I got to thinking about how glad that I am to be alive right now. Don't get me wrong it will be amazing to see Jesus one day, but for now I am content to be. All of the 9th graders in P.E. (that includes me) went to "The Body Exibition" today. I knew that we would be looking at dead bodies and was really grossed out as I like to see people alive. When we got there I was (as I thought) very grossed out. It made me so very sad to see all of the dead bodies and I have no clue where there souls are. We went to the lower level and had to go through the "fetal" area. It was hard enough to see dead bodies sliced up but to have to see a baby in half (so you could see the devolopment) just crushed me to pieces. The more time we spent in the exibition the more depressed and sick I felt.
When I got home I jsut couldn't figure out why I felt so depressed. I couldn't smile (real smile) and just felt so down. I had thought to myself that I should go read the Bible, then I got side tracked and started dinner, and some other things. After I realized that it was satin trying to make me dwell in the depression. When my mom got home she realized that I wasn't at all happy and told me to go read the Bible. After I read just one little verse I felt so full of joy! God is just that amazing to His children! I am so thankful to have Him as a father and to know that He really does care about me and everyone else.
I have a life verse that I feel God has placed into my heart and I am so thankful for it. I thought that I would share it with you. James 1:2-6 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."
