Psalm 143
O Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteouness come to my relief.
Do not bring your servant into judgement,
for no one living is righteous before you.
The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.
I remembered the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Answer me quickly, O Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for i have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord,
for I hide myself in you.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God;
may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life;
in your righteouness, bring me out of trouble.
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.

Wow..thats is simply amazing. yesterday i was about to just give up on things and then I talked to the wonderful Sarah Conley and she read that psalm to me and it was like God had her read that because He knew that she would talk to me later in the day.....it was just awesome to feel God's presence again..

SUPER LONG TIME SINCE IVE UPDATED!!!!!!

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 13:56:50 GMT

hello all......well today has started off as a good day. i didnt do any of my homework...nothing new. haha...but yeah i had an awesome student leadership meeting last nite. we did this thing and yeah it was just awesome. but after that i had more time left and i went to the psalms and found a few verse that really helped me....so here are some from psalm 55. i encourage all to read the whole thing.

psalm 55:16-17; 22
but i call to God,
and the Lord saves me
evening, morning, and noon
i cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice
cast your cares on the Lord
and he WILL sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.

i thought that was really good. another psalm that is extremely good is psalm 46...i was going to write the whole thing out but then decided against it.

oh i forgot the exciting new that happened yesterday. we had a fight at school. it was a crazy bad one. yeah it was just crazy. but anywho......im sure no one cares that much about it. if you do just comment and ill put a little entry in here about it.

oh and i have decided instead of just posting my stuff on here(xanga) im going to post it on my live journal too so that all my little buddys from over there can ready it too!!?!? so yeah im excited. im doing better today know that GOD IS MY STRENGTH!!!

tahts the only thing getting me through today or this whole week...pretty much my entire life.

GOD IS MY STRENGTH
GOD IS MY DELIGHT
GOD IS MY JOY

well i need god. i need his closeness, i need his nearness, his beauty, power, passion, amazingness, excitment....yeah i need to get my butt into shape. i am rediculous(cant remember how to spell this) i went on the mission trip to philly and what did i say when i was on that??? yes i said that i wanted to make an impact on my world, to grow closer to my savior, and to grow so close and so much of him to be stored in my heart and mind, that it oozes out....that is what i long for....now to get my butt into shape what do i need to do???? yes thats right i need to actually do my quiet times, do something for my savior and feel like im actually doing something worth while. because i know that if i dont start getting back into gods word i will not be strong for this years school year and thats NOT GOOD!! because already starting sports for school i can feel the spritual warfare start...and since i can sense it thats a good thing now i need to strengthen myself to handle that combat....so thats where im at right now...
this is the goal for the week...i will have time with my savior everyday and ill do it hopefully immediately after soccer practice because that will be a great time to do it.............

'ask and you will recieve, whatever you need..."

Your Hidden Talent

You have the power to persuade and influence others.
You're the type of person who can turn a whole room around.
The potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don't abuse it.
Always remember, you have a lot more power over people than you might think!

What's Your Hidden Talent?

well i was thinking about the like where it says "the potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don't abuse it" now i know these things are retarted and they dont really tell you for real about yourself and all that but i was just thinking about what it says in that line and i think thats what ive been doing. ive been abusing my leadership qualities. so yea i thought that was kinda cool......

Fri, 08 Jul 2005 04:35:54 GMT

well at the moment it is 11:20 so it says on my computer which i know is wrong so lets say about 11:30 pm.....i leave in exactly 4 hours. i am going to philly and its going to be amazing. i am so excited. after that last entry as you can tell i was kinda down but a ton of my friends have been amazing and have talked to me and comforted me so thats good. i love my friends by the way....and u all know who im talking about. so yea......im freakin excited about the mission trip. i just know that god is going to work through us and minister to the people in philly and i know that he is going to work in the team. he is going to do amazing things through our team and to our team. im just plan and simply amazed at how spectacular god is. he just bewilders me. and i think thats all i got to say.....so im gonna go. whoever is reading this please pray for our group as we go to philly it is going to be an extremely long ride there cuz we are driving and its going to be difficult in some aspects but thats alright. i know god has each one of us on this trip for a reason. and i know he is going to have his hand in everything we do. so yea. just pray for the team, the people in philly, our bus as we travel, and just everything. so yea thats about it

Wed, 06 Jul 2005 04:54:58 GMT

well tonite at the cafe the lesson was AWESOME. absolutely loved it. we leave for philly in less that 3 days. and tonite after the cafe made me depressed.....i seriously think i cant handle being around many more couples. its killing me inside. i dont know how long i can take this. its just incredibly difficult. and i honestly dont know what to do anymore. i mean theres nothing i can do. which really sucks. but like we were talking about tonite at the cafe or at least what i was thinking about during the cafe was that god has a plan and we need to pray for his guidance. so i guess i just need to deal with all this cuz god does have a plan. i dont even know what to say anymore...i guess this is it. well the depressed girl is now going to go sleep since she has drivers ed in the morning...yeah i get to be around a whole bunch of girls that are super pretty and feel like im ugly for 2 hours. im so excited.....

Thu, 30 Jun 2005 05:05:02 GMT

well tonite was a good nite. we had mission trip training tonite from 6-10 pm..and it was really good. i can see the team growing together and gelling and starting to unify. i talked to brent for a while tonite online and i was having huge problems thinking that im ugly like i always do. and he lifted my spirits. he just made me feel really special and i thank god for that kid. he has been such an awesome person in my life. tonite i was reminded of how awesome and amazing my friends are. also me and brent talked about a bunch of other stuff. i also talked to erika tonite. i just pray to god that he would give her the strength to carry through the struggles that she is having in her life right now. satan is trying to attack her and destroy her a week before we go on the mission trip and at the moment he is winning the battle but i know she will fight. so yea. thats all for now...im so thankful to god my father for my friends. they are amazing. all of you, you know who you are, i love you oh so much.

