livin lovin life!
well its been a while again, and i mean a few weeks like a month! but a lot has been going on since the last time. School is over for summer, and well i am just busy as i ever am…and i am not sure that its bad….actually i love to be busy….i just wish i had more and more time in a day to do aal that i wished to do. i miss you all and i have been up to so much, but i am going to try my very best to keep you psted every day if i can!! So CEF has begun..its my 3rd year doing this…and for thse of you who dont know what that is, i travel each day to three different locations in my county and i take another person with me…we take the good news of Jesus Christ out to our back yards and usually there are pretty many kids. this comming week i will be in the city…and let me just tell you they are my favrite kind of people…those kids want to hoop and hollar!! hahaha loovee them! it so cool to be able part of jesus family and being used by him to reach these boys and girls! Ggod has bleeOD does some pretty amazing things if you let him. HE has been teaching me that lately, and he has been showing me just how important it is to spend time with him! i actaull have been trying to stay up to date with that each morning…all though i am not in heaven and i am not perfect i still miss some days now and then…but GOD has blessed me with some great friends..and we help keep one another accountable for it in the mornings! can i hear it for GOD!!! WOOOOT WOOT!!!! and yu n what is soo cool…this i have been learning tooo….when you and another believer start talking about GOD…..whoa does god loove ittt…you want some joyy…man go start talking bout him 😀
well thats what has been going on in my life so far…..not too much a lot of learning, but i am begging to like this whole learnin me thing hahaha!
shortest post ever!
so hey i just wanted to stop in and see whats new with all of you!? the weather is just beautiful today isnt it….wow i like your hair! o my word tell me about it….but the other thing , oh did the tell you?! i no right! oo h oh wait i see rain tomorrow…man i was going to mow…better do it now! just a second…i got a message!
SOO…hmm does this sound like some thing you hear? yea it probably is..and sometimes they are comming out of your mouth to. i am gulity of this. but from what i have been learning form youth group…some times its just easier to fall into what every one else is doing, rather then what GOD is doing. your either in or your out, hot or cold….the LIGHT or the DARKNESS. The GOD that we love and want to serve doesnt walk in the dark with out the light….
so how are you walking….or are you stumbling in the dark ?
Summer on the brain
Yea wow it has been like way to long! like for real! although it kind of has looked like i have abandoned my blog, i haven’t…theres just been a lot of things i have been busy with. School is almost over and i have had a lot of work to do for each of my classes before the year is done. Bit i must say i am like way excited for summer!! Just a few weeks ago i had my first meeting for my summer missions with CEF. i have finally got all my stories, and teaching cards!! 🙂 oh and those who are wondering about the whole driving thing. yea its going pretty good…i am getting better and have been safe each time i have been on the road! well i am at school right now as i am writing. haha i don’t know how i am able to be on here right now….for a while they had it blocked….hmmm makes me laugh tho. WOW for a Monday it is going pretty fast, and its actually not a bad day either! Oh and i have a facebook as well…so if you ever want to chat…thats where i am most often. I do want you all to no i have been thinking about you lately and i have been praying for you also. This summer is going to be amazing…although i don’t think i am traveling on a plane any where this year, but i will be transporting myself and another young person around Lancaster county…well for you foreigners its the county that i live in haha, i am so pumped and excited for GOD to work in the back yards of the kids i will be hanging out with and sharing HIS word with. 😀 so what has been new with any of you??!! ok this is going to be like so ADD right now but i am listening to my favorite country song right now…hahaha but umm any way i am at school and hey i think i mentioned that to you already, but from what the clock is telling me, i only have like 15 minutes left!!! YAYAYAYAY!! todays lunch at school was pretty good, we had chicken nuggets and or chili…i chose the safe choice of chicken nuggets. 🙂 well any way, i don’t really no. haha oh yea now i remember what i was going to say..this past weekend i went with my dad and we went shopping 😀 haha yep and we bought flipp flopps…oh yea we are so cool! it was pretty fun! then on like Saturday night i went to youth group that is called Underground. that was fun, but then on Sunday we as a family went to church and i feel like you can really feel GOD int he place during worship and the message! We were learning about how to be a servant and have a servants heart, so i have really been trying hard to put others before myself…i think that is a great challenge…and trust me its not as easy as it sounds. I guess because our first instinct is to be like ohh oh me first, me first. but really we should be like…after you! lol well my dismissal bell will be ringing soon…and i am going to have to go! well til next time…

a beloved with change
