Healed By His Scars, Purchased By His Blood
And even though
I’m walkin’
through.
The valley of the shadow.
I
will hold tight to the hand of Him.
Whose
love
will comfort me.
And when all
hope is gone
and I’ve been wounded in the battle.
He is all the strength that I will
Ever need.
And He will
carry me.
I know I’m broken.
But You alone.
Can mend this heart of mine.
You’re always with me.

I'm Alive :) Whoa i havent posted in here in such a long long long time.Im sorry about that!I was working in publix for a long while.I ended that Dec 20th because i wanted to spend christmas week with my family before i go to the honor academy Jan 6 2007. We well be leaving on the 2nd of Jan and i'll be away from home for a year.Which will be so hard to do but i know i have big things to accomplish next year.I can visit though:) Family will be getting a tour of Honor Academy.Its In Texas.If you heard of Aquire the fire and or teen mania well its their school. Http://honoracademy.com.
Christmas was good,weather stunk though ,it was dreary out.Got my mom and grandma a shirt with my sis and I on it.Got dad a mug that has our photo on it and got sis that 70s show box set(she loves that show)and through in a barbie night light(her name is barbara but i nicked named her barbie,she goes by barbie too.)
Yesterday went to disney becase i had one more day left on my pass that i got when i went to night of joy in september with an old friend of mine..but we couldnt go for the last day and well she didnt come through for the last day cause she doesnt talk to me now.Shes pregnet and well thinking that i think less of her which isnt true i still care about her regardless of what she has done.I called a bunch of times and she doesnt answer so i dont bother ,Its a lost cause.So my fam for christmas got the 3 day pass and we went last night.It was kinda a daster though..Was too crowed ,people were WAY rude,The staff apperantly doesnt help people in wheelchairs anymore cause of a stupid rule they passed for equal rights. so now wheel chair people have to not be helped because the non wheelchair people dont help eachother.My grandma has a cane and cant walk far distances so she needs a wheelchair well lets just say it wasnt pretty..We only saw finding nemo which was cute but some parts (bruce the shark) is too scary for kids.They made it into a musical which was intresting. I liked tarzan a lot better but they did do a good job on finding nemo.Besides finding nemo we saw lion king and went to the magic kingdom and saw pirates of the carribbean which is always cool expecally since they added johnny depp:) and we shopped .Rest of the time was spent in line with the rude people.
In April i went with my friend i met in ecuador to tx.We went to six flags which was a bunch of fun.I normally dont go on rollercosters but i went on batman which is fun and i went on sock wave which i didnt like one bit i kept popping outta my seat.Got photos with batman and robbin and with tweety,selvester,yammite sam,daffy duck,bugs bunny.First night went to see disciple,audio A,Kutless,Hawk Nelson.They were all awesome we had 4th row seats the seats were amazing.I wasnt able to meet them because they all had to fly out that night so they had to leave.Saw nataile grant and mercy me on the second night.Our seats were two rows back from were we were the other day.Which was still great seats.Mercy me is awesme.there stage setup was great and they were just awesome.Was a wonderful night of worship.He was telling us that his 4 year old has dibities and that he was pleading with Lord asking him why and stuff it was sad.We wont know why things happen but Lord has a greater purpose for everything.We also went to church which was different from my chuch but it was cool,they acutally serve you wine instead of grape juice for communnion.We went to garden vally to have a tour of the honor academy and mercy ships.It was a cool trip.
all the photos from the trip are here Jen's Adventures
I will be updating this when im in texas as well.
In june my sis and I went on a mission trip with the youth group.that was great.We helped build cottages for kids that have been abused and such.We also helped clean up with yard work.We had the mission trip in Gorgia.It was another great experance.Lot of good memories.
In September Like i said we went to night of joy.Its a christian concert that disney puts on.A ton of big name and not so big named artist come out for one huge night of worship.This year i went with my old friend from school.We got the three day pass so that we could spend time in disney as well.Because she had to do her job we werent able to go the third day so we just saved that day.I only got to see Rebecca St James,Jeremy Camp,Vicky Beeching,ZOEgirl ,Matthew west and toby mac(a lil bit).It was great though besides the little set backs.It rained almost all night so got soaked waiting for ZOEgirl it was their last time in my area cause they are solo now.Where matthew west and vicky was they were having difficulties with the stage.Other than all that it was great, just had to be patient.
I also went to a few other concerts sonicflood at south biscyane,staple(their last stop in florida before they went their seprate ways)with a bunch of others as well like Eversfield.Sis and I went to see Kids in the way at the hindge twice first time their bus broke down so they couldnt make it but that night got to see fireflight.I did see kids in the way though ,they were great.
all my photos of all the concerts i have been to and christian artist i have met are here http://www.faithandmusic.com/ConcertandMeets/main.php
Other than all that i dont think much else has happened that i can think of anyways.
Oh i got a new myspace so the link below doesnt work (because i deleted it it goes out in the pot again so someone liked it and took it)My new one where i update a lot more..IS
http://myspace.com/healedbyhisscars so add it if you have one:) Anyways until next time which hopefully wont be almost another year again lol see ya and God Bless.

