Love It
One of my best friends just moved to DC. I can't really say anything bad about it because she applied all over the country and I prayed that she would atleast say in VA which God answered my prayer. Yes I am bummed she moved, but I am excited she is still close and God has a new adventure a head of her.
The weekend a few of us moved her in we went to National Community Church (I was really excited about because it is Mark Batterson's church and I love his books). Last Sunday, I asked her how church was and her response was "it was really good". She told me a little about it and that made me want to watch it online. I waited till it came online and I noticed it online today so I decided to download it. IT WAS GREAT!!! She was right and I want to shared it because there is a lot of great information in it. I hope you enjoy it and appreciate it and feel God when you watch it.
Faith of Framework--Heather Zemple (November 7, 2010)
"Faith does not ignore the reality of the present situation. It stares reality in the face and watches it bow in the presence of an almighty God. Psalm 46 presents us with a framework of faith in which we see the presence and power of God at work in the midst of chaos and uncertainty."

Birthday Build Up
So my birthday is almost here...and things definitely have changed over the last year. A few of them are:
I truly am blessed to be in the position of life I am in. Some times it takes a moment of stillness for me to realize that and a few remembers from friends to just "Let GO & Let GOD". How easy that is to say but for me over the last few months I really have been working on that. I am a weak and broken person who FINALLY realized that I do not have the strength, knowledge, power, or wisdom to do it by myself. I was not having a good day at work and asked a friend to pray for me and she is very upfront with me (which at the time I needed). More or less she told me to suck it up because God has it....BUT he cannot have it unless I truly give it over to him and stop fighting it.
So a few words of encouragement from the "good book/playbook":
" YOU must love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, ALL your soul, and ALL your strength. And YOU must commit your WHOLEHEARTEDLY to these commands..." Deuteronomy 6:5-6
"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of LOVE and GOOD WORKS. Let us not neglect our meeting together" Hebrews 10:24-25a
"ALL the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, and to share meals, and to prayer." Acts 2:42
"When you have LIFTED UP the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I AM he. I do NOTHING on my own but say only what the Father taught me. And the one who sent me is with me--he has not deserted me." John 8:28-29a
"No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and that is what he requires of YOU; to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
