tonight i went to elevate for the first time in a long time. one thing that hit me the most was what mo said about how we read the bible in comparison to girls who read twilight. girls who read twilight take it with them everywhere so wrapped in the book until they are finished reading it. i was one of those girls. i would stay up late reading until i finished. i did this for days as i read the entire series. this is how it should be when i read the bible. getting so wrapped up in the word and can't wait to read it again. i need to be more enthusiastic about reading the bible than about reading twilight. it is God's word, God's teaching to us. how stinking awesome is it that he is given us that?
so that's my challenge to myself...to read the bible the way i read twilight but even greater.
letting go
the hardest part of moving on is letting go of the past. letting go of the people you knew and the good times you remember. it sucks to remember who people used to be and then see where they are now and know there is nothing you can do about it. its hard to watch them when you know the great person they can be. but you can't do anything about it. you just have to realize that these people arent the same anymore and you have to let go. so that is what i'm doing. i'm letting go and moving on with my life.
i'm trusting God with my all. even when i feel like i have nothing else to give

im back
well i have been a little absentee with how crazy everything has been. but im back! for some reason...i love blogging.
so...life has been crazy! with the gift revolution and finals this week time seems to fly by. last friday i did the prayer vigil and it was awesome. i've never done a prayer vigil but it was awesome to be able to do it. i wish i was able to go on tour with the revolution rally but i can't so my prayers are with them instead. finals are a bit stressful. i've been studying my butt off and am down 2, 2 to go.
it's also really cool to see God have his hand on things in your life. this past weekend at sawgrass for preschool we didn't have our usual person for setup. we ended up setting up quicker than we ever have and as we were tearing down we had more people to help than we ever had before. it shows that when you follow God's will he provides.
life's a crazy ride right now but i know God is there through it so it makes it easier to go through.

moving forward
hello readers (well if you read this). i know its been a while since i've blogged...life has just been a little crazy right now.
well. i have stopped helping out in student ministry. nothing against them or anything...i think they are all great. i just didn't feel needed anymore. i'm not the type to just sit in the back and do nothing so i decided that i needed to help out where i was needed. although student ministry is where my heart lies, i've been told that there is a season for everything. right now it doesn't lie there. i miss it tremendously but i need to go where God has placed me which at the moment is at sawgrass campus. i help out with preschool and it's awesome. so although i miss my middle school girls, i feel that God doesn't need me there at the moment. of course it's hard and making a change is never easy but it isn't about me. there is a need at sawgrass right now and i have the ability to fill it. so i'm letting go and moving forward. i'm learning to go where God needs me rather than where i want to be.
well that's it for now. i'll blog tomorrow on some exciting stuff that has happened this weekend......

zipped lips
have you ever been upset where you said something you shouldn't have? i know i should have kept it to myself but i was upset so i vented to a close friend...ok two close friends. that was it. but what was surprising was they already knew. they had already heard it. well opening my mouth created some issues...just my luck. i didn't mean to get anyone in trouble that's why i never said names but i needed to vent and figure out what to do. i wasn't gossiping and telling the world, i was venting and telling my closest friends. like always things don't ever seem to turn out right for me. i didn't mean to upset anyone and i'm sorry i did. i guess they just don't realize that it hurt me more than they realized. this didn't only affect that other person but it affected me a lot. probably more than that other one. so if people stay mad, i'm sorry and that's all i can say. i can't wait to get out of this stupid craphole.
