Angela’s Weblog

I have not updated in forever. I kind of  just want to get all of the crazy things that have been going on in my head out, though!

I am completely in love with the Lord. I feel it. I feel so full of Him. I am reading the bible not only because I have to, but because I really want to. I am learning things every day about my relationship with Him. And it’s all so great. I know I need to keep moving forward though. I want to be someone who is pure of heart. I want to get rid of all of the excess in my life and focus more on the only important thing in this world. It’s going to be EXTREMELY hard to give up buying things, and feeling good about having things, and desiring all of these..THINGS! But that is where I want to get. I want to be able to live in a box, with one pair of clothes and a bible and be completely content with my life. Maybe I don’t want exactly that to happen, but I just want to be thankful for everything I have. The kind of thankful that leaves me feeling like there’s nothing more I need. That even if it was all taken away, the fact that I have God would suffice. That’s the way I feel right now. I just don’t want that to ever go away.

So a lot has happened since summer started. Good things, bad things, just regular type things. One of the biggest obviously being the death of Ally. It’s been like a week or so but I haven’t really expressed all the things that I thought were awesome about everything. yes, I said awesome!

At the memorial service everyone could stand up and say anything about Ally. Everyone was talking about how Ally was such a happy person and they were telling all these amazing memories they had with her. One girl in the balcony stood up and turned me into the biggest blubbering baby you will ever see. She told everyone that because of what she saw in Ally’s life, and her love for God, she now wants a closer relationship with Christ. I couldn’t help but cry, it was amazing, how God could take something so seemingly terrible like the death of a 17 year old girl and transform it into all these lives being touched and changed for something greater.

Another awesome part of it is how many opportunities have opened up to talk about things that people don’t generally like to talk about. Satan. And how he is here to steal, kill, and destroy. And while most people think those things don’t actually happen, they do. But the most amazing part is that while Satan thought he could kill her just by killing this earthly body, he could never kill her spiritual body! He has made that mistake so many times, just look at the death of Jesus. The demons were having a ball when Jesus died on the cross, but they didn’t count on Him being even more awesome than before!

So there is my second post in this thing…maybe someone will end up reading it!

Apparently it’s the new cool thing to get one of these guys. I don’t know how it’s any different from Livejournal but whatever.

So this is my first post. I don’t really know what to say. I have been listening to The Glorious Unseen for like twenty minutes and it’s really good cause it’s worship that I love to listen to all the time.  I have more finals tomorrow but this day off was nice. I am not too worried about finals at the moment..i probably should be considering i have no idea what to do on my contemporary issues one and I haven’t studied at all for chemistry. It’s snuffin though. God is really good. I’ve wanted to talk to my friend about Godly stuff and bring up this one thing i was worried about and she just brought it up today. It was really good because I didn’t know at all about how to bring it up. But she just like said things that I was thinking about talking to her about. I know not everything is supposed to be easy like that but I was thankful that this was easier. I don’t know though. I worry about giving spiritual advice to people sometimes. Especially at times when I feel like I’m nowhere where I should be when it comes to God. And I mean hopefully i always feel like that, even when i am in a good place, that I need to grow. Because I always will need to grow. But I don’t know. Rob Bell is coming out with that thing Everything Is Spiritual. I want to see that DVD because I saw some previews and it looks cool. I just started looking for podcasts to help me like get better at hearing Godly things all week long. Hopefully they help out. I’m kinda rambling so that will be it for this entraaa

wooo
