God is Good.
Current mood: rejuvenated

So about a 2 and a half months ago, I began this thing to host an Invisible Children Benefit Conert, and with answered prayers.. Hallelujah::

2.	an exclamation of "hallelujah!"

3.	a shout of joy, praise, or gratitude.

4.	a musical composition wholly or principally based upon the word "hallelujah."

 

On March 3rd 2007 at Washtenaw Community College, in the Student Center Building "Garrett Cafe" there will be a screening of the Movie "invisible Children" at 5:00 this event is free

On March 4th 2007 at The Shelter in Detroit, Michigan there will be the "Invisible Rock Show" seven dollar cover to raise awareness, and funds for the Invisible Children Foundation. at 7:00pm

 

This proves, hard work, and prayers do pay off...

God will honor anything that brings him Glory-- through this screening and concert, I pray that people come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I truly believe that these events will change lives.

A little spit spat update... I started School, and I love it, I still work @ Eagan Orthodontics, and I love it, Lifetime Fitness starts in February for me, and I LOVE IT! :) Some dont get my aspirations/logic in working so hard so much. In talking with my mom, it comes to this. NOT THAT THIS IS RIGHT but, I grew up with a hardworking mom that would work 4jobs if neccesary to do what she has to do to take care of Julian and I. For me, I will do whatever I have to do, to complete a task at hand ie; paying for bills, school, extra money, whatever. Thats what I grew up watching, and I folowed in those steps. I hate having the idea in my head that someone other than God; holds the stability of my emotions, relationships, or finances. I refuse to blame others for the outcomes of my life. I choose to be a hard working busy body.. not being overwhlemed, but satisfied in knowing who i am and who i am to become. so there!  All in all..mama kim, left me with this.

"A Bear Approached a frog and said, I dont get it, why do you sit on lilley pads all day?! Why don't you scratch your back against a tree? The frog replied ' I don't need to,' The bear was completely confused, and said 'Its unnattural, weird, I dont have to sit on lilley pads all day! And I do just fine'. The frog said " Scratching your back on trees if what you do.. It does me no good to do that! Its a waste of time!. Sitting on lilley pads, is what I do. You don thave to understand, you just have to respect and accept the fact that.. it's what I do."

okay.. so ive spent the past few days.. sitting trying to analyze a dream i had ..i wish Joseph was around right now to interpret... anyways..

im in a publie area..like the Silverdome or so.. and im just stansing there.. talking to my friends.. when an unidentified boy comes up to me and says "Your note came one day too late."-- This was said in a kind of.. sarcastic bitter tone. Like we both loved each other.. but i didnt tell him I loved him back in time....? The problem with this story is.. I've been single for 20years.. so its not a situation happening- or that has hapened. So.. if anyone has any ideas.. that would be lovely. (haha)

NEXT-O-

Sarah taught me to knit..its making me very upset.

Next!

Um.. so seriously..have you ever realized how selfish people are? No lie..It is pretty discusting..

self..ish.. /..s..lf..../ [sel-fish]
..adjective
1. devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
2. characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself: selfish motives.

Um.. ill be honest.. thats me.

Its funny when you spend most of your time singing worship song like "I give you every part of me, the song i sing this breath I breathe." And expect God not to do anything.. --ask and you WILL recieve..-- so Why do we get all bent outta shape? ANYways..
Since the dawn of time.. Ive said "I'm so excited for Hillsong College.." and rightfully so.. for the right reasons.. but lately.. watching other peoples dreams come alive and doors of opportunities open.. I can't be happy because SELFISHLY I am jealous that my time is not "now". What the funny thing is.. is that I am not going to Australia for me! Think about it.. I am flying 9474 miles to be a selfless-servant for God...to have no selfish ambitions, and to be surrounded by people doing the samme thing. THATS funny to me.. SO! Since Im going to do that.. i guess this is the warm up round.

Believe it or not.. you aren't on this earth..for you-- HA! emagine that..

We should be able to support and encourage those around us to achieve and chance their goals and dreams without negative attitude that our dreams aer still in the making..
(Random analogy)
Jet's pizza.. in my personal opinion is the best pizza ever.. and it is a glorious thing.. BUT when you rush the guys that make it.. you order it and thing its going to be amazing..when all in all you get your pizza and everyhting is all melty off the side of the box and the majority of the pizza is uncooked dough. Then youre upset.. and now what?.. You have yourself a pretty big let down.

Not too sure if that was a good analogy..but you get the idea.. Dont rush God.. or his plans for you. He will never give you more than you cna handle... but if you take your way of thinking and try and place it above HIS.. than he just may give you what you have been asking for..and the next thing ya know...there is too much on your plate.

Matthew 25:21 "....Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.."

