Silver Bullet

So, I'm new to this blogging concept. Not too sure what to write, or if it will even interest anyone. I'm mostly writing for myself, so that someday I can look back and remember who I was, and what I was experiencing at the time of writing. A bit about me, I love my life. I have this amazing love for Christ as my Savior, and through that, I am capable of achieving my most wildest dreams. I have a wonderful family, who, no matter what, has always been there for me. and I know that they will continue to stand by me. I attend Brookhaven Community College, work at a bank and a bowling alley, which of course means, I'm always busy doing something. Usually something productive :) in my free time I like to volunteer at the local animal shelter, help out at church, hang out with my family & boyfriend. I've been thinking a lot about how my life has changed so much, since last year. I've gained this amazing knowledge of who I truly am and what I want in life. I've also become very dependent upon technology, which is changing, very soon! One day out of the week, I will be turning my cell phone off, yes this is extreme! Its going to be on Sundays, because I find myself texting or playing games during church, which is NOT beneficial to my spiritual needs. I read this wonderful article about how we live in an age of technological dependency, and how it prevents us from succeeding, or learning things.

"Sometimes the most productive “point and click” application is that of pointing our finger at the power button and clicking our digital devices off."


Moving on, this was my "scripture of the day," which is by far a personal fav.

Isaiah 40:28-31KJV

²⁸Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁹He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³¹But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

This time, two years ago, I was admitted to UTSW for a week & a half, due to a chronic illness. I was flipping through the pages of my study bible, and as I read the words above, I felt an amazing sense of peace. To this day, I read it and feel that same emotion, just as I did during the trials of my faith 2 years ago. "...they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary.." LOVEIT
