in him is the fullness of all things

So you may or may not have already noticed this but I seem to have ADD when it comes to the layout for my page seeing as it changes about once a week...but who says things have to stay the same, right? Anyways, tonight I was feeling nostalgic and was going through some of my favorite songs from when I was younger. And I came across this song that spoke so strongly to me and I was so refreshed to find that even now, the Lord is still reminding me of the special one that he has in store for me. Someday By: Larue I don't know if you're near or far away But I know that I'm thinking of you today I don't know if I even know your name But I know that I'm praying for you just the same Someday we'll fall in love You'll be mine and I will be yours Our hearts will be one And our love will ever endure Then I'll need you, and I'll want you And I'll find you someday Then I'll love you, then I'll hold you And I'll be with you always Our love will be...

Boy oh boy oh boy. Well it looks like another week has come and gone and the weekend has officially begun. Well I suppose that the weekend officially begun and 2:50pm, when I got done with my last class but that is neither here nor there. This weekend will be a busy one. Plenty of homework, house work, and other spectacular forms of work. Woe is me. Well, for lack of any creative ideas of my own to post, here is one that I stole off of Lauren 's blog. Who knows, maybe someday I will come up with something this brilliant on my own! 1. Today I am feeling sleepy. Probably because it's approaching midnight . 2. If I were you I'd start reading a good book this next week. don't judge me, I'm just a bookworm ! 3. Love is: something that, in it's purest form, can only be found in Jesus . 4. I always have a mint(because icy fresh breath changes everything! thanks Dentyne Ice) before leaving the house. 5. I feel pretties...

...desires nothing in this world can satisfy, i can only conclude that i was not made for here. Have you ever wondered why goodbyes are so hard? I'm not much of a crier. I can watch the saddest, sappiest, most depressing movie known to man and never shed a tear. Some might call it heartless. I call it being able to acknowledge the fact that these are not real people, they are in fact fictional characters pretending to be real (but that's neither here nor there). Anyways the reason that I bring this up is because there are only 2 things that are a surefire way to break my heart: goodbyes and death(which is basically a goodbye). Goodbyes are hard for us because we were not created to experience separation. Before the fall, Adam and Eve were supposed to enjoy eternal companionship with each other. God told them that if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that they would surely die(gen 2:17). I wonder if Adam and Eve had any inclination of what death was? Death...

So yesterday night, roughly half and hour before new years, I penned my new years resolutions. Here is what they were: +To be characterized by my love and therefore as a follower of Christ +To give with reckless abandon +To leave behind complacency +To fearlessly and unapologetically proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who the Lord has purposefully surrounded me with Now, these seemed like pretty good resolutions to me and I remember thinking "Yeah, these are good. But what are the chances that I will actually keep them?" After all, I'm pretty sure that last years resolutions didn't actually make it past the resolutions stage (In fact, to be completely honest, I dont even remember the resolutions that I made last year). But isn't that how it goes? We decide that this year we will excercise more, read a book every month, learn a new instrument, read our bibles everyday, etc...good resolutions. But not too far down the road, we tend to forget or neglect ...
