| So today as I was talking to God I came across a verse in Psalms: "You
alone are my inheritance and my cup of blessing." -Ps. 16:5
I was curious, so I looked up the etymology for "inheritance". I
couldn't find it, but I found the word "inherit", and was surprised to
see that it meant "to make an heir". I started thinking about what it
means to be made an heir of Christ. To be an heir of Christ means to me
that I am a successor to him, or a daughter. To be his daughter means
to me that I have acquired His love, and I have inherited his
attributes and characteristics.
I sat down with a pen and paper and asked God to tell me what
attributes and characteristics of God that I have inherited. I was
amazed at what God told me I have inherited from Him. The biggest one
for me was that I have inherited the "robe of righteousness and
purity". It was a great blessing and encouragement for me to do this,
and I encourage y'all to do the same if you have time to. This kinda
goes along with what Tony was teaching about on Wednesday night, about
what it means to be a son or daughter. Boy, I tell you what, the things
that we have inherited as God's children are innumerable and
immeasurable.
Isn't God amazing? | | |
| This is my quick little post before I go to bed that's telling y'all I have a facebook now!!! I like it a lot. Ok! That's all! Goodnight my dear friends! Erin  | | |
| Hello everyone! Today is a lovely day. You know why? Because I don't feel sick anymore!!! Last Wednesday I started feeling sick, and Monday I had a fever. I felt like I had the flu, but I'm all better now! Thank you for praying! The other day I was flailed out on the couch, taking up three seats, watching tv, trying to rest. My forehead started tickling, as if there were something crawling on it, so I flicked it off, figuring it was just my hair or something. Three minutes later, the same feeling. I was sure it was just my hair because I couldn't fathom it being a bug. And besides, if it were a bug, it wouldn't be crawling on me *again* after I had already flicked it off, so I brushed my hair aside and pulled it back so it wouldn't happen again. Well. That didn't work. Three minutes later.....again.....I felt something crawling on my neck this time, and since my hair was nowhere near that part of my neck at that moment, I started to wonder. As I was sitting there watching the end of I Love Lucy I felt the same tickling sensation on my hand. I looked down, KNOWING my hair couldn't do that, and I saw a big, huge, gigantic spider crawling across my hand! (It really was only the size of a nickel, but it seemed huger!!!!) I gracefully jumped out of my seat, gently shook my hand and the spider flew off into the unknown abyss. Calmly, I walked over to find a shoe, then searched for the spider. It was nowhere to be found. I patiently waited a few seconds and there it was, my enemy, the nickel sized spider. I gently brought the shoe to the floor where the spider was residing, and smooshed it until it was thoroughly dead. "Take that, spider!!" I thought. And all was well in Erinville. Well, that's how it would've gone if I wasn't scared of spiders. I'm not like, terrified of them, but I don't like them crawling on my FACE!!! When I realized there was a spider crawling on me I jumped out of the chair and started screaming and jumping up and down until the spider was gone.....I'm glad no one was around to see me. I can't believe there was a spider crawling on my face. MY FACE!!! Do you realize what could've happened if it bit my face???? It could have been a poisonous spider, and my face could've swelled up like a balloon!!! But, that didn't happen because I took action and scared it away with my handy jumping skills. =D And then I killed it...quite violently, I might add. I grabbed a shoe and slammed it into the ground where the spider was. That's when the smooshing action started. I smooshed it until I was SURE it was dead. I've started playing Twilight Princess. I'm really bad at it, ask Kristin, but I like it! And it's fun! So even if I die a gazillion times, I shall keep playing!!! Hope y'all have a good week. I love you! Erin | | |
| Hi!!! 
I've been really bored for the last few hours, and when I'm bored there's a site I usually go to that has lots of pointless games and random things. It's called pointlesssites.com. I was just exploring all of the things on it, and I found this really cute song about eggs. If you have time, I think you should watch it! Here's the link for it. And be sure to turn on the sound. ^_^ It wouldn't be as cute without the sound on.
Leading worship went good. =) I was happy with the way it turned out. Kristin took a few videos of it, so if you want to see them, tell me and I will think about letting you see one. (the key word there is *think about*  )
I have a new song on my site now. It has helped me feel closer to God, and to quiet my heart and let him love on me. I really like this song. ^_^
Well, I could probably write some more, but I'd rather go and play some more pointless games! =D
Oh! I guess one more thing I could tell you is that I've made up a little song (it's wordless, though) on the piano. It really *does* work to ask God to guide your fingers for you.  It's really cool. Really REALLY cool, actually.
Off to play more random games!
Love you,
Erin

| *WARNING*
What you are about to read will give you an inside look at the way I talk to myself. Proceed with caution.
You can do it!
Psshaw. You can't do it. It's too hard. You'll mess it up.
No, you won't mess it up. Even if you do make a mistake, that won't take away from the worship. So stop worrying.
What if people will think I stink at it?
And what if they do? That won't change anything, and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about it, anyways.
I guess you're right. But what if I pick the wrong songs?
God will still meet you there. It doesn't matter what songs you pick.
But I'm going to mess up! I can feel it! I'm not ready to do this. I'll mess it up.
Remember on the ropes course? The first time you lost your balance, did you fall?
No. What's your point?
You may make a mistake, chances are you probably will, nobody's perfect. But you won't fall. God will pick you back up. You'll be fine. They love you, and don't care if you mess up. Don't be afraid to mess up. Stop saying you can't do it! Because you can! You can do it! And they'll still love you and support you all the way through it! You can do it!
Camp was awesome. God did lots of things in me. He told me I'm going to be a missionary. ^_^ Yay! I felt comfortable with being myself when I was there, and I still do.
I've been asked to lead worship on Sunday night for youth group. That's what all that up there ^ was about. Satan's trying to get me discouraged and feel like I'll mess it up, but God's reminding me that I CAN do it. Yeah, it may be scary, but the ropes course was scary, too. And I lived to tell about *that*, so I'm not going to die in this. =P
My Mom has been in a lot of pain lately, so if y'all could be praying for that, it'd be appreciated.
Love you guys!
Erin
