Well, I had a great day at church tonight. I teach 4th to 6th grade at the church on wednesday nights, tonight's lesson was on trusting God. and Mrs G. said I did a great lesson bc one on my girls had to learn to trust in Him that hard way, and there were lots of tears, but I felt so awesome to be with her during that time in her life. It was awesome.

Lord, I thank you so much that you gave me the words to say and the opportunities to bring someone closer to you. Lord, I thank you that you have given me wonderful friends and especially a person that is going to help me grow in so many more ways. Lord I pray that you watch over everyone I love and anyone that needs you. Lord I pray that whoever reads my blog that they see how great you are and will ask questions or just start thinking about you Lord. I also ask that you use me in more ways through the week and that everything just clicks in place. Lord, I also ask that you give me the strength to trust you as I taught my kids at church today and I ask that you take them into your arms and hold them through the week and that they have the strengh to look to you and trust you also. I ask all this in your name,

Amen

Verse for tonight: Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."

My eyes were opened very wide tonight. God did some amazing things to me tonight at the small group bible study I go to on tuesdays... I brought Casey to it tonight and we talked about the 4 spiritual laws...

1) God loves you and created you to know Him personally.
2) Man is sinful and seperated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love.
3) Jesus christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love.
4) We must individually recieve Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know God personally and experience His love.

There was this girl that came tonight, she is in one of my classes at school, she really opened my eyes to the world because of what she was saying... I will not repeat what she said but I will look at people in a majorly different light and attitude from now on. I am now her accountability partner too. Together we will get her back on the path to God!

Another new thing: I spent the night at Casey's yesterday and today her mom and her went to the dr. and they went to the book store b4 going to the dr and she bought me the purpose driven life book. it is awesome, for the next 40 days I will hopefully be writing in this about the book and what is says.. looking forward to it!

Lord, this is a simple pray tonight, I ask you to watch over all my loved ones and be with everyone during their week. I pray that the people that are having a hard time look up to you nad that you carry them through it and be with them Lord. I thank you for the awesome friendships you are building with me in other people and I know that they are a work from you. I also thank you for bringing Jeremy back in one piece and I pray that you do your will and work with us and build and mold us to fit your plan God. Please watch and lift up any and all who need you. In your name,

Amen.

This weekend was awesome! I got to meet some really amazing girls and even some wmen that I can look up too... The purpose driven life... thats the book! anyway, I think I have found my calling. I am called to teach JR. High students... they're lust for life and God is amazing and it strengthens me when I get the chance to talk with them.

On a different note, I got to bond with a girl that I didnt really know that is a little bit older than me. This girl is truely amazing and I had the chance to see God work in her this weekend, and I got the chance to see her grow and become more hungry for God also. This weeknd was an awesome thing and time.

Lord, I want to personally thank you, for stepping out of your busy time of worship to listen to me, I wnt to lift Brock up to you Lord, and I pray that you bless him in so many ways that only you know how. God I thank you for encourging him to invite me along and I thank you that you made it possible for me to go this weekend. I really know that you work in so many wonderful ways that I can only imagine. Lord, i ask you to cover everyone in my heart and everyone that needs you tonight God and Lift them in your mighty arms... In your holy name,

Amen

this weekends verse was: Revelation 3:18

I went to RLU tonight, IT was awesome!!!!! RLU is a college bible study that rocks! we talked about reaching out to the people who dont believe god is real and others like that. It was truely amazing. I knew God brought be to this bible study today for a reason. It is amazing how He works in so many ways... I love Him so much! I met this awesome girl tonight, her name is Amy and she is new to TX. I invited her to come to the small grop on tuesday nights at Erica's. It should be awesome... We are gonna meet somewhere on 45 for her to follow me to Erica's house. Guess I wont be stopping at Starbucks that night, hehe!

I went to my bible study at ACOC and it went pretty well, I didnt feel God speak to me this time, hmm.. Guess I just wasnt listening very well to that he was saying... Today was very boring bc all I did at work was read the bible and a magazine. I text messaged Kaysie a few times and went to Banium's house for a bit too. I made her little brother do his homework, I dont understand why they cant get along very well meh! i dont know, well I am off to another bible study in clear lake, take care and remember God chose you! Eph 1:4

Well it has been a long time huh? Sorry for not posting, Life just got in the way.... So how is everything out there in cyber land? Things here are good, Brock, Jess, Amber and I went to taco bell tonight after church and jess gave me a taco and the 2 girls and I shared a DP.

Church was ok, well the beginning was awesome, I love to sing but my mom tells me I cant sing my way out of a paper bag... Meh, So I teach this class on Wednesday nights. It;s a group of kids from 4th grade to 6th grade and some have attitudes and behaviors that make it seem like I'm teaching 2 year olds to 18 year olds... BAH! It went ok after I got my brother to settle down, I finally ignored him around the end of class... Today's lesson was giving up rights for God. I challenged the kids tonight to give something up for a week. I am giving up the TV, there goes my daily TV time for the week... Oh well I can do it for God.

ACOC (Alvin Church of Christ) is having a teen retreat this weekend, We are going to Columbus, TX and this is my first retreat to go on that I am not actively participating in. I am being a sponsor this time. Should be exciting, I'm a little nervous although I don't know why... I know this is gearing me up for my time as a youth minister... Well I am signing off and going to bed. I have to work tomorrow morning. I work at the college library.

Bible verse to remember: Ephesians 1:4 "For he chose you, before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in his sight."

isn't that an awesome verse? Knowing god chose Me! I leave you with this prayer:

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me the breath to make it one more day. One day has gone by and that leaves me with one day closer to being in heaven with you. I thank you for everything you have giving me today and the countless number of times you have shown through normal things that could only happen because of you. I want to lift up all the people and families and churches that are hurting for you and that need you lord. I pray that you open their hearts to receive you and for you to carry them through their time of need. Lord you are so awesome and I sit here amazed at the work and glory that you have bestowed upon me. Lord I thank you for everything you do, and please forgive me of my sins and bless everyone that I may come into contact with today and may you use me to reach out to them. In your name,

Amen
