SO DO IT
So I woke up this morning and I was super positive about the day. I just knew that God is going to do something flippin amazing. Well, you know He always does, but today feels like it is going to be extra special. I was reading today about praying the scriptures. I never realized how much they open you up for new and more things to pray about. It was absolutely wonderful. I especially like praying the Psalms.
On the way to the office today the whole entire street was blocked off by ambulances, fire trucks, and cop cars. There was a huge fire at this nail salon. It was quite crazy.
Don't you love blessings? I love blessing people and I love to be blessed. Today I got super blessed by one of my friends. He payed for something for me that wasn't cheap.
Today, Amanda moves into the house. Last night I had to spend the night alone because Amethyst went to Orlando to visit family and veg on some delicious Mexican food. It was cool to be alone for once. It's been a while since I've been able to get away from everyone. It's always funny to see what you do when you are alone. Last night I found myself ironing for hours. Who irons for that long? Apparently me. HA
For the past week or so I've been having multiple dreams about one of my friends and I wake up crying. I don't even remember what the dreams are about. Can anyone tell me what this means?
Hey, look for a really cool scripture today and ask God who you should share it with. Maybe it's me... SO DO IT!

Hannah
I was recently reading in 1 Samuel about the story of Hannah. She had longed for so long to have one child but it wouldn't happen for her. She would go to the temple time after time and cry out to God for just one son. She had told God that if He granted her one Son, she would give him up to the church. Have you ever found yourself wanting something so bad that you were just willing to have it for a moment and give it up later? It seems to be happening more and more often.
Yesterday, i got to visit my hometown. I've been doing that a lot more lately. I think I've realized how much everyone there is like my family. I got to see something super special. Yesterday was baptismal Sunday at Calvary Christian Center. These times are alway my favorite. I get to see how people's lives have been transformed. I got to see two of my old friends from years ago get into a tub full of water and put away their old lives and rise up as new beings in Christ. But my favorite baptismal would have to have been my little sister Christy's. I know I am a little bias but her testimony was so powerful. I got to see a yung girl with the boldness and faith I sometimes long for. She is really my idol. I definitely lost it when my dad was sharing how they pulled over on the side of the road just so she could give her life to t he Lord. It was so powerful.
Other things that are going on right now.... well, yes... lots of things have been happening. I just moved into another place... hopefully I can stay in this one for a little while longer. I also got a little part time job at one of the local coffee shop. It should be nice making a couple extra dollars. I am really really praying now for a car. My second car died on me this month :( But I know God wont let me down. I'm believing for a car that will work! Other than that I've been pouring many many hours into the office at Overland Missions. It's been wonderful. God has been teaching me tons of stuff. I can't wait to see what is going to happen within the next year.
