Two Friends
I found this on mySpace today and thought it was great. Enjoy!!
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE.
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH.
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.
AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE.
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, "AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?"
THE OTHER FRIEND REPLIED
"WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.
Mark 11:25-26 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins

My weekend
Man alive! let me just say I traveled over 1000 miles in six days.
So I left at 8pm on Wednesday night and got in around 12am. I was up at 7:30am to get my Fia to the vet and then my mum and I hit up Eat n Park for breakfast. After breakfast we headed to the hairdressers to get my hair trimmed!! I love it, she shaped it and gave me something that will keep it from frizzing but I don't need a bunch of other junk in it either. THen I went next door to Dick's sporting goods and purchased my very first tennis racket. I am so excited to get to play now. Then we went to the PA driver's license center and renewed my license. Then I went home and packed my stuff and was on the road for Scranton by 2:30pm.
On the way to my friends house I actually stopped to pick her husband up from work. We got to their place by 5:30. The next morning we had graduation at BBC. It was great!! I got to see a couple of different people that I almost forgot were graduating and then a few who I didn't even know were graduating. Then after graduation we went back to my friends house and ate a quick lunch and then all of us including the baby went down for a nap. It was so nice. Then my friend thinking we were going to another friends party stopped to pick up a gift for them from her mom's only to find that we had surprised her with her own party. You have no idea how hard it is to surprise my friend. She always knows if something is happening. But we got her and got her good.
I stayed there until about 8:30pm till I got a call from my friend Kerry. We got together at Starbucks and caught up on a lot of lost time. It was so wonderful to get to see her again. It is so weird sometimes to realize that my friends are moms and wives. But anyway, we had a great time. The next morning my friend and I went shopping and then I was on the road by 5:30pm. Okay now this trip is supposed to take 2 1/2 hours I got home at 7:05pm. I will let you do the math :-). Then I met up with my friend Shrig for a quick dinner and a bit of dessert from Dairy Queen. It was really nice to get the chance to see her again. Though it wasn't under the best of circumstances for her. Then while we were at Dairy Queen a friend of mine from Youth Group was there with her family. She and her husband and boys had moved to Grove City two years ago and I hadn't seen them for longer than that. So we caught up quick and exchanged e-mails.
Then I rushed home to pick up my dad for a 9:40pm showing of MI:III. Now I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was almost as good as the first one. The second one stank because there was no good plot, though the action was great. The third one had plot and action. We got home around midnight. And I quickly caught up on all my homework. Then hit the sack by 1:30am.
The next day was Mother's day and my Mum actually had the day off for the first time in 6 years. So my Mum, Dad and Grandmum all went to the resturaunt where my sister works for lunch. Then after that my Mum and I did some quick last minute shopping before heading home to grab a quick nap and then get on the road.
We were headed to my grandfather's because we were told he was having emergency surgery. So we got in there around 9:30pm. The next day we went with him to the hospital and I got to meet up with my old roomie Erin from college. It was great, we went to lunch at this great Italian resturaunt. Then that night we took my grandfather out for dinner.

It worked!!
So anyway I am leaving tonight to go to PA for the weekend. I am headed to my parents first to drop off my kitty to get fixed. Poor baby for her but YAY for me. Now I don't have to listen to her go into heat all the time. Plus she is getting declawed so that will be nice to play with her and not have my hands all scratched up. Then after I drop her off in the morning, I head to the PA DOT to get my drivers license renewed. Then I am going to go get my hair cut and there was something else that I can't think of off the top of my head. Then tomorrow afternoon I am headed to Scranton for my friend Sarah's college graduation the next morning. Then Friday after grad. I am meeting up with a friend from college, I have to pick up pipe tobacco for my dad and then go to a grad party. Finally Saturday I have a little time with Sarah myself and then see the family I used to nanny and then head home to Central PA. When I get there, my dad and I are going to see MI:III. Then the next day is Mum's day and I am going to take her to dinner somewhere and then her and I are going to go see Just My Luck with Chris Pine. Then I have the rest of that day and most of Monday to enjoy with my mum before heading home to DC.
So that is my crazy hectic life for the weekend!!! But I am looking forward to it!!

