Thoughts a runnin....

So this weekend was very good for me in my walk.  It has been a challenging week in the sense of being thrown into the areas of ministry and life that are babied to us.  We don't get chances to look into the areas that make us realize we are just as broken as the next guy.  I was reading my Bible and came across a story where people stood up for the Lord and their faith and were persecuted.  I don't know how easy it would be for me to be persecuted in the form of embarrassment....makes me think.  This first video is a skit about how Jesus fought/fights for us, yet I feel like I wouldn't be strong enough to fight for him.  I am just being hard on myself right now which isn't good, but with all I have been seeing and reading, I dont feel like putting myself on a pedistool right now.  



At one of the meetings I was in, Kurt, a guy I work with, told me about this song called How He Loves Us.  The lyrics were amazing.....the next day i went to an intern worship and we sang that song.  That was the first time I saw the words and it tore me up.  Laater that night we all went to the dam and were hangin out and I heard a bit more about the reason for the song so i looked it up and was blown away.  Such faith.  

Church the next day broke me and i couldn't even stand.  I sat in my chair sobbing for the past week made me realize that I am NOT good enough.  We sang a song with the lyrics, "He gives and takes away....my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name".  If He took it all from me....idk what i would do.  But I am maturing to the point of being able to give Him EVERYTHING.  When i thought i was about to stop crying like a school girl, Revelation Song started, and I found myself standing with hands lifted high.  Such a good sunday.  Ill post that video later.  you can youtube it. (Revelation Song).   Thanks for listening.

These past few weeks have been so crazy but i have had friends who have helped me along the way.  I want to thank you all right now.  My brother and Andy stopped by for a few days and surprised me.  That made my week. I really needed to see him so keep going.  He is my best friend and it was good to see him.  Andy was a good face to see also...missin all friends back home and he brightened my day.  Thanks guys.  This last weekend i turned 20 and had an amazing birthday!!!  My parents came down to see me!!!  We took a group to Chico for a campout.  It was the coldest i have ever been but so much fun.  Seemed like everyone came home for that weekend.  It was so nice.  Joanna, Megan, and Stephanie all were back and it was so much fun!  I also made an appearance as a BackStreetBoy on stage in front of lots of people.  4 guys and myself all dressed up and danced all over the stage to wrap up a wonderful show at the Variety Show.  Monday night was a great night as well with a smooth Coterie.  It was twin night and Nadja was my twin since Kolby was outta town.  haha   she is from Germany and our hair is similar....that was about it hahah
