Today was an epic day for the Lasater family. Ok maybe epic is too exciting of a word...today was a monumental day for the Lasater's. Dang...still sounds SUPER exciting.
Today my brother graduated from The Ohio State University. He's the first of the family to do so and it's just pretty thrilling I suppose. This morning I woke up bright and early to get ready and I'm not sure if I mentioned the fiasco with my bangs but needless to say..BANGS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE....especially for people with oily skin and oily foreheads. Now that you have that visual and understand how fun it is for me to get ready in the mornings...my mom and I headed to my Nana's house to caravan down to Columbus. The car ride went by in a peaceful sleep for me...the moments I was awake held some wonderful thoughts from Mark Driscoll. Fast forward to the actual ceremony. OH MY GOODNESS. While it's wonderful that my brother was graduating...I don't want to sit through a graduation ceremony again. Even my brother was listening to his ipod....its a good thing I have New Moon in my purse....
After the ceremony we took the traditional pictures with my 'non-traditional' family and jetted off to Easton for some delicious Mongolian BBQ. Then the entire dinner was spent convincing my family that 1. I don't need a boyfriend and 2. the waiter is probably not a Christian, not attractive, and had a tongue ring. Needless to say I'm not interested and my interests are elsewhere. Alas I have to say I love my great big disfunctional family :)
On another note...I had this epiphany of sorts today. I love music...thats kind of a no duh thing. I'm also a person that finds herself relating to songs. So I wondered if I could describe myself to someone through music...what songs would they be? Like what songs would be on the soundtrack of my life? I have a pretty hefty list going but if I'm actually going to make the cd I need to narrow it down quite a bit....I'll leave you with one song though.
Unusually Unusual - Lonestar....it seems to be a pretty fitting song for me. If you know me I'm sure you'll agree....lol

Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!
Oh what a beautiful Sunday! Today was a pretty awesome day...not gonna lie.
The sermon this morning was so great and it was definitely something I needed to hear. By female and sinful nature, I am a worrier. I worry all the time. Most of the time its over completely frivolous things...it's pretty much pointless. The sermon was called Why Pray When You Can Worry and it was taken out of Philippians 4:4-9.
(4) Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
(5)Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;
(6) do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
(7)And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(8)Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
(9)What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Pastor Duke then went on to talk about what worry actually was...SIN. By worrying, we as humans are not making much of God. Throughout the Bible, God is constantly telling us to not worry for he is near. Just take a look at verse 5. I have to agree with Pastor Duke when he states that it is one of the worst divisions in the Bible. "Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is near;" NOTICE the semi-colon...its important. In the NIV, theres a period trying to make it its own sentence and starting off verse 6 as a command. In reality, the Lord is near is the REASON we should not be anxious about anything. It's very simple, the Lord is near; THEREFORE do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. So we've established that worry/anxiety/fear..etc. are sins lets move on...
He goes on to say that in order to overcome worry, we need to replace it with thankful prayer. This is where looking on the bright side and optimism comes in. Instead of focusing on the fact that you've recently lost your job or some other form of unfortunate circumstance, praise God for the things you do have. We are debtors to God. We deserve nothing and everything that we do have is a blessing from him whether that be our health, family, homes...etc. We are blessed beyond what we deserve. Ladies and gentlemen, we deserve death and eternity in hell. Lets just think about this. Think about the most painful thing you have ever encountered whether that is a serious injury, a serious illness, or even a paper cut soaked in lemon juice....then times that by like a million zillion. THAT is what we deserve. God did us a HUGE favor by sending his son to die for us and we are forever indebted to Him. When you feel yourself start to worry, stop and turn it around. Praise him for what he has done and trust him to help you through. Use the same devotion that you use worrying to praising God and praying to him. There is a fine line between a healthy concern and worrying. A healthy concern is something that moves us to take action but ultimately trusts God for the outcome. Worrying is taking the burden upon yourself to carry around and thinking that God can't handle it....not a good place to be I assure you.
Pastor Duke also went on to talk about resting in God's promise and using our minds for God's purpose. In verse 7, God promises us that the peace of God, something our puny little human minds can't understand, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. God promises us that he'll take care of us. For example, in Matthew 6:25-34, a passage I've come to know well, we're reminded that God takes care of the birds of the air and he clothes the lilies in beauty and splendor. How much more does God care about us? He made us in HIS image...He's going to take care of us. He has a plan for each of our lives and we just need to trust him to guide us along the way. We're also told in verse 8 to think about GOOD things. Things that are pure, true, honorable...etc. These are the things we are to focus on. Thinking produces behavior and behavior reinforces thinking. Don't just sit back and passively listen to your sinful thoughts...and there is a way to overcome this...
the 3 R's
1. REBUKE : rebuke yourself and your sinful thinking.
2. RENEW : renew your mind with scripture. According to Ephesians 6, the only defense we have against sin and Satan is our sword of Truth, the scriptures.
3. REPLACE : replace worry with the opposite good. Instead of worrying, praise and thank God for what you do have and present your requests to Him ultimately trusting him for the outcome.
Like I said....this was a very good and much needed message for me to hear. I've been going through highs and lows lately, today especially when it comes to my future and all that entails. I've found myself fretting and worrying even today after the message about things that don't really matter. I'm just so thankful that I not only serve an almighty God that knows every detail of my life, but also that he loves me enough to forgive me when I stumble and fall day after day. Can I get an amen?!

