I was a little hesitant this week about going to this function my church held! It didn't really sound appealing and it was $25 that I didn't really feel like spending on something I wasn't sure about, but I was talked into and then my church offered to pay for everyones way so I went and I am soooooo glad I did!
It was a little awkward at first, but by the end it was one of the best services I've ever been to!
I mean it wasn't a jumping around, shouting and getting crazy service. It was chill, quite, but very informational.
It was broken up into 6 speakers each of which talked on a different subject. Dreams, Roots, Exposition, Sexuality, Money, and Them! The first subject made me start thinking of when I was little and how I thought I was ganna be a missionary to Australia, and how now that looks just crazy, but what if it wasn't? The next one Roots, the speaker Jody Wells for one is awesome second it made me want to read the bible more, fast more, and do whatever I can to make my roots stronger and more powerful! Especially in doctrine, I just want to know MORE!
The 3rd speaker Dr. Littles spoke on Exposition... Sometimes you just have to get over your past, take yourself out of the picture and do God's will! After he spoke God just fell down in the place and I couldn't stop crying and worshipping God! My biggest fear is that I get in the way of the real reason Im here and thats just to be God's servant, but the best way to avoid that is by taking my self out completely. My ministry isn't really my ministry at but rather God's!!!!!!!
Saturday morning was the next topic, which was sexuality. It was discussed through a panel that answered question the congregation texted in. A lot of questions about marriage and finding that special someone were answered. Also dating and being single. That always makes you think. The next subject was money ahhhhh Not even a subject I wanna talk about lol! The last one was called THEM...which basically talked about us in the world! We are always the odd ball out as christians, and we want to witness, but don't wanna shove things in people's face. There is nothing wrong with going to college, getting an education and putting career as a priority, but there is something wrong when it become your first priority.
Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God!!!!!
Doing what you do on a regular basis, but doing it for God's glory not your own. Thats my motto for now on. I feel called ministry and regardless of what that ministry is and whether I'm fulfilling it or not I can fulfill it in a sense, in such a way that even if Im not doing exactly what I feel like Im called to do right this very minute I can always being doing something, anything for His kingdom. Steps, thats all they really are, steps I have to take in becoming the person God has called me to be!!!
This weekend was not what I intended it to be, but I got word, conformation, and a peace that God's will, will be done just got to do my part now, as much as I will then!!! AMEN<3
With Love,

Allyson, I am so proud of the woman you have become and are becoming everyday, I feel I don't tell you that enough! Your passion is sincere and from the heart and your calling is undeniable. I know I haven't been the best example to you lately but I still pray for you every night and I know God still hears my prayers. Just know that whatever your calling is, dad and I believe in whatever God wants for your life. Thank you for making us proud. Love you so much, mom
