10 Things God CAN'T Do:

  1. God can't get tired.
    Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary.
    —Isaiah 40:28

     
  2. God can't take on a job he can't handle.
    Ah, Lord God! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
    —Jeremiah 32:17

     
  3. God can't be unholy.
    And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"
    —Isaiah 6:3

     
  4. God can't be prejudiced.
    In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears him and works righteousness is accepted by him.
    —Acts 10:34-35

     
  5. God can't break a promise.
    My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of my lips.
    —Psalm 89:34

     
  6. God can't remember sins he's chosen to forget.
    I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
    —Isaiah 43:25

     
  7. God can't make a loser.
    Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ.
    —2 Corinthians 2:14

     
  8. God can't abandon you.
    Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, he is the one who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
    —Deuteronomy 31:6

     
  9. God can't stop thinking about you.
    How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you.
    —Psalm 139:17-18

     
  10. God can't stop loving you.
    Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
    —Jeremiah 31:3

Yes, God can't stop loving you.  There is nothing you can do to make God stop loving you.  There is also nothing you can do to make God start loving you.  He just LOVES you.  Its not because you earned it, its because you're you.  You exist.  You are his child whether you recognize it or not and He loves you more than anyone in this world can. 
He loves you perfectly and completely.

Holy Freaking Crap

December 21st, 2008 (04:45 pm)

So midway through the semester I literally thought I was going to fail at least one class and probably get Cs in the rest of them.  I just had a very depressing semester and found it hard to be motivated for anything especially homework and it was definitely showing.  And so I warned my mom that I probably wouldn't be keeping my scholarship because I have to get a 3.5 gpa to keep it and there was no way in heck I was getting a 3.5.

Well long story short, I got a 3.5!  I have NO idea how I managed that, but I know I couldn't have done it without supernatural help cuz I sucked.  So praise the Lord :)
I brought up a D to an A in less than 2 months.  I'm pretty dang proud of myself, I'm not going to lie.
I didn't even work that hard.  Its not fair, I'll admit it.  I slack off every year and somehow I always get above a 3.5 gpa.

It was awesome though cuz I got most of my grades and I had 3 Bs and 2 As and I had to get an A in my last class to get a 3.5 and I was like yeah there's no way because I did awful in that class because that teacher is a flake and I find it hard to respect him and show up to class or study (unfortunately i have him again next semester too) and so I admitted defeat and told my mom that I was 99.9% sure I did not keep the scholarship and she wasn't surprised since I'd been warning her all semester.
So I check the final grades and I got an A-!  and i'm like literally stunned into silence and I'm like "mooommmm.....*points at the screen*" and she's like "no way!"   aw good times.  i think its cuz his harddrive crashed and he let us do extra credit worth 50 points, which I'm glad I did last minute cuz it obviously helped.  I was only .6% away from getting an A in another class.  tiiicked.  ticked at myself because i could have pushed myself a little harder and got it, cuz i barely pushed myself at all.

but anyway.  i'm not posting to like be all prideful, even though i am proud of myself.  i just thought i'd share my little christmas miracle of a 3.5 gpa.  hahaha.  i'm seriously still in shock.  how the heck did i pull that off?

ok back to decorating the house.  yup 4 days before Christmas and I've just started decorating.  Happy Holidays! :)

grateful

current mood: grateful
current song: MIKA - relax, take it easy

There is an answer to the darkest times
It’s clear we don’t understand it, but the last thing on my mind is to leave you
I believe that we’re in this together
Don’t scream, there are so many roads left

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do


thanks guys for encouraging words, random texts to cheer me up, prayers, etc.  i really do appreciate it.
don't let me forget that God is way bigger than my problems and that worrying or stressing won't stop anything that's going to happen, its just going to make me stressed.  God has helped millions of  people in harder situations than mine.  i just need to..well.. relax, take it easy.  haha

here's a brief story of my day

December 15th, 2007 (08:47 pm)

WnnaBreatheYouIn: heres the story of today
WnnaBreatheYouIn: i went to the art building at 2:30 to work on my stuff
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and while i was there it started snowing
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and i was gonna go to dinner at 5 but i really wanted to get it done and i didnt think i'd be there for 6 hours
WnnaBreatheYouIn: plus i didnt want my paint to dry while i was gone and then i'd have to remix it all
WnnaBreatheYouIn: so
WnnaBreatheYouIn: i stayed
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and 6:30 loomed around
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and i decided i'd just go to mcdonald's after i finished since the dining commons closes at 7:15
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and i didnt think i'd be that much longer
WnnaBreatheYouIn: 8:15 comes around and i finally finish
WnnaBreatheYouIn: i go outside
WnnaBreatheYouIn: snow all over the place
WnnaBreatheYouIn: the road looked bad but there were cars on it so i decided i'd give it a shot since its not that far
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and
WnnaBreatheYouIn: well thats about as interesting as it gets
WnnaBreatheYouIn: i didnt crash
WnnaBreatheYouIn: thank God
WnnaBreatheYouIn: but i'm snowed in here with no food
WnnaBreatheYouIn: i'm not about to drive all the way to mcd's
WnnaBreatheYouIn: sad
WnnaBreatheYouIn: all i have is icecream and cheese
WnnaBreatheYouIn: but i'm gonna eat it
WnnaBreatheYouIn: cuz i'm hungry
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and i like cheese
WnnaBreatheYouIn: and icecream
WnnaBreatheYouIn: not together though

and here's what took me 6 hours. well more than that, cuz i also worked on it for like 3 or 4 class periods.  or maybe even 5
we had to find a painting in some art magazine:


and a random object in the room:


and we had to sketch out all the shapes and silhouettes of the object and use the shapes to recreate the painting:


here, see them side by side!
  

its not an exact color match obviously, but i'm pretty proud of it!  that sucker was hard

instead i bring youuuuu: 
*here's a sample to make you want to click*
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


anyway, it was a great time.  even though i got like 0 sleep, i had a lot of fun and i'm really glad i re-changed my mind and decided to go.  last night's service was awesome, we had a hilarious guest speaker that i'll probably tell you about later.  i wish the video they played was on youtube cuz it was probably the most amazing video miranda has ever made.
anyhoots, i gotta go back to school for 2 days and i have to leave tonight.  boo
