Another great miracle!

Okay so this is my friend's miracle and it was after what happened to me and the movie...
I was talking on the phone to one of my really great friends and I get another call coming in. So I tell my friend to wait just one second and I'll be right back. Well it turns out it was my other (warning I'm going to keep saying friend alot! =P) friend was calling and I hadn't talked to her for a while. So I tell my first friend that I'll call her back later. So I went back to the second line with my second friend and I say, "Hi! ..." some more happy stuff I guess and how I haven't talked to her in forever, etc; so she asks how come I was surprised because I have caller ID, and I remembered it was because when I looked to see at the second line calling, I didn't recognize the phone number or the name. She tells me that this because she is at her aunts house. Then she tells me, "I need advice." Now I've been told before that I have been good at giving advice, and a lot of people have shared personal things with me, but this was a little unexpected. But of course I'm not going to say no, and I was definitely happy that she came to me for the advice so I said, sure okay! Tell me you problems. She ended up telling me that her cousin is not a Christian, goes to school (sorry for all you people who go to school..I have nothing against it...but sometimes there a little bit of differences between us homeschoolers and school goers... ), and that her family are definitely having some bad habits. Well they had just finished playing a board game, and her cousin says, "let's watch a movie." so her cousin picks out a movie that my friend did not want to see because she knew her parents would be upset and that she would be disobeying God if she disobeyed her parents. Sound a bit familiar? Yep practically the same with me. Of course it was not a good thing that she was in this situation, and I wish I could have gone to her aunts house and helped her. But I was just on the phone. I couldn't do anything except tell her what she needs to remember that God is with her and encourage her to stand up to her cousin, and pray. Well I was glad for the one thing we didn't have in common for this situation...actually many, but here's one good thing. She had not started the movie like I had, and she had already stuck up for herself. I was also glad she stuck up for herself because her little sister was with her. Well her cousin said things like, 'it's because your homeschooled isn't it blah blah blah.' (like I said, some homeschoolers and regular school goers have differences that cause problems....) I told my friend that maybe she could suggest getting to know her cousin a bit, because she expressed to me that she did not like her cousin. I told her she needed to pray and ask God to fill her up with His love because she was going to need it if she was going to talk to her cousin again. I also told her about my experience with the movie and told her that God can and will help her if she asks for it. So I hung up with her and went to go say hi to my mom who had come home from an [practically] all day out door thing. And so I went to go see what everyone was doing out in the living room and sat down to watch some tv with them. That's when I remembered my friend's request. To pray for her. A few people have asked me to pray for them, actually only a couple. But prayer is the best thing you could possible do for them, so I prayed. Well a few days later (I don't exactly know how many days later) my twin was talking to her and I asked if I could speak to her. I asked her how it went and do you know what she told me? Well it was one of the most amazing things I could actually be a part of. She told me that when I hung up with her, they had decided to play a board game and some where betwwen before our call and way after, her cousin was ranting on about how my friend can't do anything because she's homeschooled and so on, when her aunt came up and started getting upset with her cousin, well after they played that board game, her cousin wanted to show my friend her myspace. Now personally I really don't have anything against myspace, I don't have one, infact I have a facebook, but I know some people who aren't allowed to go anywhere near myspace. So my friend was one of those people who knew she wasn't allowed to see this myspace of her cousin's. So she remembered what I had told her about the movie at my cousins and when her cousin dragged her to the computer she stood there. Her cousin was on google and started typing in myspace, when the computer froze. I'm serious, it froze. My friend got really excited thinking "oh my gosh, she was right!" and I'm thinking, "wow! that was God!" so my friend's cousin got really frustrated and decided to go to another room where there was another computer to show my friend. So right when her cousin left, my friend touched the mouse to the computer and it unfroze! My friend was in total WOW! But her cousin was still getting on the other computer!!!! Well no worries, because God used His touch, and sure enough when her cousin did get on the myspace and started typing in the password, the password wouldn't go in. The myspace website rejected it. So my friend didn't have to go against her parent's rules and look at the myspace... I think God was pretty amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

A great miracle!!!

So this is not even half describing how awesome God is!! but these are personal things, not stories, but real happenings to my friend and I that made us feel like WOW! God is so amazing!!!!

