Run, Katie, Run!

I must be patient and kind. I must not envy, I must not boast. I must not be proud. I am not rude, I am not self-seeking, I am not easily angered. I will keep no record of wrongs. I do not delight in evil, but I rejoice with the truth. I must always protect, always trust, and always hope. God will help me to ALWAYS persevere. I must do all these things because I am a servant, a follower, a child, a friend of God, and God is Love. Even if I become the ultimate super-Christian, but have not Love, than I become nothing. If I desire God and let him teach me to love, than I can become the woman that god made me to be.

All my relationships should spur me on towards God. They must bring out the Love in me that is patient and kind. My relationships should not cause me to envy or boast. They will steer me away from pride and from selfish thoughts. My relationships will not be about me. They will help me to be a classy young lady. In my relationships, I will keep no record of wrongs. I won’t delight in evil, and no one will cause me to delight in evil. I will NOT let my friends make evil seem attractive to me. When I am with my friends, we will rejoice in the Truth. We will protect each other, we will trust each other, and never be cynical with each other. We will spur each other towards God and help each other in our faith walks. I will never leave a friend out of hatred. All my relationships must be full of Grace and full of Love, or else they will get me nowhere. I must do all I can to demonstrate love to everyone I meet, or else why meet them? A relationship that brings out the bad qualities in me is not worth my time. I want to become the woman that God created me to be.

I love God because God is patient, God is kind. God does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud. God is not rude, he is not self-seeking, he is not easily angered. He keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the Truth! God IS protection. God always protects, and he WILL protect. He is a trusting God, and he will help me learn to trust him, because there has never been anyone in the world who is more deserving of my trust. God is my only hope, and without him I have nothing. God was in the beginning. And God is in the end. God goes past the beginning and the end, and he never changes (James 1:17). I can try to do everything a Christian does, I can do a million good deeds, I could hug a puppy, I could try to be the ultimate good person, but without God I will fail, and none of it would be right. God is Love.

I need Love. I need God.

I love him, but he loved me first. I love him because he loved me first. I love him for who he is, and I love him for what he’s done for me. I love him because he is there for me to love. I love him because he is the only one who can help me become the woman I was created to be.

• I saw a very good looking guy (and I said VERY good looking!) who looked like Emaich but with amazing long hair. He talked with a lisp, but that was okay. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything clever to say to him. So I didn't.
  



• Well, it's a lot better than not having anything clever to say, but saying it anyway. Trust me.



• I amused myself for 30 min, timing my watch with the flashes on my meteronome.



• I amused myself for 2o min staring at my name backwards in a mirror.
• I drew a face on a roll of toilet paper.
• I saw Gavin. I said, "Hi."



• The door to the room for my theory class was confusing. People kept trying to pull it open while people inside the room kept yelling "PUSH! PUSH!" which only brings one question to mind: "Where's the father?"
