The Lord is calling

I went to church really stoned on Sunday. I was on the welcome team and I talked to everyone who walked into the service. I also collected the tithes with another girl. I'm not sure for how long I was really high, I'm not really sure most of the time when I'm high. I enjoy the feeling though, I work on another level. This shames me that I always have to feel this way. At the moment I'm really high writing this, I need prayers. The service was great Pastor Joseph interviewed a women who runs an amazing congregation in Kenya. She said the Lord is changing lives in the heart of the worst slum in the world. The church I attend; Ecclesia, sends a team to Kenya every year, when they return they tell stories and it has always intrigued me. During these talks I've always had this image of having a small clothing business in Kenya. I think people become truly happy when they learn how to make things. With that in mind what she said next blew my mind. The church teaches all the uneducated how to sew dresses! Wow I have a team to make my clothes and they are believers like myself. Take a minute today and please pray for the people of Kenya.
The rest of the service was very interesting also. Pastor Joseph started a series called All In, this refers to us giving up our lives so we can gain eternal life. The service ended with one of my favorite passages, JOHN 12:23-26.

Jesus replied "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant will also be. My father will honor the one who serves me."

What a great passage. Prayer requests are always welcome. I found out recently a friend of mine's father is very sick with cancer. My friend Zacarias I had mentioned before is doing a little better and been able to leave the hospital. Go in peace brothers and sisters in Christ

I was worrying about money

I reached into my bag today to get out my notebook. Inside the notebook is where I write down all of my little expenses. I was about to figure out how I was going to spend my next check when I noticed my little black bible. I picked it up and decided to read a little scripture before any thing. Well after flipping through a few pages I found LUKE 12:22-26.

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. "Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you can not do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Well I put the notebook away and wrote this. Thank you almighty Lord Jesus, your suffering on the cross has saved me for all eternity. In your name all things are possible, AMEN.

Please contact me for any prayer requests. Oh please keep praying for Zacahrias, the crohns is really doing a number on her. Pray for my friend Mark, he has had a bad throat infection for a month now. Please pray for my former Rick who is readjusting to being back home from an extended stay in the hospital. Also for Tommy who is now taking care of him, he is going to need them.

Temptation

Thanks to anyone who prayed for me, my quick trip to Alaska went well. I hitchhiked 300 miles over an 8 hour period and Lord be praised the only time it was really raining was when I was already in cars. The photo bellow is my bestie Audra, I went up for her surprise 30th birthday. Great times, I felt very blessed that it all worked out.

The temptation part of my post involves the copious amount of drugs awaiting me when I get home. I really do not want to smoke any weed. Please pray for me, I have this need, or should I say desire to get as high as possible. I want to forget something, but I'm not sure what. Pray for me brothers and sisters and ask that the Lord takes away this compulsion that I have.

 Please send any prayer requests you might have, go in peace friends.

More prayers my brothers and sisters in Christ

My friend Zacarias still needs prayers since she is back in the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea. We ask that Zacarias' faith in our Risen Lord will heal her body. In the Lord's name all things are possible.
 I ask for prayers for me as I embark on a trip up north for a surprise birthday party. I will be hitchhiking for some of the trip so I'm asking the Lord to watch over me ask I travel.
 I also ask for the Lord's healing power to touch Joseph who lies in ICU, he has a wife Cynthia and a 9 year old daughter Alex. We pray that the Lord help the doctors find out what is wrong with Joseph and start him on the right treatment so he will be healed quickly. We also ask Lord that you put a calmness over the hearts of his family and everyone who he has touched. Let the Lord keep them reserved so there emotions don't overcome them. We ask all these things in your name Oh Risen Lord, because in your name all things are possible while everything not of your name is to be ash, praise you Jesus! AMEN

The power of our father

I have been very proud lately; this is not a trait I like but I know I've enjoyed acting that way. I have many behaviors I am currently trying to end. I disappoint myself and the Lord on a daily basis with this behavior. I ask the Lord to please take away my urge for instant gratification. I want to be as high as possible, having an orgasm or just doing nothing so badly most of the time. It makes me feel gross when I lower myself to this level. I ask the same as I always ask "please Lord take away my shortcomings and these evil desires that I let into my heart along time ago" in your name all things are possible.

Last night I got a flat tire while driving my bosses car. The truck's spare tire was underneath the truck and needed a special crank to get it off. Well the crank was gone and the AAA guy couldn't do anything but offer a tow. I didn't have money for the tow and my boss needed her truck the next morning for work. Fortunately after 2 hours of praying the Lord provided us with a a tool to get the tire down. It wasn't the best night but I was thankful with the way the Lord made everything work out.

I have some prayer requests. Please e-mail me any prayer requests you may have. My friend Zacarias has crohns disease, it has been bothering her for a while and has been in the hospital quite a few times recently. We ask the Lord to heal Zacarias and let her go back to the life that she had before. I could use some prayers for an adventure I'm going on this weekend. I ask for the angels of the Lord to stand behind me during my trip and watch out for my safety. I also ask the Lord to put me where he wants and with who ever needs to know his message and know his Love.

Please Lord

Please Lord take away my need to always smoke weed, I know there are medical benefits to using it but I do not have those needs currently. Thank you for all you have given me, also forgive me of the pride that I have. In your name all things are possible, Amen. If anyone has any prayer requests send them too me. If anyone who is listening please pray for my friend T's little brother in Sacramento, he is having kidney failure. It's all in the hands of the Lord now.

Loving the Lord

I recently went home to Alaska, the trip was very nice and it gave me the chance to share some of the ways the Lord has been working in my life. I'm still bothered by flying and trying with the prayer to over come that fear. I can say i handled myself pretty well on the flights and was lucky enough to sleep for a majority of the flights. I was able to make one service at my home church and it was amazing. I really felt the presence of the Lord, so much that during praise and worship I started crying. It's moments like that where I feel so blessed to have the Lord in my life. With all that said I'm still screwing up, I'm still putting my own wishes in front of the Lord. Drugs and sex are still a big draw for me, It hurts me to know that sometimes I would rather fill the hole inside me with ash then the power of Christ. I'm a lowly sinner O Lord, I ask for you to cleanse me and take my unclean desires away. Help me spread your gospel to the four corners of the world. Thank you  Jesus, everything is possible with your Love.
