Hurray!!!
I changed the template on this site!!!! FINALLY!!! I couldn't do it!! I had to delete alot of stuff. Nothing was working out for me!! But I did it!!! All by my self. I guess that MSE class that I took came in handy!! My page didn't look all that great.
I also customized my other site. Ofcourse that one was WAY EASIER!! Because it has simple step by step procedures. If I clicked on help for this one it would log me out and do all this bunch of crazy stuff. Now all that is left is music. YUP I am going to add music to this site. I will probably work on that tomorrow, but for now, I am going home.
SEE YA!!

Well,
My mom called a couple of travel agencies to see who could give us a better price to fly over to Mexico. We got a good deal with Delta because exactly two people cancelled thier flight and we took those slots. So our tickets are going to cost $356 per ticket--round trip and no stops. Isn't that cool? Other places offered us tickets that cost close to $500 and not tax included. Wow, God really blessed us with this.
We are leaving Sunday, June 29, 2003 and coming back on July 22, 2003. Hopefully I could get a hold of a computer and the internet so that I can continue to write about my "adventure" over there. I know that I have a lot to learn and that I will learn lots of things overthere.
I hope that when I'm over there I can rest from all of the drama that is here and all of the stress and anxiety that I have with people here. I hope that people here won't do anything to ruin my trip--like hurt my family that I will be leaving here, or break my keyboard. Maybe I should take it home. I should, I am. Yeah, I don't want to take any chances.
My Goodness, I'm already missing my people!!!! What will my little sister do if someone bothers her? What will my little brother do? Will my dad and my older brother take GOOD care of them? I hope so.
Man!!! I wanted to leave without any stress and all I'm doing is putting more on my back. Ok I'll stop. I wont think about it anymore.
God please take care of them--all of them.

Prayer for Devine Correction
Dear God:
What I need from you today is mercy. I humbly ask for you to have mrecy on me!
Have mercy on me, not only for all of the unkind, unloving things I have done, but for all of the unkind, unloving things I have thought about doing.
Have mercy on me for all of the mean and nasty things I have said about myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being intolerant and impatient with myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being crtical and judgemental of myself and others.
Have mercy on me for allowing fear to caues me to act impulsively, causing pain to myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being motivated by greed, taking more that I need, then wasting it.
Have mercy on me for not telling myself and others the truth about what I feel and then being angry when I am asked to do things that I am unwilling, not ready or too tired to do.
Have mercy on me for not asking for what I need and then being angry when I don't get it.
Have mercy on me for being ungrateful for all that I have recieved.
Have mercy on me when I am comparing myself to others and being angry at them for doing what I have not done, for receiving what I have not asked for.
Have mercy on me for being afraid of doing the wrong thing in the wrong way and then blaming other people for what I have not done.
Have mercy on me when I am being arguementative.
Have mercy on me when I am whining and complaining to others about myself, or to myself about others.
Today, God, I need your mercy!
I acknowledge that by myself I can do nothing! It is only through the power of your mercy and grace that my thoughts, words and actions will be changed.
For the change that is taking place within me right now, I am so grateful.

Welcome
In this entry, I will be discussing what happened Sunday. To read about Saturday, go to my other web site. Thank you.
Father's day weekend brought about alot of anxiety in my life.
On Sunday, the people I thought I could trust turned thier backs on me. I'm a Christian, and as a Christian it is my responsibility to pull a person aside and speak to him/her about a certain sin that they have committed. I did just this and the girl I spoke to was serious about it. We were interrupted and before I knew it, she came back and thanked me for the advice that I had given her. However, she threw it all in my face when she told me that she had also heard that I had done something of the sort. I told her that what I had done was a long time ago. I also told her not to use it as an excuse to try to justify what she did. What was she trying to say? I should've stayed quite to see what dumb excuse she could come up with to justify her doing what she did. How can one judge a person based on what he/she was or did in the past? If you are new person in Christ, why should it matter what you did in the past? I mean, If you were a drunk, whould you be judged in your clean present self as a drunk? I don't think so. Apparently she didn't understand this and kept ravelling on trying to make up an excuse for what she did.
Another thing, the bible says that the first time you speak to a person, you should pull him/her aside and speak to them privately, one-on-one. If she had really taken the advice like she said, she wouldn't go telling anyone about the conversation but she would have kept it for herself. Instead she went to tell her friends and that is when everything started. Apparently, they think that I am conceited and that I am too "spirital" to hang out with them............
That is totally not true. Just because I did something the bible tells me to do doesn't mean that it is bad. She threw it back by having the others critizice me for what I told her. Afterwards, I heard from a friend that the main head of the girls, (you know, the one all the girls want to hang around with and be like) talked to one of the elders of what I had done. I didn't do anything wrong though. I did what the bible and God told me to do. And to tell you the truth, I didn't want to because I knew that this was going to happen. But I have to do what God tells me to do. So I did it and they made such a big deal about it. But you know what? They can't do anything because I know for certain that God has my back. And I bet that the elder told the head of the girls that I did the right thing. She cannot justify her little friends' action with something I did a long time ago. She just can't because that is the past, and this is the present. They know me for who I am today.
So there is a battle won, but there is still more to come. Why are they trying to fight the Word of God? Why? Can't they understand that what I did isn't bad? That for me, it is not about competition? Why do they dislike me? Because I'm a musician? Because I sing? Because I hold a leadership position in church? It isn't me, I did not ask for it. God just gave it to me. Why don't they understand that?
God help me.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Help me to endure..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
All the pain.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
All the trials..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
And all the hatred that, not the people have against me, but the hatred that the devil puts in them..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
