Disaster Strikes

Disaster Strikes Alabama

These are just two photos out of thousands that were taking to try and show people what has happened in Alabama. Pictures dont do it justice.
This mile wide tornado traveled on the ground for over 30 miles.
Over 200 lives were taken. Thousands Injured. several still missing in the dibree.
This natural disaster has left everyone with heavy hearts. Some are gathering up all they have to donate, some are gathering teams to go help clean up the areas. Most importantly people are praying. Like me I have been praying non stop for these people and for the families who have lost someone.
It is sad to hear that people are walking the street with nothing. NOTHING! can you imagine yourself with NOTHING. I cant.
Mothers with out any food for there children, no dippers for there babies.
People are in extreme panic. There are break outs of people killing one another. Breaking into stores that are still standing.
Could all these wordily disasters mean something?
Is all this a sign from above? Tonight as you read this blog I pray that it will prick your heart to pray or to offer anything that you have to help.
There are thousands without shelter. I couldn't imagine losing my home let alone a family member.
In this time of true chaos we need to come together and pray intercede for those who cant. Help however you can.
Tonight as I eat my dinner, I will pick and barely eat because i will  think about those who didn't have dinner tonight.
As I take a shower and put clean clothes on, I will think of those who do not have this privilege.
As I lay in my bed, I will toss and turn and think about those who do not have a bed.
Tonight I will get on my face crying out to God for everyone.
The lord is my strength.

Catching Up

Its been awhile since I have updated on a few things, So I thought I would Catch you up. :)

Massage Therapy is still in progress. I got approved to take my Boards again.They gave me another 2 Chances. Which I am hoping it will only take one! I have started gathering my study materials back up again. Its time to buckle down and get the ball rolling. My test will be on June 3rd.
I met a girl named Anita. She goes to church with me and she is in the same boat as me. So we are going to study together and try to teach each other what we know.

WLC this is still in my prayers every night. But right now, it is not my most important prayer request. I am not sure what will happen about all of that. I feel like I need to get my license before I move, that way I can practice while going to school.  I know God has big plans. I know that it will all work out.

Cleaning Business
Cleaning is going well on the weekends. I did not clean this past weekend, which I am glad. It felt good to have break! :) I love cleaning those houses. They are beautiful! Hopefully one day I will own one for myself. :) 
I needed a break this weekend. Especially since I am about to be over loaded with studying.

My Birthday!  Is coming up on May 13th :)
Unfortunately it is on Friday the 13th this year, But i am looking at it in a good way, because Its on the weekend. :) I will be 24 :)
My plans are:
Friday night going to see the Braves play! : )
Saturday going to the aquarium :) I'm definitely seeing the dolphins this time. :) I have been waiting on them to get the dolphin exhibit open for a year now! LOL
Sunday going to church of course
My birthday is going to be special this year because someone special is coming to spend it with me! :)
I am very excited! :)

The Band
I joined the REMIX band at church again. Its going very good so far, I really enjoy it. Im just glad to be singing again. We have band practice every Tuesday night, which works out perfect for me, because I get off early on Tuesdays, so it gives me plenty of time get everything done! :)

I went and saw Author this weekend. It was actually very funny. I would like to see so many other movies I would like to see, but i will prolly have to wait till they are at the REDBOX  :)


So I think thats all for now. At least thats all I can think of.

The Faith Cry

I was given a devotion yesterday, and it had a very Strong meaning to me. I had never heard this before. But I am glad I did.
How many people do you hear of that cry out of to Jesus in desperation? I know that I am one of them. I thought that's what you did. I never heard of anything else. I thought when you needed something, or when you are hurt you cry out in desperation to God for help.
This is what the devotion says.

Be of Good Cheer.
" And I exhort you to be of good cheer." Acts 27:22
What do you do when you're in a perilous situation? If your like I used to be, you cry out to God in desperation.
One afternoon when I was squalling out to God about something, he interrupted me and said, did you know that I don't hear the cry of my children when they cry out in desperation? WHAT!!!!????
The Lord said, No I hear the desperation cry of a sinner because that is all they can cry out. But once you are born again, you ought to be crying out in FAITH. I hear the FAITH CRY.
What is the faith cry?
It is calling things that be not as though they where. Romans 4:17

This really gave me a wake up call. Because I know that I don't cry out in faith. But now I know I need to start! Its amazing how God is always giving you answers or help.  You just have to be sensitive enough to the spirit to hear it.
I need to hear that yesterday. And I hope that from now on out I have a FAITH CRY!

