lessons :]

Thank you Lord for giving me several life lessons the other day
and great gifts, and time with my friends! :) I'm glad you're here
to teach me your way and how to follow you.

Today was great. I went to CVS. :]] I'm glad i got to hang out with
my cousin and stuffs! The weather was also superb. xD


Phi 4:11
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
or... Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.

and i'm kindof learning that.
I pray my cousin would be more optimistic!
:] and all the other pessimistic people.

There's something amazing about the passion of youth and its power to sustain. If there's a more powerful energy source, I don't know about it.

i love you lord, and i lift my voice to worship you. :)

today didn't suck. it was normal. my friend is sickk, and stuffs.
so i'm gonna pray for her later. i hope my sister can have lunch
with my tomorrow. and because of ari i bible.org-ed sickness.
um, my day was okay. and i can't wait for christmas break, just
to relax, bond with my friends, and get more focused on my devo.
it has been an extremely long time since i last posted a blog!

So here it goesss......



Proverbs: 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.
since that makes no sense [lol], here's a translation:

Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick,
but a sudden good break can turn life around(:

well, sometimes we are down.
but we can always rely on God to help us get back up on our feet.
and that's kindof what this is about. that's why we shouldn't let
ourselves be put down. We need to stay positive because things
ALWAYS get better. Pray for what you need, because God will give
you many opportunities to get back up again! :)

PRAYER:
Dear Lord,
Thank You for this Marvelous day you have given me!
I'm glad to have great friends, that i can spend time with
this weekend. I truly hope you help arianna, with whatever.
I care for her, and even though i'm bad at showing sad, or
sympathetic feelings i hope her and other friends can learn
that. I really want her to feel better. Thank You.
In Your Most Precious Name We Pray,
Amen.

&& PS. please let me go to Sahuarita,
over the summer to chill with my friends.
lol.

XD

happiness runs in a circular motion(:

i truly feel blessed, my weekend has been amazing.
i've been super happy with everything i've done, and i'm very content.
so i'm bible.org-ing happiness!

This weekend, I've experienced to be happy for what I have.
Hangin out with family, friends, laughing. No matter who owns
what, we've all got something special.

:)

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for all that you have done in our lives.
We hope you prepare our hearts for advent, and that you
help those in need of your help. Whether it is them seeking
your protection, love, guidance, or patience[like my dad and sister],
we ask you stick around and help us be a light(: Amen.

advent.

yes, i know it's advent...
a time to prepare our hearts for Jesus' coming.
but this month has been a major challenge. i feel
i don't have time for this. but i have been on the
computer less & less. except today, cause it's been
a nice break from everything. :)


i guess that's all for now... :\

trust in the Lord, lean not on your own understanding(:

hello, it's been ages since i've logged on! :(
it has indeed been an off week for me. but enough
of thattt.

let's bible.org! keyword: alone.

Gen 2:18
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him.”

Sometimes we all feel alone, but God has given us
people to confide in and talk to. We just have to remind
ourselves of that and this verse! :)

I would like to memorize this verse and anyone else
to because it's good to have God's word in your heart.
Especially in those times where you can't pick up a
bible or go to bible.org! :P

Thanks for reading.


Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Thank you for all that you have given us.
Even if it's an "off week/day" please help
us to give you time to thank you for all you
have done or to just pray or read your word.
You are always there for us and always helpful.
Thanks, Love always,
Elissa! :)

give thanks(:

i've had a superbbbb day. :)
so i will put a quick verse of thanks.
aaandd i hafta go real quick to do a
science project. hahaha.


Phi 1:3
I thank my God every time I remember you.

yess yess. i agree! :) and that's what's prayer is for.
to thank our lord and ask him for things we can work
on. But we also need to practice for those things. :)
Kindof like you can't just pray before a test, "HELP ME
PASS!" you should study- at least a little. in studyhall
or something. :)

thanks. <33
byeee.

i don't get science, but who needs it! :)

well, it's not like we're studying the "big bang" theory crap.
but we're studying rock cycle stuff and i've been paying attention
less. And i don't get what is trying to be taught by the teacher. :P

i don't know. i guess after i write this i need to do ALL MY WORK.
sometimes all this work really angers me, because even if it's supposed
to be a group project "split up evenly". i end up doing the whole thing. ><
well, i'm exaggerating. but i do the majority of it. :( so i don't know how
to prevent that or help it. [PLEASE COMMENT A
SUGGESTION or PRAY FOR ME] thanks. lol. :)

Matthew 20:12
'These last workers put in only one easy hour, and you just made them equal to us, who slaved all day under a scorching sun.'

i guess that's kindof what i mean. :\
kinda like someone who cheats on a test, say the get a 95.
and you studied and you got a 95 also. :P you'd be mad.

i don't really know what to say today or what i'm trying to get at...

Dear Lord,
Thank you for this day you have blessed me with.
I know something may have gone wrong today, but
the rest of the day was most likely awesome. Please
help me not to let the bad weigh me down too much.
In Your Most Precious Name We Pray, Amen.
