How widely known is the day we find ourselves in.
I'm pretty grateful for my life. I'm pretty grateful that none of my loved ones had to face the tragedy of 9/11. I'm thankful that I was no where near NY or Washington and that I knew no one from there. But why do I all of a sudden feel so a part of this day?
I'm sure you readers turn on the TV or computer sometime in your life. But whether you've seen it on TV or online or wherever; there is a current issue on the rise.
Hear about the church burning these Quran's on this day? Due to public rejection and outside threats, they've decided to not do such thing.
Its sad to see that people who hold the name I call myself (Christian), represent me in such a way. Its sad that people who say they love Jesus and want to follow his ways, choose to express their love by hating others? I'm not claming to be little miss perfect, but I truly desire for the love that we have to be exposed to the world more instead of hate. I don't understand though. Then again I may be naive or narrow minded to some degree but I just wish the world didn't have to be that way. Life is difficult and as the bible says, each day brings it own troubles. (Matthew 6:36). At least we're alive and well and God knows what the future hold for us. And thats all that really matters.

Why, Hello September!
What is a great way to start off this month? I'll tell you one, Buying tickets to one of your favorite band's concert. BUT i can name an even better one; having someone else buy them for you. Oh yes. How ideal is that?
BUT BUT...This 1st of September didnt exactly start off this way.
My sister and I were both sitting in the car on our way to the house returning from school, when ALL OF A SUDDEN...a flash of lightning...no kidding. When all of a sudden, the radio station we were listening to made an announcement that the 15th caller would recieve 2 free tickets to this concert we were dying to go see. The calling was gonna start in an hour and my sister and I were more than ready at that moment. We had out cell phones at hand setting the number they had given us to speed dial. One click and we'd be on that dial tome quicker than your grandma.
The hour cam and as soon as we heard that announcer say "Call Now!" we clicked and called and hung up and called again, and hung up...and called...and clicked ..and hungup..and ..and..and...nothing. Nada. the German word for nothing (cant spell it). and yeah.
We weren't the 15th caller.
My sister was BUMMED OUT. So was I, but not as much as her.
So, seeking to be comforted and happy again, we went out for ice cream (the solution to most temporary problems). Once we reached the bottom of our cups of ice cream, we realized we were still bummed out.
SO, we took the only solution left to this problem.
BUY TICKETS.
Now of course Jesus is the real solution and we would have dealt with it fine if we didn't go...but we're stubborn. hehe.
ANYWAYS...
Care to know what band???
KINGS OF LEON. oh oh oh..and Black Keys. :) Can't forget about them and their awesomeness.
Sooo..I'm pretty psyched right now.
I sorta' feel like listening to their music 24/7 now so that when concert time comes, I'll know every lyric by heart and be the ULTIMATE FAN!!! *echo's in the background*
It shall be epic for a number of reasons. I'll be there, and everyone knows there has to be SOME form of life to this party. And well because I will be in the same room as Kings Of Leon and Black Keys.
Be jealous. Ok..now stop.
So that is my small but quite eventful 1st of September.
Lovely, no?
God is so good. :) He spoils me much more than I deserve.
