Deuteronomy 4:32-40
The Lord Is God
32Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33Has any other people heard the voice of Goda speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other. 36From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength, 38to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
39Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

A Collection of Kristina-isms!
Dear Friends and Family,
In Lieu of "H-Bday" wishes, wall posts OR even presents...
I would be honored and joy-filled if you would please share your favorite Kristina-ism!
We all know I make-up words and saying and have crazy cool HS-insights... but I can't remember them all, even though they're probably hidden somewhere among the now 55 Journals!
Would you please share it with me!
(you know how I'm a forgetter and need to write everything down)
MEDIUM OF YOUR CHOICE: this note BELOW, write on my wall, FB msg, email, text OR voicemail!
I would love to reflect on how something I've said has been funny, encouraging, or just ridiculously awesome ;)
SOME EXAMPLES:
"I've never heard Him called 'HS' before" ~Sarah
"I have officially been Herefordized!" ~Brigitte
"If GOD made Jupiter... I think He could write a book." ~Kristina (as remembered by Tasha)
BTW if you really, really, want to give, Target gift cards are ALWAYS welcome, or you could donate $ to mycharitywater.org/kh27bday.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

My Journals
WOW... not having them = huge impact!
I know I'm still "connected" and "connecting" with the LORD, but I also definitely see how much I use my journals as a primary way to commune with the LORD (to sit down, and write things out etc.).
NOTE2SELF: Really cool new organizational "spots" are only as helpful as you remember where they are.
POA: Will either need to find a new spot to put my journal at when at work OR hopefully this causes me to remember where it's "new home" is now =)

early morning musings
it's been a while since I've journaled in the AM hours...
just thought it would be interesting to note. I'll record any profound insights.
watching SG1 "2010" and thinking about how a note from the future could change the past, or whatnot... it's interesting to think about how *IF* we had the ability to tell ourselves something about the past, would we?
changing everything we knew?
hmm
things to think about.
it's 4:15a and I'm wide awake now, nice =)
earplugs in, glasses on, lights on, journal open, let the conversation begin!!!
