Apparently xanga is being brought back and its great :)

I dont really know what to write so I guess I will write about Jesus, hes pretty great after all.

Tonight at Souled Out I could so see Jesus in people and it was incredible.

We were singing Glorious One by Steve Fee and to see the kids worshipping Jesus, especially Abi, was truly awe

inspiring. To see her maturing and growing, it feels like I've maybe made some sort of an impact.

Tonight Joe talked about his trip to Uganda and the pictures of the people were absolutetly beautiful. They were

so...joyful. Joe said that they were constantly saying they were blessed. They say they are blessed. They have

nothing, especially one particular lady. She is 50ish years old and has AIDs which she contracted from her

husband. She has had this terrible disease for 15 years. She is blind in one eye, and can barely walk. She lives in a

hut. Joe said he went up to the hut and the lady put on her best clothing to see him. She walked to the door and let

Joe in, but then immediately had to lay down because she had no more strength. Joe said that she was constantly

saying, "I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed."  She lives in a hut and is dying, yet she can say she is blessed.

I complaing all of the time about the pettiest little things. I need ot change this attitude. This lyric came to mind,

"Yes I can see the light that is coming for the heart that holds on. There will be an end to these troubles but until that day comes, still I will praise you. Still i wil praise you."

My God is Not dead!!

Again another 3 months since I have updated. A lot has happened. Matt and Sarah Kocher moved to Ohio, Tad Connie and Daniel McBride moved to Tennessee, Amy and Ted Kohcer move to Ohio this Saturday, and Pastor Mark resigned. So its tough but I know God is helping me to grow through this. School is ok. I already have senioritis though and its bad. Wednesday night youth is going really well so that is good. I have applied to Anderson University and Purdue University. I am pretty sure I have hit all the major points of my life

* Live wisely among those who are not Christians, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and effective so that you will have the right answer for everyone. -Colossians 4:5-6*

So I have written in on here for about 3 months because my life is crazy and I honestly forgot that I even had it. Yeah because I am that cool. I just got back from an amazing trip to Anaheim California for IYC. God is sooo amazing and cool and I can honestly say that I dont think my relationship with Him has ever been better. Here is one of my new favorite bible passages:

"I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpases knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
Ephesians 3:16-20

I also have been questioning what I am supposed to do with my life. I know that God wants me in youth ministry but I don't know necessarily if I am supposed to be a youth pastor. But who knows? Only God knows. I have just been so confused about my future lately. But Kim Schuessler really encouraged me this week. She just reminded of things that I knew. I know that God doesn't want me to be scared or confused. But I just have to be reminded of things.

This past month I have become really close to Martha Webb. She is honestly one of my favorite people ever. She is so encouraging and loving and...amazing. She has encouraged me and helped me grow a lot  I thank God for her everyday.

My senior is coming up. I hope to reach out to my friends and really impact them with Jesus Christ's love a lot.

Well that is an update on my life. Hopefully it wont be another 3 months until I write on here again.
