Wedding

Today was my cousins wedding and to my surprise I was at awe with the theme, decorations, ceremony, and reception. EVERYTHING was so original and sweet. The wedding was so personal, you could really tell that they took the time to think of the cute ideas that appeared in the wedding. My mom and I couldn't get over the fact that they washed each others feet at their ceremony and had a bit of praise with good worship songs by hillsong united (:
Overall I give it a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale. It was simple yet very very cute.
I loved every minute of it.
Listening to Josh's vows were so touching.

They are a couple dedicated to God and that it the way it is supposed to be.

God really did make them like puzzle pieces.

He created marriage as a partnership in encouragement and achievement of better things that one could not do on their own. If God is at the center of your relationship/marriage then it is guaranteed to be a success. Never does God promise that it will be perfect, and He outlines the basis of a legitimate reason to divorce. Marriage is not easy, but it will be a lot easier when God is who you both look to. 

Something the pastor said "When you have God in your heart, you are whole and you do not need another to complete you, but when two complete people come together it makes something spectacular"

Love each other and grow together in God

Today I watched I.Q., it was a great movie. It really made me want to expand my knowledge and take the higher level maths. Although, I think it would be unnecessary because I wont be applying it to anything. I think it would be cool to try something that most people don't have the courage to do. It also reminded me of how Einstein was actually very philosophical and had advice for the common individual. He never took life too seriously. He was also very aware of the fact that science was nothing without a divine creator. There is way to much order in this world to accredit it to chance. Anyone can be as great as they wish to be, only if they allow themselves to. Most of us believe that we might not be able to handle our dreams, we are scared that we cannot achieve them. We can achieve many things if we believe we can. Don't let anyone ever tell you you can't.
I know that laziness can really be a big part of the reason why we don't achieve things, but tell yourself that "great minds do not become great until something extraordinary has come out of them" (that's my own personal quote, it took some thinking). Challenge yourself and force yourself to get moving and start thinking. 
Now, if I could spent one day with him...or just have his brain. That would be nice. 

God is Constant

Working for God

He's the best employer ever, you do not need to look for the job. God looks for you, and he calls you to respond. I cant wait until I begin working for Him. I have this extreme joy and excitement when I look outside my window. I see the world that is left to conquer and how God will be using me to do it. 

Im beyond excited. 

Hopefully I get the acceptance letter soon so I can begin planning accordingly. 

I love the Lord and His plan. 

I know that I will be challenged now that I have agreed to work for Him. 

I pray that I will be able to handle it and keep my eyes looking at God. 

He would leave a million for One sheep

Never in my life have I quite understood the parable of the lost sheep like I do now.
How in the world could God leave His flock of sheep for one straying, unfaithful, and doubting sheep?
Its unbelievable that He would do such a thing.
But when one strays, God takes notice, and He does everything in His power to get him back with the rest of the sheep, but only this time he will be carrying this sheep on His back. God is love. We tend to forget that, everything He does is driven by love.
Seventh-day Adventist, especially, tend to press rules on people and forget what God and salvation is about! Yes, God made these rules, but he didn't make it to hurt, judge, or enslave people. God make these rules with the intention of protecting and aiding their happiness.
God would drop every broken rule committed by the sheep in exchange for salvation.
Without thinking twice.
God is a God with dedication and love for every sheep out there.
If murderers, rapist, and doubters can live with Him happily in Heaven, we also can.
its just a matter of letting Him enter your life.
How can I love anyone more than God? when He loves me no matter what?

At the End of the Day

Review your day, see what you liked, see what you didn't.
Then realize that you just completed an entire day and if you did not smile the entire day
take the time to try it!
A simple smile can transform your entire day, it allows you to express yourself quietly.
Whether a half smile, a full teeth-showing smile, or a closed mouth corners of your mouth reaching towards your ears smile. Whichever is your preference
Take the time to make someone else smile, if you haven't yet
Because if your truly know that a smile can change your own day then perhaps it can brighten another's

Reconsideration and Affirmation

Today, I spent a couple hours doubting myself and doubting my intentions.
Others had pointed out that I'm rushing and doing things for the wrong reason
My friends were convinced that I was following my dreams and supported me totally.
I thank God for them, they showed me the true reason for my decisions.
Given the pressure of making the right decision, I took a step back and reconsidered my attendance to a certain university and quickly researched my other options.
I suddenly felt free and like what I was doing was correct.
I let myself soak in the information and found that maybe I would like to go to a different university.
I pondered the thought and was happy with my open-mindedness
I felt like looking further so I looked up youtube videos.
Affirmation crept up my spine as I watched the spirituality of my original decision.
I remain open minded yet I also saw that I wasn't making rash decisions.
I really did see something in Tennessee. 

Plans Change

Never in my life did I ever think that my future plans would ever change, but leave it to God to show me that life isn't according to my own plans. 

He has a greater and grander plan for us that we can ever imagine. 

When it happens it goes so fast that you don't even see it happening, but what you have to do, is stop, think, and appreciate what has been set before you and what you have done. 

I think back on my life and decisions and see how it all added up. It was set up. This was the plan all along. 

Keeping the concentration and allowing God to take a handle of your life is difficult at first but I think eventually everything will fall into place.

I can not wait until that happens. 

Mingling with the Theologians,

I'm excited to work for Him
