As I read back into one of my old posts, I came across this passage:
Over time - I tend to just forget it. I wanted to learn how to love others, but I just slowly forgot, overtime. When I read that verse the first time - it struck! Even if I have faith like Abraham, enough to be able to move mountains, but still have not loved, then I gain . . nothing. - Heaven
God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love. Incour culture, even if a pastor doesn't actually love people, he can still be considered successful as long as he is a gifted speaker, makes his congregation laugh, or prays for "all those poor, suffering people in the world" every Sunday. But Paul writes that even if "I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing (1 Cor. 13:2-3 ESV). Wow. These are strong and unmistakable words. According to God, we are here to love. Not much else really matters.- Crazy Love

Here I am, looking & thinking about what to wear for my costume. I never really thought about what I was/wanted to be - so I guess I'll just go as Bathsheba. :) I feel like today will be very hectic up until 5:30pm. I have to squeeze in so much within so little time. I'm just gonna go with something easy and simple! :) I think I might have it. :)
- - I'm so hungry, right now. Which reminds me - I must eat before sunrise! Today will be a day of fasting from sunrise to sunset. I plan to start the day off with the Lord. :) I want to gain wisdom! -Heavenyang

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 (NIV)
. . currently at school in this pretty empty library. The weather is so unpreictable. When I came out of first period, it was seriously - dark & rainy and scary. I didn't even bring a jacket/hoody with me today. :/
I am SO tired because the girls and I stayed up ALL NIGHT this past weekend. We just bought a lot of junk food and did our makeup and all that. It was pretty fun and enjoyable. :) Haven't had a night like that with those girls in a long time. :)
The whole weekend that I was up in Toccoa, we all stood up pretty late, so NOW - it's finally kicking in. I'm super sleepy, but I must NOT take naps when I get home. haha. It wastes so much time, man.
...okay, I should get back to art class. I've got 20 minutes before we head to next period.

. . . oh man. Feels good to be getting "Happy Birthdays" again. :) Sweeeeeet 16 - I don't feel any different. ;)
Thanks for the boots, once again, Pang. :) I'm searching on what would look good with those boots and here's something: pretty cute. :) Maybe I can only pull off the middle one. ha ha ha. I'll be workin' on it, though. :)

- - only my mom's, of course. :)
Except for this batch, I made. :) I know how to make soup! Wow, so proud of myself. I thought it was pretty good, so I made some the next day as well! :)
- - ah! I'm so tired. I got too caught up in my pictures. It's 3:00am already. :/ I'm gonna be so tired tomorrow. Actually, the sleepiness doesn't kick in 'til the day after, so on Monday, I'm gonna be super tired. :P
- - I finally finished my LA project! I thought it'd be fun to do, but it was forever long, which made it no longer fun. One down, two more to go. It's odd how 3 teachers would assign projects around the same time. -__- haha.
- - Friday @ the Falls! Since this year, people are still going, I guess I'll be going as well - I'm planning to, anyway. The dates are set for Thursday, October 21st - Friday, October 22nd. Deadline for registering was Oct. 15th, but I signed up like . . right now and today's already the 17th. HAHA! :) oh well. -Heaven