Blessed be YOUR name...
So here I was about to launch into this long whiny blog post and I decided to journal first (yes I keep a journal AND a blog...I blog more than I journal lol). I started out and then kind of just stopped and smiled. I was about to write this whole entry about how my life is so confusing and so horrible and I felt myself falling back into the person that I was. That's not who I want to be anymore and when I really looked at what I was whining about I just laughed. In the end it doesn't matter. God knows every intricate detail of my life...why should I sweat if so and so likes me or not? I mean really...lets think about this. Why should I waste my time worrying about things God already knows? I want to do what HE wants for my life anyway. He'll bring the right person along at the right time at the right place. I don't want to screw that up so why even try and mess with it?
I find myself coming back to moments like this every week. I keep catching myself falling backwards into old habits and old routines. This is not good my friends but I'm thankful that God has been changing my heart so I can recognize when I'm starting to fall backwards and I can stop and pray for peace, encouragement, or strength to make it through. God is so good. I can't help but be thankful for all he's done in my life this summer.
My thoughts are so scattered right now and its hard to hold a thought but I'll leave you with this. The attitude I want to have in my life is best said in a very popular praise and worship song...Blessed Be YOUR Name. No matter what happens in my life blessed be your name.

blessings and love
Can I just state one more time how much I truly love the rain? I was driving home tonight from a friends house watching it hit my windshield and sang to my hearts content my praises to God. It was wonderful and I just can't explain how much I loved it.
When I think of my life a few words come to mind. Blessed and loved are the big ones. I am so blessed beyond what I deserve. God has provided so much for me and I can't believe how wonderful it is that I serve the Almighty Creator. I am also loved so much by not only God but my family, my mother in particular. My family's been through a lot. Those of you that know me personally and know my story can attest to that. I can't complain though, God had his hand in every situation and has made us each stronger because of what we've gone through. Maybe I'll dedicate a post sometime to my testimony. Praise be to God though, seriously. I am nothing without Him and I'm so thankful for the changes that have happened this summer. God you are so good to me.

