| In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Free me from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth. Psalm 31:1-5
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a grament of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:1-3 |

| Psalm 73
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. |

| On this momentous occasion, I only have one thing to say...

| 1 Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them"-
Ecclesiates 12:1 |

| ladeeda... only sixteen more minutes until i can leave this office and go to lunch.... i'm SO hungry.. hm... ah yes.. patience is a virtue. anyways, i'm sitting here at work, wearing a shirt that defines my character to a T. haha, not really. it would be so sad if my character could actually be summed up by something so shallow and insignificant as that. anyways... CTY will soon be over, and then i'll be home for three short weeks before heading off to college. hmm.. it's been awhile since i've written anything in here that's been longer than a few sentences. i think the xanga blog craze of a year or so ago has died out among the people of my generation.... oh hey guess what.. it's lunchtime, gotta go  |
