<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Dangerous words. Lyrics
by Hillsong United. The most popular worship song of 2015 is a very meaningful
cry to out God. It's about wanting to be in a place where you literally have no
other choice but to trust him. It's about asking the Holy Spirit to lead you to
a place much farther than your feet would ever set foot by your own choice.
Every christian around the nation has been singing these words endlessly. But I
have an honest question for you, brothers and sisters...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Do you really mean
that? Do you really, truly want that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">I know that I didn't. Being
outside of my comfort zone is one of the toughest things for me. I am extremely
afraid of change, and I like very much to have a routine and act within those
limits. I cannot count the number of times that I lifted my hands to the Lord
as I sang these famous words. "Spirit, lead me where my trust is without
borders. Let me walk upon the waters, wherever you would call me." But I
never expected the pain, suffering, and fear that came along with the Lord
fulfilling this request. If you are going to be in a position where you are
trusting the Lord without any borders, you are almost always going to be in a
place where you have no other choice. You see, as sinners, our hearts are not
always 100% committed to where the Lord wants us at the moment- what we say,
what we do, what we think. We aren't puppets. The Lord allows us to make our
own choices, and even as a committed believer, we still mess up. So even though
I continuously asked the Lord to "take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander," I wasn't really ready to do that. But I asked, and he answered.
When Dad has his accident back in December, I remember feeling completely
helpless. No matter how much I wanted to, I could not do anything about the
fact that he was paralyzed. The doctors were constantly telling us all of the
things he wouldn't be able to do again, and there was nothing we could do about
it. I had no choice in the matter, no way to fix anything, no path to make life
normal again, and absolutely no borders on trusting in the Lord. The Lord had
led me there. I asked him to take me into the great unknown, farther than I
would ever dare to go myself. Y'all, I would have never in my lifetime asked
for this much uncertainty. I have struggled for a long time with fear- in so
many different ways. The last thing I wanted was to endure the greatest fear I
have ever felt. But I had no other choice. Trusting wholly and completely in
the Lord was the only option I had. There was no way that my sinful heart could
twist this to give me even a little bit of worldly comfort. Knowing that my
Savior is in control now and forever, and that this earth is just the slightest
glimpse of eternity, that is where my hope lies. It’s being so uncomfortable with
where you are (physically or emotionally) that you finally surrender to the
fact that Jesus Christ is the one and only thing that can bring your heart
peace. He is the only One that can save you from drowning. None but Jesus. And
I never wish that kind of pain and unrest on anyone, but at the same time, I
also kind of do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">“But he said to me, ‘My
grace is sufficient for you, for my <b>power</b>
is made perfect in <i>weakness</i>.’ Therefore
I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power
may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in
insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. <b><i>For when I am weak, then I am
strong</i></b>.” -2 Corinthians 12:9-10<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">So I challenge you to
think about this song of prayer that you’re singing. Are you ready for what
this means? Do you honestly want the Lord to take you to this place? If you do-
and I pray your heart gets there- be ready for a wild ride. A painful,
difficult, fulfilling, rewarding, wild ride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

The past few weeks have been incredibly tough to say the
least. For those of you that haven’t heard Dad’s story, you can read about it
here [<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/76gaz6ms">The Young's Journey Home</a>].
I have sometimes felt like I could repeat Dad's story over and over like a
broken record. Other days I would rather just lock the door, talk to no one,
and cry. I feel like my brain is programmed to reply, “He’s ok,” whenever
someone asks how he’s doing now. It seems that I cannot make it through a
single prayer or song of worship without tears flowing down my face. It just doesn't
make sense that life must go on right now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We did not go to church on Sunday because I was too worried
I would not be able to hold it together. However, we did
watch the service online. Our pastor held a special time of confession and
prayer. He led everyone to write down requests and lay them at the altar to be
prayed for by other members of our church family. Then he asked those that are
struggling, those that are hurting, those that are dealing with sickness or
loss to stand so that our church could specifically pray over them. And I
realized, there are so many others in pain right now as well. This life is
hard. The past few weeks have constantly been up and down. I have felt the
excitement of one step forward followed directly by the kick in the gut of two
steps back. The Lord continuously tells us in his word that it will not be
easy. But until you truly face something that breaks your heart, you never have
a chance to fully understand that. I have felt selfish for being so upset. I
have found myself angry that I cannot seem to be encouragement for others right
now. My brokenness has made others see the worst parts of me. I have felt like
my tank is empty, and I'm running on the fumes of emotion. I sometimes feel
like my joy is gone. And then- God speaks. <b><i>Let go, and let Me hold you</i></b>. My many
car rides lately have contained these Amy Grant lyrics in addition to some
sobbing and praise...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"We pour out our miseries, God just hears a melody.
Beautiful, the mess we are. Honest cries from breaking hearts are better than
hallelujah."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being broken doesn't make you weak. Let me say that again
for my own sake, <b><i>being broken does not make you weak</i></b>. Tears can be a reflection
of strength. Crying out to God in the middle of your misery makes you a <u>WARRIOR</u>!
Honest cries from breaking hearts are <b><i>better</i> </b>than hallelujah to Him! How
wonderful is that news in the midst of sorrow! “Every tear I cry, You hold in Your
hands. You’ve never left my side. Though my heart is torn, I will praise You in
this storm.” God just wants us to be completely honest with Him. After all, we
can’t fool him anyway. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
He wants us to fear the future. He wants us to doubt God’s plans. BUT God came
so that we may have life to the full! We are allowed to be sad- Jesus wept. He
understands the hurt and sorrow, and He desires for us to cling to Him in those
moments. The Lord is <i>near</i> to the
brokenhearted- we are never alone! Therefore, the Lord says that we are <u>not</u>
allowed to worry. We must trust in Him. “I sought the Lord, and he answered me.
He delivered me from all my fears.” –Psalm 34:4. It is wholly trusting in God
when you have nothing else to hope in. When you literally have no other choice
but to fall on your knees with open hands- that is when you realize that He is
a <b>GOOD</b> Father, always. I have
realized that I have to make a conscious decision every single day to choose
joy! “The <b>joy</b> of the Lord is our
strength.” -Nehemiah 8:10. Our God will never change- no matter the
circumstances life has you in. The truths I am holding tightly in my grip right
now are that <i>God is who He says He is</i>,
and <i>God can do what He says He can do</i>.
My God works miracles, and my God’s promises are true<b>. I AM BELIEVING GOD!!<o:p></o:p></b></div>

