Bored...

So... as you know I'm on vacation from school for the summer, yay :-( I'VE BEEN BORED OUTTA MY MIND!!!! I have offered my services to the local hospital to help out in the lab but I haven't been able to start and now I am hearing there might not be a space for me. WHEN DID PEOPLE START TURNING DOWN FREE LABOR!!! So here I am... bored to tears. My only source of joy so far have been a few good novels and my friends, who by the way I only talk to online!!! Whoever said 'I love my computer cuz my friends live in it' must have had a life like mine. I knew this summer wasn't going to be the 'bombdiggidy' but I didn't think it'd be this bad.

I need something to do before I completely lose my mind.

He is marvelous!!!!

This weekend was really really fun! I went to see my family.. LOL. Actually I went to the zoo. There were so many really cool animals. All different sizes, shapes and colors. The birds had the prettiest colors. The Tucan (fruit loops bird :-D ) had such beautiful colors on its beak, it had the such a human like personality too. There were so many different types of monkeys, and a VERY wide variety of small mammals. There was so much proof of God's existence. I didnt even see everything they had and of course they dont have every creature ever made!!! That experience would make it harder for me to believe that there isn't a God. HE is so marvelous. So talented and creative!!! The animals were the most wonderful and incredible creatures I have ever seen. To God be all the glory!!!

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!

Whew... SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!

I am soooo happy schools out. No more studying for at least another 3 months!!! This school year was kinda cool though. First of all I was thrown into what I called a school for nerds at first, and as my dear friend Rita predicted I FIT RIGHT IN!!! LOL... well not really. But I have to admitted I enjoyed being around all the smart people, especially when I knew what they were talking about. And the interesting thing about these nerds is they were actually pretty cool. LOL.

I met some real interesting people too, like Dr.Brown, the most awesome chem teacher ever!!! Loved Sue Bard as well, she's so sweet and funny. And of course there's my chem study buddies, Pipan who always brought us food... gotta love her!!! Jay who is super smart and cool, and last but DEFINITELY not least my 'new best friend' (he doesn't know this) Homan, he's a super genius with the coolest personality, crazy as hell too... I can safely say I've never met anyone like him.

So all in all this year was great!!!

I never thought this would be so cool since I was and still is missing my BFF. I miss our crazy convos about hypothetical people and things, our runs to Mickey D's, our wknds at the beach, our trips to our favourite places ZUZU's and Walmart!!! I was also missing my job and McDreamy... ahhhhhhhh... but this works!!!

GOD IS REAL!!!

I've met alot of people in recent months that do not believe in God. Some believe there is a greater power but they don't feel the need to worship. Others believe there is a God but resent organized religion. These facts are very disturbing to me because I can't imagine living without my God, and my religion. I can't refuse God. There is so much He has done for me. Even though I can't see Him or touch Him I believe He is real. As a Christian I have learned to WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT.

The song 'What If' by Nicole Nordeman explores the possiblity of there NOT being a God. She says

What if you pick apart the logic

And begin to poke the holes

What if the crown of thorns is no more

Than folklore that must be told and retold

But what if you're wrong?

What if there's more?

What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

(I've cut out some of my favorite lines.)

My question to the unbelievers is WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG?

How can you not believe God is Real?

India Arie asks this question in her song, 'God is Real'. She then gives numerous examples as to why she knows God is real. How can someone deny there is a God after noting all these things? Here's the India Arie song...

God is Real !!!

The sweetest honey to the brightest flower

The largest planet to the smallest atom

Snowflakes and the bird kingdom

Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive

Heard a man on the radio today

(Spoken)

I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life

Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say

How he could he not believe that God is real

I don't understand howHe could feel that way

When there's earth, air, water, and fire

So many different flowers

Sunshine and rain showers

So many different crystals

And hills and volcanoes

Chorus

That's how I know that God is real

All of this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

All of this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

I know this is not by chance

That's how I know that God is real

That's how I know that God is real

In St. Lucia I jumped in the water

(Spoken)

It was like I was seeing it for the first time.

It literally changed my life.

For the first time I understood its power

As I swam I was cleansed

If I had any doubts

This experience cleared them

Now I know for sure that GOd is real

I know that it's the truth

By the way it feels

Cause I saw starfish and sponges

Fish shaped like trumpets

So many different colors

I stayed out there for hours

and I only saw a fraction of a fraction

of the deepest of the deep

of the great blue wide

It brought a tear to my eye

We're made of the same stuff

As the moon and the stars

The oceans saltwater just like my tears are

You feel me

The sunrises and sets everyday without fail
