Psalm 62:5-8

[5] My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
[6] He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
[7] On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
[8] Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out
your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
  • swiftblades
    Amen.

Heading to Florida tomorrow mornin...have a great week ya'll!! :)


Randomness =)

The studies were fantastic as always...

We had a band contest on Saturday morning...we got gold!!! yay! lol

Florida in 5 days!!!

Probably need to go study for some tests but first....

...here's an article called "Each Day" by Max Lucado (I know some of you already heard it but most of you haven't so...lol) It's kinda long but I really liked it so...

~~Each Day~~

It's quiet. It's early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep. The day is coming.

In a few moments, the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding of the human race. The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day's demands. It is now I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I'm free to choose. And so I choose.

I CHOOSE LOVE…No occasion justifies hatred;no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love.Today I will love God and what God loves.

I CHOOSE JOY…I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.I will refuse the temptation to be cynical…the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings,created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.

I CHOOSE PEACE…I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.

I CHOOSE PATIENCE…I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I'll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.

I CHOOSE KINDNESS…I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone.I will be kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

I CHOOSE GOODNESS…I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will
accuse. I choose goodness.

I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS…Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.

I CHOOSE GENTLENESS…Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle.If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it only be in prayer. If I make a demand, may it only be of myself. I am a spiritual being…After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot rule the eternal.

I CHOOSE SELF-CONTROL...I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
