I pulled a 'Meaghan'

Meg's I slept for...*counting*- 16 hours!

:S

And it felt gooood;):)

Well... I'm not too sure about that now. I felt "rested" earlier. As of now, it's close to midnight 'n my head feels like.. metal. My brain feels like it has been increased twice the size. Maybe cuz I am coming down with a head cold? Did I catch my cold from my sis? Hmmm... maybe it's cuz the 'all-nighter' threw me off..

I dunno.

I'm feeling wonky. Whatever comes out of my mouth doesn't make any sense at all. Me 'n Yo stole Billy's food card so we could eat at the cafeteria 'n we sat with Alissa:) Blah, was all I could say. It's all that came out. And then Mike came over and decided to pick on me about my shopping spree at Value Village. They ran into me there. They're always there! Every Thursday. But today was a Tuesday. But he claimed I was on "his territory". So I went over to "mine", the girls section. I bought some books and a lot of T's. He made me go through my list of stuff 'n Yo 'n him were goin to give me a lecture about spending money. I only go like once a month and he goes EVERY WEEK! So... we're equal-ish.

It's true though. I need to go smart with my money. I haven't been doing bad lately. Laura 'n I last year in Lifeteams were rowing the same boat, we're spenders! How's it been going with yours Laura?... are you going to scalp me for exposing our 'secret'?

So I don't think I'll make it a habit of sleeping 16 hours.

That was insane! There's something that's in me that kind of... shrinks at the fact that I slept THAT LONG. Ick.

lol I say I pulled a 'Meaghan' cuz well Meg's slept quite a bit in Lifeteams and was known for it. She loved sleep! Sorry Meg's. For spilling the beans.

:D

This is the extent of anything 'intelligent' I can piece together in my brain right now.

...

An encouragement? This has been my challenge.

Hope. Hope in what is unseen, what is not yet here. Hope for high things. Entertain your mind with

'whatever is true,

...whatever is noble,

......whatever is right,

.........whatever is pure,

............whatever is lovely,

...............whatever is admirable

—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

—think about such things.

Phillipians 4:8 rejoices in this.

Stand in the hope of what has been set on your hearts.

They've been pressed upon you for a reason.

For a reason!

Soak your mind in heavenly things. Concern your being (heart, mind, soul) with what God's heart is concerned with.

He will keep His promise: He is with you (Emmanuel). His Spirit will move you in the way He desires.

And it's important you look through His eyes and not your own!

Our eyes see small and limited and tainted.

His eyes see all, see possibilities, promises, HOPE, abundance.

After all He has layed the foundations of the world, He should know how to get you through in the world.

His understandings have sketched the galaxies and the beaming heavens.

Nothing is hidden from Him. He's made it that His WILL happens.

This is the authority of which His wings He has given us flies on.

He presses His will upon our hearts. We walk in the life of it. The reality of it.

It unravels with, through, and in our lives!

Hope in it.

Believe it.

Live it.

Rejoice in it!
