Pray. Shine. Share.

It's been interesting to see God answer prayers that I've not really even made into prayers.. more like just my thoughts.

I was thinking a few weeks ago about my witness. How much do I actually talk to people about my faith, my love for Jesus, or my excitement for heaven? Not at all, really. That is, not outside of church. I was really disturbed when i really thought about my lack of excitement to share Him. 

I see many many people over the span of a usual week of work, and how many opportunities to I let  go by?? Almost every one. 

This last week, however, things have been much different. People have, out of no where, started talking to me about serious matters. My co-worker brought up the subject of world peace, a customer asked if I was a "You're going to hell if you don't accept Jesus" kind of Christian, another customer and I had a conversation about life after death, my co-worker poured out her life problems, etc etc etc! 

And on top of all of this, God has provided ways for me to answer and talk to these people. Not in ways I would think of, either! So I know it must be Him. :) 

The world is getting desperate for Jesus. No no, the world has always been desperate for Jesus..but i think the world is starting to really realize their desperation.   Depression is becoming more and more prevalent, and many are so tired of their ways, knowing ... FEELING that there is something so much bigger to live for. 

So what should we do? PRAY. Like there's no tomorrow.. cuz there might not be. 

And SHINE His love accurately. And SHARE His love constantly. 

Anyways, it's been a long day of work, I should go.

Oh-lo!

Hi world!

Been waaayy too busy to post anything new, my apologies. Life has been crazy, busy, wonderful, stressful, amazing, full of responsibilities and decisions, and all around typical of an eighteen year old.

God has been here with me. Teaching me and blessing me in so many different ways; i'm so glad to be His child! Ever thought about it like that? We're part of something that the rest of the world hungers for, what the rest of the world was MADE for - being close to Jesus!

Well, even though it looks like life only gets more insanely busy from now on, i will try my best to update you on what goes on. I'm liking the blog idea cuz it seems like most of the facebook world is too busy to take an interest in how someone's day went, or what one's been learning. This way, only the people who really actually care what goes on can know the score (and the rest of the world can be left unbothered!) ;)

Hope you all have a wonderful, safe day.

"Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Chris, to whom be glory forever and ever, amen."    ~Hebrews 13:20-21

"Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing." - Deuteronomy 8:6-9

"If" by Rudyard Kipling

IF "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!" -Rudyard Kipling

It's spring!
