It's been a long time. It is time to blow the dust off this old blog and revive it with some fresh thought and insight.
I have been going through a lot of life changes recently. I just finished the hardest semester of my life, I am about to earn an associates degree, I have made a lot of new friends, and most of these new friends come from The Salvation Army church.
The Salvation Army Church is what I kind of what to blog about today. Not really the church itself and their beliefs and whatnot, but I want to share with you the message this last Sunday. Let me preface it with this. It has been a LONG TIME since I have really remembered a sermon, taken it to heart, and really applied to my everyday life.
So what was the message?
The message was illustrated with a snowglobe. A snowglobe a little world incapusulated in a glass globe filled with water and glitter. This globe she said represented each of us and our own little worlds we live in. The glitter that comes up when shaking it represents stirring emotions such as frustration, anxiety, anger, etc. These emotions generally happen because either myself or someone other than God is holding my precious snow globe life. I am letting them or myself shake things up instead of taking my world and putting in the hands of the one who created it.
This illustration was and is so powerful in my life. I find myself stopping myself throughout this week already and saying "who is shaking up my snow globe?" I find that if nothing else it has made me more aware. Trust is something I am working on, but unfortunately I am a slow work in progress.
The other thing that was beautiful is that when I went and talked to Rachel after church she told me that she had gotten a word from the spirit about me during the message. She shared that with me and prayed over me.
Guys, I am telling you it has been a lonnnggg time. Way too long actually since I have really felt alive in the Lord and Sunday was for the first time in a LONG time refreshing.
So I am just praising God for what he is doing in my life right now. I know He has big plans for me and I can't wait for Him to reveal them to me in His timing :)

So we meet again...blog
sorry for not updating regularly anymore...college has taken most if not all my time away lately....I have been going through so much change and busyness latley that its been hard to keep up with myself let alone a blog lol.
In my last post I talked about how hard it is to be in such a secular school without a good ministry...that's no different...however at church on wednesday night we are starting a new series which really excites me. Its by focus on the family, its a video series, and its called "does God exist" its basically a college world view class. It helps you understand your faith and the faith of others better.Its helps so you are more well equipped to know what you believe and ready to give an answer when someone asks a question about the Lord. I feel its just what I need midway through my week to keep me going! Praise God! Plus I am now going to start listening to sermons on tape ( yeah those old things called cassette tapes that play in my old 93 escort!) on the way to and from school for even more nourishment. I feel as though God is answering my prayers and recent hunger pains.=D
Oh and thanks to those of you who have prayed for what I mentioned in the last post! Keep it up!

Don't do it.
Just don't do it. Oh we all do it and don't even realize it but its a really dangerous thing...to take things for granted.
Believe me its very easy to take water for granted until you go to the sink one morning to brush your teeth and no water comes or you try to take a shower or get a cup of water...yeah you know what I mean. It easy to take health and safety for granted until someone blacks out, falls.and hits there head and you have to call in the paramedics. Its easy to take power and electricity for granted and all these things until you don't have it.
God has given us so many more blessing than we even really realize! Out God is so good and this is just a reminder to you to recognize His goodness and blessings in your life and praise Him today!
Yep, that's all I have to Share =D
