Monday the 31th...

Happy Halloween!! I didn't have to work today which was great and I got to go to MNBS, where we all dressed up, played games and just hung out. It was a lot of fun. Those are my friends... Gotta Love em!

What I read Numbers 2....

So, when I was a kid, I used to think of all the people that were Israelites, that they were a cute little farming town not a amazing amount of people. It makes the old Bible story that much more amazing! Here is the number of all the men, that was just the men, we're not even including all the women of the nation...

³² These are the Israelites, counted according to their families. All the men in the camps, by their divisions, number 603,550. ³³ The Levites, however, were not counted along with the other Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.

That the Lord delivered just 100 people through the water would have been amazing. But since he sent them with more than just this amount of people is pretty outstanding. What an amazing God we serve that he can do such wondrous works!

Good Night and God Bless!!

Randolph Airshow! (118)

Sunday the 30th...

I went to church and then after I went with my sophomore girls and the other leader TP. We had a lot of fun seeing all of the airplanes and just spending time together. After the Airshow I went to help set up for the halloween party at the S's House. It was fun, the pumpkins look awesome! Overall, a really fun day!

What I read Numbers 1...

I think this is interesting the intense amount of pressure put upon the Levites and not only that, but the vast amount of responsibility that was given to the Levites.

⁵⁰ Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant law—over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it. ⁵¹Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death. ⁵²The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard. ⁵³ The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.”

⁵⁴ The Israelites did all this just as the LORD commanded Moses.

As you can see the Levites did just as they were told, they did not murmur about all they had to do or that no one else had the same responsibility. To who much is given much is required... I am not entirely sure where that quote came from. But I believe that it is very true. The Levites were allowed into the presence of God. They were required to keep the commandments, and to make atonement for all of Israel. I don't know if all that was required or given to me. I'm not entirely sure that I would be able to live up to all the requirements places upon me.

Good Night and God Bless!!

She remembered my SMILE (117)

Saturday the 29th...

Today I woke up at 0430 like I have all week. My stupid bladder work me up. After relieving myself I went back to sleep and was able to sleep 3 more hours, I had fallen asleep with the light on last night after going to see the movie with TF last night. We had a ton of fun. When I woke up the next time I decided to get up. I took a shower and got ready for the day. I went to an event for the Sophia group I am in on Sunday mornings. We had a pumpkin lunch, learned a few new recipes and had a lot of fun, getting to know some of the women a little better. It is so fun to get to know people on a more personal level, because you finally get to build relationships. After I got home I went to the store to get a few things to help me organize my room. I went to try to use the free movie pass I got from a friend. However, when I got there the lady told me that they were no longer accepting it. She then said, you look mad and asked if I wanted to see her manager. When I asked her to explain herself. I got more frustrated. She told me they aren't accepting print outs from the internet but that you actually need the ticket from the mail. At that point I didn't want to deal with people anymore so I slid her the unredeemable ticket without saying anything into the stupid microphone thing and walked off. Last night they told me they were still accepting it but just not on new movies. Instead of having to talk to someone else and getting more frustrated I just left. It felt nice to just walk away. I know it may have come off rude. But I'm tired of being told no, no, no. So I left. I went to SB for a while and read my bible. It was good because it helped me relax some. I am now on first name basis with the barista that works there. Haha. I totally remembered her name from the last time that I was there and she kept trying to guess my name. She remembered my face and my smile, but could' t place my name. She was really sweet and told me I made her day by remembering her name. Sometimes just the simple things can make a big difference. It's all in the smile! :)

What I read Leviticus 27...

I love how the Lord explains how to give unto him, but that the first 10% of everything we have belongs to him.

²⁶ “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the LORD; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

I love that, you cannot give to the Lord what is already his. Well, you can however, you cannot cal it your dedication or an offering unto the Lord because it already belongs to him. I think that is interesting because too often we thing that we can give that 10% as our offering. However, it is already his, so whatever we give upon that will be considered our offering. Thank you Lord for giving us so much, a place to live, a job, a family, an income. I have far more than I deserve, but I thank you for all that I have.

Good Night and God Bless!!
