Three Cords.

4 Comments »

Funny, I find myself getting a lot out of novels. Granted, they ARE christian novels so I guess that's the point. 


But anyways, in Where Yesterday Lives by Karen Kingsbury, there is a part that talks about how a rope of three cords isn't easily broken. In the novel, it was talking more along the lines of guy/girl relationships, but I think it applies to any sort of relationship. And that really got me thinking. Any friendship where God is left out just seems to fall apart. And that makes sense. When there are only two cords, if one breaks, the rope is then broken. But when one out of three cord breaks, the rope is still there! I've seen that happen a few times in some of my friendships. Even in friendships where my friend and I are both Christians, there are situations where God is left out of our relationships. And that's when problems arise. 

I guess I am seeing more and more these days the importance of Christ being right in the center of everything. Not just his name being tagged along, but His very being right there with me in everything.  Somewhat of a struggle at times, but after all, I am human. It's a learning process.

Everyone always posts pics of cute babies on their blogs. I wanted to follow the trend. This is my little friend Tali. I am addicted to taking pics of her. Ha! Maybe it's cuz she always has hilariously cute facial expressions...

Honestly, do they even have to ask?! The turf smells like every cow on the planet had a bad case of diarrhea! No one wants to be within even one mile of the turf! I wonder if this is detrimental to our health. It probably is... All for the sake of green grass!

Random Facts of the Day.

There is no Acts 8:37. The only versions that have the missing verse 37 are the King James and the New King James.


Funny how I never noticed that before!

AND...

Apparently the words compassionate, merciful, and pitiful are synonymous cuz in the King James version, James 5:11 states, "The Lord is very pitiful."

Pretty much, after today, my respect for the King James Version is diminished. 

Since when am I not the slow one??

Ever since I can remember, I have always been the slow one in school. I am always the last to finish assignments and I am always last to turn in tests. Well, apparently not this time. These graphic design classes are waaaaaayyyyyyyy too slooooooooooow. (Shout out to Rachel! I know you feel my pain!) In one of my graphic design classes, I finished my project earlier so my teacher gave me another one to keep me busy. I finished the second project before the rest of the class even finished the first! Then in this class (the one I'm sitting in and wasting time in right now) I finished my project early as well! Today was supposed to be "test print" day, but our teacher wanted to go around and look at people's work before having them test print. Problem: she already checked mine last week and I already test printed it! Our sketches for our next project were due today and I already did those too! Mannnnn, I cannot handle this slowness! I need some speed in my life! 


I apologize for that vent session. I just had to let it out.

Story:

Target was going through a lawsuit. Apparently, they didn't pay some of the people that should have been paid during their vacation times. Well, it just so happened that I worked at Target the summer of 2006. This was right smack dab in the middle of the time period that they were cheating people of their hard-earned money. Because of this, I was supposedly going to receive something in the settlement. That was already funny to me considering I didn't even work there long enough to receive paid vacations. Oh well, extra money never hurts. Yesterday, I got my settlement check in mail. It was a grand total of (get ready for this!)...FOUR DOLLARS!! hahahahahahahahaha! ($5 if you count what they took away from me in taxes.) Oh well, I'll get my $1 back at the end of the year.  Oh the pros of being a dependent!

I was reminded of the man today. (He was one of the people we talked to in England. Read about him here.)


Kristi sent me a message asking me if he had emailed me. It kind of made me a little sad that he didn't. When we gave him a copy of the Gospel of John, he promised us that he would read it and that he would email me when he did. Poor guy, said he was gonna be locked up in three days. Part of me did wonder, do they grant patients at a mental hospital internet access? I hoped they did. But nope, it's been close to two months and I never did get that email. 

I guess it's just one of those prayer reminders God gives us. I am thankful those seeds were planted in Ozzy's life and I hope and pray those seeds get watered someday. 

Please pray for Ozzy.

Something to think about...
