random thought of the day

People might think otherwise about me, but I am really not a patient person.

It's been an Enya day.

You are love, You are life
You're the air that I breathe
You're my day and my night
You’re my joy, You’re my peace
You're the wings for my flight
And vision to my sight
You are truth, You are power
You gave me faith to believe
Brought me straight to my knees
Now I'm standing
Here in this moment, with You
There's nowhere I'd rather be.

It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

One afternoon as I came back from lunch to work Kincee(one of my 3 year olds in my class) sees that I have a drink from Sonic in my hand.

She then asks me, "Is that pop or soda?" :P

Without His love I can do nothing. With His love there is nothing I cannot do.

A love deeper than the oceans.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by You? That is the question. How can I, Kaci, stand here and not be moved by God? How could anyone? So much of the time I go through a day and don't give Him credit for what He has done for me. I don't acknowledge that He is my everything. My light, my leader, my strength, my hope, my purpose, my all, the One who gave me life. I want Him to be all of those things and I want Him and others to know that He is all of that to me. Why is it then, that it's so easy to go without speaking of it? Why is it easy for me to skip a day of praying? Why is it easier to keep silent about His greatness when that's the most important thing I could be talking about? I would rather just go to sleep at night than pray sometimes. I make up excuses to myself and put it off. Isn't that awful? I should be basking in His wonderful love for me and cherishing every moment I can with Him.

Sitting here, I'm thinking of all the wonderful things God has done for me. For me. Yes. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. And it's the same for you too. Here we are, sinners, and haven't done a single thing to deserve anything from God. He doesn't need us. He created the earth and everything in it. Yet He has given us everything. Jesus died for me. I've known that for years, but just think about it for a moment. Jesus Christ died a brutal death on a cross for me. For you. How does that make you feel to know that He did that? He didn't do it because of anything you or I have done. We deserve to die. But instead He died for us. My mind has trouble even comprehending all of that. I sometimes ask myself why He would do that for me? The answer is because He loves. Can you imagine a love so great as His? He doesn't love me because of what I've done or what I'll become. He loves me for me.

Anyone who loves me that much is one to be trusted. I want to trust Him completely with my life. I don't know where my life is going. And I'll admit it's hard to be at peace with that. I like to have a plan laid out and know what I'll be doing. It doesn't always work that way with God. In a sense it does though. I do know that if I continue trusting in Him and letting Him lead me that my life will go the right way. God has a plan. I know not what it is specifically, but I know He will lead if I have faith. I know what I would like to happen, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen or that it will happen when I want it to. I need to remember that God's timing is perfect and so is His plan for me. That makes me feel better. I know I'm putting my trust in the right place.

Now I am getting off track from what this originally started as. I began this by asking a question. How can I stand here and not be moved by You? Sometimes it's just a good idea to stop and remember what all God has done and who He is. Maybe you'll be moved like I was when I did that. Don't hesitate to thank Him even if it's something minuscule. Don't wait to have a conversation with Him. He's waiting for you, for me, to speak and listen. Don't let the busyness of life get in the way of your relationship with God. How do you think your life will go if you push Him to the sidelines? And how do you think He would feel about that? He loves you and me over and beyond any love we could imagine. God's love is deeper than the oceans, higher than the heavens, and reaches farther than the stars in the sky. Don't ever forget it.

70 degrees

Can the weather just be like this everyday in January? Having sunny, 70 degree weather makes me happy. :) Really, how couldn't you be on a day like this? Not to mention, it's Friday! :D

It's a happy day.

2011-01-25T13:21:00.000-06:00

Don't you love it when you suddenly think of something or what somebody said to you and it makes you smile? It makes me happy. :)

I had a lovely weekend

2010-11-01T12:29:00.000-05:00

I love weekends. :) This weekend included many nice things for me. *Being at home* *Family* *warm, sunny weather* *talking to a friend* *staying up late* *sleeping in* *relaxing* *reading books* *going for a walk* ..... *sigh* It's over now, but next weekend will come and maybe I can do all of it over again. :)

I feel like being random.

God is the most wonderful thing there is and ever will be.

Patience is one of the hardest things I have had to learn. (I'm still learning)

Remind me to not add vanilla to my pepsi from 7-eleven.

I painted my fingernails. This is not normal for me.

Work has been tiring lately. Maybe I should work part-time. Or maybe I'm just lazy. :P

I don't think I will ever become a morning person.

Recently discovered that I need to be more active. (running, walking, playing volleyball)

So blessed to have the best friend that I do.

Sometimes I wish I did more than just work full time. What else would I do though?

I wonder where God wants my family to go to church? Maybe He'll answer soon.

For the record, I don't like having 2 year olds in my classroom. Unless it's Karson, then it's okay. :)

If somebody went with me I might actually go sky diving.

Is it Friday yet?

Life isn't always easy.

2010-09-13T12:14:00.003-05:00

Why does patience have to be so difficult? I never thought patience could be this hard. You know when you're a little kid and you have to wait a week for something it seems like forever. Now when you have to wait a year or two or more and it seems like forever. I want things now. I don't want to be patient. God wants me to wait for His timing though and I need to be okay with that. I can't have everything I want right now. I can't do everything I want to do. Patience never used to be this hard. I know that for sure.

I forgot

2010-08-03T11:46:00.002-05:00

I sorta forgot that I had this. Guess it shows how important it is to me. It's not like anybody reads it anyway, right? :P

At this moment I don't even have the time to actually write much of anything. Maybe someday I will though.... we shall see. :)

One year ago......

2010-03-15T00:38:00.002-05:00

I was in Colorado on the most amazing trip ever. I really miss those days......of doing Character First, spending time with friends, being krazy, church being normal, seeing the little children's faces light up when you walk in the room to teach them, receiving numerous hugs from them every Wednesday, getting satisfaction when they remembered what you taught them, going ice skating, skiing with awesome friends and watching them fall down on the slopes and then falling down yourself, late night laughs with girls when we were supposed to be sleeping, long talks on the ride home, making a hilarious and silly movie, laughing so hard you cry and then have people laugh at you for doing it, spending every Wednesday with friends and then spending a whole week with them in the mountains, and so much more. Those days are gone but the memories are great. The ski trip was probably the most fun I have ever had. It's a strange feeling I have when I think of all of it. Sort of bitter-sweet I guess. *sigh* what good times......

On a bit of a different note....I saw a girl I taught in CF! at the zoo today and she knew who I was. *smile*

Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. -Psalms 36:5

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. -Psalms 36:7

God's faithfulness is never ending and how priceless His unfailing love is! The last few weeks have been hard, but God is here right with me. When I turn to Him with problems He never ceases to comfort and guide me. Not everything is sorted out but with God's help I can have peace and be patient. It's just so amazing and awesome how God is always here just waiting for me to turn to Him. I am so very thankful He is who He is and does not give up on me.
