So, it all started when Mom started redecorating the bathroom. Yeah, I know, what an odd way to start a post, but bare with me, it gets better. No really, it does! Anyway, the word love really started to seem like it was out to get me when mom went to hobby lobby looking for ideas for the bathroom, since it needs a new coat of paint. She came back wit a blue/purple box with peace symbols and 'love' all over it, a wall hanging that said 'do what you love', and a small towel rack kinda thing in the same color scheme and covered in hearts. A few days previously, I was asked to serve on a Christian retreat kinda deal. I was thinking on it like, yeah, ok, I might give that a shot when I started daydreaming like I often do. In that, I was thinking along the lines of my giving the Christian Life talk. Then the love theme bathroom stuff came, and then the call to formally ask me to serve... and give the Christian Life talk, I said yes, and for reference this happened on Monday. Tuesday, I get the outline for my talk and a letter for the heads and professors. It said the theme was love. The retreat mom and dad work is love themed as well. All the bible verses I catch flying around the house are love themed. Several of the songs flying around are love themed. Can you blame me for thinking this one, simple, yet complex as the ocean, word is out to get me? Anyway, so today mom asked me if I was ready to life on purpose this year. I was like, um, ok. But then when I tried to open my e-sword, my computer went on the fritz. Ok, it was freaking out before that, but it was nearly 10:30 and I was starting to freak. Luckily, mom was able to sort it all out. Anyway, back to the whole 'living on purpose' thing. Part of the 'challenge' was to journal weekly. Not a big problem for a gal like me who loves to write, but I have a small problem with finding the right verses to read. So, just a few minutes before starting this post, I turned to biblegateway.com. I typed in the word 'love' and got one good verse... and a couple that might make me blush. Anyway, here is today's 'love' verse. I think I'm going to do month long challenges and do bible searches on a single word and post at least weekly on that word. Sound good? No? Too bad! I'm doing it! Anywho, here's my love verse for the day. Enjoy!
1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
So yeah. Love is important. I think I may just work my way through that chapter this month(meaning Febuary). Also, if you have another word you want me to pontificate on, let me know! I love comments :) Anyway, I've wasted enough time and I've still got a boatload of math to do. Crud! My history participation
project! And the one for English! I forgot about them AGAIN! Darn school, always cramping
my style(I don't plan on dropping out mind you. I'm just frustrated
Who wouldn't be?) Gah! stop typing!
Later gators!
Why do you think "love" is coming to your mind in February? IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY MONTH!!!! :D :D :D :D :D <3 Orrr, maybe it's a sign! A sign that you'll meet your true love this month! The man you'll ride off into the sunset with on a white horse and live happily ever after! :D Haha but seriously, that's awesome you've decided to pick a word to focus on every month. Love is a great one to begin with! After all, none of us would be here if it wasn't for love! Hehehe :) And speaking of love, are you and the boyfrah still together? Haha you probably broke up months ago, but how would I know? You never ever ever talk about him ;) Maybe you could go through the fruits of the spirit every month? I mean, the first one is love, and you've already got that! Joy, peace, patience, etc. Oh btw, 'pontificate' means to officiate as bishop in the Catholic church, hahaha. Well, I guess I should be getting on my basic writing homework...blahhhhhhhhh.....
ReplyDeleteFeel your pain on writing homework. I know, sounds weirs coming from a gal like me, but it's true. Presentation, re-writing an old paper, reading three chapters of 'Silas Marner', and an editing exceirse, all due on the 11th. Also, I basically meant that i'd be rambling about the word when i said 'pontificate,' just so you know, but thanks for setting me straight. Also, I haven't seen J since I quit NHS. Anyway, I kinda forgot about Valentine's Day. Again, coinsadence? I think not! (Speelin gone finsihng, be back l8ter)
