attitude

So last night i read the second chapter of Phillippians. There were three things I found to journal about, but I'll just do the first one.
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus."
Jesus had the ultimate good attitude. He didn't complain when he had to leave heaven to come to earth, and he didn't complain when he had to die on the cross (something he definitely didnt deserve). I usually complain about alot of things. Bad hair days, nothing to wear, big test in school. But Jesus didn't complain even when he had to die on the cross! Thats definitely something to work on.

Today is my next to last day of school! I cant wait for monday!

devotion

Last night I read Phillippians 1. It is stuffed full of examples of devotion.... 

-Paul's devotion in writing and encouraging the Phillippians

-the Phillippians' devotion from the gospel "from the first day until now."

-God's devotion in completing the work he has started in the Phillippians

This chapter made me ask, "Am I completely devoted to God, the Gospel, and the other believers?" Its probably an area that could use some work in all of out lives. 

happy summer!

3 miles!

I am doing a 3 mile walk/dance workout in my basement. It's a mix between Tae Bo and normal walking. I've done 2 miles, and am taking a break while Kendall (my exercise partner) is doing the dishes. Its pretty easy since I'm used to walking on the treadmill. 

I can't wait for summer! I only have three days of school left till I'm free!!!! I have big tests all three days. I should be ok, though, since I'm pretty good at literature, and I have more than a 97 average. (wish I could say the same for math)

Well, I'm going to work on the last mile. Then I'll go help my dad make chili (yum) and be bored till I think of something else to do. Maybe 3 more miles....... (probably not)

Road Trip!

here i am, at 8:34 on a Saturday morning (is it lawful to be up this early?) preparing to leave for a 3 hour drive to central Michigan to go to a graduation party. I have been up since 6:30 (ugh). i am going to be soo tired tonight!!!! well, i have to go now. i know it was kinda short, but i wont have time later. bye!

YES!!!!!!!!

im done with math!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!

i think im going to go burn my textbook........

then we can have a camp fire! marshmallows, anyone???

this is like one of the happiest moments of my life :)

a new word

i have 4 math lessons left for the year, and i hope i can make it! i am extremely algabrateically challenged! (i made up a word!) by noon, one lesson out of 3 is done. If i keep going at this rate, I will be done at approximately 11:15 tonight. i am soooo glad i finish tomorrow!!!!!!!

i cant think of anything important to say, so i'm going now. i have to stay on schedule!

almost here!!!

I only have 3 days of algebra left  before I'm done for the summer!! This has definitely been the hardest math year of my life, and it doesn't help at all that I pick it up really slow. I've done 2 lessons today, so that means only one more 'till I'm free 'till tomorrow!!!!! 

On a more serious note, I read about the death of Jesus last night before bed. It really amazes me that he would do all that for me. I definitely don't deserve it, but I guess God's in the business of giving us things we don't deserve.  

I can't wait for youth tonight!
