Strong Tower

Movies can be very misleading.... Sometimes I see the preview and I know NOTHING about the movie. Other times I see the preview and I think the story will be one thing and I watch the movie and it turns out to be something TOTALLY different and disturbing!! WHA?!?!
So.... word to the wise- be VERY CAREFUL with movies you watch... I'm just gonna leave it at that...

Well I leave for El Salvador in 2- count 'em TWO- days!!! We had our last El Salvador Sunday school today and Dave Bauchspiess talked about some last minute stuff. He also had us write down 5 specific goals we have for this trip. He wanted us to write down things that maybe we missed out on during our other missions trips and regret not doing or anything really. Dave said that if we expect God to do things, then they will happen! I know other years that I've gone I did expect God to do miracles in front of us but then there was that twinge of doubt and I know now that even a little doubt can get in the way of God doing amazing things!! This year my 5 Goals are:
1. Be used by God to heal the sick
2. Have a good attitude when it gets hot! :]
3. Share my testimony
4. Step up and help with anything/ take initiative
5. Put the team before me:
    -Safety
    -Opportunities

I'm full of Great Expectations (not the movie!) :]

Tomorrow we are getting together with our whole team at my church in Sioux Falls @ 3 and then we leave on Tuesday at 5 am!! Wowza! That's gonna be fun stuff! :]
Please be praying for my team that the Holy Spirit will be working through us giving us words to speak and moving through us. Also that we have perfect health and safety the whole time and that we will have fun through everything as we glorify God!
We come home July 21st! Talk to you then!

Keep'n It Real

My life is strangely stressful these days...
Do I have a job? No.
Am I working on a new project or volunteering every spare minute to something? No.
Maybe I just find things to keep me busy and think about every little thing I have to do and that makes me stressed... I don't know...
At the beginning of the summer I was gonna get a job but... that didn't happen and then I was off to the Black Hills for 3 weeks of camp! Those weeks really were The Greatest Week[s] of the Summer! :] I'm so glad I got to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of the youth in South Dakota! And I got to meet some pretty amazing people :]
I came home and now have 4 days before I leave for my missions trip to El Salvador for 10 days! This will be my 3rd year going except this time I'm going as a leader! I'm a little nervous but I know that nervous feeling will help me be the best example and leader I can be. I'm super excited to see what God is going to do during this trip and how He will extend those experiences past the trip!
Though I don't have my days packed full with stuff to do I do have a list of things I need to get done:
*Clean my room
*Work on my online class
*Shop for El Salvador stuff
*Read a book (for fun)
*Do devotions
*Read a leadership book (for school)
*Catch up on some shows (yes this is a necessity because after I watch them I can delete them off DVR and make room for more shows! haha)
*Go on facebook, blog, check email, twitter (Ya gotta stay connected! :])
*Journal
*EAT! (3 square meals a day!) :]
So much to do, so little time, and no desire to do most of it!
And if you aren't watching it already everyone should join me in watching the Harry Potter weekend movie marathon! It started tonight and goes through Sunday I believe. Right now I'm watching The Sorcerer's Stone! Thank you DVR! :]
Well the last thing on my list is to go to bed... So goodnight Bloggers! Sleep tight and be sure to listen to God's voice....

Down In Flames

It was a pretty good day.... Nothin too special except it was my last piano lesson!!! I still have like two more guitar lessons but at least I don't have to worry about Thursdays! Its been fun Pam May! :]
Tonight I went to Tracy Paino's house to have supper with him, his wife, and some other NCU students. The food was really good (cheesecake!) but it was also just a funny time with all of them! I had no idea Tracy and Debby were SOO funny! :] If you ever have a chance to hang out with them for any reason- take it! It'll make your day!
We started telling stories and they started off about fire and then they went all over the place. I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Oh... good times....
Well tomorrow I am using one of my 7 skips in Algebra that I have left and sleeping in and then we don't have BSM. Then I'm going to Concordia College to see some of my family and this ceremony thing for my Grandma setting up a scholarship there. This weekend will hopefully be pretty fun and chill but I also have to do some homework...
God, please help me get a lot accomplished and help me to keep my ears pealed to what you are telling me. I love you! :]

