our God is an awesome God :]
hey y'all.
its been awhile again. i know. things are busy. family was down for Christmas. which was good :] Happy Birthay Jesus :]]! so i wanted to tell y'all something. its pretty cool. i prayed this morning about how i want God to use me, and give e a chance to witness to a lost person. well my friend Zach is an atheist, and he decided to tell me about that today, and i got the chance to witness to him! it was soo amazing because i JUST prayed to God about how i wanted him to use me, and to give me the chance to witness to someone about how great he is, and he spoke through me to Zach today. im not sure how Zach is feeling, hes not ready yet, but the seed is planted, and if Jesus needs to speak through me more, im more than happy :] weston also got the chance to witness to Zach, and that was pretty cool. because weston used to be an atheist. so hes got a pretty good perspective on that sort of stuff.
so i just thought i'd share with y'all how God used me today :] it was pretty great.
i love y'all!
pray for Zach.
& pray for me.
God Bless!

wednesdayy
hey y'all!
today...lets see. i got up, went to school...got made fun of by chadley, as usual. came home, went and gave evan [my 6 year old boogerman] his Christmas present & then it was off to church, where mitchell decided it would be amusing to hit me with a large ball multiple times and push the table into my head. gosh hes such a dork. but im glad hes feeling better. anyways, we finished watching the nativity story, which was really great. it makes me admire Joseph and Mary for what they had to endure. and to see our savior being born. even on a movie, it just made me think about how he was born, marked for death, born to die for us, for our sins. and how big of a sacrifice that really was. its pretty much amazing what he did for us. and so we really need to remember the real reason for Christmas. sure the giving and getting is great. but we have to remember Christmas is really all about celebrating the birth of our wonderful savior, Jesus Christ. who gave everything, including his own life, so that we might be saved. so just remember...Jesus is the real reason for the Christmas season!!
i love y'all
God Bless!

its been awhile
hey y'all!
i know, its been FOREVER. but things have been really difficult lately. still are. God is here though, and i can feel him. and i have faith. i just need y'all to pray for me. Eric preached a great sermon sunday night. and the praiseband did greatt tonight. 3 guitars, keyboard, & drums + the singers= yay we have a full band. im excited for sunday. i'll try to type a devotion tomorrow. yes i am still doing my devotions, i just havent really felt up to writing lately. but hopefully ill start back tomorrow. i would tonight, but i have a headache.
but ima talk about faith.
bad things happen. its inevitable. but they test our faith. i've had alot of trials lately, and i've been super depressed, but i realize that everything with be okay, b.c i have Jesus and he wants whats best. and if its meant to happen, Jesus will make it happen. so you just have to realize you HAVE to have faith.
Hebrews 11:1 says, "now faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"
it really is. i cant physically see Jesus, but hes here. and without faith, i have no hope. so faith, is what keeps me goin. faith in Jesus Christ. so i ask you...do you have faith in Jesus?
i love y'all
God Bless!

blessings
hey y'all!
today was alright. thursdays arent ever that great. it was b-day, but it wasnt too awful. except for i totally FAILED my spanish quiz. and dance was alright, i learned this really cool new kick. now right now ima just write this then read my bible & then hopefully talk to mitchell. and maybe candace. i havent really got to talk to her today. this old lady whos SOOO sweet at lunch gave me&ash&candace a brownie today. shes so sweet. i just love her. we call her our grandma. haha.
so i did my devotion on blessings. God gives us many blessings, how should we respond to them? with honor and praise to God of course!
Exekiel 34:28 says, "I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessings." if we do Gods will and we follow his commandments, he will bless us greatly. here on earth, and in heaven. all we have to do is follow him.
Genesis 12:2-3 says, "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (NKJV) God tells Abram [Abraham] that he will bless his family and make a great nation out of them and without knowing everything Abraham just leaves and trusts God to bless him, we should all be like that. when God tells us he is going to bless us we shouldnt question it. we should just believe him. he will never break a promise. he always means what he says.
Psalm 145:8-9, "The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made." the Lord blesses everyone who accepts him. he is gracious, and he is compassionate towards everyone. he LOVES us. all we have to do is trust in him, and ask him to forgive us of our sins.
so count your blessings! because God has blessed you in many ways. and dont make it a secret! tell others!
i love y'all!
God Bless!
