Nursing!!!

Well I've figured out that the best route for me to go as far as my nursing goes is to be an LPN first. I've talked to some people and I would be able to graduate quicker and get a stable job with some benefits and then through the LPN Mobility Program at Snead, I would be able to get my ASN through all online classes. So that is the update the only thing standing in my way now is getting a higher grade on the Reading Part of the Compass test. Whats the compass test?? I have to take it because I didn't take the ACT. So I never really like grammar and all that sort of stuff in high school and now I have to take a test on all that after not doing any of it in over 4 years. Basically sucks, but I have to do it. So if ya get a second, say a prayer for me so that I can get in and get my life rollin' on!

Its Been Awhile!!

Well its been a looong time since my last blog. In fact, I have no clue when the last time I wrote one. Oh well. Any ways, things are goin pretty good. Some things have changed, but nothing major. I got a new dog! He was in a ditch on the side of the road so Susan (woman I work with) picked him up and now he's chillin with me. Brittany named him Jake after T.D. Jakes lol.. Well another thing that changed is that I'm not apart of the band "Beyond The Altar" anymore. It ended as quick as it started pretty much.

I'm now apart of the youth staff at church! I think that I'm gonna like it. Hopefully it will get me more involved with the students and it will help me in my ministry. I now also work with "The Rock" on Sunday mornings. I absolutely LOVE working with the kids there! They are sooo awesome and its awesome to see their passion for God and how they don't care what anyone else thinks. They all come running to "Worship Zone" and worship during praise and worship. Then when they listen to the message, Sis Paula or John give an altar call and they come flooding into the altar. It really is an awesome thing to witness their passion for God!

Well that gives everyone who might read this a quick update into my life. Hopefully I'll have the time to start blogging more and if I can find the chord that goes to my computer maybe I can upload some pics lol.

Deuces!

Cutting The Chord

Well I guess that you could say that on my last blog I de-railed a bit. I just let frustrations get the best of me. So I'm now gonna try to start a new leaf so to speak. I'm "cutting the chord" on some things in my life. I have allowed some things to hold me back...So now I'm starting a fresh new life. I've cut the chord from what people think about me, from fear, from past sins and anything else that has a negative effect in my life. I just want to totally surrender to God and let Him have control in my life I want Him to be the for-runner of all of my decisions. So my advise to anyone that might actually read these things is just to not be held down by anyones expectations and don't let anyone hold you back! Just cut the chord and Let Go and Let God use you in any way He may choose. Rest a sure...it will be a rockin ride!!!

Frustration....

I'm somewhat..well actually I'm really frustrated. I find it so frustrated because people in the church are so...well they just don't trust God to put it lightly. It seems that everyone goes to church to do their "churchly choir" and amens the preacher while when the rubber meets the road, they don't believe everything that the Bible says.
I felt the call into ministry. So I decided to presue that calling and attend Lee University. I went and I absolutely loved every second of it until I ran into some health issues that cause me to have to take a break. All the while I was receiving statements like "You really can't make a good living as a youth pastor" or "Money makes the world go round and you won't get it being a youth pastor" and my personal favorite "There is no security in the ministry, especially youth ministry."
All of these comments frustrated me to no end. Everybody carries their Bible to church and we've all read the God will supply all my needs scripture, but yet it seems everyone tries to make it on their own ability.
Now I have no problem with people who work hard and earn their livings. That is great and wonderful, but I get totally frustrated when so called "Christians" put doubt in the mind of people possibly wanting to presue the call into ministry. I thanks God for PW because he has had the single greatest impact on my life and I'm so glad that he presued the call into his ministry.
Well that was just me venting a lil bit.. lemme know what ya think!
Peace!

Complacency

So this is just something on my mind...that that is what bloggins' for!
So I don't know if its just me but complacency is killing the church. Does the "members" in the church not realize that there are teens that are in the world that are dying. A generation is just dying and it seems to me that there are only a few good workers that are out there. There are a ton of people who start out with good intentions and just "fizzle out". My heart goes out to those people also, but its def not far to make the teens suffer. Might not make since..but there it is

Flat Tires and Faith In Jesus

So I get off of work today, walk outside and realize that I have a flat tire. Just great. Not only is it a flat, but it is a flat on my back set of tires, which are new. Ya not to mention that I need to get some new tires on the front. Right now is not the best financial time of my life... I mean, I work at a thrift store for crying out loud. So I walk to the Dollar General and buy a can of Fix-a-flat. It airs up and I head home!
So on the way home I'm contemplating how I'm gonna pay for a new tire. My car insurance is due next month, which is like 300 dollars, and now this? I was so overwhelmed. I didn't know what to do, and still don't. But as I was on my way home, I just sighed and said "God I don't know how I'm gonna pay for this, but I know that You are in control. So I continued my drive home and I past a church sign and it read "Just Be Faithful And Let God Worry Bout The Rest"
So I guess to rap up this first post. I'm not really sure HOW I will find the money to fix this, but one thing that I do know is that God Will Provide!!

Is There Any Hope???

Is there any hope? Is there really freedom to be found? Or are we all just wondering in circles trying to find answers that do not exist? I sound a bit "anti god" there, but I'm am just wondering? Seems as of late things on the outside are going great, but on the inside things are falling into so many pieces that I can't see them ever being put back together correctly... I know what the Bible says and all bout how God will never put more temptation on us than we can bear, but I'm alot weaker in my own eyes than God's I suppose...seems as tho every time I'm faced with a temptation or trial... I always fail.

Am I all alone on this one...just being real...
