The Meditations of My Heart

4. In some cases, it's a pretty small number... in other cases, it can be a huge number. Like how in the past week not one, but four American Icons have died. Ed McMahn, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays. Everyone knows them... Ed's money, Farrah's hair, Michael's style, and Billy's booming voice that sells anything. Already in the past year Heath Ledger and Bernie Mac have died. What is happening? Is it in the water? American favorites. Gone. Just like that. It shows that life, no matter how rich and famous you are, comes at you fast. It gets you when you least expect it, and will stop for NO ONE. If that is the case, then how important is it to have your life in order at all times? Not only on earth- will wise, but with God- eternity wise. Because we, like the famous American Icons, are NOT expempt from death, we must be prepared for the unexpected at all times. Couple of questions... Where are you going when you die? How can you be sure? Ephesians 2...

Thank you all for taking time to read my blog. Over the past 24 hours, I have been chatting with a "little birdie" and she has brought something to my attention that I think is important for you, as my blog readers, to hear. - What am I blogging for? Is it to receive the praises of my friends and family, or to make an account of my thoughts, life, and feelings so I can better display God's work in me? Taking some time to think about that this morning, I believe I started off for the right reasons, then fell to the temptation of taking the praise all for me... not keeping God at the forefront where He belongs. After all, the title of my blog is "The Meditations of My Heart" and the verse that it comes from says "May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, O God." My words haven't been pleasing to God; only to me. And for that I am sorry. I don't know about you guys, but it seems like when I expect and greatly a...

This one is going to be short. I have my check from Subway... finally. So the horrible experience is over and I have closure. Tonight is the YPCG prayer meeting for camp. I'm excited, because this night, every year, has always been very helpful for getting me into the right place spiritually for camp. Even if you aren't going tonight, if you think about it, shoot a prayer up to the Big Guy on our behalf. :) This weekend, I have (possibly) my last softball game of the season. A dear friend's grad party. Father's Day. And Leaving for Camp Sunday afternoon. If you are wondering why I don't post more often, it's because no one ever comments... I'm beginning to wonder if anyone even reads this anymore. lol. :)

The smell of humidity, fresh cut grass, and the earth after it rains-- thats what I associate with summer. Maybe even more than being done with school and swimming. It's here. Summer has finally come, and I am on the cusp of reaching out and embracing it with arms wide open. Friday is my official last day of school before I start my senior year. I just can't wait to be done :) The date of June 13th in my phone has, over the past month, has filled up very quickly. I have inferred that Saturday, June 13th, is the most popular day for graduation parties. I have not one, but FOUR graduation parties to go to this Saturday. It should be fun though, and it may be the last time I see a few of them for a while. I'm looking forward to when the days all run together and you don't have to get up until 10 am every morning. When you can call your friends and no matter what day it is, they can do something. I'm convinced that summer is God's gift to humans. It's the r...
