Hello, people! How am I (I should always begin my blog posts like that shouldn't I?)? :)Well, I'm pretty much exhausted. I have been gone almost every day this week. So, tomorrow, I get the day off! I'm so excited!!! Not only do I get the day off, but I get a Sunday off! I rarely ever get Sundays off! How did this come about?
Well, with my mom's new job at our church as the pre-school director, I've been working my behind off. Not to say that she hasn't been, but that's a different story. Anyway, as I said, I've been gone nearly every day, which meant I was behind on homework and totally and completely worn out. Well, last night, I pretty much had a break down because I was so tired and yet still had so much to do. So my mom forced me to take Sunday off and rest. Rest? That word hasn't been in my vocabulary for weeks! So tomorrow, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to rest, and catch up on homework (oxy moron? Hmm...).
So, when I check back on here tomorrow or Monday, I'm going to be feeling much better.
Anyways, I've been thinking lately about that whole saying: "God's never going to give you more than you can handle." I've been wondering if it's actually true. Because I think God always gives us more than we can handle. Why? To show us His glory. I think that the previous statement implies that God is going to make it so that we can always handle things by ourselves. But, if we were always able to handle things by ourselves, we wouldn't really need God would we? I don't know about you, but I think that contradicts the Bible. So, I think that the phrase should be changed to, "If God ever gives you more than you can handle, He will always be there." Hm. Well, maybe it needs revising. I'd better work on that. Comment and tell me if you agree with my theory.
Well, after all that, I feel like I need to ask you guys something random about yourselves like my friend, Josh does. So I'll end this post like this, if you were marooned on a deserted island, what are two things you must have with you? Comment and tell me. And leave you names while you're at it. :)
Good night, friends!

lol, YAY RANDOM QUESTIONS! I ask these to get to know the people around me beter, b/c I think it's important to get to know the real them and not just what they show. I want deeper relationships with my friends, that's the purpose of the random question technique. :)
If i was trapped on a deserted Island, I would want a boat and someone to drive it to get off. But maybe that's the cheating...
Unless you count food and water (not to mention air, clothes, my favorate teddy bear, and other neccesities) I would want a Bible, and a close a friend.
Your poem was awesome btw, I can't help you much if you want serious critism; I can never get the rythem and beat of poetry quiet right...your figurative language was really really gud tho. I think you should draw a picture for it and post it on here ; )
As for your bible qoute...
it sounds almost like your using the saying from a verse that says "God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength." It something Paul said when dealing with sin, that when we're presented with temptation that "God will provide a way of escape"
I agree with what you said tho, God truly shows His power in our weakness, espically when we break down to the lowest of our lows. It makes us truly depend on our God and keeps our relationship right with Him, it shows His grace, His mercy, and His strength. In "our weakness He is strong." I think God gives us more than we can handle to remind us of who He is and to depend on Him, to love Him and draw us closer to Him. I know He definatly refined me through trials in my life, through it God loves us in a profound way and really shows who He is as He comforts, molds, and shapes us.
God Bless Sarah! See ya Wensday!

P.S. Since you asked a random question on your blog, Here's one to think about and answer if you don't find it too personal. What do you think the desire of your heart is? Meaning, the one thing that in the center of your being, the core of your chest, you want most; besides living for God and serving Him.
