The Crazy Time I Had At a Sleepover On March 16-17

My best friend, Leigha, was spending the night at my house. It started out normal. We talked, got on Facebook, talked, laughed, talked, ectera! Then we decided to play outside. We walked out to the barn, and we found a dead cat. That was weird. Then we decided to go back inside for lunch, and then we painted our nails crazy colors. After talking about crazy, we asked my mom if we could go to Barnes & Noble. She said yes, so we went back downstairs to change.....into crazy, mismatched clothes! Leigha had on knee-high socks with dress flats! I had on a red turtleneck with a light blue tank, and pink striped armwarmers! The pictures are above....

Be Thou My Vision (Keeping God Number One Even In Tough Times)

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

2. Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

3. Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight, Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight. Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower. Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

4. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art

5. High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

This old hymn is one of my favorites, because it reminds me that God always needs to be my treasure, not money, or education, but God, the ruler of all creation. Think about it. He made and rules everything! I am honored to serve such a powerful God, and will worship him forever.