money money money....
This will just be a short post really...
I love how frustrating money can be. Sometimes I wish it just didn't exist and that everything was free. Now I realize that's completely illogical but I'm just saying...it would be nice. I wouldn't have to sit at my computer and finagle numbers and fill out applications with a MILLION questions about what I'm doing to e-mail my financial aid counselor (who according to my "entrance counseling" is supposed to be super helpful) doesn't seem to exist at Indiana Wesleyan. Funny how that goes right? I'm not going to stress it or fret it. I'll just spend a great deal of time on the phone with them tomorrow in order to get it all filled out. I'm trying to look at it like this....atleast its better than being on the phone with Falush in India trying to fix your HP laptop. They're from Indiana...how hard can they be to understand?
It's nice when you have your friends check in on you. Especially when you've asked them to and they remember. Friends are great....I'm pretty much blessed beyond what I deserve!
Oh lovely, I get to work until 3 am today...Praise the Lord I have a job.

rain rain...you can stay!
There is something so beautiful about the rain. I love the idea of running through the rain with your friends, spinning around in circles or sitting next to a window at a coffee shop sipping on your favorite mocha or latte. Then of course there is that uber romantic moment of that spectacular kiss in the rain with the one you love. There is also something so relaxing and soothing about it. The sound of it hitting the window is enough to make me drift off into a peaceful night of rest. I don't know what it is...I just really like the rain. Now weeks and weeks of rain would not be good for me....I find my mood is highly affected by the weather by an occasional rainy day is definitely something I look forward to.
I'm begining to grow impatient and anxious for school. I know it'll be here before I know it, but I'm growing tired of the "you're still here?!" and the occasional "when do you leave again?" Trust me guys, I want to leave just as much as you apparently want me to. I know they probably don't really mean it the way they make it sound but I'm ready to get back out of Toledo. I miss my friends from school. I miss my country boys, my 2 West West girls...not to mention my friends with amazing music taste, my melon smashing buddies, and my big goofy Travis. I want to have a set routine for each day and while I love sleeping in, I miss my mornings. I'm also looking forward to Summit. The worship is always so wonderful during Summit week and I haven't heard a speaker I didn't like. Moral of the story is...September 8 can you please hurry up?

rants rambles and updates...
So much for an alliteration...It's been a while since my last post...many things have happened...
I'm very blessed for a number of reasons...
I'm very blessed for a number of reasons...
- Sadie Lynn Kollar
-I have a beautiful new niece. She is going to be my little princess until I Lord willing have one of my own. She is just so precious. I'm so excited to see her grow up and even though she lives kind of far away, I'm hoping to see her as much as possible. God blessed my sister with a healthy little girl and a fairly easy labor. I'm praying that the transition to 2 children is as easy as possible for her but only time will tell I suppose... - Friendships old AND new
-I've had the privilege of meeting some new friends in the past few weeks and they're a riot let me tell you. It's funny how people can surprise you...I've known some of these people or known of them for 5+ years and I had no desire to get to know them. I don't know if it was because I was just to proud to meet them or what my deal was, but like I said...people can surprise you. I'm forming the type of friendships with some of them where I can talk to them about anything and while I have a few of them already it doesn't hurt to have more. To quote the Babysitters Club (yes...I like that movie...don't judge me) "My mom says if I can count the number of true friends I have on one hand I'm insanely blessed. Well I have 5 fingers and more than 5 friends. I'm lucky..." Well that may not be an exact quote but I think you get the gist. This year has been very...interesting for me. I have formed what I think to be really strong friendships with some people that I've known for years and rarely talked to and at the same time I've seen some of my best friendships fizzle down to awkward glances, forced smiles, and uncomfortable conversation. People change...I get that...but its just sad to see. - Jesus
-He has been doing such a work in my life this summer. He's placed people in my life that won't let me BS my way through a conversation and will flat out tell me that I'm wrong. While it all started back in March...old habits die hard. The first couple months of summer were full of stupid mistakes and stupid choices. Enter the people that will tell me when I'm wrong and stupid....Everything is all so recent with me and it's hard to fully describe what it is that's been happening. Conviction is a big part of it and so is repentance. Those are two things that have been happening a lot. Things that I used to have no problem doing or saying I'm now convicted about because they're well...WRONG. It's amazing how messed up our thinking can get at times. The way we justify doing something based on the standards non-Christians hold. It's so easy to play the "well I'm not as bad as HE is" game. Newsflash...we are not the judge of right and wrong...God is and He has high standards. It's been a big summer in my life and with school just around the corner I'm eager to see what God has in store...