My bday was amazingly awesome. I went to acquire the fire [Acquirethefire] and it was so amazing. There's nothing like worshiping lord Jesus with others. Heaven is going to be amazing. The drama was awesome just all of it was just awesome. they had alter calls and so on my bday people were saved which is just so awesome :D i love those events its just makes everything seem like you are in a different place its hard to explain. Pillar, thousand foot kutch, beatmart, Michael gungor and skillet where there as well. they were all totally awesome. I cant wait to go to the honor academy its just going to be so awesome. im going to miss my fam a heck of a lot but i cant wait to see where Lord takes me. what the theme was with atf [acquire the fire] was to run to the battle. there is a spiritual battle going on for our heart, mind ,the world and our generation. If the world stays like it and our generation does nothing there will be only 4% of bible believing Christians out there. The drama showed what will happen if we don't do anything and if we do something about it. There was a guy that was living in 2006 and he went to the peace core so that he could share the gospel with them. They took a hold of him and charged him with spreading the gospel ,they told him to spit on the bible but he didn't .They through him in prison and he died there. He had 2 boys who had problems growing up but preached Jesus to everyone standing up for what the believed no matter what happened to them. There is a media that was suppose to be the only source of anything everyone would go on there to see and hear things. well the company was trying to change Christ followers messages by distorting it with false info. So that when they went to show and tell others what they were doing that other people wouldn't believe in Christ's message The boys were put on trial for spreading the gospel. Through telling the truth people needed to hear they got others to believe in the saving message of Jesus.
If there is an atf near you GO I know you will love it its such a great event that will change you.
last night my fam celebrated my bday since I wasn't with them I was with my youth group ,my sissy came with me though which was AWESOME. We went to the olive garden which is my fav :) then went to super Wal-Mart and then came back home and had cake :) YUMMMMMMMMMMMY. so that was my awesome weekend .ill be getting the photos up soon on my site.

| A Candy Maker |
[19 Dec 2005|09:33pm] |
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.... - John 3:16
A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness of his faith. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy-white to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church and the firmness of God's promises.
The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also be thought to represent the staff of the Good Shepherd with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.
Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, and by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
The candy became known as the candy cane-a decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there.
During Christmas, do you reflect on the real meaning of the season? It is one season we can use like no other to bring the focus on Christ. Ask God to give you opportunities to share Christ with someone this Christmas.

| Farmer and the Ducks |
[08 Dec 2005|09:14am] |
It was a cold winter night ,the farmer heard a noise so he got up and saw that it was a duck that went into the window.He had compassion on the duck and went to help him.He saw that the rest of the ducks were just wondering around near the light.He had compassion on them and thought maybe if i can open the door turn on the light they would fly in so he could save them.He tryed it but that didnt work.He tryed some more to save them from the cold..This time he thought maybe if i try herding them then i could save them..He tryed it and that didnt work either.He wanted so bad to save these ducks from the cold.He thought if only i could be a duck then i could save them....
Dont know if you got that but Just like the farmer God has tryed everything to save his people (us).Like the farmer everything failed except one. God had to send Jesus Christ who is God in human form to save us from sin.He had to become one of us to save us.He died so that we might live.All we have to do is ask God for forgivness and turn our lives over to him and he will make our lives wonderful new and beautiful.When we are born again into a right relationship with God we are Children of God and our home is in heaven.Not only that but he is can fix all the mistakes we have made.There will still be conquences but he will clean your live up and make it new.See its not about "religion" its about a relationship with God and his creation Man (us) which he longed to have. thats why he told adam and eve not to eat of the tree because sin seperates us from God and breakes that relationship but with Jesus you can have a right relationship again!
If you would like to be a christian (have a right relationship with God).Just pray something like this and BELIEVE.
Lord God,
I come to you today to ask for your forgivness.I know you sent jesus to die for me and then raised him from the dead on the third day.I messed my life up and i want you to fix it please come into my heart.I want that relationship that you longed to have from day one.Please forgive me and make me new,guiding me to the way of everlasting.I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
In Jesus Name
Amen

| Something to make you laugh[SOUTH FLORIDA CARDIO EXERCISE] |
[27 Oct 2005|08:40pm] |
LoL i got that as a fwd and thought it was great.
Nothing much new here just work basicly.You dont realise how many people are out there that need an upliftment everyday or just a hi.At my job i talk to a lot of people that are ill ,have tons of burdens on there hearts and just want someone just to talk to them.So maybe at your work look for ways to say hi and be there for someone cause there are tons of people who just need someone there.You will be suprised the results:)
Thank The Lord that wilma didnt make a mess again in my town,But we should still all pray for the people they will need it.My house we are just waiting on dry walls to be put in and then just little stuff like pant and get my stuff back in and remodel my room so hopefully it will be soon.
Oh if you guys want a great deal on getting cds i have a great one.I belong to a club thats called sound and spirit.they have tons of christian stuff and nonchristian stuff as well for those that dont listen to christian stuff.If you sign up you have 7 cds that you can pick from their catalog for FREE all you have to do is pay the shipping.Then within a year you just have to get ONE cd at full price and they will give you 4 more free.You can do it by mail or my email.For me to get 6 cds it cost 17 dollars thats so cheap thats really the price of one cd you would get in a store.They have new titles too just when it comes out you have to wait a while before it comes to them but they still have them.anyways if you want to join go here SOUND AND SPIRIT CDs For CHEAP
Hope all is great!
God Bless <><
In Christ
With Love

