so i went to bed around 3am because i wasn’t tried… and then i woke up at 7am which is crazy because everyone knows i love my sleep but i honestly am not tired so here i am… there is a lot on my mind and i need to get it out…. today is feb, 20 , 2008 and its my nieces birthday she is three years old and i cant believe it i talked to her on the phone this morning she isn’t suppose to be able to talk she was just born or at least that s the way i feel…. i know im not the first one to discover this but life goes by so fast…. this really gets me thinking life is literally so short and we waste so much time worrying about what am i going to do instead of just doing and worrying if i do that what will others think? seriously its time to get over ourselves stop worrying so much…. if we confess to stand with Christ alone why do we live as thou we are all alone and that we are in capable of doing things when we are suppose to know our creator which should make thing a whole lot easier… while those who are “lost” are doing great things and those of us who are suppose to be found… seem to be more confused and lost than the “lost”…. so im am moving forward and really standing on christ alone because i cant do it by myself but with all things are possible… don’t waste this power and peace that Has been given to you…..

staff is gone for a week in phoenix time to PARTY… no just kidding i have way to much respect for them and who God has made me to loose all dignity just because they aren’t here to watch my every move… but it is fun to pretend to be rebellious just for a second….
any ways today was weird not having staff around… no katie graham hugs… no alex to keep us in perfect order… no pachi during academics saying “i just love you kelly” aka “your funny” or “ben and steve where are you suppose to be” no one to throw my sarcasm at (matt) and none of his crazy voices…. the lovely jess langdons seat is empty for once and she has left me and karen and amanda with one of her many responsibilities girls roots (i am honored)… there will be no random visits from carrie this week… dan freedom center just didn’t feel as free this week with out you there…. yesmine i dont know how im going to make it through this week with out communications dont they know how important communication is and to top it all off i dont know how im going to make it without my weekly mtg with pj not that i always want to go because he always raises the bar im not sure i can jump any higher you think i would stop walking into them when i know he has mastered all of my ways to change the subject… with all that said I MISS YOU ALL and its only been one day…
BUT i must say the to second years you are all amazing you can see how much you have changed from the beginning of the year… honestly things ran so smooth that i really did forget staff was gone most of the day… you all did a great job even when somethings got crazy you handled it very well… leah i have to give a personal shout out to you… you are an amazing leader this morning devotional was right on it made me think the rest of the day that is success in my book and might i add she put Egyptian rat screw in our schedule that made my day even better…
Today was amazing i learned that you cant rely on leaders to do everything… You need to put responsibility on your self or what will you do when they really aren’t in your life any more. Do you expect them to call you everyday to check up on you.. i don’t think so… Its time to grow up and age has nothing to do with it. its all about knowledge if you have learned it use it. What good is a car if it just sits in your drive way it will rust, the wheels will go flat and the city may even have it removed if its not being used… is that what you want to do with knowledge you have been given just forget about it because the person who gave it to you isn’t filling it with gas anymore… its time to buy your own gas and use what has been given to you… God has so much if only we would let him mold us and pimp our ride…
p.s i dont why i used a car as an example hey it is what it is have a great day…
i know i haven’t written in a while life has been crazy… in a good way… but honestly im not going ti write anything huge tonight because it has been a long day i went and served tables at a light for the lost dinner it was good there were 800 people there it was amazing… i was in charge of five tables and might i just add i have no experience in waitressing it was an adventure i will never get upset when my drink is wrong at a restaurant again because no matter how hard i tired i kept on messing up who was who and who had what…it was fun… the entire events purpose was to raise money to buy fire bibles to give away to those who cant get bible or who cant afford one… i don’t know how much they raised but i know it was a lot…. God is so good… well time for some shut eye…