As I sit here now to
write these words, the tears are already flowing. I cannot believe that my
first year is over. It seems like just yesterday I was sweating bullets during
open house while meeting parents. This has been one of the craziest, most
difficult, yet most rewarding years of my life. Teachers are NOT lying when
they tell you this is tough stuff! I have learned so much over the course of
the year, and my time was filled with memories, lessons, tears, and laughter
that I will take with me as I continue in this journey of teaching. I’m sure there are plenty of letters and
lessons that teachers could write as advice for those diving into this job, but
I just wanted to share a few things I gathered along the way that I feel have
been my most important lessons learned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Ask for help</u></b>- you will need it all the time! Don’t be too
prideful to say that you don’t know how to do something. I found a few people
who were always willing to answer my silly questions (and also learned those
that were not). It was so nice to have people that were eager to sit down with
me to help me learn to tackle something new because there was so much I did not
know. Trust me, you are never out of questions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Stand firm.</u></b> Just because it is your first year teaching
doesn’t mean you don’t know what you are doing. You went to school for this and
probably learned a heck of a lot. You will not always be wrong, and others will
come to you for help sometimes as well. If you come across people who try to
make you feel inferior because you are new, stand firm. I was not good at this.
I did not stand up for myself, I couldn’t tell someone else when I thought they
were wrong, and I didn’t know how to tell someone no. I really don’t like
conflict, so this was so hard for me. But I would get angry or upset often
because I felt like I was letting someone else control what I was doing in my
classroom. When honestly, I knew my plans could be even better. As Meghan
Trainor would say, “I might be young, but I ain’t stupid.” <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> I knew what I was
doing. It got better as the year went on, but trust me, I am still working on
this one. No, you don’t always have to be right (there is a lot that I wasn’t
right on through the year), but you also don’t always have to be wrong. If it’s
your decision, you be the one to make it. Trust yourself, be confident, and do
what you want to in YOUR classroom. After all, you are the teacher now!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“No one can make you
feel inferior without your consent.” –Eleanor Roosevelt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Write your lesson plans in pencil.</u></b> I learned this lesson
about two weeks into the school year. Once I had scratched out so much that I
had no more room to write the lesson plans that were actually going to take
place, I decided it was best to stick with something that erases. There will
always be extra things that come up unplanned, units that take longer than
expected, students who miss something they needed, etc. Be ready and willing to
switch it up and cope with the changes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Don’t freak out.</u></b> The stress is real, and there will be days
when you feel like you’ll never be able to get it all done. Sometimes those
“days” of stress turned into weeks for me, and it would literally make me sick.
You will get frustrated, you will yell, and you will cry. It’s inevitable. But
I had to learn to take a deep breathe in those times, prioritize, and rest
assured that everything will work out. Time management was a big obstacle for
me. The truth is that God WILL give us more than we can handle- that way we
have no choice but to trust Him and rely on Him to get us through all things.
It is a reminder of our need for Him daily.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“In my distress I
called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my
voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” –Psalm 18:6<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“I sought the LORD, and
he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.” –Psalm 34:4<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Don’t let criticizing parents tear you down.</u></b> They won’t all
like you or agree with you. I can’t even count the number of days I went home
and cried (or couldn’t hold back the tears while I was still at school) because
of a parent who thought that I was doing something wrong. I have now been yelled
and cursed at- some parents can be really mean. But if you are working hard at
your job and serving your students right, don’t doubt yourself. As Taylor Swift
would advise you, “Shake it off! Shake it off!” <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
Keep your head up, and your dedication to their child will shine through.<o:p></o:p></div>

