aiyoooooo emo! i thought how haley and nathan got married in a night was a little -_____-.
but okay.

hahah i watched harry potter yesterday. FINALLY. but its a pretty bad show, so.

desiree's birthday dinner yesterday too, so happy birthday des! (:

managed to drag thea rahmen out of the house, and while we were sitting at starbucks, i shared my newfound thoughts (or rather my newfound lessons from pastor mitch hehe) on psalm1 with her.

"Blessed is the man who
walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of the scornful." -psalm1:1

look at the progression throughout the verse.

firstly,
1. walks
2. stands
3. sits

when you start getting to know someone, first you walk with the person. when youre more comfortable, you stand with the person. when youre really close, you sit with the person.

secondly,
1. counsel
2. path
3. seat

you start by taking the persons advice, then you begin walking in the footsteps of that person. finally, you become that person.

thirdly,
1. ungodly
2. sinner
3. scornful

ungodly - those you ignore the ways of God
sinner - those who sin against God
scornful - those who scorn God.

if you look at the verse in its entirety, its telling you that influence is a progressive thing. blessed is the man who does not do these things. i never saw the depth of this verse ever before, and thats just verse one of psalm one. (:

"His delight is in the law of the Lord
and in His law he meditates day and night." -psalm1:2

our meditation on the Lord's Word should be natural. as natural as day leads to night and night today. but thea and i concluded (and i think most of us would agree.), because of sin, its not. we are not meditative people. we're all in for the quick fix. nobody has time to sit and think. nobody has time to breathe cos we're always rushing from place to place. nobody has time to meditate. but meditation is a cultivated response, i think. and maybe one day i'll find real, true DELIGHT in meditation. something we all need to work on. ah well.

if, my dear friends, you have skipped the entire section above cos its too boring for you, PLEASE FORCE YOURSELF TO READ IT. especially bl. ahhahahah.

anw, some thoughts ive been having of late. ive decided i need to start listening out for His will for me. and stop listening to what people tell me. cos most of the time, people dont know what they're talking about. haha. i am going to be more selective about listening to advice. and yes, trust the Lord He knows whats best.