So one day I was at one of my aunts house, and my cousins offereed me to watch a movie that I knew had some wrong doings, that was against God's law, but I was told this movie was very good. !!! Yes !!! I let my sinful nature take over me and I asked if we could watch it! What was I doing?!? Well my cousin started it and I started watching it. And let me tell you. In the beginning, I started to doubt if I really wanted to watch this. If my parents were going to be okay with it. If God was okay with it. And then it was getting farther into the movie. And farther into my consience where I just couldn't stand sitting there, watching it. So when my cousin was there, I would turn my head slightly (it was ona laptop), or close one eye (haha, actually I'm not sure if I exactly did that, but I wanted too!) and thyen my cousin would get up and leave to do something, and I would stand up, pretending to stretch or something, and let the movie play. And let me tell you, I have never seen a movie go so slow in my entire life, sure movies could be boring, but if you just couldn't sit there and watch it, it was terribly slow. So my cousin asks, "Pause it!" and I'm like, "No, it's okay." So we watch a bit more, and the same thing happens again..not exactly like that, but I prayed during the movie and asked "Lord, please..PLEASE! get me out of this situation, I know mom and dad aren't going to be happy with this, and I know it's wrong, so please please help me become braver and tell them I don't want to watch the movie any more!" I knew my cousin would ask me why, and I don't know if you have ever felt ashamed that you aren't allowed by you parents or God, to do something, by I did. I know, it was pretty pathetic, but that's why I prayed to become a bit braver and handle it like I should have in the first place, by not watching the movie at all!! But the damage had been done and I need to fix it. Well, pretty soon, towards the middle of the movie (yes the middle!) my dad called. My sister had gone with my other cousin to this donation shop. And he was upset that my cousin forgot her cell phone, and that my aunt wasn't with them, and so on, and he was very upset. Like grounding upset. But guess why he had called in the first place? He need a pull up for my youngest sister, and couldn't find one, but because my twin had changed her last, she should know where they were. Let me tell you. That was God. Because if it weren't for those pull ups not showing up, my dad wouldn't have called and if my dad didn't call, I would still be stuck watching this movie. How? Well because when my dad was upset with me, my cousin paused the movie, but because he didn't let it go, and my cousin noticed, (I love my dad for punishing us right then and there! =P) I had the excuse to tell her I didn't want to watch the movie any more. As if my dad was really uspet with me and I wasn't in the mood. Let me tell you, my dad was pretty upset and I wasn't in the mood! So my cousin stopped and I was able to do some other things...But, because I was still in the wrong, I am going to get punished for it, because God judges equally, and I had the chance to share that with my cousin. That night she told me to pray for her, because she had a problem with lying. And she wasn't proud of it either. So I told her that even though she is sorry for it, God is still going to judge, and she might as well not add on to her punishments.... Guys, think about it!!!! Don't add on to your punishments!!!!! God loves us, and hates it when we sin!!!

Okay so my mom is going to the store right now, and I'd like to go with her so my next post will be about my friends miracle!!!

Wow,

WOW. That is all I have to say right now. Wow for two things. One I haven't been on in a real long time..and I'm sorry for that.... two I just read my sister's blog. Her latest post I mean. And I mean wow. I thought it was soooo great! And I'm so proud of her. It made me feel really stupid on how I've been thinking about things, and I've noticed some of them I've been thinking about too. The other day I was talking to my mom about the war that's going on right now. I never really realized that a war was a war until I started reading this great book called "God's Smuggler" by Brother Andrew ... it was for school, but its still very interesting...anyways he goes off to war because supposedly he has nothing interesting in his life, and realizes (just like I just did) that war was war. Killing people. Just over freedom, or color. Or religion. It's a true story, and he was mentioning that he never realized when he went to war that he would have to kill people. Yes, I know very obvious, but it's true, you have to kill people in order to win. Well I was also talking to my mom about some history of war, and if you ever thought about it, Saddam Hussein is going to be a part of major history to our kids, and our kid's kids. And we are going to be able to live to tell it. I always wanted to have something important to tell in my life that would bring important parts of history to my kids..or granchildren, (Lord willingly) and make them proud that I lived through it, or astonished, etc; but I never thought about that day where they were going to show it on tv, for billions of people to watch the killing of Saddam Hussein. I did not watch that. And I'm glad I didn't. But before that I saw on tv people hating him. Yeah, hate is a strong word, but he did some very bad things. Now you think, where am I getting at? I didn't like that man, and I know tons, and tons of people didn't like him either. But I knew he wasn't a Christian. And that is a very sorry thing. Because I talked to my friend a little while after (days I mean), and she told me she watched the whole thing. She watched it, because she was one of those people who couldn't stand him either. But I don't think it dawned on her, and especially it didn't dawn on me at the time, that at that very moment he was killed, I'm serious, it was like a snap, he was sent to punishment. He went to hell. He's still there. And you think those tons and tons of people thought they had it bad, being poor, having a man crazy enough to bring war. Well let me tell you, tons and tons of people have it worse. They are in the firey pits of hell. Never coming back. That's another wow. If you think about it. That is now another reason now, for me not having to watch the death of Saddam Husseine. Seeing that poor man having his life go and knowing his soul is burning. Just like that. Guys, if know someone who doesn't have the Lord in them right now, please talk to them! I read a verse the other day, and it's good to talk alot about God, and salvation, but even if it's just a littlbe bit, it still means something. God's word is always going to mean something to them, whether they show it or not. Believe me! I'm going to write about a couple miracles on my next post, but God won't let his word be thrown away like that. It will be used, however you use it, whether in writing ,or words, orasking someone to help you, even praying with them, and let them know your praying for them!!! God won't let us down, He's always there for us! You just have to know whether life is pulling you down, you just need to know that some struggles are you just being stubborn, not believing that God has a purpose for every little thing! And if your suffering... again, God know's what he's doing!!!! Alright, I really hope you were touched by this...now I'm going to tell of some awesome things that happneded to me the other day and my friend!!!

I thank God for my beautiful and talented teacher: Mrs. Leyva!! she's part of this organization that have different judges from out of the city...whcih means they are coming here just to hear me and my other fellow students play... just to judge us on how well we play and know our notes.. I guess that one of the reasons why I'm nervous is because I don't want to be judged by some person I don't know... and if I mess up my songs/chords/scales!!!!! ahhh.... I know C Major, and G Minor... but I'm not so good at this G Major and G Minor is harder than G Major!!! (if you play an intrument you probably know what I mean..or at least play the piano)...anyways, I'm excited because its something new, and I get to play for a really awesome musician!!
