Rapidly Changing

My life and heart is rapidly changing and I really can't stop it. I don't want to either, because with each moment a lesson is learned or just being lived. I've took sometime off of my every week route and it has took a ton of effort but was worth every ounce.

 I've noticed that I don't hang out with my friends because I am babysitting or teaching. I've missed a lot of amazing times because I just wanted to be the best I could be during though times, well my youth minister gave some great advice that worked. Crazy how it works when you listen huh?!? Well the advice was, that if the kids give me energy and help me then I should hang out with my friends and not let that get in the way. This month I am teaching Kindergarten through 2nd and I didn't sleep at all Saturday night because I couldn't stop thinking. My youth minister was right, and the kids just made almost everything better while prayer and hanging out with friends made everything else better.

  I hung out with two friends for two days about an hour from where I live, and it was such a nice break. Just to be some where that I don't or haven't spent a ton of time and don't really know that many people who live there. God showed me how much the little moments matter, and boy do they matter. Only twice or maybe three times, since I've gotten my cell phone have I not been on it at least five times a day. Both times I was away from home, getting to know people I've never met and enjoying the little moments. Guess I should take in everything more in person than through my cell.

 Being a teenage girl in the worldly-world, its hard not to have a boyfriend sometimes. I'm not the only to struggle with this. My friend Nikki and I are starting a Bible Study on a book I was given for Christmas this past year. Its called Lady in Waiting by Jackie Kendall and Debby Jones. Its such a great book, and has made a deep impression on my heart. Its about becoming Mrs.Right when you're waiting for Mr.Right, all the while helping you put Christ first in your life. Its a great book for any Christian women, and with the Bible Study I get to create better friendships.

  Music, every type of music has been played in my iTunes this past week. All Christian but Christian in every form has been played. I don't really know why I have been listening to so much music, because even in my sleep I'm listening to Christian Rap and Rock. I'm enjoying it though, because some things I can't say are right there in song. Andrea, an amazing women who has change my life, posted Lead Me by Sanctus Real on her blog the other day. I have heard this song many times but haven't really noticed it, I guess. Well maybe it was from all the husband talk over the two days I hung out with my two friends or if it was the Bible Study but I really listened to it this time. It really has a great meaning to it, and hopefully Sanctus Real will play it when they come to Night Vision this summer.

  I know I keep going from this to that but I am super hyper and ready to write. I heard this song on Pandora a few months ago and has become one of my favorite songs.  Its Thank You by 33Miles, and it really says everything I have to say right now. Just thanking God for everything and putting Him first before anything. I love you all and thank you.
