// Who wants to buy Girl Guide cookies?

Did You rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might know Your majesty?
Is Your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I've known marked with my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me,
Let me see Your face,
Ever will I seek You.

'Cause all You are, is all I want, always.
Draw me close in Your arms,
Oh God, I wanna be with You.

Can I feel You in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have You capture me again.
Let the earth resound with praise,
Can You hear as all creation lives to glorify one name?

Always - Hillsong United

21. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" 22. Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
~Matthew 18:21 - 22

I have difficulty with this. I know I should forgive him, no matter how many times he screws up, but sometimes, I really want to just give up being his friend. If I forgive him, it means I'm allowing for him to treat me this way. That shouldn't be right. But if God says I gotta forgive, I probably should. He obviously said it for a reason. And it's true. Forgiving him would give me a peace of mind and it would make it easier for me to move on and forget all this drama, but it's just weird. I think I'm getting too emotional about this whole situation.

Moving on. I'm sick. It's really gross, actually. I've been coughing up loogies (sp?) of the brightest shade of green/yellow every 15 minutes. I'm sure you didn't need that image in your head, but I thought I'd entertain you all. I haven't had much to eat 'cept water, Neo Citron, chicken noodle, and Tylenol Cold. Let's hope I get better before camp. I really need some time off from the city and school. Plus, I have a surprise for camp and if I can't sing, the surprise won't go too well.

I'm excited. Matt's coming to McRoberts tomorrow. MCROBERTS FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT!

forgiveness is good. It means that you can talk to this boy and be nice and be polite and maybe even have good times. What it does NOT mean is that this boy can do whatever it was he did to you again. That is YOUR perogative: to make sure he doesn't. Don't let him walk over you, but at the same time hold no grudges. It's a strange balance.

This weekend's gonna roxorz! GET YOUR FORM IN MATT. Or i'll kill you...or infect you with a French virus.
