Lesson learned!

As Sunday morning appoarched, I begin to study and seek for the words of the lesson. GOD decided a few weeks ago that this week we would learn about the porters house, personally it excited me more then the little ones. Trying to find GODs words it made me think. These are the words that came to mind.

"We will take this clay and make it into a bowl. Whatever kind of bowl you want. Make it different. GOD makes us different. We are like the clay. Jesus holds us in his hands and makes us just how he wants us. Different. One of a kind. Unique and beautiful. No matter what we are beautiful to him"

I began to think, how can I be tea bing my little class this If even I have a hard time accepting these things. Sometimes I want to be like others. I have a hard time accepting myself for what Jesus has made me to be. Then I realized that I am beautiful just the way I am. God made me have the health issues I have to make me stronger. He made me love others because he loves everyone. Even when the devil makes me feel ugly and unwanted. I'm beautiful because I'm his child!!!!

Thank you Jesus for teaching me a lesson!!

It finally feels .....TOGETHER

Kind of an odd title but in all honesty, it's the only way to say how I feel. I guess to understand, you've got to hear the story. 

It started Saturday evening when the Radical Servants gathered to practice. We  was finally going back out to perform at another church. Getting things together , we was all ready to go. We was all getting along. Things was GREAT. I actually feel over joyed to say, it felt like we was a WHOLE youth group. Like we was one, instead of half over here, one over here and so forth. We practiced, fellowshipped and such for hours it seemed like. 

Sunday morning rolls around, we are all ready to go, until we are late getting up. Have to get to church early. There was people not ready and people TOO ready. Holly went into labor at 4:30 that morning (Not her fault!! lol) That put us down two people. Thanks Devil for being on our shoulders there. Will was at his sisters, Down three. The devil was HARD at work sunday. All during morning service he was making it hard to focus (I can only speak for myself here) I know the LORD was there (HE'S EVERYWHERE!) but it was like I couldn't feel him. 

There was a battle inside of me! 

But praise GOD, sunday morning we had one rededication and one saved. 

After church, the devil was still there, but he was slowly getting the boot because things was falling in place. 

Once we got to Pleasant View to set up. Jeremiah stood waiting for us. 

Slowly things were coming together. Normally when we set things up for skits, we have half sitting around, half talking. Not Sunday, they was just moving on with things. We knew what had to be done. When the skits began, watch out Devil!!! 

It was nothing I had ever felt before!!! It was a crazy spirit that was upon us. It was almost like GOD was saying, look at me, I've been here but you've been blinded. 

When we did Set Me Free, which was the last skit we did, I felt as if I was a demon, it was like GOD was saying, this is what you have become when you are blinded, you hurt people, you bring people down and then when Jesus comes walking up, and we all fall, I could hear him say, I KNOCK YOU DOWN, TO SHOW YOU HOW TO CLIMB!!!!! 

THANK YOU LORD!!! 

I just feel so over whelmed by his love, his peace, his greatness! 

I feel like for so long our Youth Group was two/three different groups. I feel like we haven't been a WHOLE youth group in soooooo long! But after Saturday night, I think GOD has fixed us, mended broken hearts once again. I feel like we are TOGETHER, by his love, his powers. He has brought us together, once again. I'm so thankful, so happy!!!!! 

I love my RADICAL SERVANTS!! 

Radical servants...

This is to a youth group that has fought against and for each other. To a youth group that has spent restless nights. To a youth group that has cried together and over each other. To a youth group that has been back against the wall 99% of the time. To a youth group that has over come. To a youth group that has been to dependable but stop lone all at the same time. To a youth group that should've fell apart many times. To a youth group that has been fought against. To a youth group that is imperfect. To a youth group that is family. To a youth group that has each others back even though times get hard. To a youth group that has stood in the fire. To a youth group that has nearly burnt in the fire. To a youth group that will stand for jesus. To a youth group that is willing to learn. To a youth group that has been left alone and no where to turn. To my radical servants, things may get hard but I love yuns all very much. We aren't perfect. We have had our share of fights and disagreements but in the end we always find our way back. We know things are about to change but we've nearly been though it all! We can do this!!! TOGETHER!

Lazy Day

I have to admit, today has been an EXTREMELY lazy day. There's not been much of anything going on except a lot of laying around and reading. I just recently decided to read 'Breaking Dawn' entirely before I get the movie (It's already pre-ordered). I made it to page 278 today! 

What does everyone on their 'lazy day'? 

We all have them at some point or another. 

I have recently been staying a lot with a few of my friends, spending time with them and also money has been tight and with Tuesday Night Bible study and Wednesday church it makes it difficult to stay home and be able to go. 

It's sometimes nice to come home and just lounge around in the comfort of your own home. I love it!  

Never thought..,

Today I read a quote that said this "if you never thank him after every smile, then you have no right to blame him for every tear" after reading this the only thing I could say was "ouch!". Needless to say that stepped all over my toes and maybe even broke a few. Why is it that we are so quick to say "why lord" when things are going bad but when we are enjoying life an laughing we hardly ever say thank you lord? I'm not saying I don't do it because I do it all the time. Our god deserves so much more!!! I just want to thank him! He has healed me, my friends. He has brought joy into my life! Im so happy, so thankful!!
Earlier one of my friends said "if I could have my daughter grow up like someone I would want it to be you" normally that would give someone the big head but I can't help but smile and say thank you lord for letting your love and kindness flow through me!! Thank you for giving me the strength to be who you want me to be! My praises flow out in your holy name!!
Just remember to say thank you lord!!!


GOD Bless!
