Wow, these past few days have been pretty exciting and it just keeps getting better!
Yesterday was great. I won $5!!!! xD Yeah, it brightened up my whole day... maybe even week! We'll have to see :D I guess its not really the fact that I won the $5 that is making me so happy, but HOW I won the prize. Now, if you know me well, you know that I could not shoot a soccer ball to save my life... even without a goalie in the box. SO, my coach offered $5 to the first person who could make a shot past Roby's dad (he's a really awesome goalie) under 5 minutes. Of course, everyone tried their shot(s) against him and me, being the one everybody least expected to make it in, made the shot! Like I said, I'm happy :] Also, before that, I was put in goal and blocked every shot that came my way... It was a pretty small goal... but still. Then, later on was Youth Group. James (Our youth leader) shared his testimony. I'm very glad he did because it let us all get to know a little bit more about him and what God has done in his life. After the testimony, a few of us played an awesome game of "keep-away". Fun, Fun, Fun!
When I got home from Youth Group, there was no American Idol tonight because the president had something to say about something... needless to say, I didn't watch it. Heroes, one of the best shows ever, had downloaded and we were all ready to watch it in place of A.I. BUT, we had rented "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" and it was due back the next day, so we had to watch that instead. It was a great movie, but I'm never going to watch it again. It made me sick to my stomach and it had a tragically sad ending. Despite watching that, though. I'm still ecstatic because I WON $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

ReplyDeleteI found $11 on the ground at C building this morning.
Hi Caters,
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think of how much like your description of your soccer game, your life is? Satan just keeps trying to "get a goal in on you" (His word says,"Be careful for your advesary, the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour..."
Our job is to "...resist the devil and he shall flee from you...".
Isn't it wonderful that God has provided all of the armour we need to go through this life!! Ephesians 6 says "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of slavation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perserverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak..."
I love you Darling Girl and you make my heart very glad because I see you living your life in accordance with God's word. Your heart, mind and spirit are turned toward Him. Hugs and kisses, Grandma
