Saved..and so on and so forth!

I went to church tonight, like I always do on Thursday evenings, and I was asked to help with our kids ministry. As I was being asked this, Vicky was next to me and she looked like she was going to explode if she didn't say what she was going to say. So we both said, "Vicky spit it out!" So she did and said that I hadn't said the Prayer of Salvation yet.....so Pastor Denise asked me, "Well what are you waiting for?" I couldn't honestly answer her. I prayed about this all week long. God stood Pastor Denise in front of me and finally said here is someone who will help you with this and then we can begin a wonderful journey together with me in your heart. I cried...of course I cried! lol I was so happy I was speechless. I felt just like a kid again! It was the most wonderful feeling in the world. I could hardly concentrate in my Romans class and definitely had too much fun just existing. I helped clean up and then went on to play with Elijah and Miley in the teen room. I actually lost track of time and forgot Aubrey was waiting for me....Sorry Aub! Aubrey and I watched the movie UP and it was so cute. I couldn't help but be extremely happy! I knew that something big had changed inside of me and I couldn't wait to see what was next. God works in mysterious ways. I used to think everything happened instantaneously, but no longer is that true.

God has a plan for all of us. He knows exactly what we all need and he has a big map for each and every one of us. Some of our maps link up for a min, a day or a lifetime. Some maps never link up at all, and that is God's choice. Whether or not you are to go down a certain path or meet up with someone is in your destiny within God. He lights our path and leads us to where we need to be at. If we get off our path, God will let us know. God is amazing and his word is what helps us to understand and get through the daily struggles and this thing called life. It's a pretty spectacular thing actually! We all have this wonderful ability to listen to Gods word and live our life to please him. All the hardships that man has created in this world are no longer a concern to us. We listen to God and live to please him. He is the reason we get out of bed in the morning. He is the reason that we do what we do. It may not always be the easiest thing at the time, but it will definitely be worth every minute!

I am the happiest I have ever been in my life! I am so glad that I have such a wonderful family surrounding me and I can't wait for my relationships to grow even stronger. I learned that I have a friend who is willing to come to church and see what this is all about! I welcome her with open arms. She is in for a wonderful surprise if she is really open to it and willing to allow God into her life. I know it won't happen overnight, but I am so glad she is giving it that chance. I have no hard feelings towards anyone. I show no signs of jealousy towards my fellow brothers and sisters. I do not judge anyone that crosses my path, but I let it be known that I am always here for whatever they may need. I will always help to the best of my abilities. I don't always have the money to help but I have the physical ability to work and do manual labor. I love to watch children. They are the most innocent creatures and they only care about playing and having fun. Such a wonderful time of life and so much we can learn from children. They are extremely impressionable yet super smart. I think as adults we can learn a lot from kids.

God will not bring us to what the grace of God cannot get us through!

God Bless us every one!  <3>3
