I know its been a while.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for me. While still trying to adjust to the semester and my classes. I have had sing song. My dad had surgery just over a week ago and a day later my mom found out she had pneumonia. I have been taking care of them most of the week along with trying to get every thing done. I am not saying this to say it is a bad thing, because while I would love for my parents to be better, this has brought me closer to God. I have learned that I need to trust in him to bring me through things, if he didn’t think that I could make it through all of this, I do not believe he would be having me go through all of this.

The sing song craze is about to take charge of my life again. I have about 4 days till every day I have something to do to prepare for sing song. This weekend is Moody Weekend and then we start rehersals in Moody next weekend. However, I couldn’t be more excited about this. This is one of my favorite things that happens all semester. I have met some of my best friends because of sing song and though it is stressful it is also a lot of fun.

For the few of you who still read this I plan on trying to update it more often and for those of you who are just now starting to read this I ask that you comment. I promise I will try to update this more often..

Just some recent things

So I just read a wonderful book A Child Called It. This book has a wonderful story, it tells the story of a child who was abused when he was a child by his drunken mother. This book really made me think about what I am getting my self into wanting to be a teacher. It reminded me that there will be students that I work with that will not be from the same type back ground as me. Students that do have a rough home life and that school is their only escape. It reminds me just how much I will have to make sure that I am a good Christian influence. Reading is not my thing, I normally do not enjoy it, however this book grab my attention and I read it in two days. So if you haven’t read it I recommend you pick it up it my really change the way you view things.

My bible class is one of my favorite classes right now, because I have had so many readings that I have had to do in order to pass the quizes. However, that is not the reason it is my favorite class, it is my favorite cause then I think about the verses I have read and apply them to my life. One of the verses that has been on my mind a lot lately is 2 Samuel 22:2-3:

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield , and then horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.”

When I think of this verse I wonder to I really take refuge in the one savior who I know I can take refuge in or do i toss it to the side. Last night I watched a skit called “the stool” it is a very powerful skit and it really made me think. The person sitting on the stool gets to make the decision in the persons life. The girl keeps giving the stool to Jesus but when he tries to make a decision she forces him off to the stool to make the decision for herself. This made me wonder if I make my own decsions or have I let Jesus sit on my stool to make decisions for my life. So the question for this post is:

Who do you take refuge in and Who is sitting on your stool???
