In His Hands

I give this day over to Christ.
For probably the past 22 years I've not been doing that and I think that is the source of really all my issues.
By thinking that I have control of the day, I am fooling myself into thinking that this life belongs to me; when in fact it does not.

I read Job last night and admittedly I chose it because i need a job so I figured maybe it could be some kind of representation or something.
Not so.
BUT I needed to read it nonetheless.
After I finished the first chapter I began to cry.
I felt almost convicted by Job's faithfulness in spite of all the terrible things that happened to him.
That's one of the great things about the Bible, though, is that no matter how many times I read it, I can find a different meaning or significance in the same passage.
So here's to being a Job.
I want that unfailing faithfulness to define my life.
I want God to look at me as a servant of God that would never cease to praise him despite any trials that come my way.

P.S. I just experienced incredible healing. My stomach was hurting MAJORLY so I laid hands on it and spoke healing over it in the name of Jesus and the pain went away instantly. I am so impressed with the power of God, always.

auld lang syne

I cannot believe it's already 2011. 2010 was really a great year for me. I grew so much, I learned so much and I achieved so much.
I graduated from college, performed in 2 plays and even was a lead in one of those.
Needless to say (well not necessary needless but...) I'm THANKFUL. so extremely thankful.

Here's a list I came up with on Twitter.
Things I learned in 2010:
1. I'd be completely fine if the only 3 channels my tv got were: Bravo, E! and TLC.
2. Being famous on YouTube is a legitimate career.
3. I'm not as good at parallel parking as I thought I was.
4. I don't like it when the cashier at the grocery store calls me Ms. Anderson.
5. I can't dance.
6. I'm really indecisive when it comes to the big things.
7. I am a reality TV junkie.
8. I forever will have to, some way, be involved with theatre.
9. My room doesn't stay clean for more than 3 days.
10. Cerebral Palsy is the sexiest of the palsy's.
11. My biggest pet peeve is when people are extremely flaky.
12. Student loans suck.
13. Boots make any outfit look like you actually tried.
14. Leggings = BLISS.
15. I hate when pregnant people wear bikinis. Naked pregnant bellies gross me out.
16. You can't party with a boyfriend.
17. Lame is not a word in the iPhone's auto-dictionary.
18. Andy Bernard (from The Office) is my dream man.
19. A year goes by way too fast.
20. I like meat with my champagne.

Also, I don't like making resolutions but here are some things i would like to start doing/accomplishing this year. It's an unfinished list but...

1. I want to start calling people sweetie or honey
2. I want to ACTUALLY pursue my dreams.
3. I want to move out of California.

Jesus.

Starting 2011 the right way.
