My prayer for the Night!

The Day has finally come! The day that i have been praying for! Harvest 2011! Today I along with several other students will work all day in order to set up. After That we will welcome students from all around the lake area to the designated area in our high school parking lot. My prayer is that GOD will shower down(Not Rain Please)  his love for these students.

In Bible history we have been talking about self worth. How students these days are looking for love, acceptence, and someone to see them as, "All that and a bag of chips". I have a God, A God how see's every single one of them as WAYYYY more then a gressy bag of chips! My prayer is that tonight, Through The Chris Allen Band, and Mark Bailey, They will relize that there is a God who LOVES them FOR WHAT THEY ARE!

Gods Love! What else do we need! God is enough<---Check it!

My study through Exodus - Day 1 - Exodus 1

So the Israelites are having a lot of babies! and their new king doesn't like it. So they try some things to change that. But it doesn't work. So then he tells the Midwives to kill all the baby boys when they are born.
But here's my FAVE part.  Exodus 1:17-18 They had too much respect for God, and they didn't do as they were ordered! They just didn't do it!! Then guess what!! Exodus 1:20-21 God blessed them and gave them families of there owns!!
They respected God and disobeyed there king. Then God blesses them.

Recently God has been teaching me what it means to trust him and go with his plans! Its really hard sometimes when i see that almost everyone else around me has a boy friend or has something else that i don't have. Its hard. But I have to respect Gods plan. Don't get me wrong. I could get any guy! I could easily change everything about me and be a girl that guys would want to date. But i have faith that God has a plan for me and my life.

They don't tell you what happened to the midwives after they disobeyed. I don't think they got off on that easy, with a "ahahah your funny, you didn't do what i told you to, hahahah" No they probably got into some serious trouble BUT God rewarded them for there respect and gave them families of there own.

I have No doubt that I'm in that same boat. Its hard and sometimes i get really upset about the fact that i missing out on the experience of having a boy friend in high school. But you know what God has a plan for me and will reward me for my patients! :)

This is just the first night of my study through Exodus! I can't wait to see what God shows me tomorrow night!!

Is why a good question to ask?

This is a picture of me and my cousin Gracie. Shes four now and yes i love her to death! But, now that she is four her favorite thing to ask it WHY! Why can't I go out side by my self? Why can't i drink out of a big cup? Why can't you play dolly's with me for an hour? After answering this question she then says "But why?" This is a constant pattern that could happen up to 10 times in one visit!

Now I'm 17 years old and lately i have found my self asking the same question. WHY? God why? God why did that just happen? God why is this not happening? God Why can't it just go my way for once? Well taking it back to the 4 year old, the majority of the conversations always end with me saying "Because i said so" So guess what Gods response is to my question why? Jeremiah 18:4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
Jeremiah 18:6-10 ⁶ He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. ⁷ If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, ⁸ and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. ⁹ And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, ¹⁰ and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.
God simply says "Because i said so" He has the power to do what he pleases!

When a four year old asked you this question it just becomes irritating. How do you think God feels when you ask his over and over again WHY? Well this is what i have read. Isaiah 45:9 “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground? Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’? Romans 9:20-21 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”^{[a] 21} Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
Basically i feel like God is asking us the same question. Why? Why do you keep asking why! Don't you know that i love you and Have a perfect plan for your life! Don't you know that i am here to love you and you just have to trust me!!
