It's amazing to me that no matter how much time we put into planning our lives, even our weekends or days out to a 'T', it can all be changed or taken away from us in a split second.  There we so many fun events that I had planned on for this weekend, and before I knew it they were all gone.  Honestly, I was so mad, at my friends, myself and even God.  On Sunday, a true friend and I visited New Life Christian Fellowship to hear Jason Upton lead worship and bring the word.  At one point in his message he pointed my direction and said something that couldn't have come from anyone else but the Lord.  In that minute I realized that there is absolutely NOTHING that we can put our complete trust or dependence in other than Christ.  He is the only one that can fill and satisfy us. (Matt. 5:6) 

If you asked me to leap
Out of my boat on the crashing waves
If you ask me to go
Preach to a lost world of Jesus saves

I'll go, but I cannot go alone
'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own
But the power of Christ in me makes me strong
Makes me strong

If you ask me to run
And carry your light into foreign land
If you ask me to fight
Deliver your people from satan's hand

'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me
'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability
How refreshing to know You don't need me
How amazing to find that You want me
So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength
Untill You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me

To reach out with Your hands
To learn through Your eyes
To love with the love of a savior
To feel with Your heart
and to think with Your mind
I'd give my last breath for Your glory

there was a time when i thought that life could not get any worse.  never have i been put through so many difficult situations all at one time.  now, there is not one minute that goes by that i am not thankful that God allowed me to go through those experiences.  he had a purpose all along and that was to draw me closer to Him.  mission accomplished!!  He has answered my prayer in surrounding me with some of the most amazing people that i have ever met

good friends are far and few between. 

 i haven't had many, so this i like a dream!

this is just a piece of how great my new friends are.  by this kind of encouragement:

Hosea 6:1-3 

"Come, let us return to the LORD.
       He has torn us to pieces
       but he will heal us;
       he has injured us
       but he will bind up our wounds.

After two days he will revive us;
       on the third day he will restore us,
       that we may live in his presence.

Let us acknowledge the LORD;
       let us press on to acknowledge him.
       As surely as the sun rises,
       he will appear;
       he will come to us like the winter rains,
       like the spring rains that water the earth."
