first pumpkin carving

carved my first pumpkin thurs!!! took me FOREVER. didnt realize pumpkins were so heavy. carved the top off which took an hr. then when i tried to stick my hand in to take the seeds out the hole was too small. so i had to cut the hole bigger. ugh then getting the seeds out was the messy part of it. i had a shovel so that helped alot but the job took forever. then came the carving. it was really dark out by the time i got to this part. so my friend michael had to hold a flood light over me so i could see what i was doing. considering it was my first one....came out pretty good. its now sitting in my dorm room :D

HOP

I love being involved with HOP. It is an amazng experience and Im so glad IC has something like this. Maybe I will talk up the role of being in the director of this. I dont know but ill pray about it. I cant wait till Keeley joins in January!!!!!!! I love being able to use something that I love ASL to praise Him and being glory to Him and also bless the congrgations.

Heartache

Tired of carying around burdens. I want desperatly to ditch it somewhere. Whenever I think about things that hurt me, I can feel my heart tighten so hard it hurts.

Glory to God Forever

Before the world was made

Before you spoke it to be
You were the King of Kings
Yeah you were, yeah you were
And now You’re reigning still
Enthroned above all things
Angels and saints cry out
We join them as we sing

Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever

Creator God You gave me breath
So I could praise Your great and matchless name
All my days, all my days
So let my whole life be a blazing offering
A life that shouts and sings
The greatness of our King

Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever

Take my life, and let it be
All for You and for Your glory
Take my life and let it be Yours

Take my life and let it be
All for You and for Your glory
Take my life and let it be Yours

We sing, Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever

Take my life, and let it be

All for You and for Your glory
Take my life and let it be Yours

Take my life and let it be
All for You and for Your glory
Take my life and let it be Yours
We sing, Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God Forever

I want my life to be Yours. Help me to see Your will.

Drinking

Do I drink or not or just a little? I have already experienced drinking too much and do not want to go down that path again. A close Christian friend choose not to drink at all. Should I follow his lead or not? I feel like I should just be more careful how much I drink. I don't feel its wrong except that I know my parents do not like it and they think I don't drink at all. So its a bit deceiving. At this point I think I'm just not going to drink more than one cup. I already refuse to drink beer. I want to try wine though.
