things that i am greatly looking forward to in the near future:

1 day--THE WEEKEND

3 days until Brittany Wright's birthday (dec 4th)

9 days until Joe Bland's brithday (dec 10th)

make sure to wish them happy birthdays

11 days (of school) left until break begins

24 days until Christmas

27 days until my brithday (dec 28th)

stuff worth thinking about:

*time is your most precious gift.you only have a set amount of it.

--why does it always take a monumental situation to truly realize this???

*if you know people who have wandered off from God's truth,

don't write them off.

Go after them.

Get them BACK.

*never hold grudges.forgive.

--thats tough

*Humility is not thinking less of yourself;

it is thinking of yourself less.

--be interested in the lives of others.show love.agree with each other.

*RELATIONSHIPS ARE ALWAYS WORTH RESTORING

--make the first move...restore broken fellowship--this is important

& can also be a difficult move to make

pray about it...

"if you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering,

you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you,

abandon your offering, leave immediately,

go after this friend

and make things right.

Then and only then, come back and work things out with God."

*No one meets all of your needs EXCEPT God.
