Wednsdays...

Wednsdays always become very busy for myself but, yet they end up being my favorite day of the week. Around a year ago, my youth minister (David Mehrle) decided I should spend the day with him and the rest of the staff learning and experiencing the life of youth ministry.

Whether he gives me a task to do (organizing things) or something like brainstorming with ideas about the upcomming series and the way it should look, flow, ect...

After doing this for a year now, I have realized that although lots of the things he gives me are not that fun, I will not regret it once I get into my own ministry. I look forward to seeing what god has in store for me.

Hello everyone, today and yesterday have been completly awesome. Yesterday, my best friend preached for his first time and nailed it. He really opened my eyes to how big God actually is and how big the Universe is. On a graph, the sun can't even be seen when compared to other stars.



Around 7 months ago, I found this graph of the largest stars compared it our very large world. It really makes you wonder how big God actually is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1w8hKTJ2Co&eurl=http://planetall.blogspot.com/2008/01/video-with-largest-stars-of-universe.html&feature=player_embedded

It is so weird to think there are things God created so small that we can't even identify, yet you can't even see the sun on the graph because God made even bigger things than us and our little bubble we live in.

A little under a month ago, my youth minister had a meeting with a small group of our youth group to basicly give us a heads up that me might not attend our annual summer conference called Christ in Youth. We found out today that we are offically not going. For the last month, I have really struggled with this whole situation and have had a lot of hard feelings because I thought we should still go and have never before prayed about something like I did about this. I continued to pray that God would help me change my attitude. Nothing ever happened.... Today out of nowhere, I finally just realized there was nothing I could do about the decision made and I felt completly fine about everything. throughout this past weekend, I guess I have really opened my eyes to how blessed I really am and how much I take for granted in life.

The Beginnings

Hello everyone, I can finally say I have a blog now... I am excited to share with you my thoughts on my life and my beliefs and what ever else happens. Also, unless it turns out lame, I will post the top ten funniest/dumbest/best things that happened to me ( and most likely a friend was with me) at the end of each week. Tonight I will only do top 5 since it is my first post. I am also in the process of designing my own page and it is almost done but in the mean time, this will have to do. So here it goes...

1. We drove through McDonalds and the girl (Krystal) taking my money at the register, gave me 97 cents in all nickels (2 pennys) the last time I was there and when I pulled up the other day, she just laughed at me and I was ticked.

2. After splitting up the driving with a friend throughout the day yesterday, we got the finger twice and some other stupid stuff...(not our fault the first time.)

3. Today I found out that Hillsong is coming out with a new album and Taylor Swift is coming to town in April!

4. I heard The Fray literally a thousand times on the radio today. (Worst thing ever)

5. Went to Chick-Fil-A today for the first time in a while. (I work there and still love it. :] )

Tomorrow my best friend gets the opportunity to preach in front of our youth group for the first time. I really am excited to hear God use him like this. Starting tomorrow, I will also add in "my song of the day" (if there is one) Good night everyone!