“Have I not commanded
you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the
Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” –Joshua 1:9<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Pray for patience every morning.</u></b> It won’t be easy. There
were some days when my kids would drive me absolutely insane. There were days
when I found myself mid-day thinking “holy cow, I need to chill,” because I had
been frustrated and snappy with my kids. I literally began to pray for patience every
morning on my drive to school. “Better a patient person than a warrior…”
–Proverbs 16:32. Patience is key. I put a note on my desk about halfway through
the year as a reminder to ‘choose joy’ every day. It’s a struggle, but
joyfulness leads to a delightful classroom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“Therefore, as God’s
chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” – Colossians 3:12<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>Remember that loving on your students is the most important part of
your job.</u></b> Everything else can wait. Sometimes I would get so wrapped up
in emails and paperwork that I would completely ignore the “Miss Puwbiss” being
called out five times from across the room or the story I was being told about
something exciting from their weekend. Building relationships and a bond of
trust with your kids is the best thing you can do for your classroom. Hearing
“I luh you, Miss Puwbiss” over and over is the most fulfilling thing I can hear
as a teacher. That is what’s important.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b><u>What you do matters.</u></b> You will look back at the end of the
year and truly realize all of the progress your kids have made. It’s hard to
see those things in the midst of the chaos of every day, but the work is worth
it. We call our students our kids because they become just that in our
hearts. When you are spending your time
with them day in and day out, you form a bond and a love that is so special.
When we accept Christ as our Savior, we are called to a life of greater purpose
for His glory. “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love,
O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands…” –Psalm 138:8. Your
work is a form of worship to our God, so remind yourself of that daily. Glorify
the Lord with the profession He has called you to, and He will bless you
through it.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
It won’t be easy, but
it will all be worth it. Good luck, first-year teachers! And have fun!<o:p></o:p><br />

Recently, my mind has been all over the place. I’ve had so
much going on- changes, transitions, new school year, new activities, new time
schedule, and then a broken into house. And I will honestly tell you that
although some of these things came with excitement, ALL of them came with a bit
of worry. My attitude from the past couple weeks has been one of increasing
fear…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This class is going to be impossible to make an A in.” “How
am I going to have time to do all of this school work and still do other
things?” “What about after graduation?” “Am I going to find a job?” “Where are
Loren and I going to live?” “What about all the wedding details?” “Are people
going to try and break into our house again?” “Did they see something else they
want to come back for?” “Were they watching us when we left the house?” “What
about all of the schoolwork I had on my old computer?” “What if we’re in the
house when someone tries to come in?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And then thankfully, the Lord took over. I was constantly
reminded that “the Lord, our God, is ever faithful.” This period of waiting to
see what the Lord has planned for the future is a time when I can draw even
closer to Him. After all, that is what He desires. “Find rest, O my soul, in God
alone; my hope comes from him.” –Psalm 62:5. I need not worry about whether or
not Loren and I will find a place to land because I trust in the Lord, and HE
HAS A PLAN. I don’t need to stress over the details of schoolwork, graduation,
and the wedding because I trust in the Lord, and HE HAS A PLAN. I should not be
living in constant fear over another house break-in because I trust in the
Lord, and HE HAS A PLAN. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare
your way.” –Mark 1:2</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His plans for my life are so much better than anything I
could come up with on my own, and I have seen evidence of that in so much of my
life already! All worry, doubt, and fear can be pushed away because “the God of
angel armies is always by my side!” How awesome is that?! How blessed am I?! And
how blessed are you too if you can also rest in that assurance?!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here in this time of waiting for whatever the Lord is
going to do next, I can prepare myself. I am preparing for Him to tell me to
move. Not move as in pack up and head to another country, but move as in taking
a step of faith to the next thing He wants me to do. I am preparing for
everything to come in my senior year at UGA, tough classes, interactions with my
students, continued growing friendships, new friendships, campus ministries. I
am preparing for a career, wherever it might be, that the Lord will be able to
use me in bringing people closer to Him. I am preparing for marriage, trying to
further understand what it looks like to be wife that fully supports and
encourages her husband as they seek after the Lord together. So here’s some
food for thought as this question was a big one for me… what are you preparing
for? What are you spending time worrying about that you can be spending time in
preparation for instead?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ll close in this- the Lord is unchanging. The promise is
made in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever.” This is something I have to remind myself of constantly. I think my
fear and worry of things derives from the fact that I lose sight of this truth.
It is me that is changing and trying to plan out the things to come so
precisely. The Lord is unchanging. He had a plan for my life yesterday, He has
the same one today, and He will hold true to that great plan forever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Lord, help me to
always remember that you are ever-faithful and never-changing. You will not
delay. You are my ever-present help in times of trouble. You are my refuge and
strength always.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I
send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
–Isaiah 6:8.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast">
My heart beats the same
as Isaiah’s here. My constant prayer is for the Lord to send me out to make His
name known. He has been so faithful to do so, and I am incredibly blessed to have
the opportunity to go on mission again this summer. The time is finally here!
Our team leaves in the morning to head to Costa Rica for a week. We’re asking
you to please join us in prayer as we embark on this journey. We know that
nothing is possible without Christ, and we need your prayer support! Here are
some things that you could pray for on the trip overall:</div>

