Thank you Lord God for this day, for this moment, for this second. Please help me to use it for Your Glory and not my own.

Lack of Comments
There has been a serious lack of comments on all of my favorite blogs and I want to know why? Where are you guys? Christmas shopping or something, get them a tie they'll love it. Anyway, I just remembered a story that a priest had in his homily last Christmas and I wanted to share it with you! (I'm sooo nice!)
So, there was an old man that lived pretty far away from the rest of his family. Every year when Christmas came around he would have to leave his house for a full day of shopping and then he would have to deal with shipping the presents he bought for his far away relatives. One year he decided it was too much trouble so he thought he would send them money. He got his big stack of checks and started signing all of the Christmas cards and on each he would write the cheerful note of "go buy your own presents" since he never knew what to get them anyway. He took the cards and sent them to the houses of his relatives. A few weeks passed and he had gotten no "thank yous" or any response for that matter. He was very troubled.
A few weeks later he was cleaning off his desk and found a stack of checks which he forgot to send. Then he realized that all he gave his relatives were cards that said, "go buy your own presents!"
lol! I thought it was funny!

Is this clock right?
I never know if the clocks in this school are right! Even the computer clocks are off!
Well, whatever the time is, it's almost time for Thanksgiving break! Just a little more time in school and then JCDA stuff then I get to go home! Besides cleaning the house and the stress of people coming over, I like thanksgiving. I had study hall yesterday and right b4 the bell rang the coach said, "I know alot of you think that you have nothing to be thankful for but remember, you have 2, 2, 2, and 2," as he pointed around the room. What he meant was that we should be thankful that we have 2 ears, 2eyes, 2 arms, and 2, legs. If for nothing else , we should be thankful for that. Even though I have to clean my house, I should still be thankful for my family that Im cleaning for. Thank God for every blessing that you have! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Why is this sooo funny?
I dont know why I remember this so well but I was watching tv, ok, I was flipping through really, but anway, I came across a cartoon that I had seen b4 so I started to watch. (In the show, the main kid can fly)
This is what I heard:
"Oh, I laugh at gravity all the time! Gravity...hahaha!"
I
ve also noticed that Full House is actually pretty funny. In an episode I just saw it's Danny's b-day and Jess decides to get seat covers for Danny' car. On the way back from the store, Jess wrecks Danny's car and he(Danny) is in shock. The next day, Danny is reading a book to Michelle. What he says is really funny!
(in an excited tone)
"oh look! it's mr. dog! what sound does mr. dog make?" -D
"woof"-M
turns the page*
"oh look! it's mr. pig! what sound does mr. pig make?"-D
"oink"-M
turns the page and stares*
"oh look....its mr car.....what sound does mr car make?" -D
*silence
"that right...mr car doesnt make any sound because he's dead..."

So, parade practice wasn't as bad as I thought it was. When I did the last post on it I was having a pretty good day, then I went to lunch and after lunch my day kept getting worse. Maybe it was b/c I knew that I had to do about 40 more notecards when I got home or maybe it was the fact that I still needed it finish my weaving, single-thread-knot thing, and the back/blanket stitches. With all of that stuff to do and annoying people in my class, let's just say, I had a bad day. I really wasn't looking forward to practice b/c I knew we would be parade marching and Ive already expressed my fear of that. We started out on the field to do the halftime show for this week and ITS NOT THE COLLEGE SHOW, then we walked up to the back parking lot to play through the parade music. Well, the first song was good and the second song was....terrible and we were standing still. After that we lined up and began to march out of the back parking lot. This was what I really wasnt looking forward to! The wind was blowing, it was really cold, and there were potholes everywhere! After such a bad day, I was sure it was about to get worse but actually, it got better. I feel bad for saying this but we sounded terrible! The wind was blowing our music around so much that none of us could to it to even attempt to play. To tell you the truth, it made me feel a little better. I wish I couldve seen what we looked like from a window! It must have been hilarious! I guess what my long, rambling story is supposed to do is to remind me that I shouldnt worry so much about everything and just laugh it off, and if that doesnt work, Chris will probably offer you a lollipop.

Sooo....
Weve got practice today. Itll prob be the college show this week....joy. Besides halftime, we also have a parade coming and so thatll be worked on too. I hate parades. I never used to mind them but lately.....yeah, I just hate them. I know that the ones we have this year are basically short but theyre still parades. Mostly what I worry about is the shifting. I never used to but since the shifting incident of the dean martin parade Ive never been the same. I have no confidence whatsoever when it comes to parades now. I never used to have any problems going around turns but now that I think about them too much Im afraid Im messing up and I mess up even more when I know that people are watching to see if I mess up and I can tell when people are watching alot of the time, even when Im not looking at them. Now I know Chris probably thinks ths post is all about him but its not, I mean he does freak me out when it comes to shifting but there are others. I should get over it. Just two more parades and I'm done, right?

Something has changed within me...
...something is not the same.
I have noticed alot of beautiful things in the world around me lately. The rainbow on Sunday, the awesome moon and stars, it's wonderful. I like what Matt put in in blog on his last post about the stars, go read it!
Anyway, I don't know if I'm actually "growing up" or if I'm just tired but I'm really starting to laugh at some of the ideas Ive had for soo long. I'm not going to get into those ideas too much but now that I think about what Ive been so concerned about in my life, which isnt going to matter in the end, I really start to laugh. I wish I would shut up long enough to let God talk to me instead of going on about what I'm thinking about. Maybe I'm just scared of what Ill hear.
"Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
[Chorus:]
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you your wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear
[Chorus]
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands"
