For those who don't know I attend DMC (destiny masters commission) in Del City, Ok.
DMC is a 10 month leadership and discipleship program that is intense but absolutly amazing. I picked DMC for so many reasons, I had no idea what I wanted to do school wise, I tried college and it just wasn't for me. I think there's nothing better than to make your relationship with God better. I also get the opportunity to meet complete strangers and live with them for 10 months and become best friends and make life long friendships that I know that I will cherish for all time.
Destiny MC is so amazingly intense. We travel all over the country throughout the year for example, our year started at the end of Sept and we have already been to Indiana, Kansas, and all over Ok. After the Christmas break we will be going to Az, Fl, In, Tx, and maybe Cali. We take mission trips out of the country, this year we will be going to Mexico, Scotland and Honduras.
So far in my life choosing DMC is the best decision I've ever made.

In facing the giants Coach Taylor wants Brock's very best in the "death crawl'' they normally do 10 yrds but Coach says he wants 50yards.... he blind folds him. He starts out doing good and all but he starts saying that it hurts and he wants to quit well Coach Taylor of course says no and starts yelling at him syaing dont quit i want your very best. He does it he goes the entire length of the football field. God wants te same thing
till next time

God give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
God give me the power to change the things I can
Give me the wisdom to know the difference.
I can honestly say that the past few days have been quite an expierence... The damage from the ice storm is jaw dropping.... The masters team has been with out power since early monday morning, but we are hopefully getting back today... On a more serious note, I'm praying that God will give me another piece of the puzzle this week.
I came into Masters thinking i was being called to Fine Arts ministry, now i have no idea. In Jan to May of 2006 I was enrolled in to EMT classes ic Chickasha, Ok I loved it I did great until my FINALS... i hate tests, so i flunked and boxed up my dream of going to medical school and put it on a shelf, to never touch it again.
Well to make a longer story short, lets just say I have dusted off the box and reopened it, I have no idea which way God wants me to go...????.... but I'm trusting him to give me another piece....
Till Next Time

