    Wow, almost two months since my last update. I guess that in itself is a testment to how busy I have let life become. I am enjoying this year at school, but it comes with a lot of stress. I really don't have much to say except most everyone now has a myspace and I will propbably give in at some point, but to be able to do that I would have to have free time!

    Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)

    Psalm 73

     1A psalm of Asaph.
          Surely God is good to Israel,
           to those who are pure in heart.
     2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
           I had nearly lost my foothold. 
     3 For I envied the arrogant
           when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 
     4 They have no struggles;
           their bodies are healthy and strong. 
     5 They are free from the burdens common to man;
           they are not plagued by human ills. 
     6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
           they clothe themselves with violence. 
     7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity;
           the evil conceits of their minds know no limits. 
     8 They scoff, and speak with malice;
           in their arrogance they threaten oppression. 
     9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
           and their tongues take possession of the earth.
    10 Therefore their people turn to them
           and drink up waters in abundance. 
     11 They say, "How can God know?
           Does the Most High have knowledge?" 
     12 This is what the wicked are like—
           always carefree, they increase in wealth. 
     13 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure;
           in vain have I washed my hands in innocence. 
     14 All day long I have been plagued;
           I have been punished every morning. 
     15 If I had said, "I will speak thus,"
           I would have betrayed your children. 
     16 When I tried to understand all this,
           it was oppressive to me 
     17 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
           then I understood their final destiny. 
     18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;
           you cast them down to ruin. 
     19 How suddenly are they destroyed,
           completely swept away by terrors! 
     20 As a dream when one awakes,
           so when you arise, O Lord,
           you will despise them as fantasies. 
     21 When my heart was grieved
           and my spirit embittered, 
     22 I was senseless and ignorant;
           I was a brute beast before you. 
     23 Yet I am always with you;
           you hold me by my right hand. 
     24 You guide me with your counsel,
           and afterward you will take me into glory. 
     25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
           And earth has nothing I desire besides you. 
     26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
           but God is the strength of my heart
           and my portion forever.
     
     27 Those who are far from you will perish;
           you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
    28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
           I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
           I will tell of all your deeds.

    BarlowGirl Lyrics
    "Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)"

    I've had enough of living life for only me
    And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
    So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
    Somehow believing that they have what I need

    [Chorus:]
    My God's enough for me
    This world has nothing I need
    In this whole life I've seen
    My God's enough, enough for me

    I can't explain why I suffer though I live for You
    Those who deny You they have it better than I do
    Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
    That in the end only You mean anything

    [Chorus]


    Who have I in heaven but You
    Nothing I desire but You
    My heart may fail but not You
    You are mine foreve

    I Do! (Caitlin No.5)(Diary of a Teenage Girl, Book 9) (Diary of a Teenage Girl)
    By Melody Carlson

    I love to read. It can bring such therapy! I just finished a book (profile above) and it had a cool quote in it. In this section of the story, Caitlin, the main character, is talking to some other girls and explaining how she had recently given all control of her wedding to God. She put all faith in Him. The girls complemented her on this faith:

    "It's a learning thing," I finally said.
    "Life's like that," said Chloe.
    She's right. Life is like that. But without God it would be learning through the school of hard knocks on a daily basis. I've seen others doing it that way, and I feel sorry for them. Not that I think my life should be pain-free and smooth (and it's not), but I don't mind getting directions from God. If He sees a Mack truck about to plow me down, I don't mind Him telling me to take a little detour now and then. Besides, the scenery is usually better anyway.

    Isn't that cool!! It is so true too. I love reading....
