compassion

Well...as the past few months have gone by, for some reason(and a good one at that) my heart has been growing with compassion for the people around me. I have always felt bad for people under certain circumstances but lately some things just burden my heart for these people that have something bad happen to them, whether it be serious or even just something like they fell in public or something. After feeling these serious burdens in my heart, I wonder if it has something as to what God wants me to do with my life. I have still yet to figure that out and have been praying about that for quite some time and I know other people are too. As of now I just wonder if it has something to do with that, but I don't know exactly what it is that would have to do with that. I will have to continue praying and hope that others will do the same for me! Since I was younger, I have always been told that I didn't have a heart and all this, mainly joking, but I definitely do now. I have actually cried because of thinking about Kirk having to eat and then sit by himself at my house. I HATE when people have to eat by themselves. It absolutely breaks my heart and just to think he was sitting by himself just makes me cringe. That is silly I know but just one example of the crazy compassion I have felt lately. Well I guess that might not be compassion to others but...lol I just have a compassion in my heart to try and make other people's lives better. Maybe it being sitting with them when they are alone or helping someone that has fallen. I have never felt this bad for this many people in my life. And I mean I feel sorry for people ALOT. I just pray God continues to fill me with this specific compassion for others. I pray He shows me alot through it and maybe even what He wants me to do with my life :D In my Bible, it says the definition of compassion: sympathy, usually granted because of unusual or distressing circumstances. I thank God for the compassion He has for us continuously and His compassion for us to have a relationship with Him. Without Him I am nothing!
Psalms 86:15-"But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry, and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness."
Romans 9:15- "For God said to Moses, 'I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.' "
I pray this compassion in me for others will continue to grow and God will show me why I have this compassion and what it may bring in my future!

Well...what interesting happenings!

Well...this past weekend has not been the best I have ever day...when my brother got a new car my dad made me and Bethany park our car beside a wood thing beside my driveway and I warned him that I knew I would hit it one day well yesterday was that day...so my car wasn't working and I was reaaally mad and then I did that...so i finally get my car off of the thing and I drove to church just to find out the door wouldn't open when I got there..at this point I am in tears and my dad would not answer his phone and I was just wanting to go home so I climbed out my passenger side door and went in and things were alright I suppose but still didn't have a great day yesterday..then this morning I get to school at 8:15 to find out my 8:35 class is cancelled and normally after that class I have a break so now I am sitting here until 10:45 for my next class...and this guy comes and sits beside me and is blaring his LOUD music and doesn't really care...so I get to hear some hardcore rap for the rest of the hour...awesome..hopefully God is teaching me something through these bad days!

Eh

Well...not much has happened the past few days...today hasnt been the best of days and people sure arent helping it any...but hopefully it will get better!I dont really have much to say for once!

A little late

Well I am a little late writing this but..yesterday was great!I didn't have to work, helped Nathan, move in his house, then boyfriend was coming to get me to go to Ash and Zane's to go to Vision. Well I was getting ready when he got here but I went and said hey to him and he tells me there is something at the bottom of the steps for me!!So I run down there and its a BEAUTIFUL Bible that I have wanted!I've seriously talked about wanting one of the Life Application Study Bibles for like 2 weeks and he surprised me with one and it was so cute!He is the best!Not many people can say that their boyfriend would just go buy them a Bible and I am so proud and honored to say my boyfriend cares more about my relationship with God than anything else!Its just so great to have that encouragement and support that he gives me!He is such a great role model and I look up to him so much!So to today...well I didn't have the best of days that for sure..and then I tried to do something nice for Kirk and got his food order wrong=[ so I was down about that and then I spilt sauce from my food on the floor and little cry-baby me just started crying while he is trying to clean it up but then I find him hugging me telling me I am ok and the stain came up and all this...and I couldn't help but smile!He just kept hugging on me as I continued to cry and it was just so comforting!And I just think thats how we should feel even when we don't physically have someone there!God is ALWAYS there...I mean yeah sometimes it helps to have someone physically there but I think we all forget we always have Him and He is always there to comfort us for any and everything!I am so thankful for all these lessons He is teaching me through different scenarios and situations!It just makes me feel like I am learning more and following Him more closely!I hope to continue to grow and become closer to Him no matter what the case!=] So for this one...God definitely knew what He was doing when he put Kirk into my life, He is teaching me lessons even when I have a bad day, and last but not least He is my reason for existence and I thank and praise him daily for that!!

People died for complaining???

Well...Ive been racking my brain to think of something to blog about since I just started this whole thing and one thing came to my head. As sad as it is...I only REALLY heard one thing my preacher said this morning but what it was really stuck with me. I heard him say something about complaining and all this and I look at the screen thing and see 1 Corinthians 10:10-11. It states, "10Nor should we complain as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come." I will admit it...I am definitely one to complain and I am reminded just about every day of it. I'm not sure I had known before today that complaining was in the Bible but after seeing that this morning and then re-reading it a few minutes ago it makes me want to not complain...people died for complaining then!Thankfully that isn't the case now or I would have been long gone!I thank God for his saving grace and I know I definitely take advantage of all he has done for me and my family but I am striving to know Him more and to know His ways for me and my life!Just a little thought!=]

I am a new one!

Well I have never really done this before. My name is Emily. Soon enough I will write my thoughts/feelings but this is it for now!=]