Everyone wants to hear the story, and we really want to be
able to share it with everyone! So here goes our two versions put together with
tons of actual proposal pictures to see the story progress!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Monday at work, I was told that I had a meeting to go to
at 4:00 the next day. I was pretty upset because Loren and I had plans to go to
the Braves game with my sister and her husband. But I tried to work around the
scheduling with Loren to make sure it would all work out. Little to my knowledge,
Loren had actually talked my boss, Steve, into making up that “meeting” so that
I would be ready to go when he showed up on Tuesday afternoon. About 3:30 on
Tuesday, Loren walked into work with Steve. I was obviously very shocked and
pretty confused as to why he was there. Steve said that Loren just wanted to
steal me for a couple minutes but I need to be right back for our meeting. All that
Loren said to me was, “Let’s go. Come on.” So we got in the car, and eventually
he told me we were going to the park. When we got there, I started to complain
about how I couldn’t walk around the park in heels. He said, “I got it covered,”
as he pulled a pair of my flip-flops from a bag he had packed. How thoughtful! We
started walking down the trail, and I asked him what he had in the bag. I didn’t
believe him when he said it was towels… but he wasn’t lying! We walked to the
first bench where he sat me down and pulled out two small towels and a bottle
of water. He then explained to me that he was going to wash my feet. As he was
washing my feet, he told me how much he loves me and how much he wants to serve
me forever. Of course, the crying started. When he finished, he handed me a
letter, turned me to face the water, and asked me to read it out loud. I read
it aloud through the last two words which said, “Turn around.” When I turned
around he was on one knee with the ring and asked, “Will you be my wife?” At
this point in our story, Loren says that I just started crying without
answering, and he didn’t know if that was a yes or no. So just to clarify he
asked, “That means yes, right?” I said, “Yes! Of course!” Then he put the
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ring on my finger and kissed me! As we stood there
hugging, he asked if I would sing with him (something we love to do together).
When he let go, he magically was holding his guitar! Loren had set it up
earlier with my friend, Hunter, for him to walk by at just the perfect time to
hand it to him. So we sat down and worshiped together for the first time as
engaged-to-be-married. We sang (I tried through the tears) <i>Revelation Song</i> and <i>Lead Me
to the Cross</i>. After this he told me to turn around and wave to my sister
whom he had set up earlier to take pictures the whole time. She came out and
continued taking pictures as I walked to hug her. I couldn’t stop crying. Everything
was so perfect. Then Hunter came back to talk with us as well. I just kept
looking at my handsome fiancé in disbelief with tears streaming down my face. Once
I got a hold of myself, I started to make tons of phone calls. Loren told me
that he has arranged for his family to come in town so they could celebrate
with us and my family. I was so excited to see everyone! We made many many more
phone calls and got home to hug our families and all spend time together. Everything
was so wonderful, and I could not have asked for anything better! We are blessed
beyond belief by everyone’s support, and we could not be more excited for our
future together!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
God is so good! He has given me the man of my dreams, and in
our relationship we have found that the Lord has done “immeasurably more than
all we could ask or imagine.” To Him be the glory!</div>

again, it’s been a while since I’ve written. I had a crazy busy summer with an
even busier transition back to school this year. But I have been so incredibly
blessed! As most of you know, this summer I had the opportunity to intern with
our high school ministries back at my home church, Hebron. I could not have
imagined a better way to spend my summer! It was truly the best summer that I
have ever had. I don’t have the time to type (nor would any of you want to
read) all of the wonderful stories I have to share from our high school
ministries and my trip to the Dominican Republic. But I would love to
personally tell you all about it, so come ask me if you want to hear more! I
cannot even begin to explain how blessed I feel to have been surrounded by some
truly amazing people! Thank you so much to everyone who made my summer
absolutely incredible! If I tried to list everyone who impacted my life this
summer, I wouldn't even be able to list them all! Thank you to the unbelievable
high school ministries dream team! Thank you to the staff of Hebron Baptist
Church! Thank you to all of our volunteer leaders at camp! Thank you to all of
my amazing students! Thank you to my Dominican Republic mission team! And most
of all, thank you to my precious Savior who continues to bless my life so much
more than I will ever deserve!</span><br />

it was back to Athens for the school year! I’ll have to admit, as much as I love
my school, I didn’t really want to go back after the summer I had. I wanted to
stay at my church and continue the work that I felt I had only just begun! But the
Lord quickly reminded me that my missionfield is wherever He places me. As my
beautiful friend, Jenna always says, “Home is where your feet are.” I am blessed to have my feet placed in Athens.
God has been faithful in showing me what He wants me to be involved in and
where He wants me to invest my time. And I have had a wonderful semester thus
far! Of course, my Georgia Bulldogs are doing AMAZING! I’ve loved every minute
that I’ve gotten to spend with BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministries) and Team
United (FCA). And I just turned 21 years young. An unbelievably blessed 21
years it has been! Thank you to everyone who made my birthday great!</span></div>

One thing that the Lord
was teaching me at the beginning of the summer is that He alone is enough.
There is nothing more important and nothing more worthy of our devotion. I wrote
about this more in my blog back in May. I encourage you to go back and read
that one if you haven’t yet. But in continuation of learning this lesson, the
Lord taught me a lot about redemption.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Redeem: (verb) to free
from captivity by payment of ransom</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
That’s exactly what the
Lord did for me and for you. Without Christ, we are slaves to our sin, stuck in
a life of captivity. But when we realize that we need Jesus and ask God to
forgive us, we are freed from that captivity. Instantly. No hesitation from the
Lord. Jesus Christ paid our ransom when He died on the cross for our sins. So it
really is that simple. Have faith, reach out to the Lord, and you will be
redeemed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
In Mark 5:25-34 and Matthew
9:20-22 we hear the story of Jesus healing the woman who had been bleeding for
ten years. She was shunned and dying, but she heard that Jesus was coming and
had faith that just touching Him would redeem her and heal her body from
suffering. When she does touch Him, it says, “Immediately her bleeding stopped
and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.” (Mark 5:29). And
when Jesus finds her in the crowd He tells her:</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“Daughter, your faith
has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” –Mark 5:34</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
“Take heart, daughter… your
faith has healed you.” –Matthew 9:22</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
It’s that simple for
each of us: faith. Simply having faith in the power of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Faith
heals, faith forgives, faith redeems, faith changes lives.</div>

