??

Anyway, that's for reading this almost pointless, but rather entertaining blog.
God Bless!

*Sigh*

This school semester has been off to a REALLY fast start. It seems like I've been in school only like a week, but his is the end of the 2nd week. I am not in a huge work load this semester, but with losing my math homework, I have been doing a lot of catching up...plus, misunderstood my 2nd assignment in Cultural Geography, so I got a 0 for that. :(

This semester I am taking 5 classes

Symphonic Band: I am currently 2nd flute....but the professor might move me to 3rd clarinet.

Beginning Piano: This teaches the absolute basics of music and theory and how to play cords and piano...very easy so far with my 10 years of music experience.

Cultural Geography: This has been an interesting class and I am looking forward to seeing the world through the cuture aspect. (Physical geography I took last semester had a very different outlook.

Nutrition and Life Fitness: I know that I need to eat better, and I don't know a lot about the science behind food and what's the best to eat....plus the PE is kicking my butt, which is REALLY good.

Elementary Statistics: I am re-taking this math class because I failed it 1 year ago and I need this as a requirement to graduate and get both my AA degrees. This time, however, I am taking it with the most popular and the most widely sought out Stats professor at Sierra College.


And, I also work on the weekends, so natrually, the days are flying faster than they have ever have before. I am getting an increase in hours also and I hope that keeps up. I am saving MOST of my FAFSA checks so that I can use the remainder of it for transferring to Northwest Nazarene University so I don't have to get into so many school loans.

It has been SO crazy that I haven't had a lot of time to think about the last 5 months of living in California....someone I hadn't seen in a long time suggested to me to throw a goodbye party. I hadn't given it that much thought...and I think that it is a wonderful idea....I'd probably have to have two/three parties....one for family who still lives here in this area.....one with my friends (growing up and school) and one with my coworkers....although probably no one will show up.

But yeah, life has been busy.....
God bless you guys and have a great weekend!!

Proverbs 24

Proverbs 24 (New American Standard Bible)

Proverbs 24
Precepts and Warnings
1Do not be (A)envious of evil men,
Nor desire to (B)be with them;
2For their minds devise (C)violence,
And their lips (D)talk of trouble.
3(E)By wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4And by knowledge the rooms are (F)filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
5A (G)wise man is strong,
And a man of knowledge increases power.
6For (H)by wise guidance you will wage war,
And (I)in abundance of counselors there is victory.
7Wisdom is (J)too exalted for a fool,
He does not open his mouth (K)in the gate.
8One who (L)plans to do evil,
Men will call a schemer.
9The (M)devising of folly is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
10If you (N)are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited.
11(O)Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
12If you say, "See, we did not know this,"
Does He not (P)consider it (Q)who weighs the hearts?
And (R)does He not know it who (S)keeps your soul?
And will He not (T)render to man according to his work?
13My son, eat (U)honey, for it is good,
Yes, the (V)honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
14Know that (W)wisdom is thus for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a (X)future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
15(Y)Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not destroy his resting place;
16For a (Z)righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the (AA)wicked stumble in time of calamity.
17(AB)Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18Or the LORD will see it and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.
19(AC)Do not fret because of evildoers
Or be (AD)envious of the wicked;
20For (AE)there will be no (AF)future for the evil man;
The (AG)lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21My son, (AH)fear the LORD and the king;
Do not associate with those who are given to change,
22For their (AI)calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?
23These also are (AJ)sayings of the wise
To (AK)show partiality in judgment is not good.
24He (AL)who says to the wicked, "You are righteous,"
(AM)Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him;
25But (AN)to those who rebuke the wicked will be delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
26He kisses the lips
Who gives a right answer.
27Prepare your work outside
And (AO)make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterwards, then, build your house.
28Do not be a (AP)witness against your neighbor without cause,
And (AQ)do not deceive with your lips.
29(AR)Do not say, "Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work."
30I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man (AS)lacking sense,
31And behold, it was completely (AT)overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with (AU)nettles,
And its stone (AV)wall was broken down.
32When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
33"(AW)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,"
34Then your poverty will come as a robber
And your want like an armed man.

There is nothing else to say. Just let this passage condemn you and pray to God to forgive you. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Nervousness

Last night it finally hit me...I got nervous thinking about moving to Idaho...and that's SO weird. Hmmm....that's Devil, but you can go away and STAY away. I don't need you making my decision to following Christ where He called me.

Devil I have these words for you: STAY OUT OF MY WAY...I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU...I'LL MAKE SURE JESUS SQUASHES YOU LIKE A BUG. :) :P

Haiti

We all just need to take a moment out of our busy lives to pray for those affected by the tragity that struck the country of Haiti (and those who are tied to that country).

Father God, I pray that you bring peace to those who are affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Father bless each mother, father, child, American and other peoples that live, work and are associated in any way with Haiti. Thank you Jesus and that there are survivors. In Jesus name. Amen.
