story of my life

many people have been posting the video “Why I hate Religion, But Love Jesus” I would like to point out that in the video he stats that just because you put youre a Christian on facebook doesnt make you a Christian. What Christianity means to me is a relationship with the Lord. Putting on a religious mask on the internet and say you are a Christian but not glorify Him in what you do isnt a relationship. Yes this video made really awesome points but before reposting look into your heart and ask “why do I do the things I do and who do I do them for?” 

so today has been a good day. well i worked then watched some t.v, hung out with some friends. Now while i was hanging out with friends i noticed something. Let me paint you a picture of what went down at starbucks.  So we get there and this table of girls are there (who we know) well I say hi to one of the girls and when my friend comes over she turns her head quickly and seems to be saying something to her friend. Now she tried to come up with something and say that her phone was vibrating and honestly its a Blackberry and when they vibrate they make some sort of “bvvvvv” noise. So here is my question to y’all. How do you know if someone likes you or if they dont. In this situation I cant tell if she likes my friend or doesnt. Scientifically when someone is attracted to another person their pupils dilate and they also revile their palms indicating that they are making themselves vulnerable. What does a head turn mean? alright so let me know please.  you guys have a great night. 

this past weekend i had a retreat for leadership training class (ltc) well the Lord moved there like no other! ahh words cant describe the amazing fellowship and bonds that we made this weekend. we showed up not knowing everyone and now we are all a family and members of the Lords army together.  I cant stop thinking about what Eli said. “right now there is a senior boy (he said girl but yeah) living his life and not knowing what the lord has planned for him when he gets to sam.” like that is amazing! Before i came to this school i didnt know what i wanted to do or who i actually was. Getting here changed my life, just because people loved on me and cared about the real me. I want to do the same for an incoming freshman. I want to show him that there are people that actually care about him and that he is important to the Lord. I want them to see that they dont have to rely on the world to love them and that all the love that they need is in Christ.  So to the future members of the Lords army, I want to give you some adivce.  1: Dont be afraid to show your true self 2: The Lords love is unconditional   3: You are never alone. there are obviously more but these are just a few to get you started. hope everyone has an amazing night (:  

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY? going to disney world for my birthday one year :)

i am changing my life around. im going to live for the lord and nobody else. im not going to be someone im not just to please people. and last but not least i have been inspired to live life! [working on my own 100 things to do list:)]

