"I miss you, but I don't have to see you."
=)
Amen to that. lol.
I like how our relationship is so.... simple, honest, and understanding.
No bad feelings, no drama, no need to feel guilty, no feeling tied down, no obligations... just plain... downright, sweet honesty.
- i love him. ^_^
"My sins, my sins, my Saviour,
How sad on Thee they fall."
I have always been broken. Always. I'm so wicked at times to seek forgiveness in times I am only sorry for sins. I have been in darkness in this thinking. I am not forgiven for being sorry. I am forgiven, period, by the blood of the Son of God. I have always been broken. Sorrow works repentance; not all the remorse in the world, combined, could come close to His forgiveness and forgetting. It lies simply in acceptance... "against thee, thee, only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight." (Psalm 51:4) To continue to do the acts after repentance is to not truly realize forgiveness, for repentance is a gift of God and is shown in a person by proving His holiness, the opposite of what was before.
I've forgot the meaning of repentance, the virtue. To be in sin, is to be surrounded by darkness that progressively blinds us. To sin, is to choose to not love Him. The revelation tonight is, immense, a gift from God. Only Him, who loves me, would reel me back into His righteousness. Only Him, who loves me, would forgive and forget by the Death of Jesus Christ. Only Him, who loves me, would restore unto me the joy of my salvation.
Take it all God. I'm done with this boulder of sin destructing my view of the precious Cross. I realize my wrong, my brokenness, and I thank you Father for your mercy, according to your lovingkindness. Create in me a clean heart.
I pray to prove my forgiveness by my faith in You Lord.
God. Your lovingkindess is better than this life. I have always been broken.
(Psalm 51:8)
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

I am a fan of "eggs in a basket."
This is crazy good. I'm never having toast and eggs any other way.
Just cookie-cut little circles out of your toast and fry the egg in the hole. Use butter and flip. It's like a hybrid french toast. =)
I love how my grandparents' house looks during the winter.
I love my family... and how cultural our Thanksgiving was. lol. Thanks God, you're the best.
Thanks to Emeril for the amazing recipe. Don't get it twisted. It was goooood. =) Rabbit is what's up.
I completely have true appreciation for the entire process, from boyfriend coming in with shot-up rabbits, to skinning, to gutting, to deboning, and to genuine rustic cooking. With every bite, I just kept thinking... "wow, we're living off the land." =) It's a good feeling, can't exactly put it into words, but it's something like inner joy.
Dominion over the earth. =)
nite. -mc

*acutally. it's glorifying God. but this is a close second. =)
- As I prayed to know God's sovereignty, last week I woke up unable to breathe. My brother rushed me to the ER, speeding through lights... afraid for my life. On the way, breathing through a paperbag... fearful and praying to God... I felt as if my breath smothered, chest pains, and impending death. Though... I realized halfway to the hospital... that I was at peace if this was God's will. I never felt so spiritually awake... to know I had heaven waiting after this life, blessed assurance to be with the One who loves me most. I thanked God for showing me His sovereignty and I prayed not my will, but His will. At Providence, I got hooked up to an EKG.. and was diagnosed with a Panic Attack. =) I felt ridiculous as the doctor asked me if I had a "bad dream" that may have onsetted it, but also thankful that God had taught me something valuable spiritually. I shared with my brother and cousin the peace I felt... I thank God for that opportunity.
- I brought my brother to the ER the past week as well. All is well, praise God. God gave us the time to talk about spiritual things. As we waited for the doctor and ultrasound... my brother turned to me and said, "Ate.. can you pray for me?" =) Afterward, he asked me questions about the bible and we discussed all sorts of biblical topics. When the nurse aid came in to ask him his religious beliefs: "christian or catholic?"... my brother looked at me and said... "Christian." (Thank you God.)
- My dad referenced Genesis, the story of Cain and Able, the other day. He enlightened me about the care between siblings, applying it to modern times; how Cain was, in fact, his "brother's keeper." I was so humbled and happy... me and my dad talking about the bible. & today.. My dad told me to remember chapter 6 of Ephesians. =) So awesome.
- On Friday, God provided the opportunity for my two girl cousins to willingly come to evening service. Praise God, it was a strong salvation message too. =)
- I've been attending a Women's small group. We're currently doing a transformation course (The Miracle of Life Change), and it's been a huge blessing having encouragement from these women, and growing alongside of them. It's an answered prayer.
- Looking back, I remember around the same time last year. We started a bible study at the dorms at UAA. From our small group there, three have claimed the Lord Jesus as their savior (that I know of), and those three have also been baptized and following Christ. =) God IS AWESOME.