For the past month or so I have been cleaning beach houses on the weekends for extra money.
These houses are in 30A which its a ritzy part off 98.
It is so beautiful. I would love to live in one of these houses, or I would be satisfied just staying. lol
These houses rent for around $8,000 to ALOT just for one week. They are multi million dollar homes.
Anywho, I have some pictures I will upload off of my phone here in a few and tag them to this blog. I think the best part about these houses are the furniture and the color. I mean its just incredible. It makes me want to go to the thrift store and buy old furniture and paint them. lol I would love for my house to be beachy. :) One day I will have a house like this! Im speaking it into existence. :)
Cleaning these houses are alot of work, but it is worth it just to be in these houses. :) And to be so close to the beach.
The beach is like therapy in itself. The salty air and the sounds of the water. I could just live there and always be happy. :)
Ok so Im about to go upload some photos! :) Im sure the more I clean I will be posting more and more pictures! Enjoy! :)

True love

 The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you

A New Bloom

Today marks one month since Brittany and Baby Shep have entered into Eternity with Jesus.
This morning I also had a Bright Yellow flower Bloom right in front of me! I didn't realize until just now that it was The anniversary. I honestly thought it represented my new life since i was baptized last night. And i guess it could mean both.
The way I look at it is Brittany was there with me this morning to great me with a Bright smile and to tell me she was proud of me, but all in the same time to let us know she is doing fine. By the end of the Day that flower was in full bloom. It makes me smile with proudness and remembrance!
My thoughts and prayers are with the Shepard and Pugh family!
I know the Lord is my Shepard! :)

Life Changing

Once again My God has amazed me!  I love it when he just throws me for a loop!
Tonight I got baptized for the first time! yes the first time! I will be 24 next month!
I have been wanting to get baptized for a long time now, but I always came up with an excuse! I wanted so and so to baptize me, I want it to be a private setting, blah blah blah..Tonights excuse was I didnt have any clothes to change into. Well as soon as I said that it came to me that I did have clothes in the car. LOL
Its amazing how God works.
Last week I received an email asking me if i was still interested in being baptized. and I thought oo i better hold on to this email, then i just never went back to it. Then I have been praying for a week now for a totally cleansing of my body, i true forgiveness. Then tonight i get to church, and I was made aware that we were going over to main service for the water baptism service and i was oh cool, then i made a joke that i was supposed to be baptized tonight. Well we get over there, as soon as i walk in the building i felt a tug on my heart. as the service started everyone was getting baptized and i felt like wow i missed my chance, well as soon as i said that he offered for anyone else to come.. well my mom kept tugging at to go and i kept saying no i dont have clothes, no i have to sing, then my little nephew got baptized and i was like wow, well then more and more ppl kept going up there and i felt the tug get stronger and stronger and i couldn't bare it anymore.. i got up and literally ran. I was shaking the whole time, but i knew it was something that needed to be done and so it was finished and i felt new! It was amazing All of my past was gone! I felt complete. and Then I was like well i guess i wont sing.. haley had ran to the car to get my clothes and then they waited for me before they started singing! :) I got to sing wet head and all, but it was amazing! The worship was different! I was on FIRE! and his spirit fell in that place! Pastor Scott spoke and it was so good! He spoke about not being ashamed of God and stand up for him, Be who we are called to be! and we literally had prolly 15 ppl laid out in the spirit! I was awesome! I love it when GOd shows up and Shows out!!! My God Is awesome!!! Im so excited to see what God is going to do next! :)

Only you

Throughout my day I often think of Brittany and baby Shep. Since their accident This verse comes to me all the time now. It was Brittanys favorite verse, and it has slowly become mine. This verse has so much meaning to it.
There is a season and purpose for everything! If you just sit back and think about it. It also takes me back to everything happens for a reason!
This verse has such a powerful meaning to it!
At work today I drew this! It turned out very well I think anyways. I sent a copy of it to Brittanys Facebook! I hope her and her family enjoy it! :)
It also has inspired me to start doing more art work! :)
I miss Brittany and Baby Shep. I miss seeing the smiles on her families faces.
I know with time I will see it again!
Brittany has forever changed my life! and She continues to do so each day!
Love you Britt!

Happiness

Happiness is something that I have found in such small things.
This weekend while I was at the beach I didn't take for granted how the sand felt on my feet, how the ocean water felt as it crashed over me, or how the sun looked as it set before the amazing stars were set in there place.
God has created such an amazing place for us to live. I have learned not to take it for granted.
I will post some pictures on this blog I hope it will work.