One Life to Love

Today was amazing! God is just so awesome! :]
Lately I've really been understanding our floor theme "Being faithful in the little things." I don't know why I've never really thought about it before but it really makes sense now.
Luke 16:10 "Whoever can be trusted with the very little can also be trusted with much..."
Tonight at youth group was so powerful and I know its not a place that I should be going to get filled up but I should be ministering to the youth but I got filled up along with them tonight!
We were worshipping up front and Jordan (the youth pastor) had leaders come and pray for some youth who came up. It was only my second time being there so I didn't feel like I should go up to pray for them so I just stayed where I was standing. After a little bit I felt like God was telling me to pray for the girl next to me. I've never seen her before or know who she is but I just felt really strongly that I was supposed to pray for her. I kept ignoring it but my heart started feeling heavy and my stomach hurt. I told God, "After this song I will" but the song would change and I wouldn't. I remembered the verse Luke 16:10 and decided that I needed to be faithful with this small task of praying for someone. So I asked her if I could pray for her, she said yes and I prayed a simple prayer asking God to reveal His love to her and to surround her with friends who will encourage her in her walk with God and to give her confidence and courage to stand for Him. After I was done she just said "Thank you" and we kept on worshipping. When worship was done I introduced myself and we went to go sit down our separate ways. She had told me she had been going to this youth group for a while but out of the corner of my eye I saw her sitting in the row behind me all by herself. My heart just broke for her. I don't know what her life is like at home or school but I just felt burdened for her. After youth I told her goodbye and that I hoped she'd have a good week at school and I'll see her next week hopefully. I don't know if she needed encouragement or if she needs a friend but God really worked in me by just being obedient and praying for someone.
So I challenge you to be faithful in the little. It might change someones life in a BIG way or it may just change your own life!
Later on in the service Jordan had an alter call. First we closed our eyes and he had us raise our hands if we needed to ask God into our life. One person raised their hand and Jordan asked that person to be brave and come to the front. He encouraged the person by saying that we wouldn't stare or point but instead we would rejoice for that person accepting God into their life. Still no one came... Then a high school boy in the youth group just blurted out "Come on, don't be afraid!" He stood up and looked at the youth group and encouraged the person to go to the front saying that this is a big deal and that he would go up with that person so they won't have to be alone. Then a small high school girl stood up and walked to the front joined by the boy. I started crying... This kid was just brave and stood up and encouraged his fellow believer. Would you be willing to do that? To me that is a huge leap and I don't think I could have done that. I will always remember that kid and what he did. He has challenged me to be a better support system for those around me and to be passionate about God!
Who knows maybe God will tell me to do something like that some time and I will need to listen...

When Will My Life Begin

These past few days have been stressful and busy but the more I get done, the less I feel stressed and God is seriously helping me control my stress and helping me to focus on the stuff I need to get done. THANKS GOD! :]
Today I studied for Sys. Theo., took a nap (!) and studied some more and now I'm finally going to bed to dream about the 5th through the 10th statements of faith.... After tomorrow I'll have one less thing to worry about but then I have to work on my SAY presentation which I have to perform in a week and then I'll have to worry about my BSM extra credit and get that in on time and then I'll have to worry about all of my finals- BSM final paper, theater production, SAY final, and Sys. Theo. final.... Let's just say I'm looking forward to the beginning of the part of my life where I'm not cramming for tests or studying really hard and can just hang out with friends, get a job, go to camp, and El Salvador!
When will THAT life begin?!?
Some good news... I figured out that I wouldn't have to go to Algebra or BSM any more this year because I have plenty of skips left!! I mean I am still gonna go to class but I wouldn't have to! :] haha
I guess God is just continuing to show me to persevere to the end because even though I may go through hard times with other people, or stressful times because of school, those things make me stronger and makes me have hope for the future! With God I can get through ANYTHING!!
As the end of the year comes and as the summer begins I just need to always be listening to God...