19For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.
2 Corinthians 5:19
9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed.
Romans 10:9-11

sorry I haven't wrote in here in a while .I have huges updates though.
Night of joy was awesome. My family went and took me to the Friday night of joy and we stayed over night in the same hotel that my youth group would be staying at so that i could meet up with them the next day.Friday night i saw matthew west, mark schultz, casting crowns, and part of mercy me [will explain in a little bit].We got there just about when it was ready to start so when i got there we made plains that i would go one way and then catch up with my fam later since my ma just wanted to see casting crowns ,matthew west and steven curtis chapman.So i headed to see mark schultz and when i got there it was so packed i couldn't get up there but i made my way towards the seats and the closest i got was at the back of the last row of seats. So i stayed there and hoped later that i would find Hailey since we were going to meet. when it got close to the time matthew west was going to come on i left [only one song left of mark schultz]. I made my way 1/2 way around the park to where matthew west was performing and it was so packed it wasn't even funny but i just kept saying excuse me and made my way to the front. i got not bad place but as time went on i made my way past the flowers and to the left front closer. I got great photos that i will be putting on my site soon. After that I just stayed for casting crowns to come on because i knew that if i left to see steven i couldn't see casting crowns and i wanted to see cc again. so i waited 40 min to see casting crowns and when Matthew west was over i just made my way to the front front i got front row for cc. I love watching them they are amazing artists i could watch them over and over again. at the end of their concert my ma was calling me but i know if i answered that i wouldn't be able to hear here so i just wanted until they were over. My ma was telling me that that she was in the 4th row to see mercy me that she knew i wanted to see them so that if i could hurry i could find her and stay with her. Well be time i got out and over to her it was impossible. I was determined to get to the front but i just couldn't find her and get closer so i asked the guard if i could go up where my ma was and he wouldn't let me through so i just got frustrated and left and sat on the other side hardly seeing them. I wasn't going to find my ma and grandma in that mess and told the guard that but he didn't listen and that's exactly what happened i couldn't find them. My ma wasn't going to see them but she was glad she stayed because my mom and grandma enjoyed their show which is awesome :) so that was the first night of night of joy. We went back to the hotel and the next morning we went to downtown Disney and shopped. we made our way back to the hotel to drop me off at 3 or so to meet up with Elise and jack and the youth. after that my family went on their way home and i stayed for the next night of joy. We went to eat at Wendy's and made our way to Disney we got their early enough. Because i was chaperoning i had to stay with the group but our little group that i was put in worked it out to where i got to see Toby mac like i wanted to .I wanted to see the others too but i really wanted to see Toby so I went with one of the girls named Alex and we stayed in line at the castle and wanted for Toby. We got FRONT ROW seats above the bar where everyone else was at. He put on a great concert very energetic and fun. We then just went on rides [stitch's great escape, haunted mansion and Mickey's philer magic] after that we were going to go see the newsboys but we were told that we had to be back at our meeting place at 12 15 so that if we were to wait for front seats we wouldn't be able to get out and would be late so we didn't wait for front row seats we were on the bridge where i saw mercy me the previous night. Little did i know that the rest of the youth got to the front so our meeting time only my group and like 2 others were on time everyone else wasn't because they were at the concert. So i could have got to the front and saw them but we didn't. It was great though i enjoyed both days a lot.
Hailey I'm sorry we didn't get to meet i was looking forward to meeting you we will have to try again lol 4th time.
------------------------------
Work has been ok.They have been giving me bad times like one is 9-930 at night and then the following morning i have to wake up at 9 which gives my feet no rest at all.i have been havin a ton of problems with my feet everynight,they been throbing me every night.I got through though by prayers if i didnt have jesus i would be hurting and wouldnt make it at all thats for sure! I have been also trying to reach people for jesus while at work.i work at publix which is a supermarket.Im a bagger and their policy is after you bagg the grocerys to take the people out to their car and put it in.so i been trying to talk to the people and put in a little bit of hope.Like a lot of people talk abot the hurricanes and such so i say to pray and such and that God is in contol and tell people ill pray for them and send them a blessing on their way.I want to do more but i know the lord can use me to bring others hope so im trying at work.I just write this to tell you ANYWHERE you are you can help spread jesus love and impact the kingdom of God.Maybe those people i taked to were already christian maybe they arent but by just putting a little bit of blessing in their lives will make a big difference,God can use it for drawing them closer to him.
_____________________________________
The other update is that the past two days i went to the revolve tour with 4 girls from youth and my youth group leader and one of the girls mothers.ZOEgirl was there,nataile grant was there and tammy trent was there as well as laura wilconsine(?).I went to see ZOEgirl cause i made the dvd of our mission trip for them and wanted to give it to them.I got their fanclub so i could use it this weekend but they were having meet and greats for all so i didnt need to use it.I was able to meet them with out it.They were so happy to see me.They were at their merch booth area but not AT their merch booth it was a little ways down.I wanted to meet them the first night cause i wasnt sure if i were able to meet them the next.I felt better if i meet them asap.So when it was done with for friday night they annoucned that they were going to be meeting.I went over to the merch table got merch and asked the people there where they are going to be meeting thats when they told me over there.We all went passed the line.anyways i stayed in line and when it was my turn alisa looked up and was excited to see me.she jumped up and gave me a hug.I gave her the dvd and told her its for them and that as they knew helen wasnt able to get the cd done of all the photos but that i made the dvd of our photos and such and that im working on a site with helen of the photos and such.Kristen was signing so she didnt notice me until a little bit but when she did just jumped up and gave me a hug too:) She was happy to see me she was "like you came"! she couldnt belive i was there or something because i told them i would try and go there to see them but i didnt know because of my job i was getting and such.she asked me who i came with and such.See on the trip alisa and kristen gave me a nickname because i was in ecuador dress ,and earings so they nicknamed me ecuadorable so kristen said its the ecuadorable girl! i was saying ya its funny you say that because i put that as my name on there fanclub and she said oh really thats cute.I was telling them that i didnt know if they knew but i took a bunch of videos and such of them and named some and they thought it was cool i had it on there so thats good lol..Also i asked them if they would pray for me that my church would pay for this comming trip because i really wanted to go so they said they would.They thanked me for coming and said it was great seeing them .I wanted to ask them a few more questions but this one sercuity girl was kinda rude .as i was talking to them i was still letting them sign for other people so the line was still moving.But she was like you arent the only one here in a really nasty tone so i just said i know that thank you and walked off.But yesterday they had another signing so i stayed in line to asked them what i wanted to ask them.See on the trip Alisa and i talked a lot and i wanted to get an update on how the person she wanted me to pray for was,i wanted to see how chrissys leg is doing because she has some kind of thing with her leg where sometimes it causes too much pain that she cant walk on.But anyways i was able to see them and ask those questions so i was glad :) I wasnt sure if i wanted to get their poster but i did and got it signed yesterday.The girls are just so amazing and sweet.The concert was great they had chrissy share her testimony ,tammy did too and so did nataile.Nataile grant had and eatting disorder so when i met her i wanted to give her some encouragement.So i told her shes beautiful no matter what and that she has an awesome voice, she thanked me and said God bless.I wanted to meet tammy but i wasnt able to because she had too many people there.Her testmony had a lot of people in tears it was really touching.Its too long for me to post here but maybe sometime ill post in the next update or something.anyways I took photos but im not sure if they are all that great.
anyways i hope all is blessed.Sorry its so long i will try and not do that next time.

