Catch Up!

Well its been a while so I thought I should give an update!

Well first off I would like to say that Sunday was awesome service! It was agape Sunday and we do communion. We do this to focus on God's son, our Saviour, Jesus of Nazareth! We (or pastor) have been doing a series in Hebrew and he was able to glorify our High Priest while continuing his series! I shall get a copy of his sermon!

About a week ago i got my bridesmaid gown! Its nice but too big! So, I hope I can get alterations for my dress!

So anyways I have the next two days off so I hope I get some stuff done! I think I got everything in! Oh there is one more thing...

Yesterday I went to a thing with Barb and Mel. It was for engaged couples who wants a voucher for a free two night three day hotel accommodations. The catch was u had to sit in a lecture from a guy selling pots and pans. Well, I'll tell you these pots and pans were awesome! The best Ive ever seen (honestly, the best) the bum thing is its very expensive. The guy says it pays out in the end anyhow! Well of course i didn't get a set (1200 dollars) but if i were getting married I probably would have! So, Barb got her voucher and the guy cooked some food it was deliciously simple! After, the lecture we all went to this chocolate shop owned by a guy named Daniel. This guy has been all over the world finding ingredients and such for his chocolates. It was a pretty cool experience. We got a couple of chocolates, one was called "Rockford" it had some interesting stuff in it really good! Another called "intrigue" it has some Celtic sea salt in it along with other stuff, really interesting and good! I also tried one that had chili pepper in it, yum! This was an interesting and fun experience. One other thing a girl was working there for him and we were all talking (she liked to talk!) and we kind of made plans to meet up! I think she was looking for some Christian friends to hang out with! So all in all it was pretty nice. I hope we all can encourage this girl, Jordan, in her faith and friendship!

Feat of the Day

So today church was canceled on behalf of the weather! I sat here thinking what should I do! Lord knows that i have tons of stuff to accomplish! I finally came to a conclusion that I should be studying the Bible, God's word. If i were in church thats what i would be doing, right? So I formulated a question I have had in the back of my mind for some time, gathered my books, and sat down to start my study! It took some time but I have found a suitable answer! Boy oh Boy! Am I excited! I thought this was a huge accomplishment and a prayer answered! Oh by the way I prayed before starting my studying!

My question was this:
"Whom are the "chosen" or the "elected" people or the question was more of why are some chosen and some are not?"

After much thought and reading I have formulated an answer (hopefully understandable):
"Those who truly believe are the chosen, alas many believe but still will not humble and/or submit themselves to God."

Okay, so maybe I have some more work to do with this question. Right now it seems really good start. The verse that really helped and baffled me at the same time is: Matthew 22:14
"Many are called but few are chosen"

Called Off

So tonight I didn't go to work. There is a severe weather alert out here. My roommate, Karyn, wanted me to call my store to check in with to see what I should do! So I talked to my manager, Patrick, he said for me to stay home. It is bad out there the plow has not come through yet! So I'm home, just finished watching the first season and second disc of NCIS! Church tomorrow has also been canceled. Pastor Bixby called Karyn to inform her of the cancellation he was concerned that those member that live out a ways will try come to service just because he is there. So...maybe us girls will have a little session of our own!
