GOOD FRIDAY REFLECTIONS

As I reflect about good Friday and how Jesus died on the cross, one thing really sticks in my mind. Our pastor said: Jesus died on the cross because crucifiction is the only death horrible enough for the wrath of God.......not his exact words but pretty close. I read a medical account of the crucifiction and it was really sad to see what he went through! I didn't cry but it made me think even more about what it means. God did that to his Son and it had to be horrible and inhumane because sin is just as horrible and evil. I sometimes wonder if Jesus felt ALL of the sin literally on his shoulders and that is A LOT of sin...every sin before, then, now and to come. I wonder about some hard un-answerable questions. But I don't have to question that Jesus DID rise again on the third day and that's why we celebrate Easter!

Look at it!!

LOOK at my bruise it is so weird!!!! It looks really funny!

There's a white dot where the bump is and then it's reddish and brown around it. I couldn't believe it!

Who is God??

Here is and AMAZING poem that I LOVE and want to share with all of you!!!


Who is God???

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the Universe and the Manager of all times.

He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing! He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom! He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power! He reigns and brings Peace!

The world can't understand him, The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,
and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and Donahue can't explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right, His word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, and He is my peace!
He is my Joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light,
and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders,
the overseer of the overcomers,
and the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size. His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never forget me,
never overlook me, and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up! When I fail, He forgives! When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way! When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me! When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!

When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way.

He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.

God is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
I love the Lord and thank Him for all that he does in my life.
Yes I do love Jesus. He is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.

AUTHOR UNKNOWN ... What a wonderful description of the one true God!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

changes and updates

Hi to everyone who actually reads my blog, well sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself or the wind when I blog. Which is almost never. Well anyway I made a few changes to my blog. The layout, the name and my address. It's now: www.justmeinthemoment.blogspot.com and I changed it mostly because I don't like the band that I based the last one off it off and I thought it was dumb...so...I changed it!

Now for updates, I am going to be home schooled next year for eight grade and. I'm going on a trip but I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you where yet, I think it's a surprise for someone. All I'll tell you is that it's out of state. Can't wait for that!!! I play volleyball for Crossfire. My team is trying to come up with a more creative name than Crossfire 14 blue that they give us to tell all the teams apart. The majority or our team likes Blue Lightning and Sam was being funny by saying that we should be the Blue Bull Dogs and have a blue bull dog named Killer...I cracked up when she said that, so did everyone esle but rejected the idea anyway. I rolled my ankle at vb practice on Monday and it hurts and I have vb practice tonight..oh great! I also got this MAJOR bruise/bump on my arm from Maddie swinging her arm down and mine up and they smaked together and it swelled up really big and is now black and purple and a greenish color. Ouch. Other than those things my life is pretty boring.

Pray for Stellan!

Stellan is a very tough little guy. Check out his mom's blog.

I got a haircut!!

I finally got a haircut!!! I got bangs and layers. Nothing special but a change none the less, pictures coming soon!

Haircut?? School?? Girl Scout Cookies :)

Help!!! I want to get a haircut but have no idea how to get it cut....my mom want me to do the same thing just shorter and I...well I really don't know!! I found one that I like but the bangs will be in my face all the time and I won't be able to put it in a ponytail.....I don't know what to do!! I need something that won't fall in my face when it's down and that can be in a ponytail. Other that this predicament I also have NO idea what I should do next year for school...my mom wants me to go back to the Spanish program or go to Beacon (I have NO idea is this is how you spell it) and I want to be home but not online school, so I still don't know what I want to do. I like being home so I can work and sleep in and have free time but I want to see friends more often. It's is sooo hard to decide, my friend Emily is having the same problem! So at least I'm not alone.....speaking of Emily I have to go deliver their Girl Scout cookies!!!

Later!
Chloe :)
