School is the death of crafty :0(

I am so ready to be done with this semester of school! I feel like I never have time to be crafty for the fun of it! There is always something due, to go to, or a house to be clean! So I am counting down the days till I can once again spend the day in a colorful sea of materials :0)

Ive overcome you world.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with this world. So frustrated with "Church." They just dont get it. Sometimes I feel like people forget the God, that we serve or "pretend" to serve. We act like the bible is just a bed time story. "Oh, dont you know that Jesus died for me and you?" That is not a lie, but how can we act like its a fairytale? Jesus died for us, it was not fake, he really died for us!! I look at my nieces and nephews and I think, how, how could God do that? Knowing the pain that he would suffer. The way he would be treated. How? Its because he loves us. Because he knew it was the only way. I think its about time we stop going around acting like the world is going to last forever, and start living the life that God wants us to live. Start overcoming this world that has destined people for death, with the everlasting life that God offers. Really showing people the true love of God. Living to his standards, and stop pretending like we have it all figured out. We dont, I know I dont. But what I do know, is that God gives us grace. Even if we dont deserve it. So why dont we begin to show that same grace to this world.

In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