Shows ya you are never to old or young to be a hero in someone's life. With the small things you do you can overcome and make the outcome big.

Hey guys,
well since i updated i have had work. The second day of work was better. There was a sister in Christ who i helped out which was awesome. she asked me if i knew Christ that's why i know she's a sister in Christ hehe. Wednesday i had to close unfortunately. It was ok ,the day went kinda fast its just that because i was in the closing shift i had to level the food which is to bring everything on the shelves forward. Also we have jobs to do and i got to clean the bathrooms and lounges ,I had help though. Yesterday i had my paper job it went fast its always an easy job cause it only takes about 4 hours to do and i make a lot more. ever other week i get 175 dollars and its only one day a week. Today i have work from 3pm-10 so im closing again. Lord put me here so i belong at publix .im thinking its to witness to others who i take out and prob for the managers too.. Where ever lord leads me to say is what im going to say even if it is just that im Christian or to pray. That's so far how im trying to get in the convo of spiritual things. I know its working because a lady came in and was in tears almost talking to me about the hurricane i just told her there isn't much we can do except pray and help when needed well i was talking while we were going back into publix and joe the manager [he's the one that was making fun of them] was standing there he kept staring at me listening to what i was saying so i know that did good. Oh our house is total almost all gutted out they just have to do the kitchen. First we have to get the air condition dude out and when that's done they will inspect , spray and then just have to wait a little bit. Then they put the walls back in and we go back. Then of course is the rugs ,cabinets and painting and remodeling .Anyways that's about it here ,nothing else is new other that what i just posted. Hope all is greatly blessed.
if you wanna donate to red cross go here
Red Cross donate for Katrina victims
oh my radio station is doing something awesome they are collecting gift cards from Wal-Mart ,Kmart etc and they are going to give them to salvation army to give to the people that have nothing in Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama since everyone is going for new Orleans.

