Interests: well, first on the list is Jesus...the guy who created me from nothing (well...from man's side actually) and then decided I needed Him to sustain me...so...I love Him because He showed me something No one else ever has...Perfect Love. I love music...I love singing and I love listening to people sing...I love Missions and reaching others with the love of God...I have a huge soft spot for the people of Ukraine and Russia...and India...and All over the face of the earth! I want everyone to be reached with and touched deeply by the love of God. Salvation of the nations is something I long for. I love going to concerts...lots of em. And I love sleeping...and eating ice cream. I like guys and I get along really well with most of them. I like girls too...and well...I get along with Most of them too! But guys are cooler. I like to go to Worship services and pour my heart out to God...and i Don't like trials...but i am gradually learning to suffer through them in God's grace...it's NOT cool. Bu
Expertise: I can pretty much do everything awesomely. no. not really. I am told that I sing well, so I try to work on that...at least once a day. I play a small amount of piano. (even though i took for twelve yrs) I make AMAZING milkshakes....AMAZING. and I am a very very honest friend and I try to be as available as I can to anyone who is hurting and needs a friend. I am also very sensitive. I think that is an expertise thing. I guess most woman are though. =) Oh...yes...lets not forget..I am the worlds GREATEST driver ever! (HA HA)

| wow...ywam is crazy. i love it. God is here and He is teaching me soooo
much. it is nuts. Right now He is teaching me the art of being silent.
I am fasting from talking for a while...I don't know how long
exactly...so please don't ask...I have heard that a thousand times and
it has only been two days! it's crazy...
things He is teaching me:
--Take all my frustrations to God not to others...when I get upset with
people around me...my first reaction is to talk about that person
negatively...But God is showing me that it i s more than possible to
keep my mouth shut and tell Him how I feel...and FORGIVE that person
for whatever they are doing or have done...God says we are made in His
image...so shouldn't we strive to be more like Him? He would forgive
without a second thought...and He would show love inspite of how He
feels about the treatment to Himself from that person. That's something
I really need to work on.
I need to stop taking my frustrations to people and expect them to meet
my needs and make me think different...people can't do that...only God
can....in keeping mouth shut...I am giving God room to speak into my
life and give me HIS PEACE in every situation.
--Admire others the same way God admires them. I need to avoid
de-valuing people like I do so often, and take my thoughts to God
asking Him to change them to His thoughts for that person.
--God Is PATIENT with me...so I need to be patient with others! He
doesn't get mad at me for being slow and retarded...He doesn't call me
stupid or dumb for not getting it right the first time, or for not
being like HIM...instead He is longsuffering and He forgives me...and
He allows me the Grace I need to try over and over again...He is
amazing...I want to be just like that.
--He is showing me that I need to hold my TOUNGUE! I ALWAYS have
something to say-so it seems...and I have seen how selfish it just
appears to be...not to mention how selfish it really IS! It's like, I
want to be humble enough to listen to others and not talk about myself
ALL the time!
--God loves me...and wants me to love Him back...
In being obedient to Him...I am allowing Him to reveal Himself to me
and show me areas I need more of Him and less of me. In doing this-I am
loving Him...loving Him means becoming like Him-that brings Him joy!
--He has really revealed to me that I don't have to sing to Him to
worship Him -- I can just raise my hands to Him out of the sincere
worship of my heart...while everyone around is singing...I can simply
be still and rest in Jesus and His Glory...until I can sing with a pure
heart-knowing my voice is being used for Him and to His glory alone!
--Because He is Holy-He wants me to be Holy--because He wants me to be
like Him--loving Him is like Him--He is love and love is part of His
character--my actions should be the same as Jesus--my heart should line
up with God's--"Be holy, just as I am Holy"
--If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all!
-Honestly...if your words aren't going to lift others up around you and
be benificial...why say them?....God has called me to LOVE others
around me as He has loved me...well....He DIED for me...so I guess I
better start dying...to myself...that way I can start loving
OTHERS...not me! Love is...(1Cor.13) --I wrote that in my journal
today...but I changed the word love to Lydia...so it was written as
God's truth spoken directly into my life...
see-- Lydia is patient, Lydia is Kind, she does not envy or boast-she
is not arrogant or rude, she does not insist on her own way; she is not
irritable or resentful; she does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but
rejoices with the truth. Lydia bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures through every circumstance.
--I am really taking that in...slowly...as to retain it...which I won't
be able to in any short period of time! But I want to have that to look
to when I am thinking negatively and lacking love for others...and even
for myself...or when I am being prideful...which is basically all that
rolled up in one....Not Loving...selfish...prideful.
--last on my list: I don't have to always be talking in order to be
heard. Ever heard that your actions speak louder than your words?
well...I've heard it too...and it is true...If we act out our love for
others without words....it speaks volumes to them. words are powerful
and can really damage people...so I want to learn to take my words to
heart...and match them to God's heart before I say them...it's a lot
easier to just not talk--and act out Gods character...
So...basically that is what I am learning...and it is really helping me
apply all the things I have learned about humility. It is so amazing to
shut up and let God speak to me.
