Youth Convention 2011

ive been asked a few times this weekend what my favorite part of youth convention was. my question following that question is; do i have to have one? so many things happened and youth convention, for me, is always a blast! but this year...

i got to do the best job EVER! (stage camera) i explained it this way to someone - i got to see things that other people couldn't. God used that little video camera to show me exactly what He loves. it was beautiful...& so indescribable. i got to see hundreds of teens and leaders be hit by the power of God and i got to see some students realize for the first time that even though their earthly father didn't exist, they had a heavenly father that wanted to give them EVERYTHING! the reason my job was the best ever is because i got to attempt to show everyone else what i was seeing. i got to catch it all through a lense to be projected onto a massive screen for all to see.

it wasnt easy and not all of what i saw did everyone else see but the things that i saw will forever be remembered. i mean, its not every day that you get to talk about being paid in mints and watching as teens receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit all in one night. (not at the same time i might add)

i was asked by someone if i was still blogging. that was a loaded question. i still blog. just not as much as i would like to. i journal ALL the time and post most of what i write on facebook. blogging just isnt a top priority...i mean, why would it be when i can update my facebook status by text message and say what i need to at any time instead of having to wait to write it all out. but then again, isnt that the point. for it all to be written out for others to understand?!

im going to try to stay on top of things. its april already....lets start there! ;D

ponder on this for a minute: God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac -> God asked him to give up what he was promised. would you do it? not only would you do it but would you do it without arguing? Abraham did. he went all the way to the point of putting Isaac on the alter when God made a ram appear. God knew what He was doing....oh, and He still does!

until next time,

SNOW DAYZ!

its been snowing quite a bit here in New Hampshire. Quite amazing actually. To just sit and watch the snow fall and be able to see how beautiful it makes everything.

It has been REALLY cold! last week it was in the double digit negatives. that is crazy! I am still working at McDonald's. Its fun and the people i work with are pretty cool. Every time i work im amazed at the opportunity i am given to show them Jesus. makes me smile actually.

two weeks ago we had Day In The Life here at NEMC. sooo much fun and God just totally did what He wanted. Jason Lee Jones and the Richest of Fare led worship for us on friday night and sunday morning and then on monday morning they led worship for prayer. They are amazing and i am so glad that we had the opportunity to spend some time with them while they were here.

We are getting ready to go to Massachusetts on the 6th of February to a church that we have been to before. They are going to be starting a masters commission there in the fall and we are sooo excited to be able to help them out. Then, on the 10th of February we all leave on our bus for Texas!! There will be some stops on the way, of course. We are leaving NH on the 10th and then it will go like this: DC, TN, TX, AR, DC, NH. There may be some stops added to this but im not totally sure yet.

so, on a more personal basis, i slept in until 10a this morning. yeah, that never happens!! its pretty cool because i just really wanted the rest today.

flashing back to Christmas time...i was able to go to Pennsylvania for Christmas and it was a blast. Seeing everyone that i have not seen since the summer. i got to spend some amazing time w. my mom, her boyfriend and my sisters and my little nephew!! he's getting sooo big and oh so adorable. my mom and baby sister had no idea i was coming for Christmas so my middle sister snuck me in the house at 530a and sat me under the tree with a bag over my head and a ribbon and a bow on top of my head. my mom cried a little and my baby sister took about 5 minutes to realize exactly what was happening. they were shocked and I WON! :)

well, this is all thats been going on recently or gonna be going on soon. i know i fail at this whole blog thingy...there are just some things that slip my mind. :)

peace out cub scouts,

Crab Rangoons And A Penguin Friend Named Burt

no, the title of this blog has nothing to do with what im talking about tonight and thats perfectly okay! :)

my new computer is pretty amazing! work is pretty steady and im getting along well with my co-workers. our schedule is picking up and im really excited about that. i got a really cool sweatshirt from a friend of mine's boyfriend that is in Japan with the Marines. he's pretty cool

i would just like to state for the record that everyday i am amazed by the fact that God has brought me to this place where He can mold me to be all that He wants me to be. we started reading a book about 2 weeks ago called "God Chasers"...its sooo good!! The book is eye-opening and stretching all at the same time.

Now, im off to watch a movie called "Planet 51" with Cindy & Teddi! :)

Love always,
Me ;)

umm...

ok so its been since the 5th of august since i have updated and to be completely honest...I FORGOT! ;(

well, im doing fine. im working now (at mcdonald's). tuition is almost paid off but im still working on it. our traveling is starting to pick up and this weekend we are going to Wyndham, ME. Our dramas are mad sick and im sooo excited!! our passion is continuously growing.

i have sent out two newsletters so far and if you have not received them please let me know and i will be able to send them to you via email.

anyways, im learning a lot about exactly what God is doing in my life and what He wants me to do with my life. the burden that He has placed in my heart is continuing to grow and my life is changing forever. OH MY GOSH!! i just REALLY love Him sooo much.

more to come...updates will begin to come more frequently ;)
