Passing the Test

This past Sunday I was going to try and go to First Baptist (see 1st blog) but something happened. i didn't go because I would just be too distracted. Now i know what your thinking... "what the heck are you talking about" well this guy i know goes to that church and he even asked me for a ride and everything. And he is just too cute! lol I cant really believe I'm putting this on here but he's basically gorgeous! lol :D So anyway i decided not to go because I would just be too distracted by his beautiful face! XD

ANYWAY now I'm very embarrassed by putting that... I went to Hillvue on Sunday and i LOVED it. But i did miss Living Hope a lot! The pastor was hilarious! but what he talked about was just fantastic and what i needed to hear. He was talking bout being tested and us prevailing over testing. How God gives us ridiculous requests, like Abraham sacrifices his son Issac. We read this today and think "Are you serious God, that Abraham only son and you want him to do Whhhat??" It might seem ridiculous to us but not to God. He knows what he is doing when he is testing us. And that's SO encouraging to know. The pastor said that God never gives us anything we can't handle. he also said something really cool that i wrote down "Know the tester and pass the test!" That's so true! I pass the test that God gives you, you've got know Him and be in His word!

This week has been so fantastic already and its Tuesday! I've so much joy in my life right now its great. God has blessed me a lot and i know that sometime soon I will be tested and hopefully I'll be ready. And its funny it's almost like I'm studying for the big exam coming up. lol! But really... I'm praying and in the word and talking with Him. It's like studying! oooo i just came up with that lil metaphor just now!!!! It's such a God thing! :D

Anyway i really could go on and on about this but I'll end it here. So tonight will be the first I'm i get to sing with the praise at 180! I'm nervous but kinda excited. I'm also a little bit scared. Scared because i don't want to this to be about me or the band. I don't want to be worried if it sounded good. Usually i am. I hate that. I hate it when i worry about little things like that. I shouldn't because I'll be worshiping God and helping other too. so there is nothing really to worry about because God doesn't care if you hit the right notes when your singing to Him. I'm so glad he don't care! :)

So this week has just been soo stressful. Hebrew has been kicking my butt. I'm getting so stressed that i feel sick. I had a fever the other night. This semester in Hebrew is almost too stressful for me. But I've been reminded of the verse that is totally awesome but sometime i take it for granite. Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength I need" This verse has been so encouraging this week. Also many for my great friends have encouraged me this week.


But what was even more encouraging i guess you can say was tonight during the spring break mission trip meeting. Arlington TX is the place God wants me this spring break. I could tell right when we started talking about it. I just got this fire of excitement in me. I felt like i was going to explode with goodness or something. She was talking about what we will be doing throughout the week. We leave in a month and i just feel like thats too long! lol

Well the weekend is soo here! And gorgeous weather too!! I love it. I makes me want to just drive with the windows down and blast my music. Too bad im low on gas and also on money! :(lol it happens. This week has just been cold and gloomy and just plan bad. I had a terrible week. I think this beautiful weather is God saying... hey its going to get better!!! And this makes me soo happy because right now i need this. My classes alone are stressful enough. but God is saying to me that its going to get better. Like the weather. I love weather! :D

Finding out where God wants me to be.

Well this is my first blog in a long time. I dont think i've blog since middle school. And back then i just wrote about stupid stuff that a middle school teenage girl wouild write about. I really want this blog to be more mature and meaningful. Not only to me but to anyone who reads it. Well to start off with my random ramblings something has been bothering me lately...

It's kinda werid but latley i havnt felt like Living Hope is where im supposed to be. It feels like that is not home. (well of course its not home) But lately it doesnt feel likie my home church here in Bowling Green. Last semester i loved being at Living Hope. I loved the people the atmosphere and just everything about it. Dont get me wrong, I still love being at Living Hope and still do love the people, i've made some really great friends since i've been going to Living Hope. I even joined the church. I am now under their watchcare. Fell in love with their choir. But today at church it just felt werid, like I wasnt supposed to be there. I feels to routine for me there.

I talked to one of my dear friend emily today and she had a lovely way of putting this situation. she said that I just need to check out different churches. A change of routine. If i go to other churches I can see where God really wants me. Even if it is Living Hope. I'll see how much i do love living hope. So i've decided to try out First Baptist Church this next sunday. I've heard from some people that its a really good church. It might look big and intimadating butits really not that way. So i'm going to check it out for myself with another one of my dear friends Becky!
And it's been weird because lately everywhere this week i've been hear stuff about First Baptist. Like the church that was at dollar lunch was First Baptist, people that i've talked to this week have been talking about it, and regressive dinner is going to be at First Baptist so i feel that God is says HEY CHECK OUT FIRST BAPTIST! lol So i am! :)

Anyways i just really hope that I find out where God wants me to be. And thats all i wantt ot do with my life is to do Gods will!
