countdown..

so its countdown time.. only 47 days left of school! thats 7 weeks! I am so happy! I can't wait for the summer, even though im not traveling anywhere, and although i have to work all sumer, i am so hapy that its finally here. no more homework, teachers (God knows i love them..), stress of school... cause it is finally summer!

Lately, i have been in a place of thankfulness and peace with God. I've been thanking Him for all the awesome stuff thats been happening lately, and i've found peace in Him, by just letting Him do whatever He wants.. its my resting place! I have also been able to feel more free in my relationship with him, because a box has been removed, and i no longer care what people think of me. This is me.. except it.

It's been on my heart lately, well i think its what God has been trying to show me for the past while is worship.. i dont know if it makes sense... but i think He's calling me to worship.. i dont know in what form.. i mean art, dance, or singing, or petry or whatever, but its what i feel like he's been calling me to. Im so excited about it too!

Anywyas i have volleyball, and i should get ready for it.. by the way, i was out tanning today, and man am i ever so burnt!! volleyball will just be so much fun...lol, so diving for sure.
love yeah

I love this song, and thought itd be good for summer.. its by george michael, down load it!!

Wake me Up before you go-go
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
When your loving startsA jitterbug into my brain
It goes a bang-bang
Till my feet do the same
But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
You left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming but I should have been with you instead
Chorus:Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-goI
don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cos I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cos you're my ladyI'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing
Everything will be alright
Chorus:Cuddle up baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there but it's warm in bed
They can dance
We'll stay at home instead

Extreme Love

Jackie Hamill and Juliet

Philippines

1992

The service was over. Jackie Hamill, a young Australian prison evangelist, was excited about what God was doing. She felt the love of Jesus reach out to these inmates, Jackie and fourteen members of her church had traveled to te Philippines to minister in a military prison there, They were concerned for the lost ouls of the inmates, many of whom were Communist guerrillas in prison for murder.

Suddenly, the quiet was broken by the sounds of fighting and gunshots. The inmates were rioting and had overpowered the guards, seizing their guns and ammunition to make an escape.

The evangelists were taken hostage and geld for three days. During this time, Jackie and one other girl were raped repeatedly. But even in the moment wen she suffered the greatest shame, Jackie prayed for her captors and spoke to them about God's love. Her face did not show panic, revulsion, or hatred, but glowed with the brightness of God's light.

Dring her imprisonment, she led the team in singing God's praises and presented the Gospel to her captors. One of the rioting inmates threw down his gun and recieved Jesus as his Savior.

On the third day, there was a shoot-out between the prisoners and soldiers who came to stop the riot. Jackie and Juliet, a 16-year old, were shot. Even as Jackie lay dying, she raised her hand to God, praying for the rioting inmates and for the soldiers. She died while singing to God.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Paul the Apostle

Martyered in the Rome, 65 A.D

(Romans 5:7,8)

Lately i have been reading Jesus Freak, and its been heart breaking. I'll read one story, and see all this awesome faith, and but it will be hunbling, yet heart breaking, The real question is: Would that be me in their situation?

I've been struggling with it, yet i have come to a decision, if i have decided to live a life completely for a God who loves me and loved me enough to give His only son, then this is the least i can do. A gun to my head, and i am asked the question: "Do you believe in God?", my response is going to be yes, with all my heart, soul and mind. Because i love him, and He loves me!

Its an amazing and eye opener book to read.. it just brng me to tears..

to homework i go
