｡･: There is no one like our God :･ﾟ

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28

Buh, this video! It's amazing... I love it.

Today was a pretty good day.. though I felt really cabin fever-ish being stuck inside and what not. Poopy weather, can't wait till nice Spring weather! D: lol I worked out today and drew today! Went through my closet... and did laundry.

I started packing for my journey home :0 which is in four days! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm so excited to be able to go home.. and so thankful as well.

I'm getting all what I need to work on (cosplay) wise.. getting a game plan! Haha, and also planning on what I'm gonna cook for our party. And the other things I have in store >33

"We sometimes experience things in life that make us feel as though we are being shattered; however, most of our earthquakes are small in comparison to the loss of life...... Perhaps you have experienced some horrendous earthquakes in your childhood, and life since that time has been one aftershock after another. Struggles with our weight are part of the aftershock effect. I have good news for all of us today: God cares where we've been. He was there when we were going through the quake, and He hated every minute we suffered." 

When I read that, it always brings me to tears. He was there with me and HATED every minute of it. God loves us so much. He loves me so much... I feel so much love.. and when I feel down I need to remember that, God loves me. What else matters? Nothing, it really doesn't. He has so much faith in me, I need to put all my faith in Him.

I want to spread His love.

We are blessed! Glorify Him everyday! If you ever need encouragement text me :)))

Love you guys, see you soon!!

Day Four: XP

Sorry I didn't post yesterday.. I seriously passed out at like 8:00 p.m. ish and woke up at 6:20 a.m. I totally didn't get to read my devotional or any of my book.. I really didn't devote any time to God yesterday.. only a little bit :(

Today I didn't get to either.. Rather I didn't make time for it. I've just been in this un-motivated, depressed kind of state. You know when you hear that voice in your head, "You're never going to make it, just give up now." Well I'm being attacked right now by that voice.

I need to conquer it. Excuse me while I do today's devotional and blog about it.

Guys, we need to trust in Jesus, our faith glorifies God!

"He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;"
- Romans 4:20

Do not grow weary in your faith, everyday live for His glory.

I need to start waking up and the first thing I do is devote time to God. I need to grow stronger everyday and not the opposite.

Today was overall an okay day. We drove over the Bay Bridge which is in Annapolis. It was really amazing! The waters were really pretty. We went to Whole Foods which has amazing fruit selection :) The snow started to melt today but I'm glad I got to see it fall!

6 more days till I'm in Oklahoma! I'm so very excited!

Stay strong guys! I love you all and miss you!

(Sorry for the short blog today)

Day 2: Snow

We got snow last night! Like two inches of it! And it's suppose to snow like all day tomorrow (Friday)! I love watching the snow fall.. and getting cozy in the house, hee.

Alright! Before you turn up your noses to this video.. just STAHP. I love this song and this version. The country reminds me of my childhood and this song.... has really helped me rebuild my relationship with God. Just like the song says, "take everything to God in prayer." Just listen to it, it makes me want to worship God when I hear it! I love this song! Plus the pipe organ in the background reminds me of my church at home. <3

"Can we find a friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness.
Take it to the Lord in prayer."

My devotional today brought good news: Yes we do all fall short of the glory of God, but guess what? God sent his son to die on the cross for us! Jesus condemned our sins. God did it out of love for us! God offers us freedom through forgiveness and through substituting His son for us so all of our failures to live for the glory of God can be and are through faith forgiven.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1

In my book, "Back on Track", I learned: God knows where we are. I shall give you a sample.

"The most exciting part about God's knowing where we are right here, right now, is that He never condemns us or berates us for our failures or for our feelings of failure. If we are overweight, depressed and without hope today, God has good news for us. God knows all about your situation and mine, and those situations are not dark to Him. If we're feeling condemned instead of comforted by the knowledge that God knows, then our belief system about God is faulty."

A common common COMMON trend I am seeing: take it to God in prayer.

PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY! :)

8 more days till I come home to Oklahoma! Eeee! I'm so stoked. I've got some awesome things planned for our Valentine's (early) Day party/dinner! I can't wait to cook for all of you guys and just share in love. I really miss you all :3 I can't wait to see my family! I miss them like super crazy too! I really can't wait to go to my home church! I really want to try out this church up around the corner.. but I'm afraid to XP Need to muster up the courage. I'm a big girl!

I didn't work out today, the cleaners came.. it was crazy. I'll have to workout double time tomorrow! I need to stay away from the chips and salsa.. haha. I only have two more days left of the Daniel Fast! Next week is the true challenge.. to still loose weight while I have free reign over all the foods. Something that I need to take to God in prayer ;) But I'm super stoked to have coffee! It's been more than three weeks! /dies

I'm also gonna have a pig out on Sunday! Hopefully it doesn't make me sick lol!

Love you all! Update ya'll tomorrow!

P.S. I had a dream that I got shot in the leg.. and another dream I was a ballerina! That one was magical! :)))