Hold My Heart

Church this morning! :] I love riding the bus with my friends, going to Crossroads, getting breakfast, and having a great service of worship and preaching.
I've been stressed and when I'm stressed I have to make lists. All of the things fit on about 2 big sticky notes. Stuff I got done today- devotions, organize my shelves, clean my area by my closet (putting away clothes), practiced guitar, put pictures on facebook, dishes, vacuuming, filled out some note cards to study for Sys. Theo. (I got tired and needed to go to bed), met with my Theater group, and now I'm pooped out and that's not even half of the things on my list!! I still have to work on my SAY project, other stuff for that class, BSM extra credit and the final paper, 4 certifications in Algebra, and I think some other stuff.... oofta! :] But I don't have classes after lunch tomorrow so I'm hoping to get stuff done then and I don't have guitar lessons Tuesday so I can do some stuff then!
I'm just totally wiped and don't even know what else to say... except that I really want a tattoo. haha :]
Okay.... I need to go to bed.
God, please help me even in these stressful and busy times to be quiet and listen to what you are calling me to do and what next step I need to take. Amen and goodnight! :]

Take Me

More training today!! Super fun to get together with all the DLs and learn something from those who have been where we will be next year! :]
After training all day (9:30 to 3) I went to Oakdale, Minnesota with Casey to work on our youth observation project. We had to interview some high school girls for Sociology of American Youth. That went pretty well and I feel a little better about that. We got done at about 6 but didn't get food so we went to Taco Bell to get some grub and then got back to school at like 7. We had been planning since Wednesday to watch the movie Tangled in our room so we watched that tonight and a lot of girls came in our room. It was fun! Thank you everyone for not talking during the movie! You are welcome back into our room for another movie some time. :]
Now I'm tired, stressed cuz I have a BUTT LOAD of stuff to do before finals, and just want to sleep in! Is that too much to ask for?!? But I know the stress is my own fault for putting everything off til the last minute now I think I need to take a break from facebook for a while so I can finish EVERYTHING!! I know it sounds extreme but thats the only way I'll get it all done in time I'm pretty sure.... GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH!! He has already helped me a bunch with my stress! Usually when I'm stressed I get super moody but I've been pretty chill and God has given me patience. Patience... that's a word I haven't comprehended in a while.... Wow thanks God!
I know for next year I will need a lot of patience, perseverance, and energy! I hope God helps me to manage my time between school, my floor, my friends, and my God time. I love all of these things so much and I'm just scared I'll get warn out and not be able to be there for everyone and help myself out too. But I find hope and strength in God so it'll all be okay. I'm already praying for my floor next year and that God will open their hearts and that our floor will be united and we will be REALLY close to our brother/sister floors because that is something I missed out on this year.
God is still teaching me sooo many things and I just love Him so much! I'm still listening for God to tell me the next step...

(Take Me by Hawk Nelson)

Start of Something New

Do you ever think that all of the people around you seem so "holy" and you wonder what the heck your doin there? I seriously think this a lot at NCU. I'll be sitting in BSM or something and the teacher will ask a question about something and I won't have ANY idea and these people know so much about it! I read the Bible! Why don't I know this stuff?!?
Well today we had classes and then I took a little nap but it wasn't long cuz I had to go to leadership training at 4 and got done at 10. It was all so much fun! My floor council and my wing council are already close and we have so many ideas and such for  next year. We are just expecting to be so much closer and to truly be brothers and sisters and I think that's so great! God is going to do some great things!
We have training/team building stuff tomorrow all day and then we'll be done but I know I will still hang out with my floor and wing councils. :] Oh btw the theme for next year is Resonance so it's like us being good examples of Christ and everyone else being in tune with us.
We only have 13 days of actual classes left and then we have about 25 days total. It's SOOO crazy! :] I'm super excited to go home and help out with the youth group, get a job, and go to El Salvador on the missions trip! :]
God is definitely teaching me and showing me some great things for next year and how to be a great leader and such. I think Lyda and I will be great at helping our girls along and doing Life Cores and everything else that we have to do. I just really want to know our room situations and then I want summer (cuz its fun and who doesn't like summer?!?) and then I want next fall to come so I can be a leader!! Next year I will have to especially listen to God and what he's telling and teaching me...

Walkin On Sunshine

Today was fun and busy!
The weather was perfect so me and some 5North girls had a picnic and hung out @ Minnehaha  Park! We took a ton of pictures (that can be seen on facebook!) and explored!
When we got back I had to go to the Minnesota District Council to help out for Sociology of American Youth hours. I went with Casey and I saw some awesome people there! I got to see Beth Nelson walk across the stage and I saw and talked to some Heartland Master's Commission students! "Don't go in the GREEN ROOM!!" haha It was pretty fun! :]
Then I got back and went to a Leadership Team building thing. We played some fun games and got to know A LOT of people! Now I'm pooped but had a BUNCH of fun!!
I'm really looking forward to next year even more because of the great community that theres gonna be and everyone is so nice and great! :] I'm SUPER DUPER EXCITED! haha
Tomorrow is FRIDAY "Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" (shout out to Rebecca Black!) haha
I'm gonna be super tired cuz I'm up so late but its okay cuz then its the weekend... except I won't be able to sleep in at all because of leadership but it's all good! haha
I hope God continues to teach me a BUNCH of stuff and I hope that I keep quiet and listening to Him!

