So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Christians often mistake faith as convincing themselves that there is a
God. That is not how faith works. We use faith in everyday life, human
faith, turning on the light switch, everything. Then we try to use that
kind of faith with God and it doesn't work because we have not heard
the word. We can't work up to faith. It is reading the word which came
from God.
What do I do? I really want to go to Chicago this
summer with my missionary friends, but right now I have work, and I
dont want to just quit and then come back and need a job. This is the
hardest time in my life. But I am thankful that I have a God in control
of my life who knows my goals and dreams and what is best for me, and
parents to guide me through with their wisdom.This is somthing that he
is putting me through to grow me. It is very hard. I am going to get
deep in the word and prayer and seek God about this. But on the
brighter side, something that has always been on my heart, Today in
church I was being healed with Gods word, and then I had this strong
desire to go on more missionary trips and start a young womens Bible
study, to encourage them in the word. After church my neighbor who is
an awsome marriage couselor and women of God, came to me and said "God
told me that you were the one who is going to help me teach a young
womens Bible study." Talk about God! And that he spoke to me in
church!! It was sooo awsome, it really lifted me up.
I really need encouragment and words of wisdom about what to do. Just...anything will help. | | |
| Been a long time Hello,
It has been along time since I have posted anything on xanga. I have
had an awsome summer in mexico. I went with Youth With A Mission. It
was so much fun and a eye opening experience. In January I am leaving
again for my Disciplship Training School with Youth with a mission. But
this one is five months long. Then I plan on doing my soe School of
Evangelism and that is also five months long. so next year I will not
be here. Which is so awsome. i dont know which countries I will be
going to for my outreach for these schools but I know that it will be
whatever God wants. please pray that I will get all of the money that i
will need for my first one training, and also just for my heart and
mind to be open to whatever God has for this time in my life. Then next
november I should be getting my braces off. that will be so awsome. and
that following febraury i will be 19.

| This summer started out heartbroken for me, but with the help of my
master I was able to have some peace about the situation, even though I
still hang on. It is hard to let go of something that you have learned
to care about. It is amazing to know that God will never stop liking us
or loving us for any reason. He will always be faithfull no matter what
I do.
I am going on a mission trip July 9th. I will be gone for three weeks,
half of those in mexico, I don't know where but in mexico, I will be
glad when it is over. I know that sounds horrible.
My nephew is absolutly the love of my life, I don't know what I would
do without him, but have a big hole in my heart. He is now 4 months
old.

| Another
year, another year to be able to start afresh with new people, new
thoughts, dreams, more things that you learn about yourself, a new
reason to again always lift your eyes to God to save yourself from...
yourself.
Each new year as
I grow, it seems that God grows too. HAHA funny you think, it is
really, but I know that it really is me finding out new things about
him. He is a mystery, at every turn he is always suprising me.
Sometimes I choose to walk away from that, and I find that my life is
no longer filled with the happiness and contentment that I have when I
am in Gods hands. It always amazes me that we are completely lost and
haven't found our true happiness when we do not know God as our
personal Lord and Savior. He is sooo awsome.
Well it is
getting that time of year again, can you guess what? CAMPING!!!!!
WHOOOOO! I can't wait. For all of you who don't like the outdoors, I am
truly sorry that you can't enjoy that, but hey look on the other side,
there is always a hotel! HA.
We are searching for a new place to camp, we haven't found our resting place yet so we continue to search.
Have a Great Week! God Bless You
Carli
