Hey ya'll!
So yesterday I participated in a thing called, "the broken bread meal." It was tough i tell you what! So Its where you eat the food that the kids and people in Africa eat. It did not taste very good but thats okay. So many kids are suffering because they do not have enough money to buy even a meal a day. One girl in her story said that she would give up her meals for her siblings and she would work all day with no place to lay her head at night. This just breaks my heart...but once again what am I doing about it? Nothing. After that I went out to dinner with my friends for a birthday party...then i thought oh good I am a part of this statistic that while 13,000 kids will die today while we will spend 1 billion dollars on food. WOW! How many times have I complained about the food here at school and how bad it is how much food I waste! I hope that you allow God to work in you and break you. I am broken now...now what do I do??

So lately I have been thinking about serving over seas...it is a big step in my faith, in trusting, and kinda in my packet! haha

I was thinking pretty deeply about it and then this traveling team came and spoke about missions over seas. Like wow thanks God for kind of confirming to me. I have so many choices as well. He really broke my heart for the unreached people of the world. I really would like to talk with people about God and be that first person that they come in contact with, with Christian. Once again God has broken my heart. Let me ask you a question...

what wreaks you...and what are you doing about it??

Think about this and maybe talk to me about it sometime!

Life is hard, we go through it complaining, like Nehemia, he complained for a good four months straight and then he was like uhh what am I doing...I should be praising God for what he has given me and he was like all whooo again. It was the point that he was feeling wreaked and he was doing nothing about it.

What are you going to do about the things that wreak you??

Everything else as worthless

Oh what a day it was today! So I got a chance to talk with a friend who I dont get to see very often, well I mean I get to see her about every day but we have not got the chance to sit down and talk for a while. I am very excited that I got that chance to do so today.

God had provided us with an amazing night of chit chat. We ended up having coffee and talking about what God is teaching us and how we are using our talents to glorify God. I know that I personally struggle with pride and glorifying self and not for God. So it is really good to be reminded that God has given me these talents to bring praise to his name. I really enjoy playing bass guitar, dancing, and playing hockey...I look at them all in a new light now...knowing that my life would be wasted if I didnt glorify God in everything and every moment.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ [Philippians 3:8]!!

What if we really did live this way...counted everything as worthless because we know Jesus, how often do I put other things that are worthless in front of God. More than I would like...once is even too much!

The love that God has on us is amazing and all he wants to do is love you, do you want to assume that responsibility and accept that relationship and glorify him?? I know I do! He gives and all he asks is, will be have a relationship with us! Thats pretty legit my friends!! :)

The previous posts were made by my lovely roomie...well today we are doing the prayer booth again today...not too many people though. This week was pretty rough for me actually. I really felt like I was constantly feeling like the world was being pushed down on me. It was really upsetting. There was one day were I was really upset and I broke down in tears almost all day. I felt as if God was pushing these trials on me and I was well I finally gave in and gave it up to God. It was hard, really hard, but to be able to talk to someone who listens while im going through a tough time was nice. To know that someone was on my side was nice too. Life is hard, not everyone thinks like you, think before you speak, make wise choices, and listen to what God has to say...this is what he taught me this week through my sufferings. I am really thankful for my friends as well, who helped me through it, through reminding me that God loves me and I should boast in my sufferings. I am on the road upward and really excited to see what God has planned for tonight through this joint worship night with Cru and IV. God loves you and wants to listen to what you have to say! <3>
