Yesterday was Sunday February the 18
th 2007. Yesterday was also the day we set up for the aids benefit for orphans in Zambia. Along with that was vision night where we worship and take communion. Well how about i just tell you about my day from start to finish, well here we go...
Me,
Jonny and Ashley slept over at Deanne's. So i got up at 9:15 am, we had to leave there by 10:00 am that was the goal so we would have enough time to go and get Heather, get something for
Jonny to eat, and stop at my house so i can let the dog out and change, then be at the church bye 11:05am. So we left the house by 10:15 which wasn't so bad because
Jonny is good on time when he needs to get somewhere. I think we got to the church at like 11:04 or something so it worked out. The service was good, i love my Pastor. God does good things with that man. The worship was great, so was the service..great start to a good day. After the service we had lunch together as a family, there were about 50 of us. After we ate is when the set up began, we had people finishing the ten, people setting up stuff on the wall, people directing, people supervising, people helping other, people watching the kids, some people just ate, people making vines, people making leaves, people helping, it was all really amazing. One big family, everyone was getting along and everyone was just together.
Me and Heather were running around the place at one point trying to hide from each other, but i kept finding her..it was quite fun..hey
nuk..I WIN!!
After the set up was all done and everything was clean and put back into its place we had vision night. It all just went together so good..So we did some worship PA spoke a little, then we watched a movie on Mother Teresa..WOW i do not even know how to respond to the thing that this one woman did. Its just amazing, I
definitely recommend that people watch this movie. If we had more people on earth like her, man this world would be such a better place. A woman after Jesus' own heart. I even cried. So many thing she could have used as an excuse to just give up and stop trying but she never did she had Faith in God. Did what she knew was right, what she knew God was telling her to do. She listened to God and obeyed. She was a good and faithful servant.
What did i get out of it. I want to be like her. I am in some ways but not even close. I have confidence to do the things i never thought i could do. I know that if one lady, one girl who listened could do so much than what can i do. What can i do for the world i live in. How can i please God and make him proud of me? How can i make a difference. How can it be done?
I know i can do anything with the power of God and if God not interested in it it wont happen, but if he is it will.
That's one thing i
learnt form the movie last night.
From this day forward i am going to do my best to do everything i n my power to do right, and when i cant do it i will do everything in his power because i know with God all things are possible. I have people who love me and are willing to help me, people who want to see me succeed and do well in life i need to just listen and DO IT.
Saturday i mucked up again and didn't make some people proud, well to those who know what i am talking about i am so done, finished, i know i have said it before, and you don't have to believe me but seriously i am so finished its not even funny. i know i can do it now, i know what i am going to say if the opportunity arises, i know what i have to do and i know that i have to do it if i want to be anything like Mother Teresa was. I am not saying that i am going to be just like her but i just want to fulfill God will for me. I am going to start listening to him rather than trying to figure it out in my head on my own because it doesn't really get more no where, sometimes yea i get places but i just slide back into my little rut. I
don't want to stand in the muck and more i want to be back on solid ground, and what better day to start than yesterday, right. Great start!
I have a feeling things are not going to get easy for me any time soon because Satan is trying so hard to win me and i know he is not going to give up anytime soon. I am ready for it though, i know it is not going to be easy, but do i really want it to be. What the point if its too easy, wheres the challenge, without the challenge there is no lesson and i want the lesson because i want to learn and grow and love and just be. But for His will not mine. I want to hear the words, well done my good and faithful servant when i stand at the gates of Heaven.
Well i need to go for a shower and get ready for my first challenge..going back to work..ill let you know how it went, until then
God bless
always your friend,
