Pro-Life National Day Of Silence

Tuesday was the Pro life national day of silence. People who were supporters of this group took a vow of silence for the day by wearing red tape over their mouths that had LIFE written on it. I took part in this event and it was really cool! Not talking for the day in honor of the innocent children that were killed because of Abortion. www.abort73.com is an awesome site they have T- shirts, bags, hoodies, stickers, and a ton of other great stuff that you can buy online. Yall should check it out!

As christians we need to be praying a lot in general but specifically for the upcoming election right now. Sean made a great point sunday and i wanted to share it with yall... He said "Match your politics with the Bible not the Bible with your politics." God should be the center of all of our decisions. Many people will argue the Seperation of church and state but thats rediculous to me. God made the state! And we are the Church... But wait... God made us too... so it doesnt make sense to seperate the creator from his creation. I dont know if that came out right! But it made sense to me! Anyway whatever happens happens for a reason. Whoever is elected God knew before hand!

Really random Blog!

Christian V.S. Integrity

Dictionary.com defines Christian as a person who believes in Jesus Christ; adherent of Christianity. Society today has taken the word Christian and applied a million different meanings to it. "A person who believes in Jesus Christ" that definition sucks. Why is it that society finds every way possible to avoid defining REAL and TRUE Christians. Because it is so much more than that little 7 word description. To me a Christian is defined as A follower in Jesus Christ; A devoted disciple that lives for the father; Someone who loves without question; Someone who will not judge someone else because of their sin; A friend to those who dont fit in. The list goes on and on. I know why Dictionary. com has put that tiny description on the name Christian. Because most people who call themselves by that name dont live like a Christian should. They dont show love or grace to people who have fallen into sin time and time again. They judge those who are different. They deny Christ in their schools. Christians are thought of as Rich snobby people that want everything for themselves and that dont have the time to worry about poor people or homeless people or people that are dying from their sin. And why shouldnt they think that?! They have every right to think that way. Because we havent dont anything to change it. We have done nothing to prove that Christians are more that believers in Jesus Christ. Lets start Now! Lets change that 7 word description into a 1000 word essay about all the great things that Christians are suppose to be. Lets live like Jesus lived, Forgive like Jesus forgave, Love like Jesus loved, lets walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and show this world how truly Glorious he really is! I'm stoked!

2nd Week of School

Turns out... I was wrong!!! NESA was no longer my mission... I left last week and started at Johnson High School. And lemme tell ya... Leaving all of those people was one of the hardest things ive ever had to do. Basically i was complaining about Gas and how i dont have a passion to go to NESA anymore like i used to and i didnt know if God was calling me there... So my parents gave me two choices... I could either stay at NESA or leave and go to Johnson. But i had to decide that night. And obviously i chose Johnson and i have never felt better about a decision in my life... God has called me to new and greater challenges at Johnson.. But i need prayer. I am fixin to start a Bible Study there but i have to talk to an administrator before i can start it and all that... SOOOO if i can ever get a meeting with him then we will get it started! And its hard because i knew like everyone at NESA and so i was able to talk to them about my faith cause they knew i was a christian... But now... i know like barely anyone other than the few Reagan people who switched over... So im scared and slightly discouraged but im keeping my head held high because i know that i have a God who will bless me for doing his work... And i hope im doing it right! So if you read this please keep Johnson and the new Bible Study that God is starting there that he will bless it!!! God Bless and have a GREAT week!!!

First Week Of School!