Lifes So Sweet in the SD....

Wednesday! Half way through the week and the best part is... WE DON'T HAVE CLASSES TOMORROW!! Except for piano lessons... but I might have to miss them :( because I am going on a picnic with 5 North ladies tomorrow!! I hate missing lessons though especially since I only have 2 left! But this is critical bonding time with my floor before we part and go our separate ways next year.... Rachelle tells me I'm being a little over dramatic about not seeing each other next year... haha Now I just say stuff like "We'll never hang out next year!" just to get a reaction out of her. haha it works every time! :]
The weather was SOOO nice today! I just wanted to sit outside the whole day!
Sadly I didn't get to go to youth group tonight because our ride bailed (what's new?) but maybe next week?!? IDK.... :(
I also decided today who I am going to room with next year! I'm going to room with my friend Beth who will be a freshmen here next year! I'm super excited to know who my roommate is going to be and now I just need to be patient and wait to find out what room specifically I'm going to be in! YIKES! :]
Tonight at Praise Gathering (PG) God just kept revealing different things to me about what I need to work on in my life and such and here's some stuff that I wrote down (I had to write it down otherwise I would forget- bad memory)...
*With EVERYTHING I will give God glory and praise! No matter if I am joyful or sorrowful, I will give God the glory!
*I GIVE GOD CONTROL of my life!! Things go WAY better when He is in control!
*Hebrews 12:11 which talks about discipline being a pain at first but it turns into righteousness and peace if practiced for long. Then God showed me some personal things that I needed to be disciplined with.
*Also this journey with God is just taking each step one at a time and not worrying about what's gonna happen down the road, 5 weeks or 5 months from now, but what God is calling me to for the next step.
Being quiet and listening to God helps me find that next step...

Let's Get It Started

Today was the start of some fun days!
I slept in through my first class this morning cuz I could NOT fall asleep last night for the life of me. But I woke myself up in time to go to S.A.Y. I found out I missed a quiz that was online and that my group is making no progress on the group observation project. So I may or may not fail that class... that would stink cuz it's pretty much my favorite! So then Rachelle and I went to Entry Chapel today to hear our brother Jake Jensen speak (good job btw!). Then I met my future RA and co DL for lunch! We ended up talking for 3 hours! It was so much fun to just get to know those girls a little more! And I keep reminding myself to keep my mind open about things. :]  Next year is gonna be the bomb and we were all saying how we wish we could just start next fall NOW! :]
Because I was talking with them I had to cancel my guitar lesson for today and then he told me that we're not having lessons next week so I won't have it for another 2 weeks! Oops! But then I'll have time to practice (hopefully).
The rest of the evening I've been relaxing and trying not to think about the rest of the week because it's going to be stressful and I have so much to do from now til the end of the year but I have NO motivation to do any of it and so I'm praying that God will seriously help me become motivated and finish all of my projects to the best of my ability!
I watched the movie Taking 5 tonight to end the night (LOVE that movie!).
I guess today I just reminded myself to keep an open mind and I definitely need to seek God daily because without Him I am nothing and I seriously can't survive! This world gets too stressful and hard on me but God refills me. He's the best! :]
Now I'm GOING TO BED and it's only 11! Man I am SOO excited! Goodnight!

