I feel dumb

On the chasen cd there is a hidden track. On number 13 you have to wait like a minute to 30 seconds and then the song comes on and it adds to my lists of faves I love it. The chorus I cant stop falling in love I stand in awe of you. That is like my theme song right now in my life. I cant stop falling in love with Jesus. Thats all I want in my life is to live for Him and show people my joy in Him and share the good news. I do stand in awe when I go for walks and see the glory of Jesus in everything. Pastor did part 3 of his sermons on glory and I love them. I LOVE this song I dont care how long I have to wait for it to play I wish it would be faster but it comes in its own time.

I am such a nerd sometimes I drive slower on my way to school so I can listen to more songs on WAY FM. Starting out my day singing praises to Jesus makes my day a million times better. Sometimes I hope for red lights so I can listen. Even though I could just listen to it at school online but its not the same.

Seeing the glory of Jesus

This is part two of last week. Pastors sermons have been AWESOME lately!! We have had so many people go down front and so many people have have come to Jesus. It is amazing. This week we had 2 familes and one person join!!

So about the sermon I loved it and since last week I have seeing the glory of Jesus and this just helps even more.

He used 2 Corinthians 4:4
light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Our goal is to see God's glory and we need to be growing in the glory of Jesus. The gospel of the glory of Christ is the awesomeness of Jesus. It is the Good news. It is where you get to know and see God. He explained when Christ comes down and we see His glory it will be the biggest fireworks show ever. (Matthew 24:30)

His design is to open your eyes. How important is the glory of God to you? When you see the glory of the Lord you are honor Him. You are saved so you can see the glory of the Lord. It is the gospel of the glory of Christ. You need to be growing and want to learn it. If it doesnt interest you then it can lead to sin. (I have experienced that lately. It just makes me feel amazing when I see the glory of Christ)

God gave you a certain amount of glory (Hebrews 2:7) Apply glory to Jesus. We need to display it, protect it, and cherish it.

It was funny in my devotion tonight they talked about glory and the image of God. I have such a desire and want to see the glory of God. We talked about desires in sunday school today and thats what I have been praying for. We talked about desires and following God's will in our lives. He wants us to follow His will and not rely on yourself. He wants us to be the path and trust in Him. I have been praying for His will for awhile now because I want Him to guide me and He is. I know and trust everything is in His timing. I have faith that all is fine and He has the plan for my life. There is nothing for me to worry about.

Today was a GREAT Sunday!!! I LOVE Sundays at church!!!

I should be sleeping...again

It is not as late tonight it is almost 12 am. But I am surviving on 4 hours of sleep. I am very thankful for my friends who got me out of the house today. I am happy though I cleaned up my room a bit. Took out all my clothes and re did my drawers got rid of clothes in them that dont fit me. I went to Ikea for the first time with my BFFL and it was sooo nice and I got an icecream for a dollar. They have a cafeteria in a furniture store really weird but awesome cheap food! I went to a relay for life thing tonight to see my other BFFL tonight. That was fun I just talked with her and kept her awake. I did sooo good I didnt eat any of the food.

Sooooo the lead singer of Chasen has a facebook his name is Chasen how cool is that. I added him. I love these songs they make me smile :) But I tend to like smiles anyways.

That was pretty much my day I should get some sleep. I dont want to be tired for church tomorrow. I hope it doesnt rain tomorrow I want to go for a walk.

I <3 my best friends thanks for EVERYTHING!!!

Its 3 am and I cant sleep

I dont work tomorrow so I am just sitting in my bed listening to music talking to the people who are actually on at 3 am.

I love this song by Chasen God and King. It starts out: Desperately I seek you, deperately I long for your your face. I really do. Thats all how I have been feeling lately. This cd is soo good. I was at the gym today working out to it and praising Jesus. I love when I have workouts like that they make me feel amazing afterwards.

I really love this cd. It is amazing.

Maybe I should try to sleep. I dont want to sleep I its 3:07 and I want to stay up all night. It is night being in my house with everyone asleep with me.

Maybe I will turn on the tv. probably not. my sister is house sitting tonight so i get the room all to myself. so i have the lights on. i like the lights on. I dont know why I am not tired well i am just dont want to sleep. i keep getting distracted from this blog. maybe i should sleep.

I think i listened to this cd like 5 or 6 times.

well i think i am going to listen to drown and then turn on the fan then the tv and try and sleep.

haha its now 3:13 am I havent done this in awhile.

O the things God tells me

Yep its me again I had to write God showed me a verse tonight that I thought I would post so I dont forget it. I tend to come back and read these things.

Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry

But the whole thing is pretty good. I need to be more patient about some areas in my life that verse called out to me. :) Here is the whole thing if your bible isnt near you http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2040&version=31

Then in my devotion tonight it had this
Love the Lord your God, . . .
obey His voice, and . . .
cling to Him, for
He is your life and the length of your days.
—Deuteronomy 30:20

I liked that they kinda go hand in hand. I need to Love and be patient because for THE REST OF MY LIFE HE WILL BE THERE!!! that is the exciting part.

Just had to write again its another God moment that happens at the right time :)

I love to smile and talk I wonder why? Do I annoy you?

My amazing Sunday!!!

Today was an awesome sunday!! I learned a lot in the word today. Pastor talked about Jesus today. What the men had talked about on the retreat and we got it all today!!