| First day of Work---How it went |
[29 Aug 2005|09:35pm] |
Today was the first day at my new job. When i got there 5 min earlier i was waiting for Sharon to come out so be time she clocked me in i was a min late:/ Then just went into the training office filled the rest of the orientation papers and got my uniform. I had to fill out a paper saying that im requesting off. See before i got hired i told the guy tom that higher me that im going with my church on the 9,10 and im off the 11 so that wouldn't be a prob and also the 23 and 24th .He said it was fine and i made sure with him that he knew that i felt i should tell him and im glad i did thank you lord because i don't think he would have granted it. Well anyways today Sharon made me fill out paper work about me leaving off and i wanted to make sure she knew that tom said it was ok that he wouldn't have hired me if it wasn't ok with him. Well she tells me that you cant say tom said this and that. That ,that form is what is going to back me up and that she thinks that they can schedule it in so i wont have to cancel. Well im not going to cancel it that's going to be a mess if they don't give it to me because i had going going to night of joy and the revolve tour a LONG time ago and if they said yes they shouldn't have to do that. We will just have to see what happens...Anyways so after that i had to watch a video on bagging since im a bagger it was like a sports show but instead of sports it was all on bagging and customer service which was kinda interesting. Anyways so after that i went to the front and Peter trained me how to bag and such. It was fun in the beginning but then when lunch time came it was another story...I had lunch and some of the managers were in there....This one manager was talking about the hurricane and that he saw a guy on the tv playing the sax and he said that he should turn it over tomorrow [which was today] and make it a snorkel. That was so Rude i cant believe a person would be that cold hearted especially a MANAGER.I know why arent perfect but you would think he would have more compassion on people when he knows what its like to have a hurricane come through. Then they were talking about beer and drinking and stuff ,i just wanted to run out of there i should have since you can but it gave me an idea of how they really are which makes me sad.I'm not juging them but that's just wrong what they were saying and made me uncomfortable. Anyways there was a lot of people there that are baggers like me and they were picking on me saying do this and that when i was,they dont do what they are supose to then they try and tell me thats just wrong. then when i didn't think that the guy wanted to be taken out they yell at me.Im not worring about it though i know im doing what im supose to so thats all that matters. See there was this guy that was in the automatic wheel chairs and he looked like he was doing fine on his own ,that he didn't want to be taken out.See we have to take the peoples carts and start walking out the door to put the stuff in their car. I didn't think he needed help even though he was in a wheelchair he looked like he got it under control. Well one of the cashers called another bagger over saying that to go help him. So then the one she called over said she can, meaning me. So i just said i didn't think he needed help. Anyways so i walk out and the guy looked sad and looked like he was wiping a tear away. I still feel so bad i never wanted to hurt the guys feelings. Its just you cant tell if the customers want you to take the cart or not and didn't know what we were suppose to do with the ones that were in the automatic wheelchair. :( When i told my parents i just cried, i'm an emotional person and when people are hurt im hurt. I never wanted to hurt the guys feelings. Other than that its an ok job. When you bring out the people some of them tell you their whole life story so im able to then try and add Christ in there. Like today they were saying that they were sick or hurting or about the hurricane and so i just said ill pray for them and that all you can do really with hurricane Katrina is to just pray. So im just trying to implant something's of God in there. So what i learned today that you should first pray in the morning to help lord guide you in your convos where he wants them to go. I always pray in the morning if i didn't i would have a messed up day, But i hardly pray for him to guide me with my convos which i should today wouldnt have been a decent day if I didnt pray and ask for his guidance with the convos. Also that anywhere you are you can share Gods love but only with his help of course:) lastly to always be alert with customers.
anyways hope everyone is doing great.Remember to keep the hurricane people in your prayers they will need it.

Hey guys,
yesterday i had the orientation for my new job at publix. They require everyone to go to that before they start at the publix that they hired you for. So i went yesterday from 9 until 230.It was kinda interesting got a little long at the 1/2 half. Tomorrow i officially start my new job at publix as a bagger. When i got out of publix there was a guy selling Christian tshirts for youth challenge in florida. Its were they help people that are alcoholic's and such. The dude said that that program saved his life, so we were just talking about how Jesus is the one and only way to get over an addiction and such it was a cool convo that we had. He had some great shirts so i got 4 of them. One of them has Jesus on the cross and a dove underneath and light around it so its like the trinity underneath it says our lord, the other one has a sketch of Jesus hands where you see a drop of blood where he was pierced and it says gift of grace, another shirt has duct tape and it says "everyone uses tape to fix things God used nails, and the last shirt i got has the back of Lord Jesus in his robe with his hands tied behind him and it says saved the world with his hands behind his back or something like that and has a verse. Lets see...so that was all that happened yesterday.. Tomorrow like i said i have my job and i work from 9-4 but all the days is different. I think thats about it right now. Lets keep everyone in the path of hurricane Katrina in our prayers its going to be worse then what i went through with charley because it will be the same a 4 close to a 5 like i had with charley but charley was moving a lot faster this storm is only moving 7mph so its going to do a lot more damage....Pray that everyone is out of there that they aren't stubborn and stay because this is DEADLY. Oh i forgot tomorrow the workers are suppose to come and this time its a different guy that the comp hired so he said he can get it done within a week or something if they say its ok. So tomorrow daddy and I wont be able to sleep in the living room we will have to come in here, the trailer .anyways well that's abut it for now ill post tomorrow and let you know how my job is. Hope all is great and remember to pray for the people that are in Katrina's path also that the two new ones don't develop anytime soon ,i would like to go to night of joy this year without another hurricane killing the chance to go...take care and God Bless everyone !

Well today was my paper job ,work day. Today was also my dads doctors appointment to see if the lump is dangerous or what....IT WENT DOWN!!!!! So its not dangerous whooooo thank you Lord and for all those that prayed for me. Please continue to pray though because my dad is under a lot of stress with the house and such and just for it to go away completely. Today the guys that are working on our house was suppose to come but never showed up so i guess the storm chased them away or something. I wont be on the comp until the storm passes because i have all my stuff in the trailer [where i'm at right now] and its not that safe cause it will rock back and forth with high winds.. Tomorrow at 10 30 am i have to go to publix [supermarket] to fill out paper work so i can then go to the orientation on Saturday and then Monday i start. Its awesome i will get paid every week so i will have a good chunk of money, then ill see later down the line where Lord wants me to do if i'm suppose to go to the Honor academy or where. That's really about it nothing much else. Stay safe and thanks again ill talk to you all on Monday prob.

