About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed. Complete Profile

      New Blogger
      Hey peoples, we have a new blogger amoung us. Go to Matt's blog. He didn't have any comments cuz no one knew about his blog. So if you feel like it, be nice and go visit it. :)

      School
      I was supossed to start school today. But, since Allen and Zachary don't start till Wednesday, My mom thought we should do the same! It's kind of irritating, cuz everyone already started and I'm getting pretty bored. But, oh well. I will live. Although, I think I'm going to at least start Algebra today because I wanted to take it with Mary and Mrs. Ray (well, mostly just with Mary ;)) and she started last week. Soo...I figure I might as well start the first easy lessons and just get on with it! I thought Northside classes started this Thursday, but apparently they don't start till September. That's a bummer, too. *sigh* What am I going to do with my life for three more days?

      Job
      No not job, JOb, like in the Bible. :) Last night I was doing my quiet time, and I started reading in Job. It's an awesome book, if none of you have read it. I'm sure most of you have and you pretty much know the story. If you don't, go read it. ;) Anyways, I just thought it was really neat to think about. Here Job is with a wonderful life, blessed by God. Then one day, for reasons he doesn't know, almost all of it gets taken away. His flocks, his servants, even his children! I mean, I have so many wonderful things in my life - family, friends, church, home etc. And if I had even one, much less all of these things taken away, I would have a hard time even accepting it! And Job just says, "Naked I came from my mothers womb, and I shall return. The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21) That's just amazing to me! It makes me think how much I need to strive to not care so much about earthly things, even people, that I would not totally trust in God and remember Who has given me all these things.

      Verse of the Day:
      "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in
      heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be
      alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a
      man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in
      charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at
      the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do
      not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether
      in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,
      or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you
      sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: Watch!"
      ~Matthew 13:32-37~

      Song of the Day
      "Dare you to Move"
      ~Switchfoot~

      Quote of the Day:
      "If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be, he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."
      ~Winnie the Pooh~
