Life is Awesome because God is Awesome!

Yes, life is good :) I was so ministered to in Church this morning! He really spoke to my heart, especially in beginning a healing process. I was hurt by a friend and it's been hard to let them go. My friend is and has been walking away from God and pursuing their own life, and that breaks my heart. But I know that I can trust Jesus to intercede for thier salvation and also to heal my own heart.

In the mean time, I am so excited about work! I have several dear friends who also have a heart to see people saved and healed and restored and I am very excited that we can all agree together for salvation and change in our store! Besides work there is not much going on. I have the freedom to spend time with friends now and I love it! I am off to work once again, so I hope you all have a wonderful day!

The End

There comes a time in life when we realize that we have achieved a goal. For the past two years mine has been to graduate with my associates degree. Tonight I realized that the time is very close....only 5 days! Today I took my last final and tomorrow I have my exit recital. I am so excited! I have been dreaming the past few days about walking onto that stage in my gorgeous evening gown, my hair a pile of curls, and I confess not thinking enough about bringing light into the darkenss. Instead, I've been thinking of how beautiful I will be and how I will leave an impression. Yes, I know that everyone will say I'm wonderful, but what is important is that I give glory to the Father. He gave me this gift and he could take it away at any time. So tonight I repent of my selfishness and take a new step forward - a step toward freedom. When I walk onto that stage tomorrow night I will not shine because I look beautiful, I will shine because His light radiates from deep within my soul. I KNOW HIM! That's what I want everyone to see. There is a man named Jesus who loves me and I can express his glory through music. That is the impression that I want to leave and with that I say goodnight. I feel tonight that a huge burden has been lifted. I have hit a mark and now it's time to move on to the next goal, but in between - finally - there will be time to breathe. I didn't realize until just now how much I need that time.

"Be still and know that I am God..."
