To Listen

Today I was reading from Ecclesiastes 5 and sometimes just a simple phrase speak to my heart. With all the chaos around us we forget to listen. My day is filled with noise, but I don't need to be listening to the noise. I need to listen to the silence. He is still in the chaos, but He calls us to the silence to sit with Him. 

Ecclesiastes 5:1

"Draw near to listen"

Krispy Kreme Burger!

Who would have thought!!!! The one and only Bacon Krispy Kreme Burger! Instead of an original sesame seed bun, they put two grilled Krispy Kreme donuts. Would you try it???? I think I would. I am the weirdest eater ever!! 

Just when i thought the weather could get any worse. A BLIZZARD is coming. 

Good news. LOST starts tonight and Dairy Queen is opening!!! Its a good day despite the Blizzard, I will just get a Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard:) 

Um.......So just to let everyone know that today's weather here in Kankakee is crazy! it started out @ around 50 degrees and just before dinner time its going to hit a LOW 2 degrees. So all of you in Oklahoma enjoy the sunshine! I am freezing here in the Windy City. 

But I can't complain, at least I have a coat:) 

His Blessings

Last night I found out that I made the Spring Play!!! This means so much to me:) It is another confirmation that I am supposed to be here.  I believe that this is a blessing. He who shaped the stars and carved out the mountains took time to care for the desires of my heart. I am so psyched!! 

"delight yourself in the LORD and HE will give you the desires of you heart!"

-psalm 37.4

Frank Turek came to Olivet to speak this week, and I have to say what he spoke on really broadened my outlook on God and how I see Him. His book I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist derives from the though that there is actual proof that there is a God. He discussed with us how many scientist who have started out believing that there is no God actually discovered the proof of a supernatural creator. One of my favorite quotes from the discussion was "Yah, I believe in the Big Bang Theory, I just know who banged it!" He really just brought into perspective of how big God really is! I always believed that there was a God, but I had no idea that there is actual proof!! That amazing to me. I don't know maybe you already knew this, but I think it was pretty amazing. The last thing he shared with us was this story of a scientist who was an atheist; the scientist explained that throughout history so many scientists have tried to climb up the mountain of the explanation of creation, and when they have finally reached the last peak with torn up hands and loss of breath, they see theologians sitting in lounge chairs saying "we have been waiting for you." I just thought it all was very interesting. What do you think?

Political Views:)

So I was watching part of the debate last night and then I watched some of the recap this morning on the news. My roommate passed by and brought up a point. She said that she hates watching the debates becuase all they do is bring each other down just so they can be seen as the best candidate. I thought about what she said and from watching last nights debate I kind of agreed and disagreed with her at the same time. Yes, i think that both Obama and Clinton could have discussed more about their policies then eachothers faults, but isn't that politics? How else are we supposed to decide and distinguish the candidates without them explaining the differences. That is why they call it a debate. If every candidate just stuck with praising themselves and not pointing out the negatives of the others, how else supposed to know what they stand on and in turn what we really stand on? I don't know, Im not the best at politics but let me know what you think? Was it too personal or just politics?
