glad to be back!!!

You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. ~Exodus 18:18

So i apologize for not being on in a few months...school heavily got in the way, but God is showing me a easier way to approach things. A big life lesson currently is he never gives me more than I can handle, I just choose sometimes to TAKE more than I need. Yeah fourteen credit hours was an mistake. Especially when it included Anatomy and an Lab, which two weeks ago I dropped.
After I looked over my advising guide and looking at University of South Florida prerequisites, it looks like I won't have to take Anatomy after all. Hallelujah!!! I will admit all of this is just a blessing, and I have a lot more peace.

I'm really excited for the rest of this year...I pray God, will show me different opportunities to serve. With this load off, now I can actaully spend more time with him, which i'm so relieved because I really really really missed my full-time with my adonai.

Anyways I hope all is well. I will post again soon.

What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

..back to reality

Wow, i can't believe the summer is almost over. God, I thank you sooooooooooooo much for the past 6 weeks to server as a teacher, and counselur to all those kids. It's such a gut good feeling, when I see kids on fire for their savior, and just growing in the spirit. I pray I will get to do it again next summer. God definitly went beyond my expectations. Seeing God use me as a comfort, wisdom and just a friend to these kids was just so touching to my soul.

Its weird coming home I will admit, alot it happening, but I'm so steadfast in my faith and haha I am going no where ;)

Yes Lord!!!

It's been a pretty sweet experience. These recent two weeks have been such a privilege, that I just don't know how to thank him enough. It's kind-of hard to type at 8:00am while the past two weeks you live on 5 hours of sleep max each night. I love what I'm doing, and he hasn't given me a situation I can't handle. These kids are a blessing in my life. Senior camp I really got to open up and counsel boys that I honestly thought couldn't learn a single thing from me.

I've learned God can use your gift, and your testimony to glorify him in different ways. He's even deepened my passion for the lost, and lonely. If we say we wanna help save the world, that means everybody needs the chance to learn God's salvation. If we won't give our neighbor/classmate the time of time, we are hindering them the kingdom. Jesus didn't just die for one set of people, but the Jews and Gentiles..EVVVEEERRRRYYYYOONNNEEE!!!! It's time to put away all childish insecurities. Anyways, I will be back on later, i'm going back to sleep lol.

Off to Camp..

I honestly don't know what to expect!!! I've never been to camp before. I have faith that anything is possible to result. God is faithful as well, and I believe 1 corinthians 2:9..No eye has seen, no ears have heard of what he has planned for those who love him. It just excites me!!! Keep my mind focused on the kingdom, and everything else will fall into place!!! Here we go!!! I will be back on next weekend!

Deliverance..Thank You!

Psalms 32:7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

the pathway of a Christian is a calling of sacrifice, giving up your life to serve so much more beautiful and bigger than you've ever imagined. The verse "tho there is pain in the offering blessed be your name"..just came to my mind today. God forgives us everyday, and every second. In 1 Peter it says "take delight in the suffering you will endure because it glorifies the father". This could me physically, emotionally etc. For me recently I've witnessed how deep this forgiveness touches. Though I'm facing consequences from my past I really don't care because it's only the world. Only a fool lets anything stand in the way of the father. I'm not afraid anymore, i am victorious in his name.
He carried the cross, so I can stand on and move mountains, how great is that? lol. I've been forgiven, he has forgotten my sins and that is all that matters so its time to glorify this incredible savior who has delivered us. Prepare your shield, sharpen your sword...the battles we face may seem horrible but with God..haha..its kids play ;)..!!!

oh how he takes delight in his servants!!!


Okay I had no idea what to call this post, so don't be shocked if it looks like the title has nothing to do with the rest. Today I just had a lot on my mind. About relationships, and I had a little devotion today about feeling useless. If I remember correctly its either Corinthians or Galatians, "be enthusiastic serving the Lord" "when the time comes for a harvest the reaping will be a blessing" something along that line. This was a big devotion in the scorching sun lol. It was a very big encouragement. I still struggle with that sometimes but we need to remember we can serve God in multiples ways, as long and we are surrendering out hearts. Praise be to the father, that watches over us and understands our hearts better than we do ;)...

..4th of July & Thoughts...

Happy 4th of July Everybody! I pray everyone keeps this nation in your prayers, we need continuous revival. I salute all those who have served, are serving, and are soon to serve. It's been a beautiful weekend even with the rain. My challenge for everyone is to sit down and just realize how much freedom we have in this country called United States of America. What's more incredible is the outstanding freedom we have in the name of Jesus. It puts everything in a new perspective.

Off to see Toy Story 3 with the family, then heading to Livewire. Those who don't know livewire is the student ministries at my Dover Advent Church! Have a great day!
