INTRO:
Laughter (Y)
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 For everything is a season, a time for every activity under heaven...A time to cry, and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to death.
Proverbs 17:22a A cheerful heart is good medicine.

Abraham & Sarah laughed
Sarah said in Genesis 21:6. "God has brought my laughter"
Genesis 17:17 Abraham fell face down; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?
-Laughter of faith

Genesis 18:13 (laughter of unbelief)
Hebrews 11:11 By faith, Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

Beautiful lesson of faith
[Notes lost]
Hebrews 11:11 Sarah's laughter=Faith.

El Sahaddai: God almighty
Genesis 17:1: When Abraham was 99 years old the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am the God almighty; walk before me and be blameless"

Our God is El Shaddai, God Almighty. There is nothing too hard for the Lord.

Nothing is too hard for the Lord.

But God
Acts 7:9

Acts 10:28 "He said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean."

Acts 13:29-31 "When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people."

Phillipians 2:27 "Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow."

God responds in the same way to us as he did to Abraham.
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
NO. Nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. "

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