Our value doesn’t come
from earthly accomplishments or possessions like sports, honors, or money. (“For
physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding
promise for both the present life and the life to come.” -1 Timothy 4:8) We are
valuable simply because we exist by God’s creation. Not because of what we’ve
accomplished in the past or because of what we will do in the future. We hold
value because we were created by God’s hand, and He knows each one of us
intimately. Rest assured in that.</div>

It's that time again! I am blessed beyond belief to be going to the Dominican Republic again this year! We meet at the church at 3am (which is in 4 hours- maybe I should sleep?)! I cannot wait to see all that God has planned for this trip! I know that He is going to do some BIG things! Here is the link to the video I created in case you want to watch it and see a little bit of what we do down in the DR!<br />

"HERE AM I. SEND ME!" -Isaiah 6:8Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521035157315521181.post-64061239598302008722012-05-14T16:56:00.000-04:002012-05-14T17:21:54.412-04:00None but Jesus.“All of You is more than enough for all of me. For every thirst and every need, You satisfy me with Your love, and all I have in You is more than enough.” <br />
<br />
Over the past few months, God has been teaching me a lot about where I have been investing my love and my time. Sometimes, it takes God removing things we think we “love” from our life in order for Him to place our focus back on what is most important. The past few months have been really rough for me because time after time, the Lord has been taking things away from my life that I thought were significant. I could not understand why I had to hurt the way I was or why the Lord would take away these things that I truly loved. My world seemed to be crumbling around me, but the Lord was there to pick up the pieces. And through His word, through prayer, through pain, and through praise, He showed me that there is nothing more important and nothing more worthy of my love than Christ alone. He has truly revealed to me how sovereign He is; He has plans for me that are far better than anything I could even imagine for myself. So instead of asking God why He was taking things away from me, I started praising Him for all of the new things He was revealing to me. He was giving me so many new opportunities and blessing me in so many ways that I had never been open to before. I hadn’t had the time or the open heart to see what else the Lord had planned. And He had to take things out of my life that had been distracting from the path that He was trying to place me on. <br />
<br />
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.” –Psalm 63:1-4 <br />
<br />
I was fearful to let go of these things that I was so used to and so in love with. They had become so important to me that they were overshadowing what God wanted for my life. I was trying to take matters into my own hands instead of listening to the Lord’s plan. I was scared that life without them would not “work”. But the Lord has shown me that life has room to grow so much greater when all importance is placed on Him. Choosing to love Him the best that I possibly can is all He is asking of me. And through opening up my heart to this call, He has answered my prayers. He has overcome my pain, and He has conquered my fears. <br />
<br />
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.” –Psalm 34:4 <br />
<br />
Jesus is better than anything else that we could ever choose to invest in. He is worth giving up things of the world that we love because He is SO MUCH BETTER. We should be fully committed to the Lord at all times. It’s not a halfway, sometimes, maybe thing- we must be willing to give up whatever is in the way of loving God with our whole heart. So in those times when we do fall down and lose sight of this truth, God picks us back up, and by His grace, puts us on our feet to walk in His way again. We have to trust Him with our life. We have to trust that His plan is better than our own. He wants to be able to use our lives for His glory, but we must be willing to give our lives completely to Him- no matter what else that means giving up. Our most important role in life is to glorify and honor God. Colossians 3:23 tells is that whatever we do, we must do it for the Lord. <br />
<br />
“There is no one else for me, none but Jesus. Crucified to set me free, now I live to bring Him praise.” <br />
<br />
The last thing I want to share is how the Lord is blessing me already this summer. I have been given the opportunity to be the high school ministries intern at my church, and I could not be more excited! I know that God has amazing plans. I cannot wait to see how He works through me with the students and how He works in me through this ministry. This is the perfect place to spend my summer, and I’m eager to see His plans unfold. Also, I am going back to the Dominican Republic in July. This will be my third trip, and I can’t even begin to explain how much the Lord has taught me and used me during these times. I could write all day about His goodness and how wonderful the DR has been to me, but I will let this video speak for itself... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Rsyh_wHnw&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">The DR Project</a><br />

Luke 1:26-38 tells the story of when the angel appears to Mary telling her that God is giving her a son despite the fact that she is still a virgin.</span></span><br />
<span style="float: none;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst"><span style="float: none;"> <b><sup><span style="background: white;">26</span></sup></b> In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, <b><sup><span style="background: white;">27</span></sup></b> to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. <b><sup><span style="background: white;">28</span></sup></b> The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”</span> <b><sup>29</sup></b> Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. <b><sup>30</sup></b> But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. <b><sup>31</sup></b> You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. <b><sup>32</sup></b> He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, <b><sup>33</sup></b> and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” <b><sup>34</sup></b> “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” <b><sup>35</sup></b> The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. <b><sup>36</sup></b> Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. <b><sup>37</sup></b> For no word from God will ever fail.” <b><sup>38</sup></b> “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: white;"><span style="float: none;">In verse 28, the angel tells Mary that she is highly favored and the Lord is with her. Mary was just an ordinary woman that God sought out and favored because He saw that He could use her. In the same way, God handpicked each of us to be His children because He knew that He could use us as well. For some reason, the Lord found favor with us too! How special is that! Then we see that Mary is both confused and a little worried. But the angel explains the Lord's plans for Mary and this child. He says in verse 37, "For no word from God will ever fail." And in another translation it says, "For nothing is impossible with God." Amen! Mary's response after this is simply, "I am the Lord's servant. May your word to me be fulfilled." Mary's faith in God is put to the test here, but she completely surrenders to His plan. How great would be it be if we too had a willing heart like Mary's.

