Had a great feeling for today! Devo time!, work, meeting with the owners, some real estate, and then Excel (young adults/College group)


Devo time- Being a Christian is not about doing good but being more like Christ, loving all. Matt 5:43-48
this is a critical way to live, because naturally we want to hate or have bitterness towards our enemies when the Word actually tells us to "LOVE your enemies and PRAY for those that persecute you." v.44 


Our strengths are to be used for service, to help those around us. We are taught by examples of what Christ did. Rom. 15:1-15. 

this is how we should live, to serve others, God has given us STRENGTHS not for our own but to serve and help others in their weakness! I think the key thing here is "everything was written in the past was written to teach us , so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." v.4

Trust God, believe in Him, have "walking on water " like faith. We forget that peter ACTUALLY walked on water, matt 14:25-31

this is an awesome illustration about how we should keep our focus on Jesus and keep strong FAITH in HIM not on anybody or anything else in our lives, because when we are focused on HIM and only HIM there is a boldness, a confidence that miracles come from! 

Work- it went real well today! had a busy day today. its always busy on mondays for me, running reports, going to the bank, having schedules ready, preparing paper work for the meeting with the owners and today we had a huge shipment come in! So it was fun! The meeting with the owners went real well! it is always a pleasure to talk to those guys. I have learned a lot from them, its mos definitely interesting to work directly with the owners. You get to learn about how things work and how the operations parts really works. Looking over numbers and i feel like i have actually applied what i have learned in college LOL!!! i never thought i would say that but its pretty need to actually apply something i have learned!


Excel (young adults/College group)-  It was absolutely awesome tonight! i had the opportunity to speak and share my life with the group! it was awesome! I really felt God's presence in the building! God is awesome! we finished out with worship and really going for it! what a great group! what a great environment ! what an awesome experience! Thank you Jesus!


After Excel- it was Bailey's birthday so some of the guys decided to go to Chipotle to eat.  I fell in love with the burrito bowl! it was awesome! great conversations and great company! Happy Birthday Bailey!!!!


Got to get ready for the next day! Speaking again on Wednesday! Pray for Pastor Jason and I, pray that God will use us to impact the students that we're speaking to in a positive way, pray for change and direction in these students lives.


If you need prayer let me know! i got you!!!
"Miracles are happening, miracles are going to happen, just pray and believe! Get INSPIRED!!"


disclaimer- i am typing how i would speak it lol so please dont be mad at me for not capitalizing certain things or words or having this looking perfect. this is a blog from an imperfect person that loves JESUS! :) forgive me!
