Here I am sitting at 630 in the morning. Thinking. I really couldn't sleep well last night, wondering how I am going to make it through class today. Please give me strength Father, thank You for waking me up again. Today is such a beautiful day.
I'm constantly reminded how good God is too me. How I was able to put money in the bank for missions. How I have both parents and I am allowed to be a young person. I don't have a sick father and a dead mother, and at age nine have to be caretaker for my younger siblings. I have a wonderful family with supportive parents. I have a comfortable bed where I am able to feel safe from the elements and a lock on the door that makes me able to feel safe from danger. I read about a girl named Elizabeth in a compassion international magazine, and the sad story above that I don't have is hers. But guess what? That story is changing. Elizabeth isn't stuck in her sadness, even when she has probably excruciating pain and complete exhaustion at times. She still has to go to school, watch over her younger siblings, and she probably worries a lot about her father. Yet she has a heavenly father looking over her, and I do too. MUCHAS GRACIAS YESHUA. POR FAVOR ESTAR CON TU HIJOS HOY Y SIEMPRE Y DA NOSOTROS TU FUERZA... TE AMO!!!

I'm so thankful
Maybe I have a dream. A beautiful dream that I myself can't fully comprehend. Maybe I'm different from everyone my age. Maybe I'm not so concerned about my hair, makeup, or clothes, or getting a really nice tan at the beach. What if I just want to serve God with all my heart, soul and mind and rid me of myself, belonging to my Creator?
I want to throw myself recklessly into missions, serving the people who live in dumps, communicating with them in their own language. Help the special needs children who just want and need so desperately to be loved? What if I'm not ready?
What if I am?
What if I've been given a beautiful gift of love, and I want to nurture it in the best way I can? What if I want to show that you can be romantically in love and keep yourself pure? I want to love someone for their wisdom, their brain, their FAITH and LOVE for GOD first, and stay away from physical impurity?
I just want to love as many people as I can, and show them the Almighty's love. I don't know how it will happen, but I know God my Father has a plan. I don't want to do this life for myself, I just want to do it for You Father! Please Lead me in Your Love that ever abounds. I want to delve into Your love and purpose for me. Help me to never be in a relationship or do anything that is outside of Your purpose for me. Thank You for my family, Your purpose and love, Haille and her team, my brothers and sisters in Christ, for my love and his family, for Your children everywhere. Please bless them all, give us words to speak for You, let us shine like stars in the blackest night. Please help me to be WHERE You want me WHEN You want me.
AMEN

Learning to walk in Jesus' example
Matthew 9:35-38
New International Version (NIV)
The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Dear God, please prepare me to be a worker of Your harvest, WHERE and WHEN You will it. Let Your way be done in my life!! Thank You for all the joy and precious gifts You have bestowed on my life and for directing my paths always. You know everything that I will do before I do it. Thank You for Your protection. Please be with all Your children today, keep them safe and healthy, heal their sickness, and brokenness. Please bring Your lost ones to You for Your glory. Let everything Your children do be for Your glory, not ours please. I love YOU!!!