What a weekend!!!!
So I had a really great weekend!!! On Friday night I got tickets to attend the Marine Barracks Evening Parade. It was so awesome!!! The thing that was even cooler was that as I was walking home from the metro to shower and get dressed for it, there was tons of security all over the place. Now some may not think this is unusual since I live in DC but I live right near the Marine Barracks and had never seen so much security before for any of their other Evening Parade presentations. So I stopped and asked one of the guards what was going on and he said well it's Cinco de Mayo! I was like do I look that stupid?!?!?! I know it isn't that. Well they wouldn't answer so I kept walking. Then I saw a Marine and asked him and he informed me that the President of the United States of America was going to be in attendance for this presentation. I was so pumped because I have lived in this city for two years now and not once seen the President, plus I HAD TICKETS TO ATTEND.
Let me tell you, the parade was the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. The President's Own Marine Band played as well as the Commandant's Own. And I learned that John Philip Sousa was born not six blocks from where I live now and a block and a half from the Marine Barracks. He actually directed the Marine Band for 15 years! They also had this really awesome Silent Drill Team that worked with rifles that had bayonets attached. They didn't use any words to do what they did and it had to be one of the most amazing things. Besides that spending 2 hours around a bunch of Marines all in their dress blues was like heaven on earth
:-).
However even through all that, the reality of life and what is taking place today in our world came down hard. They announced all the special guests who were in attendance for the evening and their was a couple of Marines from Walter Reed Hospital there. I think I have always taken for granted that my Brother came back from Iraq twice in once peice. These men reminded me of the fact that I could have lost him. These men had bravely fought and sacrificed parts of their bodies. I saw men with missing legs and arms, men who were in traction with metal rods sticking out from all angles of their legs, and then some men who were "lucky" enough to have all their limbs but recovering from injuries that it was obvious they had suffered much to get where they were that day. I took advantage of the fact that as we exited after the Parade, the men where being escorted back to their bus, to stop and thank each and everyone of them. I couldn't keep the tears from my eyes as they each accepted my hand and heard my words. It was such an honour and privilige to be able to thank men who gave so much for us. It makes me so angry when people degrade what they have done and lost for this war.
GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR MILITARY WHO DAILY LAY THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEACE AND FREEDOM!!!!

You know sometimes I wonder how God can be so patient and forgiving. Doesn't He ever get tired of me being a selfish brat? I mean I get tired of myself. Yet He still gives me a new day with a new chance to be what He wants me to be. I was thinking about this because I have been really making an effort to surrender myself to Him every morning. So far He continues to keep me in His palm and remind me to do it everyday. Not that by so far He would ever stop, it's more like I would stop. The next step I need to make is to take time every day and get to know Him more through studying His word and heartfelt prayer. I never realized how hard it is to make time everyday. Especially when you are working two jobs, grad school, soccer, softball and trying to have a life. When do I find the time? I thought about doing it in the morning but my alarm already goes off and 5:30 am every morning and there is no way I could get up any early than that and have a productive day. At night I usually get home and do homework, watch tv and try to wind down for the day. I know that this would be the best time to do it, but...
I need to just cut the crap and the excuses and do it. Nothing is more important than getting to know my Father more. How can I live a life that Glorify's Him if I am not even getting to know what it is that He likes and is?
Thank you to all my friends who daily prayer for me and love me know matter what I do or say. Also thank you for your prayers regarding housing. Hyla and I have decided that we are 99.5% sure that I will be moving in, June 1st. I am really excited!!!
I love you Beth and am so stinkin happy that God has blessed you with such a wonderful man!!!!

Mercy Me
Mercy Me's new CD came out this past week and all I have to say is Praise God for such a wonderful group who brings honor and glory to His name is such a wonderful way. Their words and music serve as a constant reminder and challenge for all who listen to Glorify God and to say no to self.
some of my favorits from this CD are No More No Less, Bring the Rain, So Long Self and Last One Standing.
No More No Less
I'm not trying to hide anything
I wear it on my sleeve
I wear it on my sleeve.
I'm not trying to be something I'm not
This is all I've got
This is all I've got.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel
Just trying to be real
Trying to be real.
I'm not trying to say follow me
I'm not the one who leads,
I'm not the one who leads.
Let me introduce myself to you
This is who I am
No more no less
I am just a man who understands
because of You I'm blessed
No more no less.
I'm not trying to prove anything
It's all about the change
It's all about the change
Let me introduce myself to you
This is who I am
No more no less
I am just a man who understands
because of You I'm blessed
No more no less.
I hope you stare just long enough to see
The heart that's beating here inside of me
beyond all of the things you may think you know
I'm just a kid trying to make it home that's it
No more no less
Lord I want to go home
Nothing more nothing less.
So Long Self
Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
you understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worth
So let me say
So long self
Well it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long self
Stop right there because I know what you're thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Can't you see
So long self
Well it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong b ut you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long
Don't feel so bad (don't feel so bad)
There'll be better days (there'll be better days)
Don't go away mad (but by all means)
Just go away, go away
So long self
Well it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long

Surrender
I am giving You my heart and all that is within
I lay it all down for the sake of You my King
I am giving You my dreams, I am laying down my rights
I am giving up my pride for the promise of new life.
I am singing You this song, I am waiting at the cross,
And all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss,
For the sake of knowing You, the glory of Your name,
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain.
by: Marc James
God I surrender my heart fully and sincerely. I know that I will wake up everyday and try to take it back, but please remind me that this is what I have said to you.
I surrender my desire to be with someone, and trust that You and You alone are all I need. Trust that you will give me what is best for me and will Glorify You. I trust that you know exactly what I "need" and what I desire and will give them to me at the time and place that is right for You and will bring the most Glory to Your name.
I surrender my desire to grow more and more like you in the hope and trust that You will take that desire and use it for Your Glory by helping me to make time for You every day and to get to know You more.
I surrender my pride and my feelings that You owe me something when I know that You owe me nothing but I owe You everything. I surrender my stubborness and my bitterness. Please help me to make things right with Jason so that I can move and move past and better live my life for You.
I surrender my living situation and the possibility of a new one completely to You. I will trust in You and Your desire to see Your children happy and in a situation to Honor and Glorify You.
I surrender my anger, my jealousy and my impatience. Please take them and make me and mold me into a women after Your own heart and a lamp to the world of Your honor and glory!!!
