that's what i call power

"He gives snow like wool;

He scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

He hurls down His crystals of ice like crumbs;

who can stand before His cold?

He sends out His word, 

and melts them;

He makes His wind blow 

and the waters flow."

Psalm 147:16-18

Wow.  This is my new favorite Psalm  :)  Those last two lines are sooo significant right now, while us East Coast Americans are sitting in the middle of a hurricane.  I don't think I've ever been in a natural disaster, so I was kind of excited (Yes, I am weird like that.  I get excited when I might die ;P).  Unfortunately (I meeaan, thankfully), it's not that bad.  It's just very windy and rainy out.  But reading those verses this morning, I just thought about how powerful our God is.  The chapter before was titled "Put Not Your Trust in Princes."  WOW.  See a link?  Princes (insert: Presidents, governors, politicians, kings, etc.) aren't half--scratch that, aren't a billionth as powerful as God.  Our God, MY God.  And how incredible does that feel to know that He's on our side?  "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)  I feel like the world is ending because of all these earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes.  But really, there's nothing to worry about because 1) God is on our side and He's taking care of us, and 2) If you're a Christian, you'll be taken before anything really awful happens.  All the other disasters have been happening in other parts of the world, like Japan and Haiti, and I felt really detached from the whole situation.  But now, with the earthquake in Virginia that reached Boston and Hurricane Irene cutting through MA and NY, it doesn't feel so far away.  Maybe now that people (insert: NorthEast Americans) are actually experiencing a little bit of the devastation that's overtaken less prosperous countries, we'll be more generous and open to giving/helping causes that support "the least of these" that have been attacked (see my last post).  Well, I gotta go, but that's my shpeel for the day :) 

These are the hands that built the mountains,

the hands that calm the seas.

These are the arms that hold the heavens,

they are holding you and me.

...you will be safe in His arms.

congratulations Japan! excellent game, thank you :)

here we come london 2012!

noooo!

no nando!! haha this is such a weird situation because i'm so happy he scored, but not against my team :( lol... anywho, we got pwned really bad, cause spain rocks, and we ain't so good... ;P but it was a groovy game anyways... :D have a smashing coconut day!

about this...

I think http://foreverandever22.tumblr.com/ has a good perspective on it. They posted:

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. -Gandhi. As followers of Christ, let’s never celebrate death, unless it is followed by a resurrection.”

No resurrection here, though... He doesn't actually say that's what he was talking about, but it applies. Also, Proverbs 24:17-

“Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles or is overthrown.”

A lot of people were like "Pwned!" and all this stuff... essentially "rejoicing" over Bin Laden's death... I think it's really sad when someone dies, even if he was our "enemy", so to speak. I always wish there was another outcome, (I tend to have supernatural hopes) that he would become a Christian and see the error of his ways, or whatever... idk! Well, anyways, let's not "rejoice when our enemy falls," America.

will and kate are married!!

I just watched the royal wedding of

Prince William of Wales

and

Catherine Middleton

now Her Royal Highness, Princess William of Wales, the Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus

She's so gorgeous... she looked absolutely stunning!

Catherine's sister, Pippa, looked fabulous, too

and I had to add this. I love them, and check out Victoria's heels! She's pregnant, too! David is so dashing... note the top hat :) Gotta love it

I'm sooo happy for them, they're such an adorable couple and I reeeally hope (and pray) that this will be a successful marriage and it won't "end" like so many others... Congrats!

it seems to me...

another visitor!

is this thing accurate?

ROMANIA!

ok i lied ;P

haha ok this is the last thing i'll post on (this) world cup ;P

 he was soooooo happy he looked like he was going to fall apart ;)

haha i switched teams during the final ;D i realized i actually like fernando a whole lot more than the netherland team... lol

world cup 2010 (yes, again)

so this world cup is my absolute favorite! :D all my top 4 are in the semis! and now the top 3 are in the finals (one more to be kicked out :[ )... this is my top 4 (well, 3... it's confusing...) because 3 of my original top 4 have all been eliminated :( sad day lol... ok let my try to explain a different way:
my original top 4 favorite teams:

• Great Britain
• USA, of course
• Australia
• Germany

my new top 4 now that 3 of those /\ have been eliminated:

• Uruguay
• Spain
• Germany
• Netherlands

i "favorited" the second list a little before the quarters, so it wasn't rigged ;P haha
but netherlands beat uruguay (well that was unexpected!), so only 3 of my 2nd list of top 4's are in the finals/semis :) make sense? maaaaaybe?
spain seriously has NO chance against that powerhouse germany... *and i'm not just saying that because i'm german ;P* poor spain...
prediction (although it's technically not a fair one seeing as the finals are right around the corner):
germany vs spain : germany defeats spain, 3-1
finals: germany vs netherlands : (heart) netherlands defeats germany, like 6-5 or something wacko. (head) germany butchers netherlands, 8-0 ;P haha i love you both... i honestly don't care that much, i just hope it's a well played, coached, and reffed game...
*can't wait!* germany vs spain : wednesday, july 7, 2.30pm est abc
*can't wait even less!* netherlands vs... : sunday, july 11, 2.3pm est abc
*haha* losers match : saturday, july 10, 2.30pm est abc