Well lets see tomorrow I have to get everything out of my room and live in the trailer with my daddy while they gut out my house and redo it. I'm dreading getting the rest of the stuff out of my room....I have to do some tonight and the rest tomorrow. They said it would take 2 months until everything is complete but i can go back in my comfy bed sooner which is great just will be like it is now but with no mold.They have to gut it out beause hurricane charley came through our town and messed things up but PTL we are here and thats all that matters! Nothing else is going on.Hope everyone is blessed and doing great!

I will leave you with a song I love:
"For The Moments I Feel Faint"
By Relient K
Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
[Chorus:]
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you your wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear
[Chorus]
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands

Well my dad didn't get back to the doctors yet so i'm not sure if the lump went down or not yet...He will see the doctor on the 25th i believe. Other than that I went to see Tait at south Biscayne on aug 13th they were awesome! My Family went and loved them :) you can see the photos on my site faithandmusic.com. The BIG news ::inserts Drum roll here::: I GOT A JOB!!! after 3 years being out of school I finally got a part time job that's not just one day. I will be working at publix its a supermarket for those of you who don't know. So thank you LORD !! I'm just going to save the money and then see where lord leads me if he still wants me to go to the honor academy or not. I think right now is not a good time because I finally got this new job and I don't want to just quit it next year plus i still wont have the benefits I needed until I work at publix for a year so its just not the right time...Anyways Besides that I'm going to go to night of joy with my family on the 9th and then the 10th with my youth group, and I cant wait to meet ya Hailey!! Oh I guess all that I didn't say is on the mission trip there was a journalist named Helen who I got to be friends with. She's a really cool person that people should have gotten to know her....Anyways we are working together on a site that I made which has photos, about the trip ,where to contact others that went on the trip ,testimonials and such. I'm waiting for Helen to call me back so I can help her with her uploading her photos and she has to write some of the things but other than that its all done so shouldn't be that much longer. I'll let ya know when its all done:) Well I guess that's it for now. I'll ttylz.

My Daddy felt a lump in his chest. He went to his skin doctor and he didn't know what it was. He's sending my daddy to another doctor that would know but he thinks he will have to have surgery. The skin doctor is going to give him two weeks to see if it goes down in size. Please pray that it just goes away all together so my daddy doesn't have to have surgery.thanks

