Words

So last night was WINTERJAM and it was amazing.  It was the first time I hade been and the first time I felt accepted in a church.  I shared something with the kids that they definitely didn't know about me.  I forget sometimes that I have to b careful what I say.  You see sometimes we can say things and forget the age group we are talking to.  So let me go ahead and apologize for how I tell things.  Some things aren't appropriate to say to certain people.  I sometimes don't think of the age of innocence.  I just think just because kids hear it in school that it is ok for me to say it.  Kids are so vulnerable and what we to them they take it to heart.  I just feel like sometimes I can't control what comes out of my mouth.  I hpe that the joke I made doesn't influence the kids or even make them not get the moral of the story I shared.  I shared it because I don't know if the kids fully understand how important their actions are.  So with that being said I need prayer to watch what I say and when I say it not that it was mean or ugly it just might not have been appropriate.  Well I love you kids and hope that you understand how hard it was for me to share that story with you last night.  I love you so much!!!

No Satisfaction

I am satisfied with what I have done and who I have become.  I am praying for God's will this year.  I know that I am satisfied with who I have become but I want my personal Savior Jesus Christ to be satisfied with who I am.  It took me a long time to learn what being satisfiend was.  Thanks to my two friends "Isiah" and Hope I would have never learned that.  I have never been this satisfied with my life and with what I have.  Jesus has done some remarkable things in my life.  I just want others to be able to see Christ in me. 


I started going back to church the middle of last year and it was the best thing I could have done for my life. I want this year to be about Him. I want more of Him and I want to do His work he has asked of us. I love working with the youth. And I will say this until I am blue in the face but when I started I wanted to work with High school girls but that is not where God wanted me at East Pointe. You see if we don't start giving the middle schoolers the right mind set now then what are we doing as leaders, mentors, and adults. I want those girls to know about God and how wonderful He is and if we follow Him then we will be guaranteed a life of eternity with Him. I love working with the yous so much that I wanted more of younger people so I have signed up to work at Generation Next. God led me to that place on the Internet. I am so in love with Christ and I know that He has big plans for me and until he shows them to me then I will do nothing but pray and worhip Him and His will. So for those of you who read this then pray that Gods will be done in our church and especially in our youth because that's where it all starts. I want middle schoolers to know that its easy to be a Christian and serve Him now because you are surrounded by it all the time but one day you might not be. So I want you to do me a favor and surround yourself with God everyday. I strayed away and did a lot of things that I am not proud of and it was hard for me to get where I am today with my relationship with Christ. Jesus Christ is my hero. I wouldn't change what happened to me for anything because it made my relationship with Him a lot stronger. But, I will say that it wasn't easy. Also remember to always let your light shine!!!
