Giving Gifts is Awesome/ I Can't Lie

I think the best part about Christmas and other events that require you to give gifts is giving them. However, the hardest part for me is waiting to give the gift. I mean I get so excited to give a gift that at times the gift is given pretty early. On that note...

I stink at lying. I cannot do it all. Most of the time this is a good thing, but when I want to surprise people it sucks a lot. Just ask Mikey.

God is the King and that means we are Princes and Princesses

So it has gotten to the point where I need to blog about it. I am tired of people letting the media influence themselves to a point that they will let themselves be degraded with pornographic pictures and media, and Facebook groups called "Boobies"

God put the time an energy to create each and everyone of us in a unique and special way (yes, that's right we are all unique and "special") I think that we need to honor Him with treating our bodies like a temple:

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Also, Because God is the King should we not surround ourselves with people that make us feel like a prince or princess?

Granted it is a lifelong process in honoring God with everything that we we thing say and do but God is suuuuper patient.

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.' Colossians 3:17

Give it some thought

PLNU Women's Soccer Results...

THEY WON in the second overtime with not a lot left. They are headed off to Alabama on Tuesday for the "Sweet Sixteen" Round. Awesome

Point Loma Nazarene University Women's Soccer (NAIA First Round Nationals)

A girl that I went to high school church camp with plays soccer at Point Loma and her team (Sea Lions) made it to the first round of nationals. The best part is that the first round of NAIA Women's Soccer Nationals is going to be in Bellingham because they are playing Simon Fraser University (located in Canada). I am super excited to see her play and amazed how it all worked out. I found out about all this only a couple of days ago.

Princess Dress

I just got back from picking up a dress that I bought from being altered. I like to call it my "princess dress." But, before I get too involved and confuse you let me give you some background information:

I decided to name my new dress my princess dress because whenever I thought of wearing it I felt like a princess.

Somehow, I got to telling Mikey about my princess dress and pretty much he told me that, "Kiah, you don't need a dress to be a princess, because you are already a princess."

Besides the fact that most people would say, "how nice, cute, and or adorable." I need to say that I think that everybody needs to have someone in their life that can give them compliments that make them feel warm mushy and safe inside.

I Like...

• To study. Major nerd alert, I find if fun to get my homework done early.
• To have Quiet Time with God. It keeps me grounded.
• Roses. Super pretty.
• To spend time with friends and family.
• To dance. Its another way to praise God.
• To sleep. Super entertaining and college student like.
  

DownEast basics

On my hunt for fun super cute but modest clothes I found DownEast basics:

They have super cute tops.
(Get this, the tops actually cover your backside)

They have tops that you can use for layering.
(If a top is too low-cut these tops can make it a bit more modest)

The skirts and dressed all knee-length.
(When you bend over you don't have to worry about the skirt being too short)

The jackets/ sweaters are very cute and add fun to layering.


And the best part is...
All the stuff is affordable!!!

How to stress Kiah out/ I worry way too much...

1. Talk to me when I am doing homework.

2. Put me in a new situation.

3. Homework, parent's who don't mean to be critical but are, and not a lot of sleep.

4. New people and new situation.


Apparently I worry way too much. I had a meeting at work and I thought it was going to be bad... But it wasn't. It makes me very happy.

Feeling Uncertain

Sometimes I feel uncertain about what is going. Sometimes I feel like I know exactly what God is going to do in my life. Other times I feel like I am very very lost and I have no idea what in the word is going to happen. Its hard for me to totally hand things over to God. I know that He knows exactly what is going to happen. I just need to hand it over to Him. Apparently I worry waaaaaaay too much. I need to get used to the fact that God knows what is going to happen in my future.

Baptism and Me

So...
I finally decided that it was time that I get baptized. I don't know what it was that had me dragging my feet, but yeah I finally decided and its going to happen next Sunday (November 8th) at the 10AM service at CTK Bellingham. One super awesome thing that is happening is that my dad is coming to church. He has not been to church in almost a year.

I think the reason it took me so long to decide was that I was worried what other people would say (mainly my parents), because at times I feel like no matter what I do I can't please them. I know what your thinking you can't make everybody happy and blah, blah, blah. But... My family has different religious beliefs and ever since I accepted Christ into my life things have been a little different for us. Anyway, its happening and I thought that I would share that bit of information.
