God's Beauty

This week I had an argument with a friend. He does not believe in God sadly, because he has seen so many things go wrong in his life. He told me he is impressed with the devil. I tried to explain to him that God is testing us through these ways and actions. We are to stand strong. All he talked about was how storms do this and earthquakes and volcanoes did this. He talked about how these things destroy nature as in animals,plants and trees. I am so awe struck in this conversation, because he did not say one thing about life for babies. I brought that subject up and he walked away from me. I wasn't surprised!

GOD ROCKS!!!!!!!

Prayer is so powerful! I have prayed to God to show me if becoming a missionary is what He is calling me to do. Well this month I have been blessed by two families from my job that told me they would sponsor me. I also have a manager from my previous job that told me he would sponsor me! Yes! God Rocks! Also, I have noticed I have been listening to Praise and Worship more than the outside music. I am now this year going twice to weekend youth conferences in Steubenville. I am going also on a week trip to Pennsylvania for a retreat. Also I am going to be a counselor at a camp here in Ohio.

A little update on my missionary decision! I have decided I am going to go to California for four to five months of missionary study. Then they will send me to either India, South America, or the Philippines. As the time comes closer I am nervous about leaving my family! I know though I can do it! I just have to believe in God.

Choices To Make!!!!!!!!

Well this week at Lifeteen we were talking about death. As they talked about this something very strong came into me. It made me look deeper into my life and what ways I wanted to follow. I asked myself, "do I want to take the easy path or the hard path!"
I look at life this way. As I reviewed my life I have really gone through the easy path. As I follow that path I would get weaker and weaker. The path keeps going down a hill. My faith in God was almost totally gone! At the end of that path since it is so easy is a reward! This reward is horrible and scary! As I reached that end I see fire burning, people screaming, and a throne set for a king. In that throne is the devil laughing waiting for me to enter his domain! I know the devil's way is easier, but it only leads to Hell.
Yeah, so what if God's way is hard! There are so many laws we have to follow! This is a blessing! These laws help us live our lives fully for Christ. I want to live with Jesus forever. He is the Alpha, Omega, and my Savior. Today I got really emotional, because there is so much sin out in the world that hurts God. There are times when I even hurt God! It is hard to live your life for God, but it is your choice who you want to live for. God Bless!!!

My Life

Life is rocking on! As the months go by I get anxious for the summer to come. This summer I am going on two retreats. Also I was blessed to be asked to be a counselor at a camp for two foster children. I know that God is planning something special for me. God is so great! I know He is watching me. Well enough about me on to life!