so for the past couple of weeks i guess you could say months, i have had some things going through mind….the most important one was change. we had started to attend a church by the name LCBC (lives changed by Christ) and they were doing a study on change. The one thing that stuck out the most to me was, you yourself cant change, its only through Jesus living in you can and will you change. so as sheep of the pasture, i am probably the one who is listening to what the shepherd says, but is also to bissy getting its head un-stuck in the fence by doing nothing. so this is where i found myself after that service, i knew i really wanted a change and for the longest time i have told myself that as soon as i graduate high school i will move myslef to oregon or california. some where but not hear, my reason was because i thought hey thats change and i wont have to see people who i have hurt or people who have hurt me….a fresh start. but you know as i was thinking oof how good this sounded, i felt semi gulity. well up unto a month ago, i had a friend who i have been friends with since the begging of middle school. but out of the clear blue the one day he told me that he never wanted to be my friend again, and uhh as the dumb sheep i am, ha i thought he was totally kidding, mainly cuz he was never know to be serious about anything. so i was like oh come on…haha nice joke. after a few names came out at me, i was pretty sure then that this was no joke. i was really hurt and upset about this. i was like GOD why, this was a question i faced, then it was i no GODs in control. But now the people who i though were my friends werent, and now i feel blessed in a way that they are not. i have been feeling like GOD did this to bring me closer to him, and actually i feel more better with GOD. another thing that i have been faced a lot with is this whole realationship, boy friend girl friend thing at school, its pretty bad, like as i walk down the hall way left and right there are people hugging and kissing, and holding hands and all that relation goo goo stuff. but some times i wonder if theres a person for me. i no GOD has prepared some one for me. i just have to be patient and wait, the things i am worst at haha. Although latley durring my past couple of devotions, i have been learning about love and the joy of GOD, and how you can obtain it and keep it! i herd this song the other weekend as i was looking for some worship music to go with my devotions and its by Tenth Avenue North (as herd on my moms blog) and its called beloved. when this song came on, i could barely keep myself from tears. as listening to the words as if it were GOD talking to me….like he was right beside me! i loved it! and felt so encouraged by it, and i no longer feeel the need to chase after lovers who wont satisfy! The fact that He calls me “his beloved, and says lover i am yours, death can not part us, it was you i died for, for better or worst, forever will be, my love it unights us, and it binds you to me, its a mystery”. (excerpt from the song) So i guess through all this blogging what i have been trying to say is i wanted change and have been trying to change myself for long and have been failing at it for so long. but its amazing what change can take place as soon as you allow GOD to come back into your life, and giving him all your cares, weather it be with friends or with realtionships or past things that you have been going through. IF you want the change, and you want the relationship, GOD will do it, you make the decision every day. the most important is to follow and obey!
who to serve??
Joshua 24:15
Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, weather the gods your forefathers served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD!
I no that i dont always do what is right. And if i am given a choice some times i find myself choosing for the wrong reasons, or because i no what people want me to do. theres often a battle going on in me, the right vs the wrong. some days are worst then others. But in this world that we live in, as a teen there are many things we are faced with, Weather it is with friends, boys, or if your a boy a girl in that case, some times its even choosing to make fun of some one so people think your cool. There are days where i am not sure if theres a difference in me that people can see. My friends they often say “oh ya i believe” but when they are invited to church, they say ” oh ya i believe, but i aint doin that”. But my heart gets so excited when they ask about HIM. Well reciently i have been going through some spiritual changes, and it comes right down to who am i going to serve, the right (GOD) or the wrong (worldly) and it has brought me to a piont where i have been standing in the middle of an intersection, with road signs that say things that are struggles for me to not fall in to, like wrong music, doing what my friends are doing, or doing things that hurt others, but they are soo easy for me to fall in to doing, but the hardest one to follow is the one that i long to follow, GOD. so this past saturday i was in a church service and we were to picture our selfs in a place where there is a huge crowd of people, and we can not see over the people, and to imagine where GOD is in the midst of the crowd, is he beside us, maybe in walking distance, or is HE to far to even see. after visualizing this, i realized how far away i have let myself drift, and before i new it, i was lost in a sea of people, and the only thing that will save me now, is the hand reaching out to me. GODS hand is streached out to us, now its our turn…to reach back out to the hand and keep holding on. Today i am choosing to not listen to something that will pull me closer to the world, and farther form GOD, today i am choosing to treat people the way GOD would, instead of the way the media says to, today i am choosing to be the difference in my friends that i roll with, today i am choosing GOD!
Lord today i give you back all that i am, take my life and make it like yours, help me to be faithful to you, and to be who it is your making me to be. i am sorry that i driffted so far, almost to the point of not looking back. your love is stronger then any thing this world offers. although the world looks pleasing at times, only you can truely satisfy my heart! Please help me to be the difference, the kind that people can actually see. i no that i have made you upset at times, but i pray that i would be able to have you smile down on me at the end of the day! help me to have a spirit like yours and a heart for those who are searching! you love them and they deserve to no! Today lord i am chosing to serve you, this world has nothing for me, and only your can truely help this ever woundering heart! thank you for my family, and for there love to serve you, help me to continue to have a hunger for you and a thirst that continues forever for you! we praise you for who you are and for the blessings you belss us with each day. we love you and we pray that you would help us to just love you more each day and to have the joy that makes them wounder what we have, and make them wish that they were not on the out side looking in! i love you lord, amen. ~princess k~
