Pause for a moment while destiny calls


I can't believe we have two more movies to go through before the Twilight saga is blessedly over. I wouldn't mind quite so much if it was just another vampire movie. But it's just the cultural phenomenon that it's inspiring. All that goth makeup, and clothes, the fangirl squeals over you-know-those two -guys, people running around pretending to be vampires with special powers....??????
I think the root of this is the same root of whatever drives little kids to want to be princesses.  Or superheroes. Or (sobs) Jedi.  Deep down inside, we all want to stand out, be different, live a life that's different from everyone else. We want to escape the ordinary and live a life that has adventure and excitement(which a Jedi does NOT crave, by the way.) We want to make a difference and outlive our lives.
Too bad that only happens in the movies. sigh.
No, it doesn't.
God doesn't call us to a life of boring ordinaryness. You want to live a meaningful life? Good, that's what you're made for. 
Pray and live, and you'll see that you're made for way more purpose and adventure then you have. If you've been reading my past posts, you'll see that some amazing things have happened to me!
No matter how old or how young you are, God calls, and has called you to action every single day, sometimes in seemingly little ways.  Are you listening? God has an amazing destiny planned out for each and every one of us. But maps can't force you to follow them.
Destiny calls. Will you follow it?





*Like this post. I just randomly got the idea to create this post, and I wasn't doing anything at the time, so we'll see where it goes.

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
