Built them UP

Some good verses I happened to stumble upon today.... 4:29 is a good one for athletes to use during practice and games... BUILD OTHERS UP! Ephesians 4:22-24 You were taught, with reguard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its decietful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in ture righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:31-5:2 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Follow God's example, therfore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:15-17 Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand was the Lord's will is.

Here We Go

This blog is for myself. Being an full-time athlete, sometimes its hard to be a normal teenager much less a Christian. All my frustrations and victories will go down right here. Let's see how far my path goes... Well today I actually had a day off! Can you believe it?? I tried to catch up on some homework, but with little success. Most of my day was spent sleeping and watching TV, which I never get to do anymore. One bad thing about my always playing sports is that I isolate myself and never hang out with my friends. My "friends" at school aren't at all athletic... its either them or the sluts, so I guess thats why I'm friends with them. I also don't have a boyfriend. I would like one, but I just don't think right now is the time. I am always busy and maybe God just doesn't think it is neccessary for me. My ankle was cleated about a week ago and it is swollen like a golf ball and (as if my feet weren't gross enough) all the fluid and blood from bruising went down to my foot. So my foot is swollen and bruised at the bottom... its very unattractive. Currently my school team is in the sweet 16 state playoffs and club practice starts up again tomorrow!
