Few quotes worth blogging

The Christian life of love is a supernatural life. It is not produced by merely human forces. It takes resources that we do not have. This is very crucial for us to admit. It is humbling. Left to ourselves we cannot love. But this is very encouraging. Because what it means is that, if you are sitting there and feeling: I am not by nature a loving person, you are not at a disadvantage, because in fact nobody is by nature a loving person. If we were, love would not be a fruit of the Holy Spirit; it would be a fruit of our personality or our upbringing or our chromosomes. In fact you may be farther along than a person who feels that love is a natural thing. They will have a harder time learning how to love because they may not look for the resources in the right place. JP


The Christian life is supposed to be lived every day in the same way that it began. In the Christian life you don't graduate from Spirit to flesh or from faith to works. The Christian life begins with faith and the Holy Spirit; and it is lived by faith and by the Spirit. Faith is the first grade of the Christian life and it is the graduate school of the Christian life. And the Holy Spirit is the teacher and the power at every level. We never graduate to something else. It's always faith and the Spirit. JP <"http://www.desiringgod.org">

Everything's Changing When I Turn Around

Howdy! My email address has changed because there has been a slight change in plans. I was studying TESOL at the University of Northern Iowa, but as of Thursday October 6th I have withdrawled from the school because I am not interested in the program. It's not like I woke up one day and said "I don't want to go to school anymore." I've been trying to find something I like and I thought for sure I had found it. However as I got into the program and the classes I realized that my expectations didn't meet the reality of what is really is. I highly despise being in school, which is my main reason for not being a teacher. Just can not stand it now so I dont think I'd like to be in it for a career.
So currently I am working as much as possible and in the fall I will probably attend Hawkeye Community College and study Child Development because all I really want to do in life is being a homemaker who is involved in alot of ministry whether in the church or outside of it. Oh and someday it would be cool if we owned a little bread and breakfast.

"I know I'm getting my pic taken but I don't wanna look so I will act like I am busy with my straw rapper."

mmmm..........trying to be sexy with a cloudy glass of water..........mmmmmm hhmmmm ok thats only something jamee might possibly think about that.

September 2005

You will find that I have randomly placed photos on this web site. Basically these photos describe what I have been up to the past month of September. To begin let me start with the weekend of the 16h and 17th. Me and some friends went to our other friend's place in Iowa City to attend the Iowa vs. UNI football game. Got to experience some real tailgating (Not like small UNIS) and enjoyed the game very much.
Alot of the pictures I have posted are from Tisha and Chris Murray's wedding reception. I can't believe they finally tied the knot! WOW! Congradulations kids!
And lastly there is a picture of my car. Yes on September 22, 2005 my car was taken to the cc to get better. An older man failed to yield while changing lanes and damaged me. sad. BUT THERE ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE THAN A CAR!
So there you have the description of the pictures. Enjoy!