Ridin' Solo

Amongst the usual events of Monday (math, BSM, chapel, lunch) I took a 2 1/2 hour nap and then 8 of us from my floor went to MOA to ride rides at Nickelodeon Universe! We had free all day wristbands so we went for like 4 hours and then came back! I screamed A LOT while we were there and I'm so glad my friends laughed instead of being annoyed. They are the best! :] It was fun to hang out with all those girls from 5North! I LOVE YOU ALL! I'm seriously so blessed to have been on this floor my freshmen year and I will miss everyone SO MUCH! But 3South is gonna dominate next year. :]
Ya know the phrase "Out of sight, out of mind?" It totally applies to me! It might be because I have a horrible memory so if its not in front of me written down or in a picture I totally forget! Well thats how it is with this certain guy.... I get him out of my head and everythings goin great but then I see him and all those feelings come back. Dumb right? YES! So I had to check myself and really focus on God. I've had problems with guys before but God had told me that He loves me the most out of ANYONE and will always be there for me and never change. How much more could a girl ask for, seriously? I know that at this point in my life I need to be focusing on God and not my relationship with some boy so I regave it all to God and now I just keep praying that God will reveal to me when the time is right to be in a relationship and I know He has the right timing and the right person tucked away waiting. :] I'm super excited about my future especially with how I know I'm going to grow with God because I will always keep quiet and listen to God...

‎"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned."- Song of Solomon 8:6-7

Set The World On Fire

I went to Crossroads church this morning which makes me happy because I haven't been there for like 3 or 4 weeks because of different things. The sermon was about The Purpose and it's going to be a five week series about The Journey of Jesus Christ.
When we got back from church and after we ate lunch, we desperately needed to do the dishes so Rachelle and I teamed up and worked on the dishes in the bathroom (its a struggle to wash dishes in those bathroom sinks, let me tell you!). We were almost done and Rachelle was carrying some dishes back to the room but had grabbed too many and dropped the ONLY glass thing she was holding (isn't that how it always goes?) and it shattered EVERYWHERE! So we cleaned it all up but some glass cut me and I now have a small cut on my little pinky on my right hand... Seriously it's tiny but that thing would not stop bleeding! So after I would wipe up the glass, I would have to go back and wipe up my blood! ooh what an interesting time... :]
I watched some more episodes of LA ink (I'm pretty much addicted) and then took a 40 minute nap before gettin up, eatin a little and goin to The Basement to work again. Jamie came with me and we watched She's The Man while we put together some puzzles and I actually made my first FANTASTIC tasting smoothie! Thanks Janel for teaching me! :]
Rachelle came a little later and I had another first- using the credit card machine (which is actually really confusing cuz it's like all done on the computer).
I got a little bored down there so I went on stumbleupon.com (so entertaining and a great way to ignore homework if facebook isn't working for ya). I came across this girls blog post that I thought was super cute! Here's the link and you should definitely go check it out! themonicabird.com/post/3273155431/date-a-girl-who-reads-date-a-girl-who-spends-her
We were watching TV down there too and there were commercials with some good food on there and we all got a sudden craving for wings and fries! So we decided to go to Applebees! We got some other girls to come with us and were about to walk to the one that's close to our campus but then we got some bad news that it was closed! We checked online and sure enough it was closed :( But that was NOT going to stop us so we checked for another close one and found out we could take the bus! After some bumps in the roads (and some AMAZING rain), we FINALLY got to Applebees with 4 minutes left to order until the kitchen would close! We ordered wings and fries and ate up!
Now I'm sitting in my room dreading having to wake up tomorrow because I have a math test (bleh!). But I'm super excited for all the rest of the days because we have LEADERSHIP training! I'm also meeting with my RA on Tuesday to get to know each other one on one! :]
Today I was confirmed about my call to be majoring in youth ministries. Everyone in my family is a pastor and I did NOT want that for myself! I didn't want to be like the rest of my family but even more- I was afraid. I was afraid that if I preached to youth and told them something wrong then I would lead them all to hell. Not that I would do it on purpose but that I just would have gotten the facts wrong and they would miss out on God's amazing kingdom because of me! I guess I still worry about this a little but I've come to realize that God will give me the words to speak. As long as I'm seeking Him and wanting to do right by Him, then He will give me the right and true words to speak to my youth group. I'm super excited to be a leader of a youth group and a pastor. The responsibility is a little scary but I know with God by my side I won't falter. I especially need to keep my ears open to what God is telling me and my heart to do...

