the start of my revolution

done! done my art history exam, done my english paper! home! it's good. on the way home from school today, on the bus, i was reading ephesians. and this is what i learned,
"you were taught....to be made new in the attitdue of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness......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."
i let myself get manipulated by words far too easily and i throw them out far too quickly. jen, i am sorry for being self-righteous and yes, sarcastic, in my message on holly's blog. i was not building anyone up but myself, and definitely not building you up according to your needs. i'm sorry.

it's now going on my prayer wall that i want to only say things, especially write things, that build people up. and not just build them up by saying nice things, but that build them up according to their needs. i want to be listening for what Jesus has to say to them. i can't say thanks enough to Jesus for all he's done for me! he speaks to me, he loves me, he redeems me. thank you!

it's glorious outside :) not if you're driving, but if you're just looking....i love snow. yesterday i got to go skating - such a good time! i love it! i'm still a little unsteady on the hockey skates, but eric did teach me how to do forwards crossovers. at least i can do them when i'm turning right. i love the snow. it's so beautiful. i love it, love it, love it! i wish i was at the ranch, i bet it's even more gorgeous there. tomorrow i'm off to winkler!