This is what God has shown me. Taught me.
I think we are given life verses that speak to us in a way that others don't. They are our Rhema ( just ask ). Now picture a cursor on a music player on your computer it moves so steady and no matter what you now it will be at the end of the track when the songs is over. I SAY THAT TO SAY THIS.... The cusor is you, the length of the song is your life, the end of the song is Heaven, as we walk down the road and we think we are going in the right direction, but when we make a wrong decision (by clicking the pause or stop or start over) we have to realize it.
So many times Satan will push our buttons and make us start our songs over, and as humans we look at it as we will never reach Heaven never reach God.
Just like all songs they have to end sometime, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you will die someday. You just have to keep going, keep growing, GO DEEPER, enrichen your relationship with God everyday, just as constant and definate that the cursor will reach the end of the song i promise you reach Heaven if you reach for God.
so.......
Whats your life song?
mine changes a lot but right now its Rain Song by Day of Fire
So these last two weeks have been super crazy. Ive been doing a lot of thinking for them team, and about myself. I wrote a human video friday, for our girls service this saturday. God is doing some mighty things in me right now. This morning at morning prayer, i was walking around listening to Natalie Grant In Better Hands, and Pastor Niesent prayed over my back, and i use the authority God has given me and i command healing over my back in the name of Jesus. By his stripes i am healed. I love you!!! till next time
So the masters team got back together yesterday, it was good being back again a week is just too long. But during hide-n-seek (our girls group) lastnight we were talking about how our week went and i think all us went through some type of struggle over the break. As i was telling the girls about my week i just wanted to get upand walk away and not say anything!!! I havent felt more unsure, worthless and ugly in a while than in that moment. I know im pretty or attractive, but i dont feel that way, i think its more than just being a girl. I feel so numb about so many things, and i feel as if i cant deal with it, till i can feel for it idk. I love where i am at this point in my life, i dont want to be anywhere else in the world than right here in masters commission, i love it. But i just feel so numb, so raw so alone. like if i were to scream right now would anyone hear me, or if i were crying would someone notice. Would You Notice?
So i know that my title has nothing to do with my blog, but please bare with me.
So today is my day to give the book review, (BTW we are reading Blue Like Jazz) but anyways I read my chapter once already and got nothing meaningful out it so i wasnt excited about doing this review infront of the class. Today as i was going over the chapter i felt as if I should just re read it, why idk cause i hate reading, but i did it just so i could more notes, but in the middle of the chapter Don starts to talk about " Trendy Writer guy aka TWG and how he was doing on his book reading. TWG was saying how Muhammad was one of his heroes and how he didnt have a problem with Muhammad himself bt he did have a problem with middle aged white guys who grew up in America claiming he is their hero, he said it was just the trendy thing to do.
By doing this he judged TWGs motives, when I read and saw tht he admited to judging him I felt as if he should take back what he said or feel bad or something, but i realized as humans ad as Christians we judge everyone sometimes on purpose and sometimes we do it and we dont even know it. Now dont think i'm ragging on Christians or looping all of us together, but admit it people we are humans and we are NOT perfect. The only way we can be better as humans and Christians is with God's help.
Don the author goes on to say that, we as humans have desires for something bigger than us and something to help us along in life, but so many people try to fill that desire and it can go good for a some time and the second things stop going the way we want them to we begin to doubt it and change our minds and move on to something else. So many people like change so much I will include myself in this I love change.
I think and this is my personal opinion, but I think a lot of peoples problem is not that God is not fullfilling, our problem is that are spoiled little kids, and when we don't get our way we throw a fuss.
I want you to think about this and picture this in your mind....
God is out camping and he makes this fire, (you are the fire), a fire starts out small and builds right, well every once and a while God grabs a stick and pokes the fire so it doesnt go out, and with every poke it gets bigger and thn goes back down and needs another poke. Well we need to be on fire for God! Our faith needs to kick in before the poke and we need need Trust God after the poke, so that when our fire does dwindle a little and it will i promise life sucks sometimes, but its in those times that we hold on and trust and just wait on God to poke our fire. God gives us revelations all the time whether they be big or small they are important, an we need to realize them, so that our fire can grow bigger. God Bless you and thank you for reading my blog.
Take a step of Faith

I have put a lot of new pictures up so take a look,
I love how God can be amusing sometimes, and put something on my heart and it be something that another person wants to do.. I have a project that God has put on my heart and i cant wait to tell my leaders and get it rolling.

So if you didn't know, this past weekend the whole DMC team went to Brazil, Indiana did 2 services there, and then we went to Topeka, Kansas and did a youth service there, then went to Emporia, Kansas for a youth service.
Well first of all let me say we had a 15 passenger van with 15 people in it for around 13 hours the first day to Indiana, i slept pretty much the whole way cause i get car sick so i took some medicine to make me sleep... so i was good.
When we finally got to Brazil, we met at the church (River Community Church) pastor Julie Lake, she's was amazing the passion she has for people ad for the Lord blew my mind, Sat night we did a youth rally service, and then Sunday we did their sunday morning service. In Brazil we had home openers to stay with i and the rest of the girls stayed with Bobbie,she was so sweet and her home was so beautiful.
We left Brazil for Topeka, and we had sunday night off to rest and get to know our new home openers, Jessica and I stayed with Will's aunt and uncle, (Patty and Bob) they were some of the nicest poeple ive ever met, Monday we had a youth service that night and it was so much fun. I met a few girls and guys that are interested in coming to DMC, so that was really cool to tell people how amazing DMC really is.
In Emporia, we were at Belindas home church, and it the church was absolutly beautiful, i worked the sound booth that serivce, but our speakers did so good this weekend.
God is doing some amazing things in our team and you should see us its amazing.
