2 Peter 3!

2 Peter 3

Go read that. Now.

Randomly, I turned to that page in my bible. I know we have talked about that chapter recently, but it's amazing. Okay, the whole bible is amazing.. but still! I know all of you know this stuff I am blogging on already.. but I like typing my thoughts out. =]

Verse 8 -- My fantastical mind is still boggled at the fact that 2,000 years in only TWO DAYS to the Lord. Did you catch that? TWO DAYS!!!! That's like from today to Tuesday. Monday to Wednesday. I still cannot wrap my mind around that. 

Verse 9 -- But God is being patient with you. God is being patient with me? Are you kidding me? (Slap in the face.) I am one of the most impatient people in the world, and I think we all can be at some point in time, but God still is patient with us. Sigh of relief! Good thing. =D

Verse 6 -- I like reading backwards. Anyways, I thought of Sunday School! Yay, I was paying attention! Noah built an arkie-arkie. And the animals went in by twosies-twosies. (Thank you Beth and Kaeli!)

Verse 17 -- I always like to think, "Oh, this won't happen to me," about everything. As many times as I've read this lately (Be careful so you will not fall from your strong faith.), I realize that it can happen to me. It will. And it does. 

Looking back, which I try not to do very often, I can think of kids in the youth group when I first started going to FSCC that this has happened to, this falling away. I'm not judging anyone, so please don't take it that way. Some of them used to be close friends. I'm not saying that we (or I) have given up on them, but I see it happening to them. I can see myself very easily going down that same path. I know I do go down that same path. That happens to be "my path", to build up "my own kingdom', not God's. (Another slap in the face.)

I know that if it weren't for this close family of people I met a year and a halfish ago, I would still be going down my path. I wouldn't have people there to call me out when they notice I am more worried about my path rather than the Lord's. I am so thankful they are always there for me.

I am also thankful God is so patient. I know He never promised His path would be easy, and I think I like the challenge (in the long run at least.) Life would be dull if it was made out to be easy. 

Verse 18 --  Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the Glory. Note to self: Notice that doesn't say to Kaydee or Allah, or Budda, or anyone (or anything) else. And that it says grow in the grace and knowledge. We can continually grow, and shouldn't stop. I know I have thought I can put my "growing" on pause, and we shouldn't. I also know I have never experience as much growing as I did on Monday night on the missions trip, and I thought I could easily keep that fervor. You know as well as I do that it's not easy, so I don't know why I was crazy enough to think that.

Not so random of a thought: I am called into missions. I am not sure what that means exactly, but that's my calling. Monday night on the missions trip I realized this: Missions = Fervor.

I know this blog is random with a ton of random thoughts, but it gives you a lot to comment on! =] 

So do itttt.

Lessons Learned

Regret.

Somehow I always end up picking controversial topics to blog on. =]

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason."

I found this quote somewhere a little while ago and I definitely agree with it. I live my life without regrets. That doesn't mean I don't repent, or feel badly for the things I've done, but everything happens for a reason. These events, that some people might regret, have shaped who I am today. I have learned, or I am in the process of learning, from mistakes I have made. There are no regrets in life, just lessons. My life is far from perfect, but at least I can go to sleep every night knowing I live without regrets. At one point in time, everything I have done was exactly what I wanted, right or wrong. 

Let me know your thoughts on this. =]

"Comfort the disturbed, disturb the comfortable."

The title of this blog is officially my quote for the day. I think it speaks truths in so many different ways.  

Ready for this ADD moment.....

My youth pastor rocks. JJ is amazing. You should really check his blog.

Ok, ADD done. ( I didn't type that line up there ^^^ JJ did!)

Anyways. Today was a much better day than yesterday. I think it took until 10:30 to realize this, but it's all good. Right now I cannot WAIT to go to Philly. I know what you're thinking, this Kaydee chick doesn't know what she wants in life. I've got news for you: A ton can change in 24 hours. =] 

Today was quite a hectic day. After waking up late and starting a new nine weeks, our advanced theatre class HAD to kick it into high gear for our show tomorrow night. We are doing "A Night of One Acts" that is completely student directed. It goes on tomorrow night at OHS Theatre for 5$, so be there!!!! Luckily for Alyson and I, we are the directors. AH! In the end though, I am sure it will pay off. During the middle of second period today, Alyson realized we forgot the table we are using for one of the acts at the church. Dude, not cool man. I headed over there to pick it up in my nicely sized Rav4, and ended up spending a few hours there. 

Oh, how I love church. Seriously though. I was in the church messing with the trad bible up in the front and turned it to a different page, wondering if anyone would notice. I decided to read whatever my eyes randomly decided to look at. I know it is in Psalm, but that's as far as my memory serves me. After reading the first couple of verses, I knew God was giving me a swift kick in the butt! I don't know how else to describe it. It helped open my eyes to see things differently. The bigger picture. I know what the bigger picture is, it is always in the back of my mind, but I also know it can slowly fade away. I am glad God has placed people in my life that can help re-direct me on the right path, in the right direction. I am so thankful for moments like these. 

I know this post is really random. Hopefully after more of this addicting blogging, I will be able to focus on one idea for longer than a paragraph! =]

P.S. Please keep Project Philly in your thoughts and prayers. We are leaving in 30ish hours. I guess I have to pack tomorrow! Comment!
