Last Week of Ministry

July 22, 2005This is my last week of ministry...please pray for my team and the groups that are coming in. Please pray that we won\'t lose our focus and the fight to finish what we have started this summer. Love you all.

We are serving the right God at the right time....and the devil can\'t do a thing about it.

July 12, 2005Well nothing to report here. We had our first group this week since our break last week. They are so awesome and have such willing hearts. There were 6 people that said the prayer of salvation today and 4 yesterday. God is good and I would dare someone to tell me different. He definately showed up today in worship. I could feel Him all around me and it was amazing. Our speaker is a man that I have admired since I met him last summer. He is on FIRE for Jesus and he needs our help. His name is Daryl Coulter. He is the pastor of Joy Baptist Church but he doesn\'t have a church. He had has the foundation laid but everytime there is someone to help him build the church something happens. The money is not there but God has the money already, it\'s just when God decides to give it to him. Just pray for his church and patience.

He said something today that really struck me. He said that we are immortal. And I believe that...we are immortal till God decides that He is done with us. We should never be afraid of ANYTHING that is of this world. We have His protection on us until it is our time to go. They can\'t touch us because the Lord is with us. Let that sink in and think about that. It will change your life. It did mine.

Well I love you all and I am so excited because this friday night for family night we are going to this dance class to learn how to do the \"shag\". haha

bradley hathaway is awesome!!!

July 08, 2005check out this awesome guy. he is a christian poet and his stuff is really good. he kinda sings too!

Christianity is not a religion...its a lifestyle!

July 07, 2005That is such a true statement. Christianity isn\'t about going to church on Sunday and even maybe Wednesday. God calls us to be desciples for Him everyday. I think that is the difference between Christianity and other religions. With being a true Christian we have to be missionaries 24/7 and that can be so tough sometimes. I need to do better about controlling my actions when I am not on ministry. I have to make sure what I am doing won\'t interpert to something totally different to someone who is just watching. We(my Charleston Family) talked about how the people at our apartment complex constantly look at us and see if we are ever going to mess up, if we are ever going to do something wrong. They look and see how we act and conduct ourselves. It\'s so crazy.

Well only three more weeks till I come home. This past week was our \"week off\" but we ended up closing in a car port and turning it into a garage. It really has been alot of fun and I have learn so much. I got to use a nailgun which was scary at first but I got the hang of it. I nailed up a whole side of the garage. CRAZINESS!!!!

Please pray for my grandmother. She is having surgery next week. She has a tumor in the lining of her brain and they have to remove it. I am really upset that I can\'t be there for her and I know she is upset too but I am glad she understands. This is such a scary surgery so I just need everyone to pray for her and my family.

Love you all and see you soon. Take care.

*Thought* Isn\'t it amazing that God would leave 99 sheep just to find the 1 lost one. He loves us that much. Logic would say just to leave the 1 sheep but He says forget it, I am going after my child! If you feel God is not coming after you or doesn\'t care about you...your wrong. He loves you and is coming after you. He will do everything in His power to bring you to Him. All you have to do is say,\"Okay take me.\"

it hurts!!!

July 02, 2005Today I went to the beach for the first time this summer....for my free day. It was such a cool day. I spent alot of time in the water looking for starfish and sand dollars. Unfortunatly and to my dismay I didn\'t find any. I wouldn\'t feel like such a loser except for the fact that everyone else found like 10. But its all good because I had an all around good day. I did get REALLY burnt. I stupidly didn\'t put sunscreen on because I hardly ever burn. That apparently doesn\'t apply to my life anymore. Because I had a rude awakening that I do burn. When we got home I took a shower and I got a little teary eyed when the water hit my sunburn. I feel alot better because I went and got me some starbucks.

I am gonna be an optamistic and say that I am gonna have an AMAZING tan after the pain goes away from the burn...haha.

I really think that there should be a barnes and noble in the boro. Books a million isn\'t doing it for me. This next week is out \"week off\". We are going to build a garage for this young guy who is paralyzed and is unable to do it. I think it will be awesome because I hope we will be able to get closer at a group.

One more month until I am coming home. Well I am going to finish this movie that everybody is watching...it\'s School of Rock and it is really good.
