Just a side-note

I know I said get ready for a bunch of blog posts and haven't posted a blog since. Well, I was sick for a few days and still getting over it, plus it seems like I have no time for myself. From school to home I am busy, busy and busy. Although I still find time during school to talk about Jesus. I think my English teacher reads more about what I have to say about what God has done than anything else.

Right now I feel like my life is missing something. I'm not quite sure what it is because I have it all: a group of friends who help my focus stay on God, a mentor family that drives me crazy sometimes, a bundle of brothers and sisters, a church where I can always hear God's voice in the message, teachers who get on my nerves and a home life that I can always cope with. What am I missing? Most of the teens at school would say a boyfriend, while the others would say a daily job.  Neither of those are it but I'm hoping God will tell soon.

At youth group this week we learned about different forms of worship during music worship. Well before I started going to Grace and the Grove, I thought people who raised their hands were freaks. Now I happen to be one of those freaks, but I learned a lot a year an half ago when our youth pastor, Jason, gave a similar message. This past message really opened my eyes to different ways I worship when I'm going through different things. This week was not a week I was raising my hands and singing loudly, which I normally do when lots of stuff is going on and I need help or I am just really loving life. This week was kind of different, but it was still amazing. I love how each person worships differently, it shows just how much God loves us to be able to connect with us in our own way.


"How He Loves" by the David Crowder Band keeps playing, around me and in my thoughts. Yesterday I was just hanging out with my mentor family, and it played during lunch. Then at youth they played it twice, but of course that wasn't enough times I've heard it once today and have gone through it over and over in my mind. Every time the lyrics come to," I don't have time to maintain these regrets..." I pause. I'm not sure what it means but I surely hope I don't have any regrets.

Prayer Requests:


My mentor family needs prayer, their family is going through a bit lately. From having the kids' Grandpa in ICU their mother is gone and its start to take its toll on each member of their family.

I need prayer of staying strong in school and being around sin all the time. I'm finding myself getting sucked into it more and more. Just please pray that I replace all of the awful words thought and stuff with God's word.

Please be praying for my youth pastor,his wife and their family. I'm pretty sure they still don't know if she still has cancer or not. Not quite sure about that though.

And if you could please say a prayer for the high school. Just so that God could be seen a little bit more there because I know kids who have faith in God but at school God is like a poison to them.


Thank you for your prayers, love you all very much,
