I fell in love...

hmm. : )
a sigh of happiness..

I'm in love.

deep, passionate, burning

love.

I am in a place right now where;
nothing could shake me.

Nothing can bring me down 

right Now.

I have experienced Jesus'

love so intimately this week

and nothing can take that 

from Me.

My heart has a burning passion

to tell everyone and anyone about

Jesus.

                                                                                                                

As you might know.. 

I have decided that Facebook and I are on a break

It's not you; it's.... wait.

It is you.

Sorry.. I can't blame it all on Facebook

But it makes me do things I don't want to.

All too often I scroll my news feed deciding who

is important enough and funny enough to receive a

"like" .

 As if to play god for a moment and tell you if you 

are worthy of my interest.. 

Other times I'll go knee deep into your 

profile pictures

or..worse,

your tagged pictures. 

I judge you.

yes.

I said it.

I judge you.

And this is why Facebook and I are on a break

not broken up.. just... 

seeing other people

Honest. 

I've begun to tell real life people

about my day, my joys, my struggles,

and the things that make me laugh.... 

For instance.. I was at McDonalds for lunch

on Tuesday... 

Waiting for my food this short and stalky guy 

with a white skullet 

pulled back into a low pony tail

leans over to me and says;

"You kid's got the day off school?

Or is it just lunch time?"

To which I replied...

Pardon?

I don't know why this surprised me so much

cause I've been told numerous times I look 16

He replied with the same question.. 

I then said. 

Uh.. Not sure... I go to College

He says;

"Oh my word...

uh.. 

sorry...

I thought you were 13 or 14.."

Why are you talking to a 13 or 14 year old?

kinda odd, if i say so myself...

But the cool thing about this weird conversation..

I got to tell him about Vanguard, 

and about how i'm going to be a youth worker/pastor

It was cool!

Anywho... back to that other stuff I was talking about. 

Telling real people about my life 

has opened up opportunity to be

in community

crazy.

But I've never felt so happy.

I've got Joy.

I am also medicated for 

Depression and Anxiety

yah. scary words.

Depression Depression Depression. 

Anxiety Anxiety Anxiety.

There. I said it.

It's only because of Jesus that I have joy

For the past two years, it's been Jesus

Even when life gets hard and I'm not happy

Jesus give me Joy

And this week I have had so much

opportunity to walk in the Spirit

I've been able to be where I am

Wherever I am ... I AM ALL THERE

because I don't have to be on Social media

Three times this week I have been asked

by the Holy Spirit to ask someone if 

they want/need prayer. and it has been 

significant.

Doors open for us when we obey.

Mike Love came to my practicum class to

share his testimony of Extreme Dream.

He said this:

"There is a generation waiting on the other

side of your obedience"

Holy Moses. That got me good. 

How can we be obedient if we are so busy?

If we are drowning out God's voice with

Reality TV

Social Media

Games

Music

these things aren't bad Don't get me wrong. 

But we don't always use them for GOOD.

So let's open ourselves up to what God

has in store for us. 

We could be JUST what someone needs

 in times of trouble. 

I wish I could sit down with everyone 

and just tell them about Jesus and how He is

changing

my life right now. 

There are at least 5 things this week that have 

fanned into flame the passion I have

to tell everyone I meet about Jesus.

 

This is to all my Vanguard people... 

I know November is cray

and you have assignments.  but

CHAPEL IS MORE IMPORTANT

(this year.. even the Student Council 

Chapel's are good.. they won't waste your 

time)

you'll never get the opportunity

to be in community like this again

and you'll regret it later if you don't

take advantage now.

.God. is in Chapel.

that should be the reason you go. 

I know you don't consider it a class. 

but 1. It should be. 

2. IT'S GOD'S TIME

so honour HIM, and He'll honour you. 

EVERY CLASS we take,

and EVERY CHAPEL we attend

God is there.

Jesus is there. 

Holy Spirit is there. 

we can learn from every time-block

we are at school. so

Grow up

and go to Chapel. 

Be enriched.

If you didn't go to 

Spiritual Enrichment Days

I feel sorry for you. 

It was enriching and you missed out

because you don't think GOD time

is as important as class time

so you ditched because it's

"just chapel and it isn't worth it"

Get to know others in the school

pray for people.

lay hands.

ask for healing

love one another

because

Christ loves us.