LOVE letters...
I'm not artistic...in any sense of the word. I've been told I'm creative though. I think that's a load too, but I guess I'll take the compliment. The past couple weeks I've been thinking a lot about the decorations I want to have in my room at school and in my "creative genius" I came up with the idea of letters. Well my first set of letters, or my DFTBA letters as I refer to them, turned into a bit of a disaster...my hand isn't as steady as it used to be and my paisley stenciling looks...well pitiful. I still haven't decided if I'm going to re-do them yet. My second set of letters though hold a bit more of importance. They are my LOVE letters. While they're still in the process of being done, they're turning into basically what I was hoping for. On each letter, I have different verses about the concept of 'love'. The verses range from Romans 8:38-39, where it talks about how nothing can seperate us from the love of God, to 2 John 1:6 "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love." I'm hoping that every time I look at these letters I remember to love the people around me. When I say love, I mean like LOVE...not just tolerate. I feel like I don't love as much as I should. According to Jesus, that's the second greatest commandment, to love your neighbor as yourself. That's a concept I'm still working on...keep in mind I'm under construction...so pardon my dust.
On a side note, I love hymns. Chris Rice has a CD of hymns that he added his own personal touch to and in Chris Rice fashion, they're wonderful. One that I seem to listen to a lot is the Old Rugged Cross. Each verse brings its own sense of hope for me. Without that cross I have no hope. I deserve death and complete separation from God. Its reasons like this that I am so thankful for the cross. Jesus Christ died my death so my sins could be pardoned. Knowing the horrible things that I've done and knowing the inevitable sins of my future....I've never been more thankful for that cross where he bled and died to take away my sins....

I'm Not Who I Was...
So there is a song out on K-Love and other Christian radio stations called I'm not who I was. I am obsessed with this song....you should definitely listen to it. I ended up buying one of his cds and found myself really relating to his lyrics...not to mention I really like his style...
School is just around the corner and I have to ask myself....are these changes I've fought so hard for going to stick? What happens when I'm not around the people that have been so influential in helping me change? Today at church, my friend Adam asked me a really important question and told me to let it "marinate" (his words not mine...) He asked me about all the changes in my life have been for a boy, or for God. I kind of just looked at him thinking to myself...wow I really can't believe he just asked me that question...what kind of a person does he think I am? Then I thought back to just the things I shared with him from my past...and saw what he meant. Adam is probably one of the few people that I am 100% honest with. He has this beautiful way of telling you straight up what he's thinking. When you've done something stupid...he lets you know and he and I have shared a lot of those moments. When he puts on that certain face with the furrowed eyebrows and points that finger at you....you know you're in for a little bit of a lecture, but you know sometimes I need that. So when he asked me that question I was caught off guard and even though I gave him my answer without letting it marinate, I stand by my answer. These changes weren't for a boy. Don't get me wrong...this boy is pretty great but all in all I've finally realized that before I get into a relationship with someone else, I need to have a solid relationship with the only person that really matters and that would God. I can't really explain what he's been doing in my life, other than slowly changing me. I realize how undeserving I really am and wonderful the gift of grace is. I can't believe how much time I've wasted trying to make myself happy and living for myself. That's not the person I want to be and I realize thats the person that I was. I'm not who I was. I don't ever want to be that person again and I'm excited about the new things that God is doing in my life now...
Isaiah 43:18-19
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See! I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
...I'm aware of the person that I used to be and I realize change doesn't happen overnight, but I'm heading that direction and even though I don't have to answer to you, I'm determined to show you that its a genuine change. Just give me time...