so i know its a bit late but i feel like i should tell everyone about the expierence i had when i worked at Camp Blessing TX :)  I walked in not knowing anyone, of course i was scared and nervous but i knew the lord had called me to do this. The first day was amazing! I was introducing myself and had to say 5 things about myself and of course i was called out to sing a song. I did and people i did not even know cheered for me! i was amazed that they were so loving and caring even without even knowing me. Staff training was a hit! I had relationships with these people i have never seen before in my life! I had started a brotherhood with them so quickly because we were all here for one purpose, to serve our father!  I was so excited to be there and to see what the lord had in store for me! :) As the sotks [server of the king[counslers]] arrived i knew it was getting to show time!! :) i knew that the campers were coming and i knew that i was going to be stretched!!! CAMPERS ARRIVE: i was sooo excited to meet and get to know each and every camper!! luckily i was the sibling guys cabin leader with hunter and michael! that was such a great way to test the waters and be able to see how everything works! I met wonderful campers but the one that struck my heart was a camper named Lugo! He is such an amazing kid! Even though he wasnt able to speak just his smile showed how much fun he was having and how much he felt loved! His laugh at just the simplest things broke my heart because we think we have problems in our life but this kid he will never be able to explain himself verbally but he was still laughing :) he opened up my eyes to not worry about the little things and just laugh and enjoy life! When the time came for the campers to leave, i knew that i was ment to be here, that the lord had this planned all along! After the first week i knew that we were all a family and that i could turn to anyone of my brothers and sisters for advice!  The second term came within a blink of an eye! This term i was blessed with a camper. It was amazing how the lord makes things work because i knew he was putting in my heart to have a camper and i did! The day for the campers arrived i was so excited for Nicky to arrive!! When he arrived he was so excited he ran through the welcome line in a blink and was already inside!! When i met him i knew the lord had A LOT in store for me and i was going to be stretched like no other! He had an amazing time at the carnival and just being able to hang out with him was such a blessing! That night was one crazy one! Nicky didnt sleep till 3 am and wooooow he had energy!!! I knew at that moment i was going to have my hands full hah! The days went on and i was tired but thankfully my cabin leader Marcus helped me out like no other! with out his help i would have gone crazy! That week was difficult i lost sleep, i wasnt able to interact with the rest of the campers, i lost weight from chasing nicky hah. At times i felt that nicky didnt want me around. He would go with other people or listen to everyone else and not me. I felt like a failure and that I wasnt doing my job. The things that helped me keep going were my brothers and sisters! Man they knew how to encourage me!! Just a simple smile or a good job helped me push through the day! It was the last night before the campers left and the lord just broke me during worship! April took nicky from me so i can worship and BAM the lord smacked me! I went to a corner and just broke down i was tired, heart broken, and just simply giving all my problems to god. Kimberly came and prayed over me and that was just a super charge to get through the last day! When she prayed I knew for a fact that I had a family! The campers left and out of no where nicky came up to me and gave me a hug and while doing that he said thank you! My heart sank because that was something i did not expect! That week I finally knew what sacrificing yourself for others ment!  Before the new camp week started i asked to be an activities leader because i was able to interact with everyone and would be able to gain my health! The campers arrived and i loved it!! They were all new campers!!! well some ha! I loved being an activity leader! I was able to spend the time talking to everyone!!! I spent a lot of my time in M3[the wheel chair cabin] Those campers were awesome!!!! James, Will, Ryan were the most awesome kids ever!!! James his laugh was so incredible! The smallest things made him laugh!! That showed me to enjoy the little things and not worry about the problems of the rest of the world!!!!  Will man this guy was so smart! He understood everything and it amazed me!! he was sooo happy to be there! hah he looooved that blue ball!! and Ryan amazing guy he didnt communicate much but just in his face i could tell that camp was his favorite place to be! That week was amazing!! A camper that i will never forget is Melba oh my she was such a sweetheart!! She was so loving to everyone and loved being at that camp!! her loss of hearing didnt stop her at all! she would put her hands on Ann’s throat to hear the vibrations when she is singing and at the same time she would put her other hand on the guitar to feel the vibrations from that too. That week i was struggling with sickness but my brothers and sisters were going throught the same thing and we all just kicked it into overdrive and ended the week with a bang!!  The last week! wow it came in a flash and we were all ready!! The lord put in me that i should be a cabin leader but when i ended up having the role of a counsler my heart dropped and i knew that the lord didnt want me in that role. I spoke up and Eric was so humble enough to switch with me and i thank him for that! That week was amazing!!!!!!! I was able to again interact with my cabin and other campers! The cabin was amazing!! i had amazing campers and amazing sotks!! :) I learned that week how to minister and how to show gods love to other people. That week was coming to an end quickly and I knew that it was time to take everything that i learned and use them in the world and shine the light wherever i am! The last cross carry was amazing I felt the lord walking with us as we worshiped and loved him! The last night with the staff was amazing!! The bonds that we formed are so unreal and i am beyond blessed to have everyone of you guys in my life!! you guys helped me so much you wouldnt understand! I thank you for talking to me and even calling me out at EVERY MEAL bc with that i wouldnt have been able to actually get to know everyone! you guys are my family and i really do love every single one of y’all! I miss you guys like crazy but expect me stopping by throughout the year!! hahah!!  Camp Blessing is an amazing place! This camp showed me what full sacrifice is and how to actually love! I saw love through gods eyes and he broke me for every single person that walked through the front doors! I loved it and I cannot wait until the summer comes so we can be reunited!!!
