Summer Job?

Does anyone have any ideas for a summer job? I kinda need some help finding one. Let me know if you have any ideas!

Living Life in the Fast Lane

Well, yesterday was graduation. I wanted to give a shout out to my other class mates and friends that graduated in the proud Class of 2009! Congrats! But now what? What to do with my time? I have been thinking about the song by Matthew West "Motions" its one of my favs. But it talks about how you dont just want to live life going through the motions and then at the end ask yourself, "What if I had given everything?" I dont want to live my life like that. I want to live a life always serving God and others, never myself. I never want to feel satisfied where I am at, but I definitely want to get out of this annoying cycle of nothingness I find myself tumbling through. I want to reach out to those in need, and also to those that are greedy. It's not only the poor we need to reach out too, but also the rich. Mark 10:25 says, " It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Reach out to everyone. Don't just live life going through the motions.

"Motions"

This might hurt, it's not safe

But I know that I've gotta make a change

I don't care if I break,

At least I'll be feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,

"What if I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time

I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind

Let Your love make me whole

I think I'm finally feeling something

'Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

Done with school!

Well I am finally done with high school. I am really excited to see what God has instore for me. Something that God has made clear to me lately is your purpose. If you are still alive, you still have a purpose here. I love the feeling of knowing that God made you for one purpose, he didnt make a bunch of you's for the same purpose incase you messed it up. God made you and then he broke the mold. Just dont ever think that you have no purpose on this earth because you do. Rick Warren, who wrote The Purpose Driven Life says, "God designed EACH OF US so there would be no duplication in the world. No one had the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you....It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny." Seek God and find what out His will for you, and do it whole heartly, because no one else will serve the purpose that He has for you here on earth.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Dream Big!

Hey everyone,
Welcome to my new blog. I thought I would start up a blog so that I could share some stuff that God has been laying on my heart lately. Dream big! I've been reading a book called The Dream Giver that my friend Elle gave me for graduation. (Thanks LA, I love it!) It talks about how everyone has a dream that God has given them but only certain people decide to pursue it. A few things that stop us are, what other people think, the "invisible wall of fear" that comes between it, and that comes along with leaving our comfort zone. When I went to Jamaica, there was a number of things that were way out of my comfort zone that I had not done before. To my surprise, it was fun, frustrating me that only fear was what was holding me back. We need to remind ourselves that God knows what he is doing. When we turn to go back in our comfort zone, don't ignore the voice that calls out, "Where are you going?" Listen and pray, have God guide you in your dreams.

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