Hey everyone ill give ya a run down of what we did and such. its long so be patient. This is all of what happened.
=============================
The schedule was like this :
wake up at 7 and sometimes it was 8.Breakfast and when you were done with breakfast it was devotion time. Zoë girl made devotions for us. It was just a time to seek lord. after devos it was sometimes a quick meeting or getting ready for the day. around 9 or so was when we headed out to the ministry site for the day. Did our ministry until 4 pm and headed back to the hotel and had free time until dinner which was at 6pm.at 7 was a dodge ball game and around 730 was a meeting and worship time, then bed.
the drama is about a toy maker and his son {Jesus and God}, there's toys at are suppose to be different things like the cats [roman soldiers], GI Joe is I think suppose to be John, there's a Spanish dancer [Mary mother of God] ,then there's a clown and mimes. I was a mime. mimes are the barrier that separates us from God and also part of the garden of Eden. I swinging door in the garden of Eden. they also have a prince and princess which is Adam and Eve. Its really unique way of telling the gospel.
Day 1-3
The first three days were in Miami for drama casting, training and language training. Got to meet two of the Zoë girls [Kristen and Alisa]. We got to meet all the people in our teams. It was too huge to have all in the same team so there was two a blue team and a red team, I was on the blue team. Played some games to get to know one another. We had meetings every night at 7 and then after that was worship. One of the meetings on the first day I was early so I got to watch Zoë girl practice. We had some skits that some of the teams did which were very funny, they were designed to draw a crowed for when we are out to bring people to watch the drama. Lunch was always peanut butter and jelly so Alisa was saying that there are a lot of things you can do with pb&j so she rubbed it on her lips as a lip gloss, as conditioner, as deodorant etc, it was really gross but really funny too.
Day 4
day 4 was flight day.
Day 5
We went to the elderly home, it was cool. we put lotion on the people and did some skits, and one of the 5 Jennifer's danced and then had us go up and just dance with her, it was fun.
Day 6
we went to three parks, it was so incredibly awesome. after and before the play we tried to explain what the play was like what character's represents and such and then had an altar call. There was this one little girl she just loved us to bits she kept kissing everyone that had the face make upon and she got it all over her lips and stuff it was so cute. Not me though just gave me a big hug which was better :) a total of 144 people came to the lord, PTL! Michael passions previously from Avalon came in today to join us.
Day 7
today we went to one of the churches and painted the walls a macaroni and cheese yellowish orange. Alisa from Zoë girl joined us today and she was painting where I was so I got to talk to her. I wanted jerry[ she's the nurse] to take the photo of us painting because one of my new friends took the camera and took photos for me and she got the back of Alisa and most of us... she took it again and Alisa asked me if it was my camera and so i said yes and she said why don't we take a photo together so I got one with us holding a paint brush and she's holding the paint bucket .it was really sweet of her to do that it was just random cause I lot of the people don't take photos with them on ministry days. They set aside a day for signatures and photos so that was awesome. we had an offering for that church cause someone is trying to buy it from them and take it away when it was there for 15 years and started by a missionary. So to help them they made some cool cloth painting things that look like placemat's, they were beautiful. We also went to see the city walk which was all the historic churches and such of Ecuador it was beautiful. I got to talk to Kristin from Zoë girl asked her if they were going to come back to south Biscayne she said she would love to but they didn't invite them again, she's very sweet.
Day 8
We went to the dump...Before we went to the dump we took up a group donation and got 780 something dollars, so each ministry group had 100 to spend. After we bought the food we had to sort out what we bought so that we could just give each parent a bag of food. It was fun I worked with Michael Passions, Mary ,and Jen M to get the oatmeal in the smaller bags. That was kind of difficult since its so small but we managed to do it, It was fun. Then we went to the dump...its so incredibly sad they are total living in the dump, all dirty nothing to eat. I had tears in my eyes a lot. we did the drama for them and 46 people there got saved! we also gave some of the toys, I brought and of course the food that we got for them. Some people on our group knew how to cut hair so some washed and cut their hair as well. We went to Mc Donald's for lunch which was weird seeing it all in Spanish.. after worship we had Zoë girl choir practice it was great. They taught us beautiful name ,and you get me. after choir practice we had some people give their testimonies.
Day 9
we went to the orphanage and played with the kids and gave them some goodies. I gave one little girl's [her name is Jennifer] the undies we got she was excited, I took a photo with her and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. We preformed the drama for them they loved it. After worship we had karaoke night that was great, I didn't sing but a lot of people did. Our team leader was talking with the "mother " at the orphanage [she takes care of 39 kids.] there was this one room where they eat but the roof was really bad and leaked. she asked another body of Christ and they didn't come back and fix it so we decided to surprise her and come back the following Monday to fix it for them. she was so excited ,it was an answer to her prayers.
Day 10
Concert outreach day. The concert with Zoë girl ,Michael passions and some other people. The concert was at the park. It was great! I met a new little friend. Some little girl came down and sat next to me, I tried to speak Spanish and found out she speaks English lol. She was adorable and must have liked me or felt comfortable with me because she sat on my lap, that was really awesome :)I had to leave though to go on stage to be in the Zoë girl choir. We sang beautiful name [the chorus] and you get me [also the chorus] they also did breathe [the worship song] so we we sang that as well. It was great. After the concert I handed out the stuff I had to give the kids [bubbles, foam airplanes and play doe] the kids loved the stuff which was great. After worship we had a Q& A with Zoë girl and Michael it was so great. It was also our meet and greet night.
Day 11
We went to the soup kitchen. it is a place that a man had founded. He felt that the lord wanted him to help the people out on the streets.. there are a lot of people that are out on the streets and selling stuff so that they can make money. So he built a place where he served meals and taught them about the bible and such. We did the drama for them and then the rest of the day we went to the equator. I was on to hemispheres at once :) We shopped at the equator too. When we got back to the hotel after worship we did more testimonies I felt the lord wanted me to tell mine so I got up and did it.
Day 12
we went back to the orphanage to help fix the roof and such. Some of the talented artist in our group made murals on tables for them. One table had Daniel and the lions, another was Jonah and the whale, another was Noah's ark and the last one had the world and we painted our one hand and put it on the table so we would have peoples hand prints around the world. While some people fixed the roof and did the tables some of us were playing with the kids. I was one that played with the kids. I got to play with the kids. There was this little girl whose name is Jennifer [same one I mentioned before when we went to the orphanage] she's 4. we were finger painting and she heard that we had the same name when she heard we had the same name she said my name is Jennifer is your name Jennifer too? It was so cute. After that she stayed by me, she kept kissing me when we left it was sweet. All the kids loved us.
Day 13
flight day. I had breakfast with Alisa and Kristin. It was cool, I wanted to have breakfast with them so I can get to know them more as people and not artists. Our flight was suppose to be at 1 but it got changed to 2 so we had to leave earlier. I was on the flight that only at 10 people. There was 2 families that came so they had to rearrange some people and book another flight and I happened to be on the 10 people flight. I arrived later and left earlier. It was sad saying good bye to everyone because we had grown to love each other, so there were lot of tears. I met a bunch of awesome people it was great. I'm sure we will keep in touch.
Day 14
my family came to pick me up and we went to the mall ate dinner and went back home. It was such an awesome awesome experience, I will never forget.
* There were a total of 319 people that came to the lord*
======================================
one thing NEVER think you are poor because you have no idea how blessed people are that live in the us. We have food ,shelter and clothing. There are a lot of placed that have nothing! So be thankful.
also always remember that if you are willing to do Lords work he will use you and make miracles.
Always remember wither you have no parents here on earth you have a father in heaven who loves you unconditionally never forget that.
lastly always try to be a blessing to others you never know who you will meet or change.

