i feel like it's been forever since i last wrote a blog. so much has been going on in my life that i barely have time to rest.

i went to houston for theCall & for the LIFE siege. it was an amazing weekend full of prophetic words from the Lord. people got healed & people got saved! it was wonderful.

work has been okay but it's been really slow since no one is really spending money.

this past weekend i went on a retreat with the young adults from my church. we went to pigeon forge. i had a great weekend. i got to reconnect with a couple of people i met last year who live in WV & i also got to spend time with a friend who is doing mission work in downtown Atlanta. it was so good to hear how the Lord moves in her & just to see much she has grown in her walk. on our way home yesterday, we spend the whole time just talking about the Lord and worshiping together. i loved every second of it.

the Lord is so good. I was reminded of the His love for me again. i love Him.

weird

do you know the real meaning of the word "weird?"

it doesn't mean strange...

this is what it means:

1.	involving or suggesting the supernatural; unearthly or uncanny

2.	fantastic; bizarre: a weird getup.

(from dictionary.com)

so it's more prophetic than we thought!

how cool is that??
well, at least natalie, cierra, and i thought it was on our way to atlanta.

theCall crisis

are you a Nazirite?

so i'm reading NAZIRITE DNA by Lou Engle. it's really good so far. Lou Engle writes about the meaning & what it takes to be a Nazirite. there are people who are called to be a Nazirite & be completely devoted to the Lord. John the Baptist was a Nazirite in the New Testament. Lou talks about the first time God gives the invitation of becoming a Nazirite is in Numbers 2:6. Being separated from man & be completed devoted to God.
I really like it & i can't wait to finish it. one thing that really stuck out to me as i was reading last night was this:

"Don't be afraid of loving God too much. The religious status quo will never understand your Nazirite passion. But love never counts the cost. It always gets the most expensive thing in the house an pours it out on God."

i really just loved that. i know sometimes i feel like i can't love God as much as i want too and i have conformed to it. that is such a lie! i need to stop doubting myself. our generation needs to stop doubting. i have decided that my time is now to be radical again, like i was in tuscaloosa. birmingham has been different for me but i know that i can do this. so, now i am dedicating myself to the Lord & really letting Him use me for anything. i pray for boldness & courage for myself to do what He wants me to do.

on a different note:
Saturday, Jan 16th, myself & a few others are going to Houston, TX for theCall crisis. Planned Parenthood is building their largest building yet for abortion. please pray for us as we go. i will probably post something before i leave for that.

so this christmas "break" has been good. this is what i have done:

hang out with paige & bethany, who are home from Lee. i miss having them around 24/7 like in high school.

one of my best guy friends got married & had an awesome 'flying v' shaped cake.

new years with paige, watching tv on dvd, & drinking sparkling cranberry apple cider.

work.

got a yorkie whose name is Queenie but we are calling her Sadie.

visit the church of brook hills. they had really good worship.

gotten new worship music.

got a snuggie for christmas.

and watch some good movies.

now i'm wishing my friends didn't have to go back to school.... oh well, we get snow on thursday!

Merry Christmas

wow, Christmas flew by this year. it doesn't/didn't feel like Christmas. I have just been working constantly. not hanging out with my friends all the time makes me a little sad.

it's been a little rough these past couple of months spiritually but i'm definitely hanging in there and trying to follow God's plan for my life. it's tough but i'm being patient.

i can't wait to see where He takes me and who He puts in my life.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
--Romans 8:25

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
--Romans 12:12
