Okay So heres the deal, I was supposed to go to my old church today to be there for the youth...Well I woke up late today (the church is 5 min away though so that usually doesnt hurt me too bad) anyway So Right in the middle of getting ready I felt this need to go to my new church instead. It was crazy. So I talked to my mom and we decided to go to my new church (she still goes to my old church...because of my mamaw) The new church is right by my house. We walk to it. Anyway so I go there today...Three amazing things happened.
A friend of the family has offered to...kind of sponser me in school. I'm her mission she wants to support from now on! HOW AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL is that? I mean God really blessed there because a lot of the people that had promised me help arent helping anymore...
Then I was talking to another friend of the family at church as well. She has offered me a little odd job of teaching her things to do online and on the computer! I've been needing a job this summer so this small job is such a blessing to me and will help me save some money.
THEN The church has decided to ask me to help around and things like that and once the youth start coming they really want me to work with them! I'm just so amazed at the doors that God is opening for me. He's shown me so much today alone! I mean its just a beautiful thing. I'm SO excited.
Also today I've decided to rearrange my room. It's looking sweet so far. It will be looking like a little exercise/studio tech room. haha I love it. I'll also be helping around with friends and family getting their houses in order. This week is my mom and best friends house, and sometime very soon I need to go over to mamaws and help her and then who knows I might help my aunt out next. I just love all thats going on right now. My room is about to be in order too. After that its the rest of the house. Its just really awesome.
okay I've rambled enouth! Be back later my loves! GOD BLESS!!! :)

Awesomeness
Well I just seem to have more and more to talk about every day! lol which is Ironic...I'm not at school right now so not much is happening to me. Anyway...
So today I spent 3 hours with my best friend of 8 years, Anna!! It's insane for us that we've been friends this long. We've actually known each other for 10 years though. It was a lot of fun, we were just thinking about how we were in HS and how things have changed but how we still are so close even though our lives are in different directions. It's pretty awesome.
I found myself reading the Bible a lot today and when I say a lot I MEAN it! I couldnt put it down, and then when I wasnt reading that I was reading some of my fun fan fictions that has just become fun reading for me. something to help keep my brain at proper mush level!! LOL
Seriously though I'm reading Still Growing by Kirk Cameron. I'm LOVING that book its just so neat to read about his life, and struggles. And the fact that I'm reading the Bible more I just pray that I keep up with that. God is just so awesome and I love this feeling of being so close to Him.
I keep thinking about how...tomorrow is saturday then sunday I'll be going to church! Amazing things are going to happen this coming sunday...I just feel it...God is going to move.
Then theres the following week, Anna and I are already making time to hang out for next week and I HAVE to make progress of the cleaning of this house. No more excuses...oh and I get to start working out next week! Goodbye to 75 pounds...at least I hope. I just want to be healthier.
Well I think I've rambled enough. I'm really enjoying typing in this blog now. gives me a chance to be even more open than I can on my facebook or Myspace...
I guess it helps that no comments means more than likely no one is reading....LOL byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

A lot of things
I've been doing a lot of thinking today. Mom and I went shopping and I had so much fun, I was able to see some good friends of mine AND get a Veggie Tales cd and DVD. I got some new hair ties and pins for my hair. And some new sun glasses. But thats not the reason I'm blogging.
First off I'm starting to make up for lost time huh?! LOL!
Anywhodiddy...I've been doing a lot of thinking today. I'm so thankful for that renewal I experienced last night. It brought me out of a dark time I was experiencing and I KNOW that it was a God thing...almost imediatly I could feel the devil trying to get at me! God was faithful as always and everything is ALL AWESOME! :)
Today I've done a lot of thinking about my ministry. About God's calling on my life. And honestly I'm SO in love with Him and the fact that He sees me- A woman, with a brain problem, as a person that He wants to reach the youth of today! I'll blog later about my brain problem to inform my readers even though I dont think anyone actually reads this. lol Well back to my thoughts of today....
I've had a lot of different reactions to me being in youth ministry. Some are touched, some that have known me since a kid say that they've thought I'd end up in youth ministry since I was a kid. Others tell me I'm going to Hell. Some say that I'm going against God and I should check myself. There are some that say nothing and glare. Well God knew that I was a woman when He called me into youth ministry. He has created me and called me into that ministry. Do you want to know how I know this.
I have known since a kid that God has wanted me to do something involving telling people about Him. I thought it would be music like my dad...but things happened and that wasnt it. So I thought...Journalism! Nope. Well then there was teaching. Classroom teaching is not my thing. The majority of kids today are hard to teach in a classroom setting (my mother and several of my friends are teachers) And one day God laid youth ministry on my heart. I said no.
NEVER say no to God! It doesnt go well- Jonah's story shows us that...but still we say no sometimes. And I did. Well God then laid it on my heart to go to a youth ministry convention with people from my school. Funding for that came out of no where! It was AMAZING. Next thing I know I'm in Chicago raising my hands in worship telling God that I'll be in whatever ministry he wants...I look around and see my friends, people that understood me like no one I'd ever met. and I fell to my seat. One of my friends said "welcome to youth ministry" They'd been praying that I would answer God's call on that trip and I did.
I used to think Women in ministry was wrong. Using Scripture to back up that point....well...let me just tell you....God changed my heart inside and out REAL quick.
I'm just so...thankful that I have so many friends and family that back me up. People see the things God is doing through me...and it's just so refreshing to know that God gives us gifts to use us to speak to others.
All the while He changes us and molds us...He calls us to higher things! Oh Praise His name! Amen!!!!

My life has been changed. AGAIN
Well He did it again! God did it again. I was sitting here...opening my heart to God without even realizing it...And through that I have finally answered a call He placed on my life when I was 17-18 years old. I didnt realize until tonight that he'd been calling me to make a certain vow to Him. One that I mean with everything in me. And I will stick to this. Then I opened God's word...and I honestly cried. God has just changed my life....I'm 22 years old...been a Christian since July 16th 1994...Soon that will be 14 years!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for my spiritual birthday this year and I cant wait to share with my mother whats happened in my life tonight...but for now it's bed time...and I really should sleep no matter how hard it may be I do have to get up somewhat early in the morning...But thats okay because I get to go to a Christian Book Store :) God Bless to all of you and I just pray that each of you that read this if anyone does get's touched by God like I've been tonight!
