Shopping, Chicken, and Long Lost Friends

today was an awesome day, after coming home from church my mom and I immediately went on a shopping excursion which led to me (spoiled alert) getting, cool new hippie converses, a cute paisley purse, and a Body Victoria Secrets bra. Then my mom and I beat the weather and ate at Stir Crazy, where we ordered two amazingly delicious appetizers (ahi tuna, and crab cakes) and for dessert we had a beautiful mango creme brule.
As you might have noticed I skipped the main course and that is because we had ordered a tofu Pad Thai, but instead we got a chicken Pad Thai. So yes, after 2 years of being a vegetarian, today I ate chicken. Yes I noticed that the tofu was a bit weird, and I caught on after like my 5th bite. I was so mad. We told the server that we didn't order chicken, and he was like I assumed you wanted it. And then proceeded to charge us for it.
But what finished the meal on a high was that as I walking out the door I saw a friend that I had not seen in 5years. A friend that was family, that in high school I was at their house more than my own. I got his new number and his sisters, because his sister was my best friend for 5 years.
I have to say that even though I desecrated my veggietood, today was an awesome day. Yes, I kn ow chickens every where are cursing my name (sorry beakys) but today was a God loved day!!

He is everywhere

My Mom sent me this e-mail last week. I love these hidden picture things. And this one is just beautiful. I love how it portrays as Jesus being in nature watching over us, and if maybe, just maybe, we look for Him in it we can see Him. Can You see Him?

A Personal Revival

So lately I have noticed a depletion in my awareness for God. I feel like I haven't really talked to Him, or stop to feel His presence at all in the past few weeks. So since I don't have to nanny this week, I am fully committing my week to my own personal revival. I have a list of plans to do this week to help rekindle my passion and attention to Christ.

~I borrowed a Don Miller Small Group DVD
*Study the study guide
* Watch the DVD
~Jen Williams let me borrow her Passion 08 CD
* Listening to it while I clean
~Finally finishing Don Miller's "Searching For God Knows What"
~Buying "God on a Harley" because its the book a book study that Nikki Terry is starting for girls at Starbucks in July
~Take long walks with me and my Jesus
~Finally listen to all the podcasts I have downloaded
*FRC pod casts
*Rob Bell
*Louie Giglio
*Don Miller

I know God will reveal more ways that He wants to get closer to me, as long as I am faithful to get in touch with Him. So pray that I stay on course, and truly stop to listen when and where God talks to me.

Word of the Day

On my iGoogle I have a couple of what I think are interesting applications (im a geek). One of the applications is Word of the Day and today's word of the day is:


centromere
(noun) The most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis.

Um... when am I going to use this word in a sentence? "Wow there are so many people at the mall today, now I know what a centromere feels like." or "My closet has so many clothes packed into its like a centomere. I think I even see some spindle fiber coming out."

Yeah, no. I might be weird, and say weird things, but I can assure you iGoogle that this is not a word that will be said in my day.

Bring on the Pain, if only to Hear

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. ~ C.S. Lewis