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:21:15 GMT

it is a good day!!! a day that can be marked in the book of the life of dana mulder. i got my permit today..it is exciting. i love it. my parents are letting me drive all the time..so all is good. tonite the cafe was so good. i really feel that our youth group can lead a revival through our church and through the community around us. i am oh so excited to see how god will work in the year ahead. its so exciting im ready to burst outta my skin. another thing that makes me oh so happy is the fact that all the girls that are going on the mission trip have embraced the rule of wear shorts that are to our knees instead of the SKANKY SHORTS. its so exciting to know that the girls in our youth group and thinking about how to help our christian brothers not to stumble in what they see. its just awesome to see and be a part of. and to all you who are part of this girl i thank you and i say well done. lets keep this up.....guys have enough problems walking around in this world they dont need to struggle around their christian sisters. if thats the only way we can help them lets do it full force. so yea..thats all for now..

P.S. ERIKA I LOVE YOU....EVERYTHING WILL BE OK......if you ever ever ever need to talk you know my number, email address, and aim...please call anytime or get online or email ANYTIME!!!!

Sun, 26 Jun 2005 04:26:14 GMT

well im home from sbr and it was absolutely amazing. i miss it so much already. ive only been home for about a day and a half and i want to be there right now with all the people that became my family for 2 weeks. i miss all my friends from their greatly. the whole staff at sbr are just so amazing. they all have an awesome wholehearted love for christ and for sharing his love.
one thing that came out of the past two weeks along with so much other stuff is that i pretty much figured out that i am planning on going to nbi(nicolet bible institute) the college there after i graduate high school and then go on to regular college. i know some people might say thats just a waste of your life to go through a school thats not pertaining to your job. when in reality for me it pertains to the rest of my life so i think its EXTREMELY important. i checked it out today and it sounds awesome, a lot of work, a good amount of money, but amazing. and it sounds like i would learn so much and grow so much closer to god. it sounds funny talking about this since i am only going to be a sophmore this year but you know what god really showed me stuff in the past 2 weeks and i really felt him talking to me about nbi. so we will see what happens maybe god will close doors if he doesnt want that to happen. but i really think thats what might happen.
i got connected with a ton of awesome people that i know i can call or talk to online that will help me with anything. they are just so amazing there. so many people touched my life even if they didnt realize it.
i cant believe how much i miss it already. im thinking about not playing volleyball this year for school and instead just going back up there in august to help them out cuz their short on staff. i dont know how hot my parents were of that idea but they can just deal with it if thats what god is telling me to do.

well thats all for now. i guess ill go to bed

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 05:08:25 GMT

well all...i am leaving tomorrow at 7a.m. for the lovely silver birch ranch in northern wisconsin and i am excited and yet im am deeply saddened. the reason for this sadness is that my brothers and some of the coolest guys i know are leaving on sunday for a 3 week tour to california. now this is an amazing blessing from god and an amazing opportunity for them to have. they are chasing their dreams and their not going to stop at anything. they all love god and they have prayed about this and i totally support them in this but im just really really super sad they are leaving. i just hugged rich for about 3 minutes crying because im sad they are leaving. i think the biggest thing that im sad about it that i have to leave before them so i dont get to see them play their show tomorrow nite but thats ok. i know they will do great. and i know they will be alright. its just really hard because we are close. but anyway. this will most likely be my last entry for about 2 weeks unless i can access a computer up at sbr. i love all of you and hope you all have a wonderful and splendid 2 weeks.

pray for me.

Mon, 06 Jun 2005 05:17:51 GMT

wow i feel horrible. i was just reading rachels entry that she put in today about how PT said something this morning in church and yea i realized that i totally spaced out during the entire church service. i feel really really really bad because idk stuff lately has been not so grand. like today i spent the entire ride to my bros show crying. they are leaving a week from today on a tour to california for 3 weeks and im leaving on saturday to go to the big SBR(silver birch ranch, for those of you who dont know) and yea idk im really really sad about it. and on the ride there my bro, rich, told me to ride in the van w/ kyle and jake and i really wanted to ride w/ rich. and then on the entire ride home rich talked to megan the whole way home. now i love megan and i love rich and everything and i know they dont get to see each other much at all and that they need to talk but idk i want to spend one nite with my bro. like on friday nite on the way home and on the way there rich talked to megan and i want to be able to talk to rich about stuff. we never talk anymore. we talk ever like 2 months it seems like. like all of a sudden he'll ask me hows stuff going and yea. idk....i just want to talk to him. and then andy made me mad today too because he likes the girl jessyca and idk shes a cool girl and everything but andy is leaving next sunday and im leaving saturday so im not going to see him for 3 weeks starting saturday. and that really sucks. and like andy just spends time with her. like hes there right now. and im just sick of never getting to spend anytime at all w/ my bros. now i understand they are 20 and 18 years old but i mean i just want to be able to spend like one nite w/ them w/o jake or kyle or anybody just the 3 of us. now we have never ever done that. always jake or somebody else has been there and since their leaving on sunday i wanted to hang out w/ them. but i guess its not going to happen. -wow this is a super duper long entry- but idk maybe i just need to get over it. because i think that maybe im just being a baby and i just need to not care. AHHHHHH

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 22:16:51 GMT

What Your Dreams Mean...

Your dreams seem to show that you're a bit disturbed... but nothing serious.

You may have a problem you're trying to work out in your sleep.

Overall, you are very content in your life.

Your dreams tend to reflect your insecurities.

You have a very vivid imagination and a rich creative mind.
