I LOVE IT

Today was such a fantastic day! and i spent most of it with my best friend Katelyn!! She came and got me and we headed to the beach!! It was SO beautiful! (even if it was a little chilly) we lay there for a bit and just listened to people, and had little laughs here and there *shrug* after about an hour of that, we decided that swimming wasn't the best because of the wind..(and all i brought was a blanket and pillow...not a towel) so...we got up and decided to grab some pizza, popcorn and a movie! We did so and went to her grandmothers and watched tim burton's 9! It was pretty cute..you could definitely tell a tim burton film! After the movie, i had the bright idea of going to the grave yard and chilling there, and reading some grave stones...so of course WE DID
<3
so yeah...this is katelyn and the "Hand" grave..we couldn't help ourselves..ya maybe we are jerks but W/E they are dead and they love us doing this..because you know what when im dead..TAKE ALL THE PICS OF MY GRAVE YOU WANNA BABY cause im not going to be here...<3>
Yeah...so this is me by some cool cross one...yah...after that we went to another grave yard that's actually..like 4 min from my house...and it's HUGE..i never realized how big it was b4...and we went to the very back to start..and there was like...a machine to dig new graves..i wanted a picture near it but Katelyn said no way :) LOL
it was so fun and i am so thankful for my friend...lol .....
After that we came back to my house and just chilled, listened to music and played a cemetery game on her computer for like 40 min. after that she decided to go..and that's been my day :)
Tomorrow is church and i am so looking foward to it!

He is so faithful

TODAY
was a great day! I Went to the island..and got to see my friends! Oh how exciting to see how God is working in the lives of my friends on the island, and in these teen girls lives!! HOW THEY CHANGE.. It was really really cool! got to sit under the teaching of wise men of God..so good just to hear the lessons again. i've heard some of them before but oh what God teaches you when you are really listening and want to learn from his word..it was so key to me today...
:::that all I can do is abide...that's all I have strength to do..and even that strength is from him::: praise the Lord that he has such power and strength..to give us power and strength <3.....
Going home tomorrow...I don't want to. id love to stay in North Hudson forever, or hey maybe at the island with my friends for the last 2 weeks..but that isn't what God has for me..and I am excited to see what the rest of the summer brings. and the good God has in it for me :)...for I KNOW he is faithful..even when im not :)
<3

crazyness

I miss those people more then life ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <3
wow..God has been teaching me so much *shakes head*i love it so much but at the time it seems so painful..but isnt that learning ;) ...lol
I am so excited to see God and his good through all of this..it still hurts a lot ..but i am so thankful for people like the bennetts..that show me the good, and who hang out with me and just get my mind off the hard things..lol
Hes been showing me so much just lately about what he does for us and what he can do through us if we give him our whole lives..if we dont just give him bits and pieces..like oh yeah Lord you can have my ...time but not my love life, or Lord those friends..they are....well I know they arent the best Lord but.. *shakes head*
Im learning SO much about his sovereignty and his love...

Communion what is it/isn't it

W-O-W God is so good!! Church was excellent! Let me just tell you!! we talked about what Communion is/isn't! And it was awesome so im going to share it w/ you ;)
WHAT COMMUNION ISN'T::::
*It doesn't save you-acts 16:31;Ephesians 2:8-9;Romans 10:9-10
*It doesnt make you a better Christian- col 2:10
*Isnt showing you are in good fellowship with God -matthew 22:37-40;Galatians 5:22-23
*Doesnt in itself restore fellowship with God -1 corinthians 11:1;1 john 1:9,Revelation 2:5 (REPENT)
*Will not have communion during the millenium. it will happen until he returns.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
WHAT COMMUNION IS:::::
*it is for believers 1 corinthians 11;1 corinthians 1; Hebrews 12
*A matter of obedience-1 corinthians 11:24
*Intended to be a showing of your relationship with God vs 29 of 1corinthians 11.
vs 29-examine yourself...examine=inspect closely=
*communion is to remember what Christ did..his death. it is in essence a memorial service.
(John 3:16,Romans 5:8, 1John 5, Acts 4:2;John 10:17-18,Philippians 2:7-8)

It is so easy for us sometimes to forget exactly what God had to deal with when we live our daily lives. Communion really is for us to stop and think about exactly what he went through and how we need to remember that.
(HE DID IT FOR ME) REMEMBER THAT
