An ode to air fresheners

First off id like to say sorry about changing everything around so much. Just the last one was giving me troubles. and although this one doesnt have links yet...i guess illhave to try to figure it out.

Anyways. Sure, this might sound a little silly, but I truly believe that air fresheners are one of the greatest inventions on this earth in years. They are so convenient now too. You can plug them in anywhere. When they are all out of that smelly good stuff, just pop in a refill and you are good to go.

Why am I making such a big deal about these cool devices? Well, let me explain. If you have an animal it takes away the smell.(unless its mine) If you left your leftover lasagna on the desk it can sit there and rot for a week before you start to realize it. After a long day you can come home and open the door to the smell of a frosty winter mist instead of musty gym clothes.

That my friend, is why I am in love with air fresheners. But, we can also take this further and relate it to our every day life as a Christian. God can be the breath of fresh air in our walk with Christ. By reading the Bible, you allow yourself to wash away the sin by realizing how you are to live. By praying, you can eliminate the foul odor by asking for help.

When we have the right tools and equipment, it is easy to make even my place smell fresh and clean. When we have the right stuff in our Christian life, it makes it easier to resist the sin that will stink up the place. If you are living in the dumpster it is time to get washed off. Put a clean pair of underwear on and get out there and make a difference in the world. God Bless

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive Acts 20:35

Were just days away from the big day. If your house is as chaotic as my grandmas, in a day from now your living room floor will be carpeted with wrapping paper. The presents that are neatly wrapped under the Christmas tree will be handed out to whoever its for. Im totally excited for it.

Two years ago I bought my brother a new cd he really wanted for Christmas. he was happy because thats what he wanted. On the other hand, I was happy as well because I gave my brother something he really wanted. It was a joyous moment.

Our society is wrapped up in the opposite of our scripture. It is more blessed to receive that to give is the hearts of most people today. I want to introduce you to a woman who lived over 2000 years ago who understood what it meant to give. She was engaged to a carpenter. One day, the angel of the Lord appeared to her and told her that she would conceive a child. Yes, I am talking about the mother of Jesus, Marry. By her accepting the will of God on her life, she could have lost her future husband because she would be pregnant, and not by him. Yet she did it, and everything turned out peachy!

John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God gave his son so that we may live. I want to look at one more giver. Hebrews 12:2, Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Though Christ had to suffer a lot of pain, He did so willingly because He knew of the future joy it would bring. The pain our Lord suffered mended the relationship between us and the Father.

I know for a fact that giving hurts at times. But the joy your giving brings to the person you gave for should totally be a blessing to you. Im going to leave you with one challenge. As you sit around the Christmas tree opening gifts, watch your family and friends open the presents that you bought them. Check out the smile on their face. Is it not more blessed to give than to receive?

I know i probably sound like a hypocirte. i have a problem with this too. im trying also

Anyways.I have another youth banquet tonight. This one wont be quite as fun because i dont get to dress up funny. Speaking of that. haha i forgot to bring my camera last night..so youlll all have to suffer by not seeing me in my costume.

But i have to go.

It's our youth christmas party, and for some reason we have to dress up as something. so im just making a car out of a cardboard box and putting on a cape and a BK crown.

Well today is just the dumps too
my grandpa died. and everything and everyone is just stressful and i just need to get away from it all. i can hardly think straight things are just...i dunno extremly overwhelming,
not just my grandpa..sadly thats the least of my problems its just stressful being around people that are stressed and its gonna be worse when my parents get home because my mom took this hard. and schools just frustrating
its like a line on a song how i totaly feel it says " i bet you build me up this high so i can crash a little harder" i feel everytime i get happy and good again. something just has to come along and things start slipping and i hit rock bottom..every time. and im sick of it
but my self worth is still down the drain but better than yesterday. Kim said something on haileys blog that kinda changed my veiw on things
she said she heard a quote and it was like.."Change the way you see, not the way you look."

gah sorry if this post confused you, everythings jumbled up in my head and thats kinda what came out.
i got my net back though so ill post more often
god bless

Today sucks.

sorry for not posting for a while. i dont have the internet at home at the moment
but yeah the morning went super slow. we decorated the first class and then we had math and french.. that speaks for itself and when i got home my dad was on the phone and he was crying and he got off and said my grandpa wasnt doing too good and he wouldnt last the rest of the day. on the weekend my grandpa went to the hospital because he had pnumonia then a little later he had a mini stroke. then all of a sudden all his vital organs shut down. So my parents rushed to lloyd to catch him before he..well died. and they left me and scott at home.
already i kinda felt of him as a bigger brother for the first time. he actually i dunno how to explain it but yeah. Me and him are going to set up the tree tonight and stuff so in a way its good but i just dont like seeing everyone sad so i dont wanna go up there later. but whatever.
my self worth is kinda low too.. but im in I.P and i already almost got caught...sooo i better go see yah.