He is merciful to me and all His children, and He has done immeasurable mighty things.

Their challenge for women is to “Live 31” and take the stance “I’d rather be a Proverbs 31 woman than a Victoria’s Secret model.” Proverbs 31:10-31 talks about the kind of woman that the Lord desires for us to be. I want to take this challenge, and I want to be this woman to honor my Savior.

Inside the cover she wrote, “Be a woman who impacts eternity!” and cited 2 Corinthians 5:20 under it. This verse says, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” Thank you, Jill, for challenging me in this way. In 2012, I want to have a heart like Mary, I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman, and I want to be a woman who impacts eternity.

Since I never wrote around Thanksgiving, I decided to still keep the theme of “thankfulness”. I’ve had a lot going on recently, and I have a lot to be thankful for. Here are just a few things…</div>

God’s gift of grace and mercy. I am thankful that He is always faithful, steady, and unchanging. I am so amazed by the greatness of our God. He is constantly pouring His blessings upon me, and I am overwhelmed by His amazing love. “…how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” –Ephesians 5:18</div>

Family. Since moving back to Athens this year, time with family has been hard to come by. I am thankful that my family loves and supports me even when I have to be away from home for a while. I am thankful that they have been able to come and watch me cheer in Sanford Stadium this year. Even Grandma and Neil came up for the Kentucky game! I am thankful for the sweet time I got to spend with them and also for the time at home over Thanksgiving break. I am also thankful my sister and Brian will get to spend Christmas with us this year.</div>

Christmas. I love Christmas! It is now officially December and the 25 days of Christmas have begun! I am thankful that there is special music for Christmastime! I am also thankful for the special season drinks that Starbucks has! I’m thankful for Christmas lights and trees and ornaments and cookies! It all makes me so happy!</div>

I have so many things to be thankful for, and I am so incredibly blessed! Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend! “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.” –Psalm 118:1</div>

Over three months since I’ve written? What have I been doing?! Clearly a lot has happened in that length of time, and I want to share just how wonderfully God has been working in my life. To save you from reading another one of my novels, I’ll try to be brief.</div>

My summer was filled with lots of work at the daycare again. It really flew by so quickly. I was able to spend a lot of time with Casey, which was a big blessing since we’re no longer in the same place during the school year. My mom, dad, and I made a trip to Arkansas to visit my grandparents. My grandmother had a stroke back in April and has been going through a long recovery process. She was able to go home a few weeks ago, and although this transition is a difficult one, we are praying for even more success in the near future. It was so good to be able to spend some time with her and my grandpa.</div>

There are a million things that I want to tell you about my trip to the Dominican Republic, but I will save most of that for our personal conversations (so ask me about it!). My favorite part about the trip this year was that I saw some of the kids that I had met the year before, and they actually remembered me. My sweet girl at the orphanage, Hannah Madeline, reminded me not to cry as I was leaving her because “It’s not goodbye. I’ll see you next year.” And yes she will! My heart is still in the Dominican, and I cannot wait to go back!</div>

When I returned from the Dominican, we took a trip down to Apopka, Florida to see the newest edition of our family come into the world! Welcome beautiful Alaina Rose Metzler! She is our little princess already, and I cannot wait to see her again! During this short trip, I got to see my amazing family who I miss every day! It was such a good trip- and a way too short one!</div>

We got back from Florida on Wednesday, and I moved back to Athens on Friday to start two-a-days for cheerleading. It was pretty hectic at first. I had to stay with a friend for a few days while they finished my apartment, but I got to move in the day before we went off to camp in Myrtle Beach. We received a full-paid bid to nationals at camp this year! Whoo-hoo! Go Dawgs!</div>

School started back up the day after we returned from camp, and it has definitely been in full force! I’ve been a little overwhelmed with homework, studying, practicing, and keeping up with my organizations. But it’s starting to get a little better. I’m learning how to manage my time with so much on my schedule. God has really been working in my life through all of these things. I love my BCM family more than ever! They are so supportive to all that I have going on, and I am thankful for the relationships I have formed. I also got into a new ministry this year called Team United- a combination of FCA, Athletes in Action, and Georgia Athletes Outreach. I am absolutely loving it! And I’ll be leading a study with the cheerleaders this year as well; I cannot wait to see God’s hand work through it! God has recently been teaching me what it means to surrender to His will and truly live my life for His glory. I am in awe of how amazing our God is, and there are no words to describe how in love I am with my Savior! He is opening new doors and showing me things that I have not yet been aware of, and I am excited to see where He is leading me. More details to come on that soon, but for now, my prayer is for Him to use me. “I will go, Lord, send me. Send me out to the world to make you known.” That’s how I’m asking you to pray for me as well as I continue to see His plans unfold.</div>

Lastly, I won’t take up too many words on this- just leave you with some pictures. Being a Georgia cheerleader is one of the best experiences of my life! I have been so blessed by this gift in so many ways. I have met wonderful people, gone wonderful places, and most of all… cheered between the hedges in Sanford Stadium! I am loving every minute! It’s GREAT to be a Georgia Bulldog!</div>

