POTW 6/28/12

Silly me, I forgot to post a phrase of the week last week :P So here are 2 to make up for it :)


Last week's Phrase of the week - 'The cat's meow' 1920s
Meaning - you're just about the coolest thing I have ever laid eyes on! After all, what is a cat without it's meow? It's kind of a pointless cat when you think about it... which is exactly the point!


This week's phrase of the week - 'Chrome dome' 1970s
Meaning - Basically this means that someone's bald. I DARE YOU TO  USE IT ON SOMEONE. I DARE YOU.


Happy phrasing :)

Wishful thinking

I was so excited. School had finally ended, and I thought to myself, 'I'm going to be extremely busy this summer. I have so much I have to do!' This was true for about the first week of summer. My family was in town and I had some friends to hang out with, and some Jesus to share. But then... it descended. Boredom had struck. I was left with virtually nothing to do but sit at the computer and play bejeweled. It's better now, but I still have nothing to do some days. Any suggestions?

I'm such a goon...

So here I am, getting all excited that "Over 300 people have read my blog!!!" When in reality, not that many people have. I found out that Blogger not only tracks when other people view my blog, but when I myself view my blog. *Facepalm*. After turning off the tracking of my own views, my number of pageviews every day rapidly decreased. This would happen to me :P So, being the curious person that I am, I want to know how many people other than myself actually read my blog every day. If you are reading this post, I would be forever grateful if you left a comment of some sort for me :) Please and thank you :)

Take heart :)

"Take heart, for I have overcome the world," John 16:33
I don't know about you, but I would definitely take more than heart if my best friend/master has overcome the world (the world meaning the actual Earth, every abiotic factor and every biotic factor in it.) GOD, the all powerful being that you  serve has overcome the world! Also, Psalm 121:7 says, "The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life." So let me get this straight, God, who has overcome and has complete control of the world, is watching over my life and keeping me from harm? I am definitely going to take a lot more than heart :)


A little food for thought :)

POTW 6/13/12

Today's POTW is....
"Don't take any wooden nickels!"
Commonly used in the 1920s, it means basically, 'don't do anything stupid!' Because really, who would be stupid enough to take a wooden nickel? Wait.... I know a few people who would. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT :)
Use it this week!

Phrase of the week :)

The idea came to me through the same friend that gave me the idea to start a blog. Most do a word of the week or day. For me, I prefer the Phrase Of The Week, or POTW for short :) Every Wednesday I will be posting a phrase from the 1920s, all the way through the present day that I find interesting :) This should be fun :)

Beautiful Mornings :)

See that? ^^

There is a God that makes that for you EVERY MORNING. That's right, EVERY SINGLE MORNING.

Isn't it lovely?

It's not just an accident that the sunrise is beautiful.

It takes a really beautiful God to make a beautiful sunrise.

But really, that sunrise is only a fraction of His glory.

So the next time that you wake up too early on 'accident', get up and go for a walk or just go outside and look at the sunrise and even if you don't believe in God, rest in it's beauty. Because God put it there for you, even if no one else sees it :)

Proverbs 31 :)

There is something about this chapter of the Bible that I just love, and I can't put my finger on what it is.


Wait.


Just kidding I can :) There is something truly wonderful about reading the Bible and saying "I am well on my way to living like that." I don't want to sound conceded, but That's Proverbs 31 for me :) Here are a few verses from that chapter ~



11 Her husband has full confidence in her
    and lacks nothing of value. 
12 She brings him good, not harm,


20 She opens her arms to the poor
    and extends her hands to the needy. 


25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
    and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 


28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


I love the fact that it really doesn't matter how beautiful you are. God doesn't even care. Yes, he made you that way, and you are beautiful in his eyes, but he didn't make you that way just so that you and others can enjoy your beauty. He made you for one reason, and one reason only. To glorify himself. He made you beautiful so that others would look at you and say "WOW! GOD MADE HER? HE MUST BE AN AMAZING GOD!" It doesn't matter if you're really attractive and you have guys falling all over you (unless you're a guy who's reading this, in which it would be the other way around). If you are a beautiful woman who doesn't fear the Lord, your beauty isn't worth anything. It's harsh I know, but it's stated clearly in verse 30. PROVERBS 31 WOMAN, HERE I COME!!!

Summer Boredom :)

Earlier, I was complaining to one of my friends about how bored I was. She sent me a video on YouTube of this guy melting crayons. I decided to give it a go :)

This was the outcome of the melting crayons event :) Simply take some (many...many) crayons, and hot glue them in order onto a piece of paper! Then take a blow-drier and melt them in such a way that they drip down. You're supposed to leave the crayons on the top, but mine ended up falling off towards the end. So, for an original touch, I drew in my own crayons :) Happy melting!

Worship :D

So far, my summer has consisted mainly of this lovelyness :)

I have been trying to seek God more than I have been lately due to the fact that most of my friends have been experiencing the Holy Spirit on higher levels that I have before. And for me (loving music like I do) Worship is the perfect way to do that :) I wake up, read the Bible for a while, pray, and then have about an hour of worship. It's an extremely wonderful habit to get into :) 

He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.

Deuteronomy 10:21

There are few things...

There are few things better than coffee, a Bible, and some good old fashioned fellowship :)

HEY.....LOOK AT THIS. THAT'S AN ORDER

Hey, so there's this girl that I kind of know (Just kidding she's pretty much my BFF(LFBWBLJ)*) And she writes AMAZINGLY GOOD....STUFF. LIKE, BOOKS AND STUFF :)


You should check out her blog :)

Being Young....

Alright, first of all, I am not hating on young people :) I will be the first to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE little chillins' :)

No, I'm going in a different direction with this :) I'm sure that I'm not the only person to agree that being young for your grade is really, REALLY annoying.


For example, on of my friends just got her permit. For me, I can't get my permit until May 8th 2013. By that time, all of my friends will have their licenses and it won't be cool to have your permit anymore (Not that I care about being cool, you silly goose....)


So you enjoy getting your permit when every one of your friends does. I'll be a hipster and get it a year later :)
