So....i have totally been slackin on here. Um where should I start? A couple weeks ago we had camp meeting and it was amazing. The gospel sounds really rocked it (but what else would you expect from them) Tim Hill is the one who spoke and i dont know, it really opened my eyes to A LOT of stuff.
Everything he said was so true. Also about a week before that my best friend in the whole entire world gave her
to Jesus. We met at work and have been like sisters for the past three and a half years. She is 19 and has a 3 1/2 year old son who is adorable. We both are college students so we have to be creative when we want to go do something. That has gottin us into trouble MANY times but I was talking with my pastors wife once and I told her i'm kinda glad that Blake (my friend) has seen me make mistakes. I definatly dont want her coming into a relationship with Jesus thinking that she must be perfect all the time. I"m glad she has seen me fall, but i'm really glad i got back up even when it seemed like the hardest thing to do. I love this girl to death and am very excited to see where God is going to take her. I KNOW He has major plans for her life. Right now i'm visiting my old youth pastors in Wyoming for 3 weeks and leaving her at home is so hard. I never realized how it would be. I worry to death about her just hoping and praying she makes good decisions. I try to talk with her everyday and encourage her. So far she is doing well.
Also when i came out to wyoming there is a little boy in their church who was 6 months old. He had been in the hospital since he was 4 months. He was on life support and all that and last night at midnight they "pulled the plug". Although i didn't know this boy or his family it really moved me. Just kinda opened my eyes to how fortunate i am, and yet at moments in my life i go 2 to 3 weeks without praying. Come on now, i dont mean praying over my food or the patty cake prayer before bed, i mean getting on my face and spending intimate time with God. I think this trip has been really good for me so far. i dont have to worry about making my car payment or getting up for work or anything. I can just kinda hang out. It really has allowed me to see just how little of my time i give to God. Because i have very little responsibilites out here i am doing my best to increase that time and strengthing my relationship with God. I dont want this to be just another "vacation eye-opener". I want this to continue when i get home and the real world slaps in the face Monday morning.
