Beloved daughter

We're absolutely pathetic and God is amazingly and indescribably great. Let's get that established first of all. Okay, now that we have that, I have a cool thought for you. We are pathetic and we don't even deserve to be the lowest servant for God. It would be a privilege to scrub the floors in God's house if he lived in an actual house. But, we aren't the lowliest servant, we are His beloved daughter. You are His beloved, His beautiful one, His daughter. That's how great His love is. When you look in the mirror, don't just see those freckles or that stomach that isn't quite flat or that huge zits on your chin (contrary to popular believe it's not the end of the world, I know, I just had one on my chin), see yourself how God sees you. You are His beloved daughter and He thinks that you have beauty beyond compare. Who else's opinion could ever possibly matter? And while we're thinking those good thoughts, listen to the song "Mirror" by BarlowGirl and read "God called a Girl" by Shannon Kubiak. Get to it!! And dab a little concealer on that zit and it will disappear.

Amazing Grace review

Amazing Grace is the story of William Wilberforce and his struggle to abolish the slave trade in Great Britain in the 17-1800s. Ioan Gruffudd (of Fantastic Four fame) does a superb job as William Wilberforce. The acting is this movie is good and the cinematography is excellent. The dialogue is witty and well written and the costumes are good and (as far as I can tell) very authentic looking. This movie is very interesting and the story captures your attention. The moment when Parliament declares the slave trade to be abolished is one movie moment that will stay with me for a very long time. The movie would have the potential to be boring as there is no action and a lot of it is set in the house of commons (A.K.A the parliament building). It actually turns out to be pretty captivating because of the dialogue and rather dramatic arguments among delegates. The downside to this film is the language. There are many uses of the English meaning of the word bloody and and several uses of the word arse in reference to someones rear end (I didn't find this offensive, but some might). This isn't the most kid friendly movie ever, as it does deal with the issue of slavery. All in all this exceptional movie gets five stars out of five.

You Carried Me-Building 429

I love this song. God has carried us through so much. Let's take a moment to thank Him, because in our low points when we may have thought He abandoned us, He didn't; He carried us.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

2 Chronicles 7:14

2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble them selves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Could we all just do this.