so Christmas break is over and its a new year… 2007 i can honestly say was a hard year a lot happened in my life… but through all the junk i learned a lot my issues pushed me closer to God they made me depend on God like i never have before… i strongly believe God will put us in situation to remind us who He is and Has always been we just seem to forget so easily… what was God for you in 2007 how did he change your life?
He trurned my life up side down and im not sure im quite back upright yet but im getting there God has already this year done major things in my life he is continually confirming to me who he promised to be and who i need to be through him… this year is going to be a great year for me i can feel it new beginnings how do i know? God told me… we were at winter retreat this past weekend and on the last night pastor Jeremy spoke on run with the ball it was anointed God presence was so heavy in that chapel and God spoke to me and confirmed some things in my life… at the end of the service we all found our own places to pray and God spoke to me and said before you leave here tonight you will be broken for me… at first i thought it was just me because the service was like over so i went and sat back in my row and not even five minutes after one of my leaders came and spoke a word over me and God broke me… dont always think you are just making stuff up in your head God really does speak to us so listen and be ready for what ever he may have for you in this new year and season of your life…
this year will be your best year so far if you let God take control of what really belongs to him in the first place… your life…
there are going to be things in our lives that will happen that we will have no control over… but we as humans…try to fix thing our way or take control of what was never meant to be in our control to begin with…some things we just will never be able to do ourselves so you have to give it to God he is the only one who can handle those types of things plus he the best one to give anything to… he is all knowing… he is our healer…our father…protector… provider…HE IS OUR EVERYTHING… LET HIM BE IN YOUR LIFE…
it wont be easy at first but it will be worth it

so i went to starbucks with one of my best friends and we had some good conversation on the way home about all the change in our lives….
change is a great thing its does alot to a person
it can show you alot about your self and some of the stuff you like and some you wont and know you need to change…
it can be a change of scenery which can teach you that God is the same no matter where you go its just up to us to find him and let be apart of you and change you.
change is a choice you have to want it or you can just enjoy the ride and be the same at the end…which i dont suggest get all you can when you are in a season of change take every opportunity you have to learn and grow.
change isn’t easy all the time, it can be very difficult at times,(1)because some thing you will not be able to control and you will have to put it in Gods hands even when you wish you could be in control… (2) it WILL push out of your comfort zone to a place you have never been or allowed your self to go.(3) it WILL make you face things you have been avoiding.
Change is so good it lets you know there is a light at the end of the tunnel
change is what we all need at some point of our lives if we never changed think about it we would all still be helpless infants thank God for change….
CHANGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE…..
so today i was with my youth pastor just hanging out and we were discussing moving on from things in our lives… issues what ever you have had to move away from in your life or just leave behind…. because there is nothing you can do about a situation… well we where discussing something in my life and i said “well what do you do”…. “Smile and move on” and in my head i was thinking i dont even think i can smile and then a few moments later He said ” or if you cant smile just move on” and it hit me that is so true there will be things in your life that just really suck (excuse my French) and you wont be able to smile but you still need to move on because the only person that is being held back from there future is you… not the person or situation that you dont like…
Let it go before it takes hold of you… believe me it will….
“so today Smile and move on… and if you cant Smile… just move on”
this past week was covenant week it was intense…. God is doing so much its overwhelming at times…for a while now God has been telling me to step out more than i ever have… and I’m A LITTLE stubborn… its not that i don’t want to i just am trying to figure out when its me or God… so its a journey… seriously most of the time it is God i just tell my self it isnt so i dont have to do it ( you know you have done it dont lie)… so the ball it in my hands and now i have to decide what to do with it…
so during this Christmas break you know you are going to have some down time take some time and ask God what he needs you to do or to remind you of times he asked you to do somthing and you said no…
we are all building the walls of our futures some are just in the beginging stages and others are tall but where ever you are there will be things put in your path that will try to stop the process or even destroy parts of your wall so we must be ready at all times to face what ever may come your way…so put your materials in one hand and your sword in the other (nehimiah 4:16-18) (you should read nehimiah its a great book)
listen to the voice of God…and build your wall
i conquered a fear today well do you want to know what it was well today victory church had this huge auction and yard sale and all the profits go to organization in lakeland like teen challenge, big sisters big brothers , shut-in support and homeless shelters ect… any ways also at this function was a blood drive and YES you guessed it i gave blood for the first time it was awesome i feel so good someone is going to live because i gave my blood… but i didn’t want to do it at first i mean just letting some one put a needle in my arm and i wasn’t even sick or anything seem crazy but then the fact that i could help someone really sunk in when i was reminded that god gave his life for me the least i could do is give a little of my blood. so if you get the chance give something today it doesnt have to be literally your blood….but just think of others today…
