I was reading my Myspace profile a few minutes ago and I came across my blog. I reread all of my entries and it lit a fire inside of me to write again! I really am going to try to keep blogging but I'm going to need everyone's accountability to help me remember. Sometimes throughout the day, I get sidetracked. Mostly by Facebook and homework. I've forgotten how much I love to express myself! Alright..let's see if I remember how to do this. A few weeks ago, my church kicked off Huddles. Every week I look forward to Wednesday night because I get to catch up with my Huddle leaders and especially my friends who don't go to school with me. One night, Leslie Mayo was talking about how we don't present our minds and hearts to Holy reminders. Instead we fill them with images that satisfy our want to be "popular" or "in-the-know." I will admit..I'm addicted to One Tree Hill. It definitely isn't a Holy show, but it does satisfy my want to know what everyone else talks about after the new episodes. I decided that very night that I would start writing a scripture on a post-it note once a week and put it in my car. That way I would always have a Holy reminder in front of me. This week, I'm focusing on serenity. My verse that I wrote on Wednesday was this:
1 Peter: 3-4
It should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
This made me realize that I need to take time out of my day, even if it's just on my way to school, turn my radio off, and meditate in God's mighty presence. He has blessed me this week and I will keep resting in His arms forever.
