Forsake

Yeah I know three in one night...but I thought of a really cool thing I learned this week.

So I was talking to Hebe this week and we happened to talk about the verse Heb 10:25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Which I always thought of this verse as one that told us we should go to church. Not missing church when we are able to go. But he has said he thought about it in the same way as when Jesus cried out in Matt 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

So I got to wondering what the Greek word for each was. It turns out they have the same greek word, Egkataleipo. This word means,

abandon, desert
leave in straits, leave helpless
totally abandoned, utterly forsaken
to leave behind among, to leave surviving

Now, you might not think this is cool, but I was very impressed with learning this. I have never taken the verse in Heb. to have such a harsh meaning. But to totally abandon church is what is wrong. Missing a service because you're tired or busy isn't wrong. That is a totally new mindset for me. Maybe you all will learn something from this too. That was my cool thing from Hebe. He really is a smart guy.

Ebay

So I just thought of something else. I'm a totally Ebay-aholic. I have to check it at least once a day to see if I can find any good piston tickets. Yeah I'm addicted. So I was bidding today on some tickets so I could take some more friends on the 5th and I was totally winning I kept updating it until there was just 6 sec left and a guy outbid me. That was so sad...I thought I was home free once I got to the ten sec mark, but oh no...there are stinkers out there who totally strip you from your tickets....I had been watching it from 19 mins down to make sure I got them and then.....BOOM, it's gone in an instant. Well I just thought I'd share.

The Boys are Back

So saturday night I was able to go see the Pistons, center court, ten rows back against the Heat. Oh it was awesome. I took Hebe with me and his commentary alone makes the game more fun. And yeah it was preseason, but I sure didn't care....watching the pistons is watching the pistons in my book. And I'm going again in two weeks. I'm taking my mom to see them play the Raptors. And that's even a picture night...so that should be a lot of fun.

Things with Jabin were challenging last week, but he totally made up for it today. We met McKenna and Marissa (or Miss-ah-ra as Jabin says) at Chuck-E-Cheese. That's always fun and they are just so cute together. They hold hands and when Jabin saw McKenna today he said, "I missed you McKenna" does it get any cuter than that? And it wore him out, he took a three hour nap today. We have library tomorrow and then Music class on Thurs, so over all we'll have a busy week.

Oh and so much fun, I get to spend the weekend with the Tolsma kids in three weeks. Oh I miss those cute little kids! Well they're not so little any more Brandon is 13. Man that's crazy. But I'm really looking forward to that.

I had an extended talk with Ben last night about boys (mainly them taking leadership roles in dating...haha you wonder why huh..haha). But I have to say I learned alot about the male ego. It really does help to just ask boys about things instead of wondering. I'm sure I could tell you girls a few things but each guy is different so I could be wrong.

Oh I got to feel the baby kick two weekends ago. It was the coolest thing I've ever felt. Kristen was laying on the couch and the baby was just moving...so cute. You could actually see her belly moving from the baby.

Well I have a good week all

Dios es mi fuerta!

Well hello once again my loyal fans...Yes this is actually a new post. I have been meaning to update the post but I really didn't have anything special to say. I have been busy watching Jabin this week. And I have the day off tomorrow now. Which is always nice to have a day off...But on the flip side with this job is that I really do miss Jabin when I don't watch him. (Yeah I'm a nerd I know).

So yes the love of my life came back in action on Tuesday night...yea you heard me right...Carlos Delfino and the Pistons have returned for a new season. (haha I had you all fooled for a little bit huh...You really thought there was someone hehehe). And I get to go see them in eight days...Only eight days. Center court, ten rows back from the players...Against the HEAT...Doesn't get much better than that...Well except to actually meet the players themselves...How cool would that be?

My aunt Julie and uncle Bodie (my mom's brother) are here from Colorado. It has been so much fun seeing them. The trouble with them living in CO and us in MI is that we don't really see much of family. I have met their kids three times in my life and I've seen them about five times so spending an extended amount of time with them has been wonderful!!! They are so cool. They have a motorcycle. It's a really cool one too. Yeah I am scared to death to ride them but I think they are cool looking. And they are such godly examples. I would have loved to have them around more growing up. Guess that's just something to remember when/if I have kids.

I'm so excited! It's been a good night.
