Senior Year: 2

     Today was really boring. It was raining pretty much all day, so outside it was all grey and dull, and inside it was dull. Then to make matters worse lunch, the one thing people look forward to, wasn’t so great. Who really expects school lunch to be good though? Not me, but still.

     The amazing thing is that even though today was really boring, it wasn’t bad. I know that doesn’t really make sense so I’ll try to explain a little better. I started off my day right with talking to my God, and I sill haven’t stopped. Just throughout the day I’ve been praying and just talking to God, and it’s been a good day. Whenever I started to get stressed or depressed or anything I started thinking of the song Revelation Song. It’s a really powerful song, and it always just brings me closer to God and makes me think of Him instead of all the stuff going on around me. It really like puts me in a true state of worship, and it’s just amazing.

Revelation Song

Worthy is the,
Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven’s Mercy Seat

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!
Yeah!

Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and
Glory and power be
To You the Only Wise King,
Yeah

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You!
Yeah!

Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah…

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You!

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come,
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore you

Senior Year: 1

     It’s been a long time since my last post. Where I have I been? I don’t know… So first quarter ends this friday, and I’m so excited about it. That means that I only have three quarters of high school left, and then I’m gone. This year is going by pretty fast, and I’m way pumped about it. However, I just realized today how much work I have to do second quarter. In my senior composition class we have to do reserved readings, which are like newspaper or magazing articles, and answer questions about them, and we have to do book responses. Well, we have to do ten reserved readings, I’ve done one, and we have to do four book responses, I’ve done none. This is per semester. So I have one quarter to do all of that, plus all the other work we get for that class, and then all my other homework for other classes. It’s pretty crazy. It’s a good thing I’m a fast reader.

     This year I’m in charge of Cats for Christ, which is our small Christian group thingy at school, and it’s kind of stressful. I totally understand now how Thad feels when he’s trying to get us to talk and interact and we just sit there. In Cats for Christ I like try to get people to talk and actually give feedback, and all they do is sit there. It makes it rather hard. But oh well, God can work througth their silence. I just pray that people are actually getting something out of the things we talk about. Occasionally other people talk, but it’s very rare. I was excited though that I haven’t had to do the devotions every week. There have been a few other people do them. So at least they don’t just have to hear me talk each week. There’s some variety. So that’s cool.

     I really can’t believe that I’m a senior. It seems like after I got to middle school everything just went by so fast. I’m lovin’ it though. I absolutely hate going to school, but I know there is a reason for me being there, besides getting an education. I know that right now my school is my mission field, but until recently I hadn’t been taking advantage of that. So now when I walk into school I don’t view it as just another boring day at school, I view it as another opportunity to tell someone about how awesome my God is.
