My sister Ellen has become a "we." Oh my.. "We dont like that." We cant come." GAH! ;) but i love 'em.
Today I went to school! Tuesdays and Thursdays are my short days. I only have history and choir. But I did have a voice lesson and that was really nice. NOT. It was really hard actually. So many things to remember... GR. AND THEN I LEFT MY RECORDER IN THERE!!! Because i am a dork. Thankfully Andres went and rescued it for me before someone stole it.. that would have been extremely lame. Finals are coming up.. I am swamped. I should be reading a book right now.. am i am supposed to be writing a paper...
BUT OH MY THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK!!! The family is all going over to ivys, and our menu!!! Is totally amazing.. I am really looking forward to all that pie. even though i dont really like most pie.. But when it comes to Coconut cream IIIII am all over that. !! Ivy makes the most amazingly delicious coconut cream pie. :) And of course Buttermilk pie is a family fave. DELECTIBLE! This lunch is going to me so huge.. I either need to starve myself, or eat a ton beforehand. Im not sure which...
This year has gone by so fast. There have been so many hard and good things this year. And so many rewarding things. But even the hard things will work out eventually. And they will all just make you stronger and better. Gods will will always happen. Mrs Fuqua told me, "Holly god will always give you just the right amount of tools you need to acomplish his will." she is a smart woman.
I have been thinking a lot about resting in Christ lately. Most likely because in church my pastor was going over the sabbath, and how it should be. But let me just pick your over worked under rested brains a bit. "Come to me all who are weary laden and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." In Genesis when God was creating the world and then he rested on the 7th day it never says, "and it was evening and morning a 7th day." this symbolizes that the "rest" with Christ is eternal; it goes on forever if you are a christian. God did not work again until man sinned. The picture is that God got back up, rolled up his sleeves, and began to work again. Because after we sinned there we things to do; we needed God. And he worked for us and is continuing to work for us everyday. The whole idea of the "Sabbath" was FOR man. Because after the fall man needed rest. And the thing is, we are supposed to be resting in christ. "Casting all our burdens on him." And in our rest we are supposed to meditate and contemplate about God and all he has done for us. It is such and intriguing thought.
"Come all you weary with your heavy loads
Lay down your burdens find rest for your souls
Cause my yoke is easy and my burden is kind
I’ll take yours upon me and you can take mine
Come all you weary move through the earth
You've been spurned at fine restaurants and kicked out of church
Got a couple of loaves sit down at my feet
Lend me your ears and we'll break bread and eat
Come all you weary
Come gather round near me
Find rest for your souls
Come all you weary, you cripples you lame
I’ll help you along you can lay down your canes
We’ve got a long way to go but we’ll travel as friends
The lights growing bright further on further in
Come all you weary
Come gather round near me
Find rest for your souls."
Just thinking
Love always
Holly
p.s... I love how totally random my titles are.
