Easter Saturday at the Boot Sale

  The first official fundraiser for Orphans Aid International by us was down at the Train Station Boot Sale today (Saturday). It was a good time and we made $100.80. Yay!
  Just spent the night watching two movies. Neither of which were very beneficial, but the second one was really funny. I was laughing the whole way through. We watched SALT first, and that was a bit sad. I don't like movies that don't leave room for a good ending... and I like non-Christian movies less and less these days. But there are a few acceptions where my worldly-self gets the better of me.
  Got Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) out from the video store. Cooked dinner... then went to put it on, HUGE crack in it. Couldn't play it (hence why we watched the other two movies that Dad had picked). A tad annoying, but I do pretty much know Pride and Prejudice by heart I have watched it so many times. One time, I watched it, and then I put it on right afterwards and watched it again. Not one of my better moments, but they don't call me the RE-Run Queen for nothing.
  Happy Easter whoever is reading this.

Listening to My Own Advice

  You know how it feels when you are inspired and you just want to get out there and do SOMETHING? Well... that is how I feel almost every day. I have been inspired, and that inspiration just keeps on coming. Even when I feel discouraged and have mood swings, etc, I still want to get out there and change the world.
  But I gave some advice to a girl today, and I feel that it is good advice. Now, I just have to start doing it myself.
  The advice was that prayer is so important. I already know that. But more than that, I told her that instead of just getting out there and trying to change the world, we should first of all pray and ask God exactly how He wants us to do this, how He wants to use us to bring change in the world, and what He wants us to do. Because when we just go out there and don't see what God really wants, then we like give out all we have and it doesn't really seem to change anything
  So what I said we should seek God's will first, and then once we know what He wants us to do... DO IT. Because when we are doing what God wants, then He will bless what we are doing. When we have gotten our instructions from God, we know what we are doing is what He wants and we don't have to be offended by what other people think, because we know. And we can have faith that He will bring out the best.
  So... I am going to do this. Keep me accountable.
