Craziness
So, I have found out today that I am crazy...like literally, I mean I guess I have known it for a while, but, like, I am just weird...guess what I have really fell in love with, Soundtracks to movies/plays/musicals.....All day today I have been singing one line to a song in the musical WICKED, the song is Defying Gravity, "I think I'll try defying gravity" thats the line, and I just sing it over and over and over again.....I drove people crazy, which is insane, since I am crazy myself.....I also told Meredith tonight that I thought I was funny, just out of the blue, because I am....not really because I say funny things, I just am random, so that is funny..
so yeah, I also found out that the application on facebook "free gifts" has games that you can play to earn "gift money" to buy better gifts to send people....ha, they are crazy fun...and addicting, and pretty dang easy...I should probably of spent my time doing homework, since I have not done any for a while...oh my.....
I have 4 tests on Thursday!! (Just wanted to share that with you)
and thats all I have for now!

God is AMAZING!!! Please choose HIM!!
So, I don't think I have ever shared my testimony with any of my friends since I have started college, and I guess that could be that sometimes we or at least I feel, that I don't have this phenominal testimony of a background of drugs and alcohol...but God has given me a great testimony, and that is that I choose Him to be my Savior. I thank God that I did not have to go through all the "crap" to get to Him...
I grew up in a Christian home, my dad is a pastor, so I knew everything that was right and wrong, what to do and what not to do! You know, the whole "role" of a Christian...Around the age of 7 a bunch of my friends decided that we wanted to "get saved" and be baptized. So I got baptized..I was not until I was 13 that I realized that I had not made the decision to ask God to be my Father, my Savior, my Lord..I had not asked Him to live in my heart.
In the Summer of 2002, I went to my first youth camp with my youth group, and during one of the service that week, God spoke to me through a song "I'm Coming Back to the Heart of Worship", as I was singing, God just said, you need to come to ME...That night I remember asking my youth leader how is works to ask Jesus to live in my heart. My youth leader shared with me a prayer and I said this prayer, now it was not a magical prayer, but because I believed in my heart what I was saying, that is what matters, I believe that night that Christ began to live in my heart. and I know that He is living there now, and that nothing I do can make HIM leave..
After I asked Jesus to live in my heart, my lifestyle did not seem to change much, because like a said, I was never caught up in anything that would be considered "bad" if that makes sense..
In Spring of 2007, God really got a hold of my heart and called me into Full-Time Minstry....and to start living as a Christian so that others can see Christ through me, in my actions, in my words. I know that I am not perfect and I have not always been doing what I should be doing, but I really want to be doing what God wants me to do now. I have no idea as to which ministry God has in store for my life, but I know that He will reveal it in His time, not mine.
However, in May of this year, I have an awesome opportunity to go to Greece on a missions trip. I cannot even say how excited I am about this trip...I pray that God will prepare me physically, mentally and spiritually for this trip. Because it is not about me, it is about HIM, and I pray that the people in Greece will see Christ through me and not myself.
But what I want to talk about now is this, DO YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT IF GOD WERE TO COME BACK RIGHT NOW, THAT YOU WOULD SPEND ETERNITY WITH CHRIST? You guys, the only thing that I desire is that you know this for a fact. I do not want to offend anyone, but what kind of friend am I if I had the cure to living forever and ever and ever, and never shared it with you. I would be no friend at all! I just want you to know the awesome Savior that I know, He is my God, My King, My Lord, My Father, and most awesomely MY FRIEND! A friend that will "never leave you, nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5b) He is Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Messiah, there are so many names for the Lord of the Earth. I just pray that you guys know who Christ is, and that He can have an amazing impact on your life.
HE COULD ROCK YOUR WORLD, IF YOU WOULD JUST LET HIM!!
Just remember that Christ died for you, what have you done for HIM?

My first Blog!
Ha, So I was sitting at a table with some friends the other day, and I said I was not going to make a blog, however, I pretty much wanted to make one, so here I am sitting here typing random stuff...the thing to see is if I can keep it up....
Let's talk about a little bit that has been going on in my life.
In Spring of 2007, I surrendered my life to full time ministry. I have no clue as to which ministry God has in store for my life, but I am looking forward to see what He has ahead! This past semester Fall 07, I had the opportunity to apply to go on a mission trp to Athens, Greece and work with the Turkish Refugees. It turns out I do get to go, and that trip will be in May of this year. I am so blessed as to how God has provided financially for me to go on this trip, because there is no way without Him, that I would have been able to go. I am really excited to see what He has in store for the trip as well as before and after. God reveals His word to us in so many ways, and I am blessed to have a Savior who cares, and who knows my name, how many hairs I have on my head, and my every thought.
Wow, thats scary, He knows my thoughts? Have you ever sat back and thought about that? ha, God can read your mind, He doesn't need us to verbally ask/talk to Him, but He likes to hear us talking to Him...it's so exciting to know that I have a God, a Father, who is always by my side, and will never leave me. It amazing!!
Just a couple of things to remember:
Colosians 3:2-3
"Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God."
Psalm 145:18
"The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth."
