I really don't know what to blog about tonight, I have so much on my mind that it is all kind of stuck up there and cannot come out.
I am SO very excited to get married! I cannot believe it is in like 2 weeks! Craziness. Also I think I am most excited to be done planning the wedding. I remember when Andy and I first got engaged everyone was like, "You are going to be so relieved when the wedding comes because the planning is so stressful" and I was like that is not going to happen, How could planning something so wonderful be stressful? I was, once again, wrong. I have not been stressed out at all until about 3 days ago. All of a sudden it hit me that I have so much to do and so little time to do it. Why do we do this to ourselves? Wait until very last minute even though I have known about most of these things for awhile? Why why why?  I don't want to be one of those people that do everything super super in advanced because that doesn't work out either.

I feel like I can't write right now. Why is it that the moment that I need to drain my thoughts the most they get all stuck up there? I wish someone invented a giant vacuum(It took my 30 times to spell that right) that could just suck out all of our thoughts when they get stuck up there.

I love Jack Johnson

I am a little scared to move to Colorado. But I know God has a plan and that is an awesome comfort. God is so flippen cool!

Random Tangent- I am listening to Pandora and I was listening to my Relient K station and Dark Blue by Jacks Mannequin came on and it 1. Made me confused because I do not really see too much of a connection between the 2 bands. 2. Made me think about Justin because he thinks that it is a really good song...because it is.


I  am glad you all let me waste 15 minutes of your life

No Condemnation in Christ

"Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"

Romans 8:1

I have read this verse 1000 million times but I don't think I ever really comprehended it. It seems as though it is a simple concept. Those who have Christ in their heart have no condemnation for their sins. But for some reason every time I screw up I forget that fact. All I think about is how I cannot possibly forgive myself and if I can't forgive myself how could God? Then I heard these 2 sermons today on John chapter 8 verses 1 through 11. One by Dave at church and the other by Clayton King.
" But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"  They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either Go From now on sin no more."

This is absolutely awesome. Here is this woman. Absolutely humiliated in front of most likely hundreds of people in this temple thinking that she is just about to die  and bam there comes Jesus. We could seriously replace any person that had ever sinned(which would be everyone) and we would all deserve the same punishment she did. But here comes Jesus and covered our sins. We don't have to hold on to them because  Jesus covered them. And it is not like I did not know all of these things. But it was getting over them myself that was the problem. But tonight I realized that if the God that I know and believe in, the same one that created the universe, if He can forgive my sins and send his Son Jesus to die for them. I can get over it to. I love the weight lifted off my shoulders when I give something up to God.

 

Winter

I hate winter

Good thing to remember

God is good. And in control

"But seek First His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."

Matthew 6:33-34

Nascar

My family is really into Nascar. So today, being the Daytona 500, the superbowl of Nascar, we had a small family gathering with lots of food and fun. Here are some pictures of the day. Now please keep in mind my Nikon is at Andy's so some of these are rather grainy and a little dark.

Oldies

I found all these pictures on my computer while I was uploading some new ones from today(which will be up here soon) and I thought I would share.

Blah

I love that Andy is blogging again. He is a fantastic writer. Seriously his blog makes mine look like a Kindergarten kid wrote it. Mostly because he is more creative, and has much better English skills.

It is fabulous. Check it out.
