Hey yall…
It hasn’t been too too long since my last post…but yeah…I still need to work on it. lol.
Anyway, I just want to say that I am so excited about all that God is doing right now. Refuge was incredible last night…I got so much from tweezy’s message. He spoke about how we need a spirit of intolerence in our lives…we can’t change what we tolerate.
I just thought that was awesome! It really showed me that I am so lazy. I just sit here thinking about the things that I need to do better at and I dream of how much of a difference I could make in the world if I could get better in certain areas…but I am so lazy. I never seem to do anything to take action!
So that got me really motivated!
Then we had closer tonight! It was so cool. jordan spoke about retaliation and about how our reactions affect others. It was a really good message. and we had a ton of people…so a lot of conversation flowed, too. people really had a lot of amazing things to share.
I noticed something different tonight…there was so much passion for God inside of people and for sharing His love. I don’t know…I can just see that something huge is happening. This generation is going to change the world. We’re gonna be the “john the baptist generation”!! preparing the way for Jesus’ coming! It’ so cool!
This year is going to be awesome. refuge!!!..is gonna be even more amazing than last year. enthralled is to be incredible too. and closer…is gonna be even more awesome than it already is!!
I’m just pumped. Lol. Maybe I’m so excited because I’m delirious. Idk…or maybe it’s the coffee I had!
But seriously…God is doing so much. I’m really ready to get off my butt and start investing into people and investing into my own life…like doing things to get prepared for ministry. (among many other things…I want to study a foreign language, learn to play an instrument, read more, invest more time in school ☺, get more involved with outreaches and get more involved at the church, invest more into life groups, invest into other girls at refuge, save money for missions trips, possibly get a job, and spend more time with my brothers and being a good big sister that they can look up to)
That’s just a few things that I want to start working on.
My dad and I were talking the other night about how it’s important to invest into your spiritual walk with God by doing quiet times and spending time alone with Him…but also how important it is to have outward expressions of His love. he said that if your cup is constantly being filled but you never pour it out on others then your water is just sitting there getting old and nothing is ever done with it. again…that showed me that it’s so important to take action…and get off of my butt and do something!
I’m so excited!!
So yeah…another long post…but at least I’m posting right?
☺
But God is truly doing amazing things. I’m learning to surrender everything to Him and to keep my hands open so that He can give and take according to His will…and I’m trusting Him no matter what…because His will is all that matters.

Awesomeee post. Jason really pumped me up wednesday night with that message. That's sort of what he talked about during our trip last weekend with him, and it was awesome. It's crazy how many people we let pass us by in our lives without trying to grab them and tell them about His love.
Anyway, awesome post!
