Boys Awakening # 15

Wow! That was one really great weekend, and I am really glad that I was able to help out! It was a lot of fun to see the boys change through out the weekend .... haha and how they learned how to sing and not yell or mumble! It was pretty fun! I can't wait for the next Great Banquet and girls Awakening #16!! It's gonna be a good time! :D

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for you, I always pray with joy because of your parnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

It is right for me to feel this way about you, since I have you in my heart, for whether I am in chains or defending and confiriming the gospel, you share in God's grace with me.

God can testify how I long for you with affection of Christ Jesus.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insite, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ -- to the glory and praise of God.

~ Philippians 1:3-11 ~

A couple good quotes ...

"Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives."


~* Why do you claim me to be religious?...while all along I'm just in love with Jesus...*~

Why am I being tortured with my imperfections?
Where is my life going? Where are my directions?
Why do I feel so alone, confused and lost?
I know there is a price to pay, but for what is the cost?
Will I ever know who I am going to be?
I am trying so hard to do everything that you ask of me.
But have you seen what this world is like today?
It is practically going to hell and that's all I'll say.
In this world, hate and profanity are everywhere I go
They are blocking up the scenery and altering everything I know
We can go to jail if we kill our brother
Yet we are at war with one another?
They say we live in a country of peace, love, and dignity
But death lies, and destruction are all I see.
Love your neighbor as yourself?
Yeah, well that book was long ago put up on the shelf.
The world is going crazy, and no one knows how to help
We are all just trying to play the cards in which we've been dealt
So what is it that I'm supposed to do?
Please help me understand; give me a clue
They are taking You away in anyway they can
They are removing any trace of the Son of Man
Tell me what I can do to bring You back
Help me stand up for what I believe in; help me state a fact.
I cannot do this all alone
So, why don't you help me a little and throw me a bone?
Do you want me to give up this dream I've been pursuing?
Do you want me to go out and preach of your love renewing?
I know there is a meaning behind this crazy life of mine,
But knowing what it is, is something more divine.
I will do anything in this world that you tell me to
But I just need to know what it is you want me to do.
Lord, you know I love you with all of my heart
Please help me out here, so I can do my part.
Help me step out of my comfort zone.
Help me go out into the world unknown.
Help me give this message in which I've been given
And turn those lost souls away from the lives they've been livin'
These words I've been given won't be easy to say,
They're form a past long ago, and much different from today.
But now I know that this is what I must do.
I'll give my talk, but the rest is up to you.

Fat Babies!

As all of my awakening #14 girls will remember, Sammie is FAMOUS for making fat babies. So here are a couple of her fat babies to enjoy! :)

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Okay, so, here I sit, in my office, waaayyy too early in the morning waiting for the minutes to tick on by until another life gets here, or until I have to leave for a school. Why on earth did I leave my house so early this morning!? I totally knew that this would happen. But, none-the-less, I here I sit. If only I would have listened to myself last night while setting the alarm clock, I would have gotten at least 15 more minutes of sleep today .. but no! I had to make sure that I had enough time .... I'd rather be early than late ... well this is very true .. but 15 minutes is 15 minutes! Oh well ... life will go on I suppose! :)

Emily Emily Emily!
