Do you feel called to ministry?

STOP.

and take a look at my new blog design! Isn't it beautiful? Thank you Qui! <3 I love Qui. And look at my gorgeous new signature!








(I'm putting it at the top of my post so you can see it better.)


Anyways.

When we think about what we want our careers to be, a lot of my friends tell me they feel called to be a missionary or a pastor or somebody who works in the church.

It just feels right to lead worship, to teach kids about the bible, to hand out food to people who don't have any. A lot of people feel something click inside when they go on mission trips and help out in church.

It's because we're wired that way. Every single one of us has a inner desire to serve and to worship and to help others. It's how God made us.

So if you feel an urge to be in ministry, keep in mind that we're all called to "missionaries"! We can pursue regular careers and still be a missionary to others in our field.

I think I might like to be a scientist. Or work at a publishing house.

    I actually have felt called by God Himself to be a missionary... I know I have so much to learn before that could ever happen. I just know He's called me to one day do so. ;)

    I am like Ley, (or as we know her, Leia..lol).

    I feel a burden for the Arab people, for some reason. I don't think God is calling me to GO to Pakistan, or anything, but to do something.

    But of course, I can be a missionary doing anything. Even writing. Which is a huge bonus! :-D

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 overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.

I need book recommendations!

    I heard this movie stunk. C'mon, I'm dying over here! In other, unrelated news, want to hear one of the most overrated book series I've ever read is? Alex Rider. I picked up Stormbreaker after legions of people going "READ ITZ AMARANTHINE TIS AMAZING". It was alright....I guess. I didn't...fall asleep or anything. But it was definitely not mind blowing. For starters, Alex is way underdeveloped as a character. He was a little funny and relate able but not on the same level as I was expecting. And he's a bit cliched in the fact that he's just generally smart and knows everything, without any explanation or emphasis. I guess you could say that he's only a genius when he needs to be, and it doesn't add any other levels to the story. Oh, and did I mention that he's well versed in martial arts too? Yeah. Ender could still kick his butt though. I guess it would be a good read for boys who don't read much. Definitely not YA lev