Bust Your Windows

Saturday. A day meant for sleepin in, relaxing, and doing what YOU want to do!
I only slept in til 10 but then I had some quiet time to myself before Rachelle woke up. I ended up reading a book I wanted to read and not some text book for class! I watched LA ink on Netflix and got TOTALLY inspired to get some tattoos (ones that are worthwhile of course!). And Rachelle and I worked out to Jillian Michaels dvd, which was the death of me and I almost passed out a few times (not good). Then we had some supper in the caf and went to the basement where I volunteer at the coffee shop. We watched Up but there were (surprisingly) a lot of people down there and they were all talking and I had to do a certification for Algebra so I didn't really get to watch it but its all good. After leaving, we grabbed Jamie and her movies on our way up to our room and watched Year One. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone but it was pretty funny! :] Thanks Jamie!
I'm more than pooped out right now and ready to fall into a deep sleep until I wake up to go to church tomorrow!!
This coming week we are having leadership training at school and I think it'll be fun but I'm also really nervous... What if our bro/sis floors don't get along, what if it's awkward, and what if I close up and become shy like I usually do when I first meet people? Ugh! Really I'm a bubbly, outgoing person but I've noticed that when others around me are more outgoing I tend to be.... not so outgoing. What is that? There must be some psychological reason for it but I don't know what it is...
God has taught me today to just be open to new things. Whether it's because of a new roommate, or wing council, or whatever else might come, I need to just try it and let God use me in those situations that might seem scary to me at first. I put my trust in God and I know he will direct my path. I love that he's always there for me and telling me new things!
I just need to be quiet and keep listening for God in those chaotic times...

Sleepyhead

After I blogged yesterday a bunch of stuff happened. Where to start...
I practiced for piano and was actually prepared for this week (surprising I know!) and had a great lesson. As I was leaving she told me I only have two more lessons! Whoo hoo! I mean I love piano lessons because I can catch on pretty quick but I just feel bad cuz I never have time to practice... so I'm kinda glad its almost over. But guitar lessons... oofta.... I probably have a bunch of those left and to say I'm struggling is an understatement... :( Anyways getting back to my day...
Rachelle, Briana and I went to the Band Box which is a great little diner by my school. I've seen it sittin there just begging people to come in and try it out (they even changed hours to have it open later- their gettin desperate). It was FABULOUS! I had a cheeseburger, fries, and Mtn Dew and let me tell you.... the hamburger buns are soft and the fries- though they look questionable- are superb! I even liked the throwback Mtn Dew that I haven't liked before.
We got done and came back and discovered that the DL placement list was up! I RAN down the stairs, looked and found out that I got DL on 3 South! And my co DL is Lyda and RA is Kelsey! I was super pumped when I saw that! :] I thought we were going to find out on Monday about our bro/sis floor but we found out tonight!! AAAH! So my bro floor is Carlson 5 East and my sis floor is Philips 1 West! I'm excited to see how next year will pan out and how it works with everyone. :]
After finding out about floors I checked out the rooms and applied for housing! I was hoping for a single because it would give me better one on one time with the girls on my floor but there aren't any so I'm probably gonna be in a double... they're kinda small... but it'll all work out because I know God has great  plans for next year!
I'm goin to my old high school's prom! HOLLA!! :] One of my friends asked me and I really wanna go dance it up with my friends. I know... it sounds lame... but I haven't gone to a dance since last prom and I LOVE dancing with my friends and my other friend, that's a freshmen in college, is going too! haha yeah... we do sound lame... but that's okay I think it'll be fun!
One more thing...
Today I took a nap! We didn't have BSM so I just took a 2 1/2 hour nap! It was AWESOME! :]
Now I'm excited for the weekend and ready to SLEEP IN tomorrow!! :]
I'll keep ya posted as I continue to listen as God guides me each step of the way!

Go Easy On Me

Hey guys. This is my first blog ever... Unless you count like xanga and all of those old ones that I haven't even checked in probably 6 years. I usually journal and stuff like that but I know some of my friends who blog and I love the idea of it. So here I go- putting down all my thoughts from the day, from God, about my life, and whatever might sneak up on me.
First my blog page is called Quiet My Heart. It took me a while to think of a good name that I would want and here it is! It's actually a song by Brooke Barrettsmith. I do like the song but I more just like those words because that's what I've learned that I need to do. I need to be quiet and quiet my heart and listen to what God is telling me to do and what he is telling me that I am to him. I have learned so much from God and I continue to learn so much more every day. That's mainly what I'll be writing about here is all of the things God is teaching me.
Enjoy, leave comments and hopefully you don't get too bored hearin what's goin on as I quiet my heart and listen to God.
