Im Back(with a purpose)

Sorry for the short post last time...I was in a hurry:) Before I start though, I just want to say congrats to my awesome roommate Mary for re-committing her life to Jesus!!=) WHOOT(the angels are having a freaking huge party right now) Last night was movie night at our house...we attempted to make delicious nachos...but for some reason the stupid cheese stayed super thick!! It was ok though everyone loved it!

Anyway Mary and I have been cleaning our house of any bad spirits and only allowing positive things/people come in:)

I know my last post was a little random but as I said before I have been really thinking of how I want to live the rest of my life or even the next 5 years of my life. Someone pointed out to me the other day that they noticed that the general community of Christians keep lowering their standards/morals/values to fit in with the world everyday...but why? Why try to be normal?? As Christians we are supposed to stand out from the crowd, be leaders of men, and share the good news! But it is definitely a struggle, and its NOT supposed to be easy at all, but seriously does it have to be this hard?! (lol) I was just thinking how selfish of me would it be to know and to love Jesus and keep him all to myself...never telling anyone how he has changed my life, or all the good things that come from being a Christian. So I have been thinking about different ways to talk about Jesus...from small things I do everyday to doing something drastic like attending a YWAM mission http://www.ywammadison.org/dts/faq/ This one I found focuses on children at risk in other country's. I have known almost my whole life that my calling is to help kids, especially kids who really need help, who need to know that Jesus is their dad that will never leave. I am going to keep praying about this, where there is a will there is a way! Please pray for me!!

Dont Just go through the motions...

Goodnight:)

ok ok...need to do laundry

I know its time to do laundry when I have to dig through the very bottom of my closet to find something decent to wear, hehe. So I was thinking I just need to get it in my car and drive to somewhere that I can wash it...hmm then I got to thinking...(you know what happens when I start to think)...lol...I am at a point in my life where I need get my butt to church and wash the so called "dirty laundry" out of my life...to be continued

My 19th birthday

HOLA everybody:) So as you know I turned 19 yesterday! WOW I used to think that was sooo old LOL. I started my birthday morning with my man taking me out to breakfast, and then shopping with a good friend at Rue 21. I was surprised at work with some Delicious cupcakes, and awesome birthday wishes! After work i was surprised again with my boyfriend (Matt) and some friends from high school, we all went bowling at Sun Mountain Fun Center. I totally lost, it was really sad how horrible I was at the game :p Didn't get home until 3am, then off to work at 9am...Thats ok Im only gonna turn 19 once!

I just now got off work and promised my roomate that I would write in my blog so here I am writing so that she can read it.

I have been thinking alot about the purpose of my life lately, and what God really is calling me to do. One thing I have decided is that I will learn how to speak spanish fluently, and I will spend at least 3-6 months in a foreign country. Now all I have to decide is how and when? I was thinking back on my mission trip to Costa Rica and remembered the skit we performed while there. I couldnt find the video of my team performing it but I found the same video that we learned it from...I would like to share it with all of you...enjoy:)

lifehouse "everything"

WOW its been awhile!!

So it is 2011!! I can't wait to see what this year will bring me. There has already been soo much going on in my life. I moved out and now i am working and going to college full time. What an adventure! My mom is still raising the foster kids...although we got a NEW arrival a couple weeks ago. A little baby boy:) He is a sibling of two of the kids my mom cares for. They all have such interesting/sad stories...which I cant say much about because its confidental, but I can tell you that it has made me alot more thankful for the people and experiances I have in my life. I am just glad that now 7 kids have a happy life and are cared for by one of the best moms in the world!