Well today's events has been write worthy so I will post..
Today is Thursday so its my work day for those that don't know. I deliver newspapers and put them in racks. you know the racks where you put 25 cents in and get the paper? well I refill them with new papers and get the money out. Anyways today we had the extra paper we get once each month, which means longer day than usually.. I'm going on a mission trip to Quito Ecuador this coming Thursday and so I wont be able to do my job so my ma will be filling in for me. So today was the day we had to both go in and I had to introduce everyone to her [certain places that pay like publix]. Well There's a place that's like a grocery store and its a gift shop kind of thing. well the guy that is usually there wasn't which was not good because I been trying to witness to him.. I know he isn't Christian because he's always asking me about my Christian shirts and asked who was on my watch [I have a Jesus watch...] He was on vacation.. So that was a bummer that would have been a good witness to share that I will be doing mission work for the lord. anyhow ,so one of my stops is publix.. Publix is the half way mark so we eat lunch.. we get to publix and do the routine I always do by myself. my ma usually drops me off at the back of publix because that's were deliver people go because we go see June, she's the lady that is in charge of stocking and making sure everything is right for the new stuff to come in...anyways so I introduce my ma to her we go to the front of the store, the lotto/costumer service desk so that we can get the money. Well Sandy is the lady that's at that desk, she usually is the one that takes care of the money for me but lately she hasn't been there ,today she was. I say my usually hi how are you and then tell her this is my mom and tell her that im going on the mission trip, she asks were and so i tell her to Quito Ecuador and that that is why my ma is filling in. She was excited that i'm going like most I talked to today...anyways she tells me that the girl over there is going on a mission trip too, to Argentina...my ma and I was saying that, that sounds cool. so I get the money and put the papers where they are to be. mom goes to bathroom and I go over to the star wars fruit snacks and get the fruit I wanted and my ma goes to pay.. well while paying sandy goes and says to the girl who is going on the Argentina trip hey this girl [meaning me] is going on a mission trip too. The girl comes out behind and was saying that ,that sounds like fun She was with her parents and so when they heard that I was going on a mission trip they asked where I was going on a mission trip. So I said Ecuador and the father said no way ! my other daughter is going to Ecuador too. So my ma says "to the one that's going this Thursday"? and he goes ya! So we were all there stunned that we happened to run into someone who was going on the same trip. So we started to all talk about the trip and how their daughter is going to get to Miami [we have a 3 day training in Miami before we head to Ecuador], the mother was saying that her daughter is going with her friend and her friends mom didn't want to drive so they are flying both of them.. My mom got confused because it didn't make since that she would be flying when she's in Florida.. So she says that they are flying from fort Myers. We tell them that we are going to go by car and they said they were too but that they are going to fly. So we continue talking and the parents say why don't you come to our house its a block away and meet my daughter. The mother also offered to take me back home because she's going on the trip with her daughter to Argentina. She is just going to stay an extra night in Miami since she will be in Miami too but just a day later so she is going to stay an extra night and pick up her daughter and friend. she offered to take me too, so I will be driving back with them:) anyways so while we are heading to their house they asked what my name was and such and they told us theirs [i'm not sure though I think the dads name is max not sure what the mothers name is..]anyways he asks me what my name was and said that I look familiar to him and he noticed my shirt. I was wearing my south Biscayne shirt from the beach baptism. I didn't recognize him and so asked me and asked how I got the shirt and if I went to the beach baptism and ask me what day, so we tell him memorial weekend. It happens to be that he recognized me from the beach baptism and he said he was in the same line as me. I personally don't remember because there was just way to many people at the baptism but I think that's awesome that he was there too and recognized me. They go to south Biscayne so that's why they keep pointing out my shirt. we follow and go to her house and I meet her :) they are a nice Christian family, they are all very sweet. They have 7 kids and they have a beautiful and huge home. Anyways so we just all talking, he tells us that he was extremely busy today and that they just decided to go to publix. It was Defiantly the lords doing because the timing was PERFECT, and I mean perfect because normally we wouldn't be there at that time and they just happened to be there the same time we were, let alone that sandy came back today and that he recognized me and went to the beach baptism. We were all defiantly suppose to meet :) I think that's so awesome how it all happened. Its weird how the lord works and its amazing at the same time :)
That's not all what happened today...When we were going to recycle the old papers I like to look in the recycling bins for mags and stuff because that's where a lot of the good stuff is.. Anyways I flipped the lid and there was TONS of old books ,encyclopedias ,baby books, novels, coloring books etc. I found star was OLD kids book from ep 1!! it has stickers in it and all. I found star wars comic book as well and come baby books about Jesus and angels that I can give to the kids in Ecuador. I took a lot of the books and things for my sis since I knew she would like lots of them.
So it was pretty cool day. Only thing that wasn't cool was the London bombings. Some people in this world are sick sick people. Lets all keep the victims , families and friends of the victims in our prayers and also those that did this that they will be caught and punished.
While we are on prayer please pray for all of us that are going on the mission trip that we will be effective and safe. Also that hurricane Dennis doesn't come near us...I don't know what's going to happen to the mission trip if the hurricane comes, might be delayed. We all have to PRAY and TRUST lord that he wont LET this hurricane come to southwest Florida. Oh and one last thing pray for my uncle he's in the hospital he's ok but not great they don't know what's wrong with him yet.. My aunt isn't good she has Alzheimer's ,she's been with it for a while and its taking a toll on my uncle, that's what prob got him in the hospital...
Anyways I will try and write one more time before I go on my mission trip next thursday to say bye :)Hope everyone is great and blessed.Talk to you all laters.take care! XOXOXO

19For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.
2 Corinthians 5:19
9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed.

9For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed. Romans 10:9-11
24You must display a new nature because you are a new person, created in God's likeness – righteous, holy, and true. 25So put away all falsehood and "tell your neighbor the truth" because we belong to each other. 26And "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil. 28If you are a thief, stop stealing. Begin using your hands for honest work, and then give generously to others in need. 29Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. 30And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. 32Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:24-32
