i just wanted to post and say to whoever might read this (if anyone) that i'm so thankful of God's Love and Mercy and Grace.  I wish i hadn't sinned the sins i have done, but His Grace truly has abounded and He has made Himself known, mysteriously, but known.  Praise God!

When you're down, Praise God.  When you're happy, Praise God.  When you're confused, Praise God.  Its easier said than done, but God created us for that and i'm beginning to see that more.

Praise God!

It has been so long since i've been on here.  I got rid of 1st myspace and next xanga.  Forgive me phusebox, you were there all along.

Kinda like God, huh?

I can't believe how far I felt from God in what seemed to be so recently.  But he is always there.  I came back from this retreat recently with my sweetness's college group from Greeneville and one of the coolest I came to see was how many names God has.  And a name in the Bible is more than a title.  So, to the writers that God influenced to write the Bible, He was amazing.

There are so many aspects of God that I fail to realize...daily...HOURLY!!!!  Liza's mom handed out a different name of God in hebrew to everyone in the group and we spent some time pondering on how God has affected us with that name.  My name was Maon, or "my shelter."  I think about how I'm very sheltered from most of the drama that has gone on in the music department and how God has been there for me to run to when I found myself neck-deep in my sin.

One of the other cool things about this retreat was that this girl (uh-oh, a girl) named Bronwyn (uh-oh, a Welsh name) wasn't there.  God worked it out so that she could be with her family by losing her I-20 document to get back in the US and that I could focus on Him.  That's just a little portion of His plan.  Neat, huh?

Well, He has also convicted me alot of just growing up in what He has taught me.  I think alot about my future and preparation hasn't really struck me as a "now" thing til...well...now.

In light of that, I'm going to drive back to Cookeville, now and prepare a lesson for my youth group.  WORD UP WESTHAVEN BAPTIST!!!!
