So apparently I have taken a liking to "upgrading" my life...what does this mean you might be asking yourself...well my friends it means that now I am a "professional" in the (gulp) "REAL WORLD!" So, I went out and bought myself a new tv, a new dvd player and this fancy laptop to spend more time online...this can't be good.
But I also wanted to add in this new QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What have you always wanted to do but have never done?
Answer...then I will

Daily Devotional
Let It Go!!!
"Get rid of your sins" Job 11:14 (NLT)
God's way is to tell it like it is. He doesn't put a bandage over an infected wound. He insists that it be lanced, drained, cleansed and given time to heal. "But I had a child out of wedlock. I've been to prision. I've had an abortion. I've failed badly." Do not get discouraged; God is not moved by our virtues; He's touched by "the feeling of our infirmities." (Hebrews 4:15) Listen: "For since He Himself has now been through sufferings and temptation, He knows what it's like...and He is wonderfully able to help us."(Heb 2:18 TLB) "Can someone with my past touch God and their future be forever changed?" YES! "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; the sinners plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains."
The rewards of repentance are awesome. Job writes "Prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid od your sins and leave all iniquities behind you. Then your face will brighten in innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. You will forget your misery. It will all be gone like water under a bridge...you will have courage because you will have hope. You will be protected and will rest in safety. You will lie down unafraid, and many will look to you for help" (Job 11-13-19 NLT) Go ahead, step into the river of God's mercy and let it flow over you, setting you free. Whether it's the guilt of something you've done or the pain for something that was done to you---LET IT GO!

How weird am I?
Okay, so a past post got me thinking about how strange and quirky I really am...I thought that I would share some of my quirkiness with the world...
~I am a daycare teacher yet I cannot stand the thought of my own children (when I have them) being stuck into the system...how weird
~I want to go to Alabama because of a movie and my love of accents
~This also applies for many other states too...the Carolinas, Texas...just to name a few
~I mismatch my socks...all the time...even when I go to church...sometimes I colour co-ordinate my mismatched socks...like if I am wearing black pants and a red shirt, I wear a black sock and a red sock...not only this, but I mismatch my earing and my ponytails, and my mittens in the winter and sometimes even my shoes (depending on the circumstances)
~I am very stubborn...pretty sure I do not actually want to lead at Fall Retreat this month, the only reason I wanted it so badly was because Kathy told me "no"
~I'm a shop-a-holic...pretty sure I just went out and bought a TV because it was cute...not to mention all the other nonsense things I have boughten over the years...a tennis skirt, a yoga mat, a fuzzy pink rug...come on, what is with that?
That is all that I can think of right now...what else makes me quirky?
