That Crazy Pentecostal Girl

Two guys went fishing. Every time the one guy would catch something bigger then 6 inches he threw it back. He did this numerous times. Finally the other guy couldn’t take it any more he asked him why he kept throwing back those perfectly good fish. The guy replied, my fish fryer is only 6 inches long. IT’S TIME TO GET A BIGGER FISH FRYER. I went to Chicago this past week. It didn't go as planned, but it turned out better then I could have imagined. The church I went to while I was there, Bro Barron's, was just out of this world. So on fire, so phenomanal and just what I needed. I was able to go 3 times and each time I recieved something from God. He was just so evident there. I mean this church I can't even begin to desribe the power of God that is there. I could go on and on for hours. The people just didn't hold back. They worshiped and worshiped and worshiped some more with all that was withen them. The best part is this church consisted of less then 30 people a...

I pray to God daily yada yada blah blah blah lol God doesn't always answer my numerous prayers but he always listens! I went to a youth rally in Gainesville this past weekend called operation rescue. Bro Tom Gaddy preached 2 phenomenal messages, the 1st was "the Second Most Important Decision You'll Ever Make" which he talked about how important choosing the right person to marry is. The first important decision you'll make is to serve God! Saturday morning he preached a message entitled "Leave the Church" talking about taking the message of truth and salvation outside the church and witnessing to your friends, family and community. Honestly, I didn't get much from the sermons, but me being the needy kid that I am, once the altar was open, hurried down and started professing all my cares and concerns to God....and you know he didn't answer right then and there that night or morning, but I know he heard me! I know this because eventually he di...

Five years ago my family moved my two little sisters and I to Florida. I never realized how much my life would change. Not only did I start a new school, get new friends, a new church, but even my family life changed. Little by little my family fell out of church to the point where they didn't even go but maybe once a month. It was hard, not only for my walk with God, but also to watch them slowly, but surly lean to a life without God. I can't say I was perfect I fell out at one point also, but when I got back the only thing I ever prayed for was for them. I prayed God's will, I prayed that their hearts would be opened that they would get a hunger and that things would go back to the way they used to be so many years ago. 5 years I prayed this prayer and this past Sunday... *GOD ANSWERED IT* I'm not sure what got a hold of her, but whatever it was it brought my mom down to the altar and for what seemed a lifetime of praying and fasting going to waste I soon saw that...

Positive Law vs. Natural Law ~ who do you think will win ~ First lets lay out the definition ... Positive Law - law set up by a soveirn ex. King, constitution Natural Law - what is morally acceptable according to personal perception - what you think is right or wrong I was sitting in my business law class tuesday night as my profressor started discussing the "fight" between positive and natural law. He used this example... Stealing- Its against the positive law, but in some cases, according to natural law its necessary or okay to steal such as, "he was starving so he stole food from a grocery store." Regardless in the end, no matter what the excuse he will get in trouble for stealing because positive law will always triump natural law. ALWAYS! This got me thinking! I do this alot with my walk with God. Christians do this alot in their life as well. Positive law represents what God and the Bible says and natural law represents your convinctions and flesh. T...

*HAPPY NEW YEAR* I already went over in my last blog how crazy this past year has been so this post isn't going to be a reminiscent of 2010! No instead this post is going to be highlight of 2011!!!!!! I wont say this past year was a waste, but looking back I did nothing, well not enough for God's Kingdom atleast. So, I've made up in mind 2011 I will do everything I possibly can for God! No matter what that may be! I'm going to try to go on a missions trip, teach some bible studies, reach out to the younger girls at my church, and I don't know exactly, but whatever opportunity comes up I will take it in a heart beat! I'm sick of being the average christian! Just going to church, praising God, reading my bible and praying! All those things are GREAT but God calls each of us to so much more. Mark 16:15 Go ye unto the world, and preach the GOSPEL!!!!! I could look back on my life and think wow I'm such a screw up, I'm not meant to preach the Gosp...

I have a peace like no other right now, and just beginning to write this i get teary eyed! (Tears of Joy) I'm looking over this past year and I'm overwhelmed at how much I have changed. All for the best of course, but still its in sane. A year ago I was a senior in high school. I had left Pentecost for a non-denominational church, which don't get me wrong wasn't all bad, but around this time last year I realized something was missing. I had learned a lot from that church, but spiritually I was still weak. I went to Illinois for Christmas and went to my grandma's church. May I remind you this was the first time I had gone to a pentecostal church in over a year and immediately I realized what I had been missing. This may seem small and simple, but I was missing the worship. Holy Ghost filled, tongue talking, good Ole' Pentecostal worship. No holding back, not fake, completely giving every ounce of energy and passion into it. To think I didn't praise God o...

A little while ago I was stressing out like crazy about paying for college. When I finally just handed it over to God he took care of it. He blessed me with a check of $2500 from a dead aunt I never knew. Not on purpose, but because I kept forgetting to grab my check book before I walked out the door for church, I hadn't tithed. Finally I got around to it....the very next day i got a phone call....I was offered a job!!! Call it coincidence, mere chance, call it whatever you like. I'm ganna call it God blessing me!!!! Now I Can Give Tithes Every Week I'm still struggling with money because I don't get many hours, but God still provides. Just last weekend I won 1st place for my trunk and my church's Trunk-er-Treat (fall festival), which put an extra 20 bucks in my pocket. Then Wednesday my youth pastor gave me a $20 gift card to Chick-Fil-A for winning!!! HAHA Needless to say I'm blessed And I believe this is just the beginning of what God's going to do for m...
