football.

i am my father's child. i just yelled at the tv.
let's go utah!
utah vs. notre dame. saturday, november 13th.

my dad got to go to chicago and go watch the game with some of his buddies.

i miss my dad. i really like spending time with him, just following him around and talking with him.

God lives in me?

forgiveness. i pray for that for a certain someone everyday. and that i am filled with the joy of the Lord. 

did you all realize that God, the Creator of all, the Creator of the tiny dew drops that cover the green blades of grass, the petals of the colorful flowers, the multicolored leaves that lay on the ground and in the trees that cover the mountains, the tall tall mountains, the grey clouds that linger above my head getting heavier and heavier with different shapes and sizes of snowflakes that will one day fall. the Creator that makes it rain and snow, sun shine....i have been realizing that i need to rely more on God and not what the weatherman says. the weathermen can predict what the weather may or may not be like, but God can totally change it and do what He would like for it to do. and our Creator, Lord, Friend, Mighty One, Light of the World....He lives in ME and He lives in YOU! think about this........all that power, strength, creativity, love.....lives in YOU and ME! woah baby! 

dwell on it.

thank You God for sending me Your Holy Spirit to live in me. 

things are going a lot better in life. i die to myself daily. and i look to the Lord. my Friend. 

i may be "alone" but let's just stop here and get over myself. God has blessed me with so many people. my friends may not be the "one" that i want, but hello...it's not time. i need to stop and be thankful for the blessings God has so graciously given me even when i don't deserve them.

my dad was talking about a sermon that he heard today at the church he attended. and it was about how God gives us gifts/blessings and how we feel like we have to work for them and try to earn them instead of just accepting them. wow! totally rocks my whole process of thinking. i always want to work hard to try to earn what i get instead of just accepting things from people. when someone gives me a gift, i am always thinking of ways how to give back to them to even out the "score". how do i repay God for sending Jesus, His ONLY son, to die a horrible death to take away all of my sins so that i may be given eternal life with Him! i can't. i can, however, just freely accept it. and love Him and because i love Him, obey Him. there have been a lot of life lessons that i've been learning this month. bsf and the study of isaiah...loving it!; college group; bible studies; small groups; dad; mom; friends; family...........

i love talking with my dad. 

i love relationships. 

God is great.
