| This is my first journal entry, yay!!!! I would like to welcome everyone to this really awesome website; created by christian women, for women, (and guys, too, if you guys really want...lol). This whole week has been just an awesome week for my relationship with God...
You would not believe how this week began... Sunday night was a terrible night... but everything happens for a reason, right? What happened was that I had been dating this guy for ten months, and Sunday night we broke up. Now most people would not be able to find the good in this... I'm getting to that part (chill out, will yah, haha) Anyway, things weren't working out anymore and it had to end. :( But Monday morning God showed me his awesome power and love in the comfort that not even a whole gallon of rocky road could offer! I hadn't been able to sleep Sunday night at all. I was up all night trying to calm down and collect my thoughts on everything that had happened. Granted, I had wanted to break up, but I had been hoping the relationship could be repaired somehow. So Monday morning I did an extremely large amount of praying. I think I was almost in constant prayer from the moment I woke up. l can't even explain the peace God gave me... (to be continued...) |

| Oh the wonders the Lord has shown me. I am still on this sort of "God-High." lol I know it's not the kind of high you usually hear about... but seriously, I have seen God do great things in the past week and a half! The biggest example I believe was how the Lord could give me so much strength through something that would tear most people apart. I left off last week writing about the peace that God gave me. Now more than ever I realize just how stable God his. He truly is a rock, one that I want to be my solid foundation in life. I have recieved great joy from the Lord. Some people have asked me if I would ever go out with that guy again. And I don't think I would. Somehow I don't believe that he's in God's plan for me, and I'm okay with that. I'm very excited to see what God has in store for my life. He has already done great things. I've had the oppurtunity to witness several times recently. It's amazing how God could use someone like me to tell others about him: I know I don't have what it takes to do it on my own. But God does have a plan for everyone. That is so awesome: I've realized it doesn't matter who you are... God still has a purpose for you, he can still use you to do his work. All you have to do is listen to him. I pray that you would also find those little opportunities to share God's word and recieve joy from obeying God. It's one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had. Have a good week, everyone!! |

| Welcome to November!! Wow! Have things been so busy!! This past month has been completely awesome!! I'm still single (that seems to be a good thing right now...) and I'm learning how to play guitar (since last week). I can already play four or five songs!! It's fun. I've met a zillion more people and I'm challenged everyday in finding some way to show Jesus' love to EVERYONE! I have no idea what God is doing through me, I'll probably never know, but I know that God does awesome things, and that's my motivation. I've been improving in a lot of ways with my relationship with Christ: the next little self-project is tides -- giving a portion of my (very minute) wealth to the Lord. I found out that also includes promoting a better relationship with God... so the 50 bucks I spent on Fall Conference counts for the next couple of weeks, whoo hoo! J/k. I'm confident that the Lord will be faithful and reward me with whatever I need when I am faithful to him. So we'll see what happens. I leave tomorrow for Fall Conference!! When I get back I'll be sure to post the hightlights! Alright! I got mucho tarea to do, so I better get going (that means homework by the way...) Thanks for checking in, GOD BLESS! |
