The Insignificant Blogger

 I have the worst time convincing myself that blogging is not about numbers. It's not about getting the most followers or the best blog design. It's not about being the number 1 most popular blogger of all time. It's about having your own place to talk about what you've been doing, your thoughts, and what it's like being you. Of course, comments and followers are great. They help you believe that someone likes you, your blog, and your thoughts. But that's not what it should be about. The only thing that matters is that God loves you. You could have no followers, or comments, and no one that likes you on this Earth, but if you have God's approval, everything else melts away.

On a different note, my aunt is getting married on Friday! :) I'm excited, weddings are always fun. Could you pray for God's blessings on them? Thanks!

I'm singing in the rain, in the shower, etc....

Who else loves singing in the shower? How about when you're vacuuming? I love it. :) I think someone should put together an album, and they could call it, "Songs for the Shower, To Vacuum To, Etc." :) Here is a list of my favorite places to sing:


My Favorite Places To Sing ~a list~

1. The shower
2. While vacuuming
3.  When nobody's listening (except God)
4.  During family worship
5.  After a miracle (even a small one, like a butterfly on a gloomy day)
6. When I'm happy

What are your favorite places to sing?

The Fingerprints Of God (otherwise entitled, one of my favorite songs)

I can see the tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like a magazine
Oh but when I look at you
It's clear to me

That I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living, breathing
Priceless work of art

And I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
And God's not through
In fact, He's just getting started!

Something to Chew On (with your mind, of course)

stew·ard

/ˈstuərd, ˈstyu-/ Show Spelled[stoo-erd, styoo-] 

–noun

1.

a person who manages another's property or financial affairs; one who administers anything as the agent of another or others.

How do you think we're doing on stewardship? I know I could be more careful with my things. It makes me sort of sad to see construction sites tearing down forests and animals habitats to build seemingly pointless buildings. Or stories about animals being cruelly treated or killed. I often wonder what God thinks of our stewardship of the earth.

 ²⁸ God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Genesis 1:28

 ⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? ⁴⁶ It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. ⁴⁷ Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ ⁴⁹ and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. ⁵⁰ The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. ⁵¹ He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 Matthew 24:45-51

All Generalizations Are False.
