Only A Year

Ohhh my dreams........For the past fiveish years I have had this wonderful idea. I'm sure this is not a new found idea/wish but over the past fiveish years it has been MY dream and I have definitely made it my own. So here it is. I would absolutely love to spend a year and only a year doing a job/interest and then the next year do something competently different and the then the year after that and the year after that. . . .and the year after that doing something completely different and new!

Here would be some of my job interests.......but only for a year:

Photographer, to be able to capture Gods beauty and creation every day......
Wedding planner, to be able to perfect and plan every girl's dream day and share in all the joy of love stories...
Missionary, to be able to challenge my faith  and experiences Gods miracles and serve his people....
Zoologist, to be able to save all the animals of the world and cuddle with them ;) ....
Back-up Singer, to be able to sing my heart out and feel the music......
Traveling Blogger, to be able to travel the world and get paid to blog of the fun had....
Youth Pastor, to be able to watch youth grow in their faith and  see them share it with others......
Horse Trainer, to be able to work with an animal that has power and beauty and an unspoken language....

In search for this LOVE!

Only a true love story,

written by God, planned by Him,

placed perfectly in my future,

growth will come until then

and growth will double in size once found,

patience is and will be required,

love will be given and received 

even when the heart is scared of being broken

because this heart would rather be broken 

than left cold and dead,

so love will be pored out in the search for this LOVE!

A Christian Life

Living the christian life. . .

Can be as easy as living by a book,
as hard as trying to walk on a straight path with
so many other paths and distractions,
it becomes complex by involving others lives,
but is so rewarding because of the gift of eternal life.

(my thoughts from bible study last Monday)

Writing It Down

I decided actually writing down (typing) my testimony would be good for me. I think by doing this I can 1) actually put in the best words and what I want to say because I plan to work in ministry in the future and know that I will be telling and using it a lot 2) use it for my baptism, because I have to type it up for Summit 3) state what I believe and put it in 'concrete' what my testimony says and 4) tell other people/bloggers my testimony because it hasn't really ever been told like this or to this many people. Its nothing outrageously interesting but here is what I have say and tell:

I am one of those people that pretty much grew up in the church. After attending churches on and off, here and there my family started regularly attending church after my mom stopped working nights in the hospital, which was when I was in middle school. The summer before my freshman year in high school I began attending youth group at the church (Aloma United Methodist) and that is where it all changed for me. Before, going to church was kind of a requirement implemented by my parents; I knew I had to go whether they told me or not. So I always sat in the pew next to my parents trying my hardest not to fall asleep, never really understanding what any of the music and words meant. Youth group changed that. I finally had my own friends and community in Christ, and started to hear sermons and worship that made sense to me. Of course as a teenage girl, I went through that week or so after accepting Christ of being very emotional, vulnerable and of course there was lots of crying because I finally understood that someone died on the cross for my sins, so my entire world shifted from there on out.

Before making that life altering decision, life was great to tell the truth. I don’t have one of those testimonies where I was an abused little girl or had a messed up family before I became to know Christ. My life was normal, better than normal probably. However that decision was still life changing and shifted everything in my life. Of course its hard to put into words how that decision made a difference in my life because I can’t say that life for me was going from horrible to being good. So I try and explain by saying my life went from being good to being unimaginably great because my every sin has been forgiven, my future holds grace and the rest of my days will be lived walking as close behind Jesus as possible while growing in, through and towards God every day.  

So there it is, written down, in 'concrete'. . .lol :D
