Give me Your eyes

There are some things that I have to shake off and say "It's not my problem" and there are others that may not be my problem but I can help with. The great thing about all this is that God's in control of everything. He's the same no matter the situation. My priorities are to put God first in my life and obey Him. Now if I only had or made more time for my priorities. It's ashame my job has to be one of them, haha. I think that's one reason why heaven's gonna be so great. We spend all this time here doing things we don't want to or have to, and my heart just wants to be serving Him and helping others. Some of my favorite things to do are spend time with the students at CSF and other areas. Give me Your eyes...I feel like I have them sometimes because I watch people around me self destruct or leaning toward it. I can't imagine what God feels to see us sin and hurt our selves when He knows we can have better for ourselves. When we get to heaven we won't be able to see it anymore, but my fear is that if I don't care now about the people who might not make it to heaven, then I won't see them in heaven. So I have to care. I have to watch and I have to do what I can to help. I'm not God, so of course I can't control or change people myself. I can pray for them. Something I've been learning lately. I really need to pray for people in my life that I know don't know Christ or aren't living their lives for Him. Wasting a life really. There are so many people on this earth that are not going to heaven. I'm sure people will hate me for saying that, but it's certain. I need to be better at letting them know they can spend eternity with God. The point in this life, the whole point is to glorify God. To serve Him, learn about Him, know Him, and tell others about Him. What am I doing if I'm not doing these things? I'm wasting my own life...and that's the last thing I want to do.

Things...

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now. Millie photographed Rebecca's wedding, that I was in - and her photography is just amazing. I feel like I should say this! Shelly Moore Band. Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful. She praises Jesus with her voice and Mike's guitar. www.shellymoore.com . You should buy her cd. Charlotte South Fellowship Where I hang out, praise Jesus, and learn more about Him.

Fish on Land

I was telling my friend Kristi the other day that we sordof feel like Fish on Land. Out of place, awkward, and not sure what we are supposed to do to survive. Our lives have been a whirlwind since...well...awhile. We left the church Adam was on staff with Easter Sunday. Since then, we have been praying and asking God what and where we are supposed to do next. Move to Charlotte, move to Wilmington, move to somewhere a church hires us. Do we look for church positions or look for secular jobs...do we look for student ministry jobs or another type of ministry? Do we sell or rent our house? What are we supposed to do? The answer to these questions are not yet decided. We have had some contacts for jobs but nothing has come through yet. We think we might want to move to Wilmington if we can find something. We pray every night asking God that we stay in His will. Knowing all along that what His will might be is that we just trust in Him and be patient. Trusting that He will provide. That H

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I
