What Keeps You?

Tonight at youth our YP really brought some things home! He came out of Genesis 1:27-

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

Now, you here that scripture and think "oh he is talking holiness" Wrongo Bucko. First, he discussed 3 of the 7 dimensions. He talked about the 1st dimension and related it to "Point A to Point B" then he said the 2nd Dimension is "Back and Forth" and 3rd Dimension "Knowledge." Man, he said the lowest dimension that the Lord wants us to be in is the 3rd Dimension!!

Then he proceeded to ask us what connects to our church and our youth group. Some said family, some said prayers, and some said the feeling they felt. Then he asked what keeps you coming back....HMMM...I thought....Jesus...having nothing to go back too...Then he answered YOU keep you coming back. We have our own will and we can decide not to come back!! WOW, Lord thank you for the free will!! I thank the Lord that I have made the decision to keep coming back!!

So, I leave with this question...WHAT KEEPS YOU?

I Don't Wanna Grow Up..

Remember when you were a Kid? Your life revolved around your parents, your best friend for that week and what you were going to eat. Life was so much easiar. There were no bills to pay or cars to fix all that mattered was that what ever you were doing you were having a blast. I always wanted to be grown up, I was so excited to be able to drive and not have to take a nap. Let me tell its not all what it is cracked up to be LOL. I was excited to fall in love and get married. And now I am completely petrified!!! WHAT IF I MARRY THE WRONG ONE...Man life was easy back in the day. You dated the guy on the playground that ran the fastest or whose mom packed the best snack. Now you have to consider Jobs, Money, Location, Likes, Dislikes, and most importantly is he the will of God. One of my best friends is getting married. Once again I am the maid of honor and once again my brain is spinning. Lord, help me LOL. At this point im stuck in limbo. Stuck between a Rock and a Hardplace wondering which is right and which is wrong. Praying that the Lord shows me. -I just looked at my wall and there is a paper that reads- In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct they paths. -Proverbs 3:6. So, guess that answered alot of things. Whatever the Lords will is let it be done. But, I wont lie I still wish I could be a Kid again!!

HiiiYAAH DEVIL...Chuck Norris To the Throat!!

Okay, so this post is for my Family. I would like to say that we have been through Hell and High water!! The Devil has been trying to take us out day and night. He has attacked our finances, our bodies, and our family as whole! And let me tell you that we are so sick and tired of it!!

But we have over come everything...Here are a few testamonies.

1. B and Sissy just got an appartment for an amazing deal.
2. Mom is only wearing skirt and NO MAKE UP
3. Sean is Going to a Holiness church!!
4. Papito is growing in the WORD!!
5. I am Passing my classes and my case is closing Wednesday.
6. We are all being used in the work of the Lord.
7. Misha got the revelation of Holiness.
8. God is doing Signs and Miracles.
9. People are getting Saved.
10. People are getting delivered.
11. People are getting Healed.
12. And REVIVAL IS BREAKING OUT!!!

So, just a general announcement. Devil I know you are reading this... You are probably shaking in your boots, probably dumbfounded about what you can do next or what trick you can throw at us... WELL YOU HAVE NOTHING THAT CAN STOP THE LORD!! Therefore, get your grimmy little paws off our loved ones and back up... Cause In Jesus Name you always LOSE!

The Peace of Knowing That God is in Control...

Have you ever felt like you are going to lose your mind? Like at any moment your head was going to explode? Or that you were going to burst into tears if anyone asked if you were doing okay or if your day was going well? I am so positive that we have all had those moments... I feel like that has been my week. Issue after issue, problem after problem, conflict after conflict, and test after test...

Man, at points I wonder if I am going to make it. How can this all happen in the matter of four days? I guess I was kinda of having those WHY ME MOMENTS. But, to tell you the truth I am so blessed to be trusted to go through these trials.

(In your mind right now you are thinking, she was just complaining and going on about how everything is hitting her at once and now she is saying that she is blessed to be going through this...OKAY THIS CHICK IS CRAZY)

You are completely right my friend. I am absolutely positiving insane about...Jesus. You see i go through these test and trial because the Lord knows that I can endure. He knows that I do not put my trust in man but all of my trust is in Him. PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD. Honestly I know that the good Lord is in control of my whole entire life that He has a purpose of every test and trial and the outcome is always perfect. It may not be as i wish, or as i hoped but it is how He intended it to be. God is in control...He is the creator and ruler of all things!!

So, My Teacher told me yesterday that her office mate would be in around two so i could return my book to him. I got out of class early so i headed to the office around one. I decided to camp out until he came. As i was waiting my favorite teacher from last semester was making fun of my for waiting there... I told him this was a serious situation... And that i needed a tent.

One Hour Passed and i was getting upset thinking of all the things i could be doing...EATING. I start to pray "Lord, Please. OKAY if not by two hows two thirty.." Moments later a man approaches he was hooded but i could see part of his face.

He approached the door and Knocked, I say "He isnt there, hes supposed to be here around 2" as he looks at his watch he says "how long have you been waiting?" i say "about an HOUR"
All the sudden he is silent and looks around goes into his wallet and pulls a SWORD..ok may not a SWORD but nontheless a credit card.

He starts trying to pick the lock. I at this point am ignoring him thinkin that his efforts are in vain, so i continue my game of solitare....THEN WALAAAH....The door swings open and his illegal efforts have paid off. I throw in a few sarcastic remarks and he says give me the book ill put it on her desk....With a smile i hand him the book and run home to eat!!!

Little did he know he was the answer to my prayers!!!
