blah blah blah

So it's about 2 weeks until I turn 21. Yippee...not. I have a feeling it's going to suck. My parents are leaving out of town on my birthday ha so I'll be alone. how fun. k bye.

All it takes..

So this week has been a little crazy. Revival is going on at the church and it's just mind blowing the things we're learning. Since sunday morning every service gets a little more intense haha.

Sometimes all it takes is a little push to get you on the right path. Tonight I saw people that have been hurting for many different reasons healed. I saw Matt and Amanda healed tonight that was amazing to me. They may not know it but I look up to Matt so much. He's helped me understand a lot of things. I'm happy to see these things happening for people it's amazing.

God is moving in our church and the rest of the world big time. It's amazing to see everything that's happened. Out of all the darkness that some people are having a light will come. We just gotta hold on to what we have and have faith in Him and not be afraid to give everything we have.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night to see what's in store for us. I have a very good feeling I will not be disappointed. : D

So the other night i was looking at my grandpas bible and i opened it to where he had it marked. He had Hebrews 12:5-11 highlighted.

It says: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.'' Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Just thought I'd share that.

Things change

Lately I've come to realize that I really don't miss the old me. I'm actually loving everything that's happening right now. Everyday i'm getting stronger and stronger and it's not going to stop. Just like the song I'm listening to right now says, "I refuse to be denied. I'm coming after you."
: D

But anyways, today I went to wal-fart and bought some new pants finally. I'm proud of myself for actually staying committed to losing weight. It's hard, but well worth it in the end. I learned a lot about the guitar today too, stuff I didn't really understand before but now I do. I think it's gonna open up the understanding of theory and everything else musically now.


Overall though I'm happy with my life. Some things might not be that great right now but so what. What I have at this moment in time is where it's at haha.

So

Last night was pretty good. Good word at church and everything worked out nicely. Got to hang out with Terry and Kylie at chilis haha those two are awesome. We will see what they have in store for the Awakening group tonight.

So I've been thinking lately about what i wanna do for a career and i keep coming back to being a corrections officer. I'm not sure yet if it's what i wanna do but i'm going to look into it and pray about it. I'm almost 21 and it's time to start thinking about this stuff cuz i don't wanna be stuck living with my parents for ever haha. Hopefully I can figure something out soon.

The Post

So today the youth went down to valencia for a youth rally. It was pretty fun we talked the whole way there about whatever and just had a good time. The service though man it was awesome. Worship was great and the word especially really hit home with a lot of people i'm sure. I like what Terry said about our generation and how "adults" will look down on us because we are young but actually we are first children and then we are capable.

The thing that really hit home though was on the way back on the bus. Matt just spoke the truth about things we were questioning or wondering about. And with him talking about these things it kinda made me take a second look at my own life and ask myself what are you doing to yourself and not only that but to those around me. Then when me and my brother drove home i had a talk with him about how we need to be examples in our own home as well to our parents because they need to see what God has done in our lives. We all do things that aren't right but that's why we ask for forgiveness and one thing i told my brother is i am your older brother i shouldn't be doing something and setting the wrong example for you. So basically today was a real eye opener and i thank God that this all happened.

And now it is time for bed because i'm pooped and i gotta wake up in the morning. a;lskdl;fakljsdfjl;asjdljfk haha.