In some ways i am happy to be back in school. Seeing all of my friends, Meeting twice a week with my bible study, Being a missionary. Its great i love it! But then there is the show schedule that comes up. And yes i LOVE performing. I do but when it consumes your life its a huge downer! Performing is important to me but Jesus is my priority! People have told me that i should leave NESA and go to Johnson because it would be a clean slate there and probably get more parts there because i am trained and what not... But NESA is my mission. I cant leave when it is in such need for people to spread the word and be a light... I love performing and when i first got accepted i thought it was because i was really talented. But now i know that that isn't the reason. I was accepted so that i could be a light in a dark place! I hate all the sin and heartache Satan is bringing to my school but i Love each and everyone of those people with everything that i am. And i hurt so badly to see them fall down this path of destruction. It breaks my heart! And everyday i go for them. I go for all of those boys and girls that are struggling with their sexuality, i go for the people who struggle with lust and self control, i go for those who need encouragement, i go to serve them in every way that i know possible! But at times i feel its to much for me to handle. Because I'm not trained in the missions field! I'm not someone who can bring out all this scripture that will work wonders in someone Else's life!! I wonder if I'm even making a difference! Everyone knows I'm a christian but i don't know if they know why! They know I'm different but i don't know if they think that's a good thing. They expect me to be strong all the time and never cry or be sad. I'm rambling about nothing so ill stop. But if you read this whole thing i can only ask one thing and that's for you to pray for me and my mission. I get so emotional and i take everything on my own shoulders! Please pray for the kids at NESA. Or if you have any advice... Everything is greatly appreciated!

Mexico

Life is to short to care what other people think. David says "I will become even more undignified than this!" all for the glory of God. I admire that. Being a worship leader has blessed me in more ways than one. I have the blessing of standing in front of people and proclaiming Gods name but i also get to use the gifts God gave me for him. To be honest i think that i have not only let God down but have let myself down also. In Mexico they worship like David. They dance and jump around and swirl towels over their heads and start conga lines, they worship without pretending, they worship like no one is watching. I was blown away by that small church in Durango Mexico. Being able to watch them inspired me to become more like them. I don't want to care how i look up on stage or care what i sound like. If the note is to high to hit who cares. If the guitar is not tuned who cares, if the bass isn't playing the same song as everyone else who cares. Its not about how it looks or sounds on stage. Its only about the heart of the people worshiping out father. Last week i saw worship as it should be. I saw a church as it should be. I saw the love of Christ come to life in those people. We were their four short days with those people helping to build a roof that would last for many rain storms and stay standing through anything. But those people were determined to serve us and make us feel more at home than we could have imagined. For maybe the first time in my life i felt like God was standing in front of me smiling and holding out his hand for me to grab hold of. I was swimming in Gods presence. It rained Gods glorious love. God worked through those people for me to see and learn from. I will never forget their faces when they saw us and greeted us for the first time and the instant love that came over them that pored out onto us. God is Good and almighty. He is the ultimate healer, lover and father the glorious name the Great I am the only one that i can cling to for hope, the never ending grace that helps me carry on. God is my father and i will not be shy about my love and passion to serve him each and every day of my life praising his name for the blessings of each day.

Pray for me to stay firm in every situation only relying on God to help me through. I know i will be tempted by the devil please pray that i wont fall down. God is bigger and stronger than anything the Devil will dish out. I cling to that faith.

Life in the eyes of a child

Today was the final day of VBS. It was a great week if i do say so myself! I had more fun and learned more than i could have ever expected to! There is nothing that i would do to change this week. Rachel and I had so much fun together conquering challenging courses on the playground, watching the cars roll by, and praising Jesus! I remember it was yesterday that we were sitting there on the steps of the playground. Rachel was fascinated by the multitude of cars that were rolling by. And i really felt God telling me to talk to her about him. So i asked her... "Rachel do you love Jesus?" and at first her response was "No" but then i explained who he was and that he loved her very much i asked her again.. "Do you love Jesus?" and she immediately responded saying "Yes i love Jesus!" I cant tell you how good that felt! It was tough and i was very knew to dealing with children with Down Syndrome but i wouldn't have traded my one on one time with Rachel for anything. There is no where else i would have rather been than watching her grow so much and become so much stronger! Watching her embrace life instead of hiding behind it! She was such an encouragement to me! I want to live like Rachel. Full of love and joy! Not fearing the obstacles in my life but taking them head on and dealing with it. I grew to love this amazing little girl! Rachel is my hero! And i am so glad God placed her in my life!
