Ya know...God is somethin.....Last night I met with Al Rosenblum about some stuff that I needed to talk about..And God is a god of healing,encouragement,love and etc... Last night Al talked to me about "the lies" satan often tries to use on us..For example: "You're not good enough anymore...God can't use you now, you're loose change to him"
That ones has been the one that hit me,personally, the hardest.
It's not that I believed it, but I second guessed..Is is partially true?
We talked about how to fight against those lies..And it's all about faith. Confronting those lies....The basic stuff. Gosh..It really hit me that.................
Although I've screwed up...And some know that I screwed up big time..But that doesn't mean that I am out of the race just yet..I mean I'm still alive...Soo that means that God CAN still use me..Thats been a hard piece of meat to chew on, but I think I got it...Hargis is a great example of God using me..Those kids are absouletly amazing..I've given the Gospel to those kids every week and they've been soo excited to have "values times" (is what devotion time is called) and they soak it all up.. They love to learn about the Lord and I love teaching it..God IS using me...I'm not damaged goods..I just keep praying that God continues to teach me and mold me..I am His........I am a tool...He is good

House
Today, Miss. Chigger talked about the song "Big House" to the kids this morning. And it was really neat to see it explained in detail.
I don't looove the song, but it's fun to sing with the kids.
Come and go with me
To my Fathers House
Come and go with me, to my Fathers House
It's a big big house
with lots and lots of room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football(touchdown!)
It's my Fathers House
Carrie had one of the kids explain what the song meant..
And, in simple terms, said
"It's heaven!"
But also when we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts
we go to our Fathers house..We become apart of the family; the body.
We go and he provides us with food,shelter, fun stuff..
I often forget how much he takes care of me. His love is overflowing and abundant in grace. I can't remember how my life was before Him. I'm always learning about my Father..And I think me being here(in AL) has taught me a whole lot. I know that I am here for a reason and I just pray that even though I get home sick, that He may be glorified. I continue to pray for strength and guidence. I need Him more than ever and I need to constantly be hungry for Him..

Children
Recently, I moved to Trussville, Alabama, to work at a day camp for kids. It's a Christian-Judeo centered camp..Anyhow. I've worked now for One week and two days, It's been crazy and fun and exhausting...All of that put aside..It's the children that are amazing. I wrote a long journal about this last night and it's still on my mind, so bear with me.
I watch these kids, and they play and laugh, run, scream, cry, they are full of joy! Just from observation, children have this..natural drive..When I'm dragging at around 9am..They are just getting started, it's like, forget about having to get up at 6am, LETS GO!..They also hold a sacred piece of innocence.
That is what has been on my mind.
It's amazing as children how we see the world. I remember thinking my daddy was perfect! and my mom was a supermodel.. My grandma could do no wrong in the world and nothing went wrong in the world..Except when I didn't get my way. But when reality sets in, and we as children now have to think like adults is when we lose some sort of...."thing"...We realize daddy isn't perfect,mommy is mommy, grandma uses internet dating..Ya know it all comes out and it's not what you expected..As a child that is..
But isn't that life..It's not what we expect but God already expects and knows..
Back the children...
The kids at Hargis..They are soo great..My brothers and sister, they are even better..
I don't know where I was going with this...Alot of this is me recapping my childhood..and its me Jumbling it up in my head.. I just miss that innocence. But everything happens for a reason in Gods plan..Jumbling again..
