Good afternoon world... Just got my sitemap 'approved' 2 hours ago... I've been spending that time doing up the main look of the site. Feels good to be doing something productive after 2 days of slacking. Listened to Ignite yesterday... Helped them rip a few songs on to mp3. Most of the songs were nice but some were a bit jarring. I love 'feels like home'. Very very soothing!!!

I'm getting better at this. I can almost imagine what the finished product will look like. But then again, I never cease to be amazed by what He can do. Its a challenge everyday to continue trying to live my life the way I should. Trying to please Him with everything I do. And then fighting the temptation to feel depressed whenever I fail. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the strength to go on, but then I'm reminded that He provides the strength. All I have to do is KEEP TRYING!

What in the world for? Nothing is going to change His love!
I dunno... Its like wanting to please the one you love. Wanting to give something that I think is of worth, but has no value to Him. Like a little child asking his father for money so that he can buy something to give to him. Its not how much the gift is. He enjoys the fact that we try. And he will freely give to see us try to please Him. This is what keeps me going. The fact that He's pleased with my efforts.

::: Lyric of the Day :::
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
