Ephesians 4: 1-16
Unity in the Body
1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. 3 Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.
4 We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. 5 There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all. 7 However, he has given each one of us a special gift according to the generosity of Christ. 8 That is why the Scriptures say,
"When he ascended to the heights,
he led a crowd of captives
and gave figts to his people."
9 Notice that it says "he ascended." This means that Christ first came down to the lowly world in which we live. 10 The same one who came down is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that his rule might fill the entire universe.
11 He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, 13 until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ
14 Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

Historymaker has put on '40 Days of Prayer' and a verse to go along with the day of prayer. I am now going to post every memory verse in hope to keep to strict guidlines I have set for myself. I am very bad at keeping to reading the bible, so I'm hoping that this works out well for not only me, but you all to. Historymaker is getting me incredibly excited! I honestly feel that there is so much potential for this weekend and I can feel my relationship with God building every day! I really am excited for what GOD is going to do @ Historymaker, not what I'm going to do with my kids, what pranks I'm going to pull, or anything like that. This weekend is about me and God, and then my kids. As selfish as that sounds, God is going to tell me crazy things, and maybe he's going to tell me to go pray for that kid over there. He moves in mysterious ways.
As for what I'VE been up to! The days are jammed packed and I am just flying through the week! This weekend I worked all day on the HM Promo Video and showed it on Sunday. I really like the video more so then others, I don't know why, I just do. Sunday was filled with Church/Family events so it was again a busy day! Yesterday, my plans were thrown off a bit after I could barely see out of my eye! It had swollen up so badly, combined with the fact I was so sleepy! So I had to visit the doctor, then I went shopping for hockey stuff! I ended up buying anything but hockey stuff, but I bought these really cool sandals and some new shirts! The evening consisted of cleaining my room and yelling at my brother, which wasn't too much fun. Anyhoo, that was Monday.
Today I got up nice and early and went to the gym with Navin, and then we went hockey shopping! I managed to drop $300 a goalie equipment (shhhh! don't tell anybody). I feel very rich lately! Anyhoo, I finally washed FJ before playing at Minoru with the guys from church. It was my big debut! I felt pretty good, but then I started to suck! Anyhoo...
The plans for tomorrow is a downtown play-date with good ol' Steph! It's going to be wicked awesome! JC Re-unite?! At least 50%! After that, it's off to school for a bit to talk to the new class of conductors, mainly for trainset reasons. The rest of the week will also consist of watching the Mainstage show, a movie with Norman, and Galiano for the weekend! Other things that need to be done, contact Darcy about HM video, finish HM Promo DVD for Andy, and the Fashion Show Video! Next week? I think I'm going to Whistler! So Holy Moly, I am busy!
Really, I'm thinking of posting something more exciting, so here's what I want from you right now. ANYBODY WHO READS THIS MUST SAY HI IN THE COMMENTS SECTION! PLEASE, AND THANK YOU!
I feel incredibly happy lately, more then I have ever been for a while!
You look so beautiful, so beautiful...