First it all started out by having an awesome worship time by singing Knowing You and that song I love and thats all I want in life is to know Jesus. Grace also sang a song called When It's All Said and Done and I lovd that song. I might have heard it before but I dont remember.

Pastor talked about the Glory of Jesus- He made the stars, He made the Earth, He made EVERYTHING just with his breath he spoke it and it happened. Then he said you see the glory of the Lord in different things. Since we dont know exactly what Jesus looks like we can see it in the stars or in the beautiful sky. I went for a walk today and I saw the glory of Jesus in the beauty of everything. The sky was amazing. I was listening to a song when I was looking at the beautiful blue sky with no clouds and they talked about the glory of the Lord. I cant wait till the day I get to see his face. Some verses that went with that: Genesis 1:14, Psalm 148, Psalm 8, John 1:3-4

He also talked about the Selflessness of Jesus. He talked how you need to let other people be more important than you. I try to be selfless as I can I love to help other people but I know I can be selfish at times. It is something I need to work on in some areas of my life and I am going to. He talked about listening sometimes how we need to listen to people and not always be talking. Jesus wont be revealed in a heart that is selfish. I think thats what he said my notes got messed up. He used Pilippians 2:3

The sacrifice of Jesus- this is the gospel. Everyone has a sin issue and it must be punished but the selflessness of Crist had Him die for our sins. your sins were on that cross. But Jesus was selfless enough to die for them and forgive them all.

Lastly he talked about the Mission of Jesus- serving Him. Doing things that matter for eternity.

I loved todays sermon made me keep wanting to hear more and more. I am looking at my life and seeing how I need to look at these things and apply it to my life. I wish I could go back to jacksonville and look at the stars again. They were indescribable and always on my mind now at night.

I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!

I should be sleeping

It actually isnt that late but I should go to bed I had a long day. At work I had to constantly box up returns and I cut my wrist on a box cutter. It hurt pretty bad and still does.

I am just sitting in my room listening to secondhand serende. I like their music a lot (if you want the cd let me know I can give it to ya) Its sooo weird my sister is spending the night at a friends house and my mom is asleep and my dad and brother are away at the mens retreat. I have enjoyed God moments. I get scared sometimes at night I dont know why. But ultimately I know I shouldnt get scared because God is there for me. So when I get scared I just talk to Him.

I have been thinking about a lot of things tonight. How I should have done my homework but I can do it tomorrow I guess. Its not due yet but I usually like to do it early. Lots of things have run through my mind. This girl I know in Australia I have been worried about her lately. She thought she was pregnant but she never took a test and she is like I feel better now but I dont know you never know. Just the way she has been acting. I think she could be. It is so different there because they stopped going to church because something happened with the church and I think they got banned or something. I dont know the whole story. Kate is like one of my best friends I can tell her anything I want her to know Jesus. My plan is to one day go visit her or for her to come to America. But I would rather go there. Ever since I met her I wanted to go. She lives in Queensland somewhere and I always ask about kangaroos because they seem cool even though i hear they can be mean.

There is lots more going on in my head. I cant wait for church tomorrow. I love going to church. I cant thank my parents enough for taking me when I was in my mommys tummy. My church is awesome. I mean I have been to 2 other churches and have really good memories but we had to leave for reasons. Now pastor has been having really good sermons and I love them. But all the men are gone so not many people will be there tomorrow. I wonder whos sunday school class I am going in? My bro teaches it and he is on the retreat. I guess I will figure it out tomorrow. I can always go in with my mom and help her with her class.

I dont know why I love writing so much no matter if it on here or letters. Be honest do people actually read these? Am I a bad writer? Should I just shut up? Thats why sometimes I feel bad about writing. I mean I shouldnt its my blog. But be honest I want to know what you think.

Sleepy time. Well not sleepy time first gotta spend some time with Jesus first :) makes me have sweet dreams. Then sleepy time.

<3

A story I heard this morning.

I was on my way to school listening to WAY FM(the christian radio station). They are doing pledging to get money for the station and this grandpa called in telling a story about his little granddaughter. She was 4 years old and loved listening to WAY FM and singing the songs with her grandpa. Even when the radio was on she would sing songs every week with him when she would visit him. On March 1st the little girl and and 14 month old sister died in a tragic accident. The car went into a 50 foot deep canal. The parents were saved by onlookers who just jumped in the canal but the little girls didnt make it. They were on their way to see their grandpa. That story was so sad. They played a Jeremy Camp song after and I dont remember which one it was.

Little stories like that remind me how precious life is. But I know those little girls are with Jesus today. It was a sad story but in the end when you think about it they are with their Savior. Life can end at any minute so it is important to live every moment for Jesus! Be praying for the family of the two little girls because they are going through a tough time of guilt.

No matter how sad of story the happy thing is that Jesus loves YOU!! He has the ultimate plan on your life!! I <3 Jesus!!

God Moments :)

Since I have been sick and been busy with wedding stuff my devotion I read got put on hold but I think it happened for a reason.

I was reading friday's and the verse was
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10 I was on the road friday and saw this on a church marquee thingie outside. Thats really weird

Sunday's was
Trust in the Lord and do good dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness Psalm 37:3
Thats the day my tax refund came in and lately I have been trusting in God to provide for me and Wade also sent me that work he wanted me to do.

I was reading those ones tonight and they just called out to me. I love these God moments. :)

I am sooo thankful I am better now!!! My sore throat is gone!! yay
