Youth
This morning I was reading my bible and I came across a verse in Jeremiah.
“Ah Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”
But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord”
Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth.
Jeremiah 1: 5-9
As I sit and read this I cannot help but think of my Dad’s youth group over in Northern Ireland right now. When I went there when I was in high school I felt so small. So insignificant. “What can I do? I’m so young. So vile. So ignorant.” But the Lord moved me that week. And the spirit moved the people there.
Youth. Even though you are young and feel like you have no wisdom nor answers…you have Christ in you. And he will give you the words of His heart. You do not need to worry. Just have the boldness to speak and to love and watch HIM WORK!

127 hours
I refused to see this movie because I am highly constraphobic and the thought of me being stuck somewhere for days makes me go into panic mode.
But my friends decided that it would be a good idea and they told me the movie was well done...so I watched it.
Although I will probably never see that movie again I thoug
ht it was amazing! I was so impressed with the directing and the music...and even through the graphic scenes.. I was left feeling so proud of him for wanting to live that much. Rent this movie...close your eyes if you do not like graphic bloody scenes but it is pretty phenominal what man will do to stay alive. Monday, April 25, 2011

Dried Up
I was reading the Crucifiction story as I try to do every Easter and I came up on a verse that I do not quite remember.
I remember Jesus saying, "forgive them for they know not what they do" and "today you will meet me in paradise" but I do not remember this sentence.
After the cross was given to Simon to carry...
"A Large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for youselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bored and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will say to the mountains, 'Fall on us' and to the hills, 'Cover us!' "
FOR IF PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS WHEN THE TREE IS GREEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT IS DRY?"
The son of God was walking among them and performing miracles and people still did not believe. Everyday I walk around looking at God's marvilous work and my amazing blessings and I still do not believe. What will happen to me when something horrible happens? Will I dry up? Or take shelter in His Roots? We shall see...Lord help my unbelief.

I wish...
I have this beautiful friend. She is one of the most amazing people I know. Loves her friends. Loves to travel and experience new things. Generous. Kind...
Yet horrible things surround her. Her mother is dying of cancer and her siblings are not handling it very well. So of course...my amazing friend has to be the one holding everything together.
If only I knew how to help...how to be more than just a prayer warrior for her. I wish I had the money to take her to Greece and forget all her troubles. I wish I had the time to go to her house and clean and organize her rooms. I wish I had the strength to confront her family who are being so burdensome.
But alas, all I can do is pray. And i intend to pray for this woman for the rest of my life. Because the Lord shows himself through her whenever I am with her and provides me with comfort whenever I am in need.
So friends...be praying for this Proverbs 31 woman. Especially Today!

The Last Station
I have seen the poster and DVD for this movie for over a month and always wanted to see it. Thankfully it was on Netflix and I did not have to pay to see it.It was not a bad movie by any means...I just knew the ending already. :)
But if you love History and Literature then you will love this movie.

READ THIS BOOK
So I have told you to read the book Passport Through Darkness. At the time I had not bought it but I knew who the author was and knew it had to be an incredible story.
I did not know it was going to be about the people of Sudan and Kimberly's journeys to and from Sudan to fight slavery.
I cannot stress this enough. You need to go purchase this book immediately. It will open your eyes to the evil in this world.
I will admit that I do not watch the evening news because I get tired of watching the evil and murder in this world. But unlike the evening news...these sad stories have a redeemed ending. Why? Because the end has not come yet. And these people who are suffering will one day suffer no more.
I have been researching Sex Trafficking for the last two years...and I have never read anything so intense in my life. It brings the Holocaust to the present day.
Sex trafficking is real. It is happening to people in Sudan. It is happening to children in Birmingham, AL. And we are called, as HUMANs, as Christians, to fight and protect the children who have had their childhood stolen from them.
Read a chapter. Then Pray. Read a chapter. Then Pray. Finish the Book. Then sponsor a child. Imagine your children. Your sisters. Your brothers. Sex trafficked at 8 years old...imagine the cruelty and inhuman actions that they were forced to endure. Protect the innocent and fight sex trafficking by supporting Kimberly L. Smith and buy this damn good book.

Going the Distance
This movie was predictable from the beginning but it was filled with so much comedy that it makes it worth the watch...From Applegate to Long these comedic actors made this movie...
Not to mention Drew's wardrobe throughout the movie is so freakin cute. :)

Miss Potter
I rented Miss Potter featuring Renee Zellweger as Beatrix Potter, the famed author of the most beloved children stories..."The Tale of Peter Rabbit".
I had no idea what kind of person and what kind of life Beatrix Potter lead! And it was so much fun to dive into her imagination. Such a cute and adorable movie!
