I've been thinking a lot about relationships and all and I'm totally oblivious. Honestly I don't know where I will be in ten years, a married missionary or a single one. A lot of people are kind of afraid of being single for the rest of their lives specially missionaries. Seriously though in thinking about it I think I could be single for the rest of my life, however I feel very strongly that there is someone out there the God is going to bless me with. It may not be now, it may not even be in the next five years, but it's worth the wait.
Between now and whenever this man will come into my life I have to focus on God and the plan he has for me now. My heart cannot focus on the things that I want for myself in this world, a husband, children, and anything else. If I never get those things but keep my heart focused on God and fill my heart with his love for the people of the world and follow through on that love then I will never be in want for a husband or children. However it will truly be a blessing if God sees it fit to bestow those things on me, and everyday I will thank Him for them. So whoever you are if I'm even supposed to meet you, I don't know where I'll find you or even if I'm meant too, but even still I will praise the Lord for all the blessings I have now.
Peace

To whom shall we go?
So I've been reading in the book of John. I've read it before but you can read the Bible many times over and still find new things, and still be awestruck by the verses.
John 6:67-69 caught me. I read it and felt it's power. The chapter talks about feeding the five thousand and Jesus walking on water and also the bread from Heaven. What first struck my interest in the chapter was Jesus being rejected. Then it continued with disciples turning away because they couldn't handle what Jesus what speaking of. After many had left, Jesus turned to the twelve and said, "Do you also want to go away?" Okay so this struck me in a number of ways because what an honor it is to be chosen by Jesus himself while he is on earth to follow Him everywhere and learn EVERYTHING directly from the mouth of the son of God. Wow. Also, to turn away from that, especially since they had very obvious physical proof that he is the Messiah, is crazy talk.
Anyways, those verses, John 6:67-69 goes as follows:
67"Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you also want to go away?' 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.' 69 'Also we have come to believe and know that You are Christ, the Son of the living God."
For real? How awesome is that? "Lord to whom shall we go?" Like, where would I go if I didn't have Christ in my life? I would return to the world, the ugly worthless world. So basically I would go to nothing. It almost seems like Simon Peter was like "Um...Jesus....we got nowhere else to go cuz we have kinda been waiting awhile for you and you have the keys." Not only that but He professes that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.
I don't know...just something that amazed me when I read it. Kinda cool how God's word can do that. Sweet.
Happy reading.

Creepy things made better
Last night at MACU was this worship service we call FRAZ. It was kind of wierd because we did a skit and played the part of "lead demon." This skit was about Job and how he served God and expected nothing back after he lost it all. As a "demon" we were told to be as creepy as possible, and I totally got into character. As most people who I affiliate with know...it's not hard for me to be creepy but I had to be demonic creepy. Now as a child of God I pretty much felt like I had to pray before doing this.
Not only did I have to be demonic creepy but I had to be the one on stage with "satan" pretty much at his feet marveling at him. Of course I knew this was for a good outcome but truly when we role play there is always a possibility that we can get sort of infatuated with that character. Though it was a small part of the skit I believe it was a big part of the story.
However, when our part was done we all went into the pues and worshipped God, I know I did with all my might. It was such a cleanser from portraying this demon to really worshipping. It was such a great feeling to really feel God after all that crazy acting. God makes life so much happier and he definately turns any dark situation to light.