If we are never content with the blessings God has given us now.. how can we expect him to give us more?

Harvey Carey--(no not harey carey) Preached at Northridge this past wednesday.. and he pretty much said.. you dont like your job? Well get a new one... BUT.. if you can't get a new one.. what do you hve to do? You have to take care of what you gotta do.. So..your life sucks.. jobless homeles..lonely--WHATEVER... what are you going to do about it?? Are you seriously going to sit there and complain about it forever? Praise God for the life you have.. the fact that you arent in a wheelchair, or blind or sick!! Selfishness causes us to forget these simple gifts Gods given.. so.

wow.. You would think i went to bible college or sometihng..

(haha) have a great day guys.. if anyone has my moms email or phone number..call her..its her Birfday!
ACharmingAffair@aol.com :)

And of course..the amazing company of my girlie girls and hunk-a- guys lookin friggin hot @ the wedding!

 

Man im lucky i have cute friends.

 

anyways.. things are going well.. i've ordered my laptop--and im pretty excited about it:) i got the white one..not the black one :( --oh well still super sweet.

um... northridge is goin really really well.. im so happy to be there.. honestly its a blessing. I am in "round 2" of trying out for the praise team and being a part of "the glory of christmas". Ive met some great people through the ridge- Jess, Leon, Melissa, Nick, Ray Ray, Cait the craptastic, Mark, Kristy Krunch, Kristy Kurts, Im thankful for these lovelies bein in my life. really.

Last night was great. Carla, Amanda, Candice, Ashley, Rachel & her guy (sorry i forgot your name) and ... tom... Went and saw the Myriad.. It was a glorious show.. honestly they have gotten sooo soo good. mm..tasty. ..Whatelse? umm. We went to starbucks with the guys got em some "land before time" vitamin C tablets cause they cant seem to stay healthy on the road- while Jason, Leon and preston played "boy time." I learned how to swing dance! Don't test me! I'm pretty freakin sweet. haha Came home to corndogs and went to bed. no lie i was exausted.

I love you guys.. have a wonderful day-- its beautiful outside. Tonight: Jacets  @ The Blind Pig + a bible study @ Concordia University... 9:30  take your pick..either one will be fabulous. :)

 

I just watched a DVD of Mary Alessi "more" -- a gospel/contemporary Christian artist (Martha Muzzini's twin sister actually).  and there is a part on it that is phenomenal it said..

when Moses was told to go to the sea and that it was going to be split open and they were to walk across dry land- he was like "tell me what to do! and ill do it..blah blah blah.."  the truth is... God just needed him to be in the right place at the right time. Moses didnt have to part the waters or pray down heaven- or even fast for 60days to find his "purpose driven life." He lived his purose, so that was his life.--anyways.. All God asked him to do was hold his staff over the waters and they would be open.. if you can sit at a piano, if you can sing, if you can take that step of faith of even beliving God will take care of you... You do what you can do--and let God handle the big stuff!. whaaa?!?! wow.. that was so good to hear.. we always wanna "help" God... when.. in all actuality--seriously.. God can handle it. We run around "What to do! what to do! what to do?!?!!?" Gods just kinda chuckling.. and saying.. "Easy slugger... I got this."   I know i know-- easier said than done. but WHY!? I'm pretty sure that this building hasn't collapsed on me.. I'm pretty sure I'm breathing right now.. if Gods got these minute details under control.. not to mention the fact that the universe is in exsistence!!!! God knows what he is doing.

 

Matthew 6:25-34

²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

²⁶"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ²⁸And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

³¹"So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

God is good.. and  he has not forgotten us. our names our on his heart and mind, day in and day out.

 

Some encrouraging songs...

"Nobody told me, the road would be easy, and I dont believe he's brought me this far to leave me."- Mary Mary

"With my whole heart I will sing Your praise, You are mighty God, Great and Glorious, King of Kings you reign victorious!"- Mary Alessi

"I know that faith is easy, when everything is going well, but will you still believe me, when your lifes a living hellAnd when all the things around you seem to quickly fade away
There's just one thing I really want to know

Will you let go? (I'll trust you, Lord)
Will you stand on My word? (I'll trust you, Lord)
Against all odds will you believe what I have said? (I'll trust You, Lord)
What seems impossible ... (I'll trust You, Lord)
Will you believe? (I'll trust You, Lord)
Every promise that I made will you receive? (Yes, I will trust You, Lord)

I know how bad it hurt you when that loved one's life came to an end
And when they had to leave you, you said you'd never love again
But will you trust that I can help you and I'll never turn away?
Will you trust Me, child, no matter, come what may?

                                                      -Donnie McClurkin "I trust You Lord"

 

Be encouraged.. I love you guys.
