voting

well, i am voting in iowa, but for king county, wash. so thats good. but there is so many offices that i am voting for that i dont know or dont care who is elected. its my first voting experience and its been difficult to wrap my mind about what to vote for in amendments or who to vote for in the various offices. so. hopefully i do it right.

the LORD is always with me...and you =]

well, i have been learning some stuff lately. that i always try to use my on strength to make it through the day. let me tell you...it doesnt work. i cant do it. one of my favorite passages in the bible is Psalms 23 1:1-4:
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. (want = lack)

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, (you cant get sheep to lie down easily)
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

i am a dumb sheep that strays way but my LORD leads me and guides me in to still waters and paths to righteousness. but even when i walk in fear and trembling His staff and and rod comfort me because i know you are with me. you will provide all my needs and wants, and allow me to lack nothing. i dont have to rely of myself, cause He is here with me. its like the footsteps in the sand poem:

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