Everything has been super busy the past month! A lot of things going on left very little time for me to write. So I’ll go back and cover what has been going on in my life recently. As school was ending and finals were approaching, I began to reflect on all that God had placed in my path during my freshman year of college. Of course, classes were difficult. And yes, I had first felt out of place at a very large school. But God had big blessings in store for me. I found a new family in the BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministries). And I found my best friends through my wonderful small group. I had finally become a University of Georgia cheerleader, a dream that took a long road to reach. God had truly provided for me and given me so much to be thankful for.</div>

On another note, when I got home the weekend before finals, my family received some bad news. My grandpa had passed away. We quickly packed and headed to Florida the next morning to be with the family. As we sat together to plan the service, we remembered all the good times with Grandpa full of love and laughter that he had blessed us with. My grandpa was a great man, and I still miss him every day. This past weekend, being Memorial Day, I have thought about him a lot. He served in the Air Force for 20 years and always showed so much pride in our country. He loved his family, and he loved America. I love him so much, and I am so proud to be his granddaughter.</div>

It was so nice to spend time with my family in Florida. We don’t get to see each other very often now that everyone is grown up and moved away. But Kris and Brian came down from Canada, and my cousin Brittany and her husband Justin came down from Missouri. We got to see my cousin Stephanie all cute and pregnant! Her second baby, a little girl this time, is due in August! All of our time together as a family is truly cherished.</div>

So I came back, took my finals, and that was it. School was over! I was done with my freshman year of college! It flew by so fast, but I had such an incredible time. As I packed up my dorm and got ready to say goodbye Athens for the summer, I was also having to say goodbye to my friends. In high school, it was never sad to leave for the summer because all of your friends were right there to see during the time you weren’t in school. But this time, I was really saying goodbye for a few months. Needless to say, I shed some tears. My girls have been so wonderful this year, and I don’t know how I’m going to go through a summer without them. But then I remember, when I move back to Athens in August, I will be sharing an apartment with them, and I cannot wait!</div>

Now summer has started time is flying! Earlier this month I got to wear my new Georgia cheerleading uniform for the first time (I cannot wait for football season to get here already!)! I started back working at the daycare, and I’ve been home spending time with family and old friends.<br />

My next big task ahead- besides keeping up with cheerleading- is the Dominican Republic trip! I am going to the Dominican Republic again this July on a mission trip with my church. I am beyond excited!!! Last year I had such an incredible time, and God used that trip to do so much work in my heart. I cannot wait to see what God had in store this year. I’ve been working hard to raise support money through letter writing and the big BBQ fundraiser we had at the church. I am happy to say that God has provided once again! So now all I can do is look ahead and begin praying! I pray that God will prepare my heart and the hearts of those whom I will come in contact with in the Dominican. I pray that He will provide the opportunities to share my faith in Him, and that I will be thoroughly equipped for when those opportunities present themselves.</div>

So as I wrap up another long blog post, I thank God for all that He has given me.

I have been blessed.</div>

About one year ago, I was trying out for the University of Georgia cheerleading squad. Ever since I was little, my dream for the future always included going to Georgia and being a UGA cheerleader. I had worked my whole life for this weekend, and I wanted it more than anything. After making it through finals last year, I got a letter in the mail telling me that it was not my year, but I should try again. In complete honesty, I was devastated. But what I couldn’t see then was that God had a better plan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That summer I was given the opportunity to go to the Dominican Republic with Hebron Baptist Church. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I played games with children in the villages, I got to use my Spanish to help everyone communicate, I visited an orphanage that had some very amazing little girls, and best of all, I witnessed some of God’s amazing works firsthand. It was during this trip that I realized this was all a part of God’s plan. He wanted me in the Dominican all along.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When this school year began, I came in as a lonely freshman. Just to let you know, the University of Georgia can be a pretty intimidating place! I went from MCHS, where my teachers knew my name, I had a friend to talk to any time I stepped in the hall, I had something to do every day after school (be it cheerleading, track, baseball games, clubs, ect.), and I knew exactly where everything was. I was comfortable. But boy was I out of my element here!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t get me wrong, this is exactly what I wanted. I had always dreamed of being at UGA, but I never knew how big of a change it would be. I knew my roommate, and I knew my best friends were only a couple dorms away, but we all had to adjust. We had different schedules, so we couldn’t go everywhere together like I had hoped. I began searching -alone and uncomfortable- for a campus ministry to get involved in, and I settled down with the BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministries). I really enjoyed their style of worship and the great messages that were preached.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually, I got involved in a small group through the BCM. These girls have been such a huge blessing in my life this year. We all grew close and became best friends. I don’t know what I would do without them- and that’s a good thing because I’m living with three of them next year! I have also been chosen to lead a small group for this coming year, and I cannot wait! I firmly believe that this was all a part of God’s plan as well. He wanted me to have time to get comfortable and involved here at UGA. He wanted me to make these friends and find this ministry to belong in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now for the ultimate blessing… after not making the cheerleading squad last year, I knew that I wanted to try out again. I worked hard all year long to improve my tumbling and stay in shape. I wanted this more than anything, and I wasn’t ready to give up on my dream. This weekend was it! Tryouts again! And this time I was ready! I had been praying about all of this and working so hard. The weekend unfolded and everything went really well. And when they posted the team, my name was on it! I cannot explain how happy and excited I was! Tears were rolling down my face as I hugged my family, friends, and new teammates. I am blessed beyond belief. This is my new mission field. I can now get involved with FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) as I was in high school. And I can be a light and encouragement in Christ for the rest of my team. I could not be more excited to see what God has planned for me!</div>

