Youth Convention 2009

This was the end of an amazing weekend. You can obviously tell that we had a good time. God moved in so many ways. Lives were changed. Lives were saved. It was worth it all. The service Friday night was great. Worship was great. Saturday was an eventful day. We were gone from 6:00 a.m till around 7:30 p.m. I was exhausted when I got home. On Friday, we went to bed at 2:20 Saturday morning and got up at 4:45 a.m. to get ready since there were around 10 other girls that had to get ready. During the services on Saturday, the youth group was barely able to stay awake. Once we got back from lunch, we ran towards the front to get crunk with DPB!!! He was there with Ty, Aaron, Dave, and Freddie, his 2 sons. We were so tired after the 2 services. After the 2nd service was over, we went bowling. Out of the 6 girls on my lane, including the youth pastor's wife, I had the highest score. I was happy. When supper time rolled around on Saturday night, we all were happy. After we ate, the girls headed back to my house. We watched Horton Hears A Hoo. It was a good movie. The movie was over around 10:15. After that, we all crashed and went to bed. We were all exhausted and give out. We started getting up and getting ready for church at 6:30. We had to be at church by 8:00 for breakfast. During my quiet time on Friday before youth convention, I was like God break my heart for what breaks yours. Sunday night during prayer at our church, he so did. I began to weep and couldn't move from being in his presence. He began to pour out his love on me, and I just sat there and let him move in me. He wrapped his loving arms around me and said this is for you!!! He scooped me up in his arms and said You are my child, and I will never let you go!!! You are beautiful and my Bride!!!I will never forget that night.

Youth Convention 2009

Starting tomorrow at 3:00p.m., I will be going to Youth Convention with my youth group, Club 24. It is at Cathedral. We are doing a Break-away weekend till Sunday morning. All the girls are staying at my house, and there are about 10 to 15 girls total including me and the pastor's wife. We will not be home Friday night till 11:00. We have to be back at our church for breakfast at 7:30. We have Saturday all planned out with services and activities. We hopefully will be back to my house by 8:00 or 9:00 We will see. I know God is going to show up and move in each one of their lives, as well as the guys. I know lives will be changed. I am kinda ready for it to be over, just the girls at my house part. I know that friendships will be made and girls will grow closer and get to know each other better. I ma believing it is going to rock some people's socks off. It is going to be amazing. Let me tell you. I know DPB will be there on Saturday. I was like yeah!!!

I have practically lived at Cathedral for most of this week. I helped set up Monday for the Basement Tuesday night. I was there Tuesday night for the Basement, and then I will be there this Friday and Saturday. I am like man.

I hope to have some pictures up on here sometime after Sunday morning church if I am not to tired and go to bed early from lack of sleep. I might need to go buy me a monster before church so I can stay awake and pay attention. HAHA!!!

Doctor Visit

Well, what started off as a sore throat turned into more than that. My throat started hurting back at the end of January. It went away so I didn't think much of it. I was like yay!!! I don't have to go to the doctor. Well, 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday, my mom woke my up around 6:30 telling me she was leaving for work. I didn't have to get up till 7:15 to get ready for school. When she woke me up, I was like crap. My throat was hurting and my mouth was dry from breathing through my mouth during the night. I was like great, I am getting sick. I kept putting off going to the doctor because I took some medicine for like 3 days and I felt a little better. Well, I proved myself wrong. A week ago today, I noticed it all coming back and gradually getting worse. I was coughing so bad and it was driving me crazy. I had taken some Robitussin for like 3 days at night time hoping it would somewhat knock me out so I could sleep. Well, it did for a little while and then I started coughing more as it was wearing off. Yesterday, me, my parents, and my nana were sitting in the den since we could not go outside or do anything because of the snow. My dad says you are going to the doctor in the morning. I was like ok whatever. I am so glad I did. After spending a little over 2 hours there between waiting, getting x-rays, getting my blood drawn, and then finding out that I have BRONCHITIS!!! I was like great. COuld my day get any worse. I got a shot in each hip and 2 prescriptions. I got to the doctor's office at 9:45 and I did not leave till 12:05. No lie. I was so ready to get out of there. So, my morning was shot at the doctor's office. I will never wait this long again before I go to the doctor.

Women's Leadership Meeting

I am so privileged to be able to serve with each one of these girls. They all have such a servant's heart, and want to see people come to know him. We had a women's leadership meeting Saturday at the Jenkins' house. It was incredible. We were poured into by some women on God. God was so there. I got convicted but I know God was doing a work in me, which I needed. My heart just began to break. Like some of the girls said, we are the backbone of this ministry. We have to keep praying and pressing on each week. Even though we will get tired and weary, we got to keep fighting and pressing on. We all were encouraged by each other, and I got fired up. I am so ready for this Tuesday. God kept speaking to me so clear. I know I needed to change and fix the things that were not right in me. I was so stinkin encouraged by everybody there. There is no one else that I would rather serve with than these girls. I am ready to take my walk to the next level, no matter what it takes or the cost. I have a new fire in me and needs to be let out. It has been kept up to long. His love Saturday was amazing. I could feel his arms wrapped around me the whole time. I know that I have to keep pressing in for more of him. I am truely grateful that I was able to go Saturday. I was suppose to work, but God had other plans. Thank God for the rain. If it had not have rained, I would have not been able to go. There was a reason for me to have gone to this meeting, and now I know why. God has a reason for everything. These girls are the best!!!
