Well, this is my last post on this blog. My first post was on January 4, 2007, and this post is my 218th. Wow, I've had this blog for a long time, I'm kinda sad to stop posting on it. But I really do like Blogger.

Good-bye Bravenet blog.
 
See you all at my new blog!

Hey, all, I got a blogger blog: http://kittycatlover7.blogspot.com/
You happy now?

Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor?" "Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid?" For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen.   Romans 11:33-36

This should be the single desire of the Christian... You are not acting as you ought to do when you are moved by any other motive than a single focus on the Lord's glory... As a Christian, you are "from Him and through Him," and so you must live "to Him." Do not let anything set your heart beating so fast as love for Him... Make God your only object.     ~ Charles Spurgeon

Wow. God is so awesome, how can we not praise Him!

I'm thinking about getting a Blogger blog. Should I or shouldn't I? I really don't want to loose all my posts on this blog. Hmm...

On the trip up:




Traffic near DC. I'll never complain about Charlotte traffic again!




I like this picture. I'm not sure why. (that's Grandma in the background)




The flower centerpiece.




Our goofy cousin Nate




Pretty Virginia scenery on the trip back




I like the one hill that's lit up in this picture:










Goofiness!

My blog is annoying. Sometimes when I approve a comment, it doesn't show up when I go look at my blog. On my last post Adam Davis commented "fall is definitely my favorite season. but i guess they all have pros and cons. con of fall: raking." Let me know if anyone can see the comment on the post. It could be just my computer.

I really like this song. (sorry I'm posting lyrics again)

Thank You
by Sanctus Real

There are new horizons with colors that I’ve never seen
The sky is filled with graces, since You have carried me
I felt so far beyond Your reach, but You gave everything for me
I was lost but You rescued my life

Why in the world did You come after me?
Thank you, thank you
Words aren’t enough, but for now I can say
Thank you, thank you

There is hope rising ‘cause You have strength I’ve never seen
And your eyes are shining, ‘cause You shed tears for me
I was miles from dry land, but You gave everything You had
I can’t understand a love of this kind

I could find other lines that You haven’t heard spoken over and over again
I’ve tried every way, but I keep landing on that simple phrase
So I’ll keep singing, “thank you”

Today I was on headset at work (again). I was supposed to work 7-3, but ended up staying until 5. Just like Friday. But I'm not as tired as I was Friday, 'cause I got a better sleep. :) I'm getting tired of doing drive-thru every day. I know, I shouldn't complain. I should be thankful that I have this job, which I am, but I'd like to do something different, you know?  

I didn't really do that much on my 'media fast'. I cleaned, scrapbooked, and talked with Mom. I should have read a theology book or something. Oh well, the fast was very helpful. I realize I do spend a lot of time on media that I could be using to do other, more profitable things. I definitely listen to music way too much. Almost the entire day Saturday I had songs running through my head, and I was thinking, "It's too quiet! I need music!" I need to work on that. I need to tell myself that God is all I need.


Enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You're my reward worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

And all of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You're my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You're my coming King, You are everything
Still more awesome than I know

And all of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

Last night Anna and I helped with the Mission28 coffee house at UNCC. It was so fun! I got to take people's orders and give them their drinks for one hour. I couldn't help saying "my pleasure" when they said thank you, 'cause it kinda felt like I was at work. After serving, I got to sit and listen to the Already Not Yet Band, Liz's testimony, and an 'open mic' session. There are some pretty talented people out there. Afterward, I got to help clean up. It was fun serving with other people in our church! 

I'm pretty tired right now. I was up late for the coffee house, then I worked 7-5 today. I was on headset the entire time, except one 20 minute break, and we were pretty busy, so, yeah, I'm tired.

Tomorrow I'm doing a "media fast" for M28 care group. That means no computer, no TV, no iPod, no phone or cell phone (so don't try to call me ), no electronics at all for 24 hours. I think the main reason our care group is doing this is to see how much we use media and how much we are drawn to this world and away from God.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Well, Obama won the election. I don't know why, but I'm not worried about that. Maybe it's because I know all things work for the good of those who love God (Romans 8:28). Or maybe it's because I'm not directly affected by who's president, so I don't care. What do you think?

"Our God not only hears prayer, but also loves to hear it. He does not forget the cry of the humble."  ~Charles Spurgeon

Today at work, we started selling the new peppermint chocolate milkshake. It is so delicious! And it's not as sickening sweet as the coffee caramel milkshake. You should definitely try one.

I'm not worried at all about the election. I don't know if it's God giving me peace about it, or if I sinfully don't care what happens. It's hard to tell. Hmm...

Yesterday we had a Chick-fil-A meeting - yes, on a Sunday. We talked about Chick-fil-A's "recipe for service," which is to "enhance customer experiences". It really motivated me to serve customers more, like carrying their trays for them instead of just handing them the trays. Just taking a minute to help someone to a table can really make a difference, ya know? I mean, how many fast-food places actually help you find a seat?