I have learned so much through all of this. “Have faith in your dreams. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” –Gail Devers. And I have also learned that God always has a plan and purpose for everything He does. It may not be what you want at the time, and it may not be what you think is best for yourself. But God knows exactly what He is doing, and God is good-ALL THE TIME! “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” –Jeremiah 29:11</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone! As you can see, this is my first blog! I spent some time on making it cute (of course!) so I hope you like it! My sister, my cousin, and some friends have blogs that I really enjoy reading- especially when I don’t get to see them very often. So I thought that now would be a good time to start a blog of my own. It’s a new chapter of my life here at UGA. I’m so excited about all of the things that I have already had the chance to do and the things that are still yet to come in the next three years! I wanted to be able to share with everyone how God is continuously at work in my life. I can’t promise that I’ll be updating very often seeing as school work has priority, but I am going to do the best I can. So here begins the journey and a little glimpse into my life. I hope you like it!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This weekend I stayed in Athens, so I went to Watkinsville Baptist Church yesterday with some friends. The message was awesome! God really spoke to my heart through this service in a way of comfort and answers. I have recently been looking and praying for a place to serve here. Well yesterday, God reminded me that as long as I am walking with Him and keep my focus on the ultimate goal, I will be given opportunities to be a disciple. The preacher began talking about how we tend to remember certain dates. Maybe we have games or appointments to be at that we write on the calendar or in our planners so we have that constant reminder to not forget. For weddings, the couple sends out a “Save the Date” well in advance so that their friends and family can post it up somewhere and remember not to plan anything for that day. A lot of people, my family for sure, put these up on the refrigerator. It’s important! And a very memorable event (seeing as we still have some on ourfridge that have been married for a couple years)! Well God uses that same picture of marriage and a wedding with Him one day. He reminds us that He will be coming back, and on this day, because of our salvation, we will be wed with Him for eternity. Now how much more important is that day?! How cool would it be if we could have a “Save the Date” posted on our refrigerators for this?! That way every day we would be reminded of His return. We would constantly look forward to our own ultimate wedding day! Of course, we don’t know the date of His coming, but we can still prepare for it. We can still begin setting our minds on it now. Because when this day arrives, God wants us to be ready. Our perfect wedding present to Him will be ourselves. Yes, you. Yes, me. All that God wants is us- pure, mature, perfect, complete, and ready on this day of His return. So how can we do that? How can we get ready? We strive for the ultimate goal: to be transformed in Christ’s likeness. Are our actions now intentional in striving to be more like Christ, or are we sitting comfortably in our relationships with Him? In Luke 5:27-32, we hear the story of God calling Levi. God said to Levi, “Follow Me,” and Levi gave up everything to follow God. Levi stepped out of the comfort that He knew to obey the command that was given to him. God is asking the same things of us here. We have to be willing to set comfort aside and follow Him wherever He leads. Verse 32 says, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” He doesn’t want us to just be comfortable in dwelling with those who know Him, but He desires for us to go out and make Him known to those who don’t already know Him. Our attitude should always be intentional in stepping out to proclaim Him. This means becoming a disciple. Discipleship is defined as a long obedience in one direction. To become a disciple is saying that we are being changed in this process of long obedience. I hear these words all the time and think, “How can I do that? What can make me a disciple?” The preacher laid out four ways to grow in discipleship… One: pursue relationships that will help us grow. Everyone is in need of a discipler and a discipled. Meaning we need someone who is pouring into us and someone that we are pouring into as well. Two: position yourself in environments to grow. Once again, this takes stepping out of the comfort zone that our every-day lives have us in. We need to take advantage of the new opportunities, places, and adventures that God presents us with. Three: participate in obedience to grow. It can be hard sometimes to actually do what God is calling us to do, but we have to overcome that fear in order to become obedient. Four: pause and evaluate our relationship to grow. We have to think about where we are in our walk with God and where we possibly could be. In doing this, I had to stop and think about my own life. What relationships am I in that are influencing me? Who am I having an influence on? What environments am I putting myself in that are out of my normal comfort zone? Am I being obedient to the directions that I hear God calling me to? The truth is that I don’t know the answer to most of these questions. And hearing that myself makes me realize that I need to start looking for discipleship every single day. Beth Moore says, “A place unchallenged is a place unchanged.” I need to begin challenging myself to constantly think about these four ways to grow. When we walk with Jesus, we see the Master Discipler at work. He moves and changes things continuously. Every move that God makes is intentional; it all has a purpose. So in turn, our actions should be intentional in discipleship with Him. In this way we will be preparing ourselves for the big day. We will be ready to present ourselves as perfect and complete when our ultimate wedding day with Jesus Christ comes. “Looking at his disciples He said, ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in Heaven.’” –Luke 6:20-23. Everything that we go through here on Earth is intentional and for the purpose of being prepared for the Glorious Day! I have now created my own little “Save the Date” that I printed out and posted in my room as a reminder that God is coming for me! It’s a little reminder that I should continue to prepare myself every day! Here’s what it looks like:</span></span><br />
