My God & the gummies

I got a pretty blunt comment on my blog post that I posted on the 3rd about why athiesm exists; Hipocrisy. Well that statement is true to me, Dc Talk and my famliy and chrisitans who try not to be hypocrites. We all know that hypocrisy exists, and its has forever. It lives in the world even where some don’t believe in God. It’s what ruins lives, it ruins reputation, and it ruins reality. People say one thing and do another. For us christians, we believe in God. We don’t have to see it, or have physical evidence when we already have been given it. Life, laughter, love, family, friends, animals, wonders, the earth, sounds, everything you can possibly imagine is God. He made it, it is his, that is proof. I don’t wake up every morning and doubt it, I don’t see my mom’s smiling face and doubt it, I don’t play with my dogs and doubt it, I don’t experience pain and doubt it, I don’t want to doubt it. I don’t – it’s in my heart, my head and my soul. It is real to me, and that’s good enough. I wish it was enough for other people.

Now, I love opinions because I wouldn’t have let my blog allow comments if I didn’t want them. So I got one that is asking me whether or not I want to approve it.

Here it is: Nice song, but false. Atheism exists because there is no God. Simple really.

Well I’m sorry, but God does exist. Wait – no, I’m not sorry – because He is great. He is wonderful and he made each and every one of us, even those who don’t believe in him.

God exists beause my gummies say so. God made me gummi bears- the best thing in the ENTIRE world. How can you NOT believe in a guy like that?!?

—- I had waaaaaaaaaaay more to say, but we had the Penguin Grandparents come in and we’ve spent the past two days with them so I’ve managed to forget these things.

OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!!!! By the way …. I worked my butt off, and it payed off. I got home last night from b-day shopping for Mama (HAPPY BDAY MAMA!) and checked my grades on powerschool – and OMG – can you believe it?!?! I finished off this year with a 4.0! Yay!

^_^ anyways off to save the world one cupcake at a time … *whispers* and then rule the planet with the Gummi Bears …. *

An inspiration

One of my now favorite poems since one of my dear friends gave it to me. Enjoy – will blog about the meaning too as well soon – don’t worry.

Since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady- I swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
–the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

And death I think is no parenthesis !

by Edward Estlin Cummings

Why Atheism exists: Hypocrisy

ybtolerant — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:04:44 +0000

What if I stumble by Dc Talk
This is one of my favorite songs. I love it, it is amazing and it truly depicts the reality of the world today.

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”

Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?

Father please forgive me for I can not compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose on the narrow road you’ve carved
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar
Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise all the doubt I’m feeling

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

What if I stumble?
Everyone’s got to crawl when you know that
You’re up against a wall, it’s about to fall
Everyone’s got to crawl when you know that

I hear You whispering my name [You say]
“My love for You will never change” [never change]

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You are my comfort, and my God

A note to care

Today I learned what it was like to not stress. FINALLY.

Today I saw how my choices affect others.

Today I had a friend be concerned about me – whether or not they wanted me to see it – and I appreciated it.

Today I got sleep without nightmares.

Today I found a safe haven inside my mind, and it’s hard to reach, but that place I found was really nice. It wasn’t even sleep because I knew what was going on around me. I was closing my eyes, but it was like shutting off my main conscience and living in my heart for a bit.

Today I want everyone to know I love them. I might not show it, and I might not say it but if you are in my life – there’s gotta be a reason, and I don’t know where I’d be if I never met you. Thank you.

Today I would like to say – Amen to the Lord because he has got me here safely and he has made sure of that, and now I am a happy girl.

*Supergirl*

The end

OMG = “Oh – Em – Gee” say it with me. Where on earth has my year gone? I have a total of 7 days of school left. Counting weekends & stuff, its 13 days. It seems like yesterday I was just walking in to school on my first day as a freshman scared out of my wits. Now I’m exiting as a sophmore, entering a summer of two juniors classes then on to be a Senior with the graduating class of 2009! Gah – now summer! What am I going to do with myself you might ask? Well….

I haven’t said anything yet, and I wanted to wait until mom posted about it so that it would be ok for me to write about it. I have decided to graduate early, and get out of highschool. I want a head start into college, and I want out of the drama. I know that public school is one thing that some people just have to experience, and it’s something that some never get to. Well I have had a dose of public, private and homeschool – Now gimme college. I know – I’m 16, its a big step. But I can’t wait. It’s a big deal to me, and I’m hapy about it. I talked to a counselor, got all my info, talked to the parentals, and now not only am I signed up, and paid into online summer courses, I have already finished orientation!

So – me – this girl - you could say has been trying to change. I want to prove to myself, my parents, and God that I can push myself and follow through. I want to be all that I can. Are you asking – well if you are so set on going to college early – what do you want to do? Well- I want to major in whatever it takes to be a forensic scientist. One of those people on CSI or Law and Order who use evidence, and look at DNA and soil and weird details in investigations and be able to help convict a guilty person. Moreso for the fun of learning helping out and for the microscopes and stuff- not just because I want to be noticed. Also, I want to minor in language arts. I want to learn languages – I know english (DUH), learning spanish, and will be learning American Sign Language next year. SO this way, I can be an interpreter and go traveling – and then when I travel ALL OVER THE WORLD I can share my faith in the languages I know!!

Anyways – want to blog more – will get back to you when I remember because I seem to be getting distracted very easily lately – !!

So true

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God

Round one!!!

Still haven’t found what I’m looking for – U2 – David C

Perfect from the beginning. He is top two for a reason. Perfect pitch, harmony, balance and rasp in his voice. Mom and I love this song. It fits his personality. He definitly knows he can sing so he doesn’t try too hard, he just has fun with it.

Don’t let the sun go down on me – Elton John – David A

Pure angelic voice. No Flaws!! Every time he sings I goosebumple! LOL his voice is so much older than him! In a good way – it just means he can sing anything he wants and sound brilliant.

They both deserve TO WIN DANGIT!!!!
Might I point out Simon is a pain in the butt?? Oh wait everyone knows that already!! David has such a big heart, and he’s such a soft sweet guy. Humble throughout this whole season.

Round Two!!! New song

David C – Dream big by Emily Shakleton

I wish I had heard this before he sang it. Still amazing!!! Wow. You dreamed big and SOOO got there!! Dad just said that he’s very genuine to the music – its his to share & it means something to him. Mesmerizing & he used his charming personality to achieve his goal of showing his talent.

David A – In this moment
Pure (SHUT UP YOU STUPID FANGIRLS – don’t you realize I am trying to listen to him????)
I love him. Sweet sweet voice, like honey. I could listen to him sing all day. I would let him sing me to sleep, and I would wake up to him on the radio, and yah. He is absolutely wonderful.

Round 3!!! Contestan Choice

David C – The world I know
Aw. He is so multi and modern. He can make any song his. He does so wonderfully behind a guitar too.

(I love it when Simon winks!! So cute. Yes – I’m a simon lover!!)

David A – Imagine by Beatles/John Lennon
Can’t it be AMERICAN IDOLS?? Its terribly hard for me to choose who to vote for!!!!!! Archie has such sincerity full power emotion and wow – there are no words. I can’t help but gawk in awe & just fall more in love with him!!!

(Posted via blackberry sorry if its a bit crazy & sporatic!!)

Anyways – hope you like!!

Post on me blog who think will or who you think should win!!
