Something smells fishy...
So when I was buying the parts of my aquarium I decided to get a nice light fixture. What I didn't realize is that the lighting I bought is classified as high lighting for my tank (as opposed to medium or low lighting) I thought I was getting medium lighting. So I bought some plants mostly from a fellow fish lover at http://www.aquariumadvice.com/ (not only do I keep fish I like to read and talk about them too). Some of them seemed like they weren't doing so well. I found out that because of my high lighting I needed to be adding CO2 and fertilizers for my plants to remain healthy. So instead of shelling out a bunch of money for a CO2 system I tried to try my hand at a DIY CO2 system which failed epically. So I am adding fertilizers and hoping that will be enough.
I had a really hard time deciding what kind of fish I wanted to put in my tank since I am doing a freshwater community tank. I finally decided I was going to start with a big school of rummy nose tetras.
Well because of Nebraska's hard water the rummy nose didn't work out they were to sensitive to it. :( So I had to rethink my stocking ideas (the fish I am going to stock the tank with.) I finally decided to add a school of Black Neon Tetras. I went to PETCO and they were having a sale so I ended up getting 16 for the price of 6!
I took the rest of the rummy nose tetras to the fish store. Now I will let the black neons settle in for a couple weeks before adding anything else, but I am excited because now I have fish again!

Trust
Trust in the LORD and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Psalms 37:3-7 NASB
Lord help me to trust in You
God show me how to find delight in You
Lord I want to wholly commit my life to You
Lord help me to trust in You
Lord help me to trust in You
Show me how to be still for You God
I desire to wait patiently for You
Lord help me to trust in You
Lord I know you'll help me to trust You
I know you'll show me how to find delight in You
I know you'll show me how to be still before You
Lord I know you'll help me to trust in You.
Poetry from the Past
Jesus is my everything
Without Him I wouldn't be anything
His sacrifice is the best gift anyone could ever give
And He offers it to every child of His
He loves us all even though we sin
And He's coming down here to take us back with Him
All we have to do is believe in Jesus
Because no matter what happens He'll never leave us

Lord take my life
This is a song I wrote while I was trying to figure out what to do at the end of my freshman year here at Union. I was struggling in my classes and not sure if I should still do theology but at the same time I had a couple offers to be a taskforce assistant chaplain at an academy.
Lord I don’t know what you’re telling me
But I know you’re telling me something
Oh Lord I don’t know what you want to do with me
But I know you want to do something
Lord take my life
Take me and teach me
Lord show me your will
And help me to follow it right
It doesn’t matter what you’re telling me
Or what it is you want me to do
Because you are my God and my Savior
I’d do anything for You
So Lord take my life
Take me and teach me
Lord show me your will
And help me to follow it right
I want to spread Your love to all people
And show them Your grace
So help me Lord to live each day
In a way that glorifies You
So Lord take my life
Take me and teach me
Lord show me your will
And help me to follow it right
Lord take my life
Take me and teach me
Lord show me your will
And help me to follow it right
