Thoughts...

I know 2 posts in one day, quick call 9-1-1. Don't worry, I'm ok. I just found this, a friend of mine posted it, and I wanted to share.
What if NOTHING ever existed.

A hard thought to grasp.
What if GOD never existed.
If you're a Christian, you believe that if God never existed, nothing ever existed.
Without God, there is nothing. God made everything.
What if you weren't a Christian, or lets say that regardless of God, life had a beginning, and somehow, this earth, and its people, and the universe came to being.
What if God wasn't a part of it? What if there was NO ONE in control of everything.
What if there was no one to turn to when you feel like nobody else understands.
I just thought about all that for a few minutes, and I am SO GLAD I have such a wise God.
Anyway, these are just some things I was pondering earlier. Any thoughts?
Yes, definite thoughts! What if there was no one to turn to when you felt like no one understood, scary, isn't that what pushes people to suicide? When all along there is a God who understands, cares, and loves you. Insted he gets push him away, ignored, the understanding, the love, the help, it's all rejected. For a life of freedom, what I want, when I want, not answering to anyone, misunderstanding, loneliness, and depression. Yes, being a Christian isn't easy, but hey if all else fails I've never be lonely. I've had times where I felt alone, misunderstood, and in despair. But I clearly remember God speaking and saying "It's o.k. I'm here." Do you know the joy, and love that comes flooding into your sould at that moment. It picks you up off the ground and you fly on the wings of the love of God. I don't remember the reference but the Bible says "I will never leave you or forsake you. O.k. o.k I'm looking it up, Hebrews 13:5. It also reminds me of something I read it a book once.
You can never be where God is not.
There is no place where you can out distance Him.
No dark corner where He is not already there waiting for your arrival.
No deep recess of your heart and soul that He does not know of.
No secret that He does not share.
And he does have power, to change, to keep, to do the impossible....
for without Him, nothing of importance is possible.
We can only fumnble and stumble in darkness.
But with Him there is light, even in the hardest (I would include darkest) of time.

I'm terrible I know

I'm procrastinating terribly. I supposed to be going through my clothes and cleaning my room, but I'm not, I've been on the internet for a couple hours. I checked facebook out today, it' kinda scares me. I mean all it is is pictures of people drinking and using cuss words to tell other people that they like them, or whatever. Sigh, the degregation of the English Language. Not that I'm very good at it, on the contrary, I am terrible, I should study the dictionary or something....

So, the last 3 weeks have been insane. Dad was in Prague for 3 weeks which leaves guess who in charge of the store. Which wasn't all that bad except one of the assistant managers has been a terrible help, actually not a help at all..... I really wish he would grow up and stop acting like a little boy. Oh, and on top of taking care of the store, I helped planned a retreat for Symphonietta, which ended up kinda falling apart. Sometimes I feel like a scapegoat, I wonder, does that mean I'm gullible. Maybe I just take too much on myself.

I almost have enough money saved up to get the correspondence theory course. If only there wasn't such a thing as GEN EDs I would have a degree by now. I despise GEN EDS. I know they are supposed to make you a rounded individual, or something like that, but I think they are stupid. And why do you need 80 credits or something like that of them. So, I am going an alternative route. I am going to get a Certificate in Music Ministry. No that doesn't mean I am going to be a Music Pastor. I just want to learn what I need to know about music, and this is the easiest way. If I can CLEP enough GEN ED classes, I might eventually get a degree; but until then I am going to concetrate on the correspondence thing. Sometimes I wish I was born 100 years ago.

And I don't have any time to start my Harmony Road School, *sigh* that and no money, renting a building is REALLY expensive, ouch. Have you ever noticed that childish dreams rarely come true. But you know what, God is in control, and with him at the wheel my life is in much better shape. I shudder to think what my life would be like without God. Empty, lifeless and lonely. Have you ever heard this quote "Tell God your plans and he will laugh." I believe that is very true, my own plans usually fall flat, but when I do what God says, things work out to the right. Last summer on the farm was awesome. Possibly the best 3 months of my life, other than missing my family. oh, oh who wants to see a picture of Sarah Beth, the cutest baby sister in the world? O.k. o.k. don't beg, I will post one!

So, I should go finish my room. Besides I really wanted to start on my regency dress today. It's probably a good thing I don't have more time to sew, I would be broke from buying fabric. I would need 2 closets to hold all my clothes.

Talk to you later,
Katie
