Time, place and friends.

Today I realized how amazing God is about bring people into our lives.
Well He has always been amazing at everything but it never really hit me till today.

God your leadership is perfect, 
Your timing is perfect, 
you love me so much (x2) 
better than I could even imagine.
You love me so well (x2)
better than I could even imagine.

Sorry listening to the music going on in the Prayer Room at IhopU and they were singing that^^

Well anywho (Blessed be your name in the land that is plentiful, where your streams of abundance flow.) today I had woken up at the time I set my alarm, well the thing I didn't expect was for a friend to call me to see if  I can take her to work. So I rushed Showered and changed in 30 mins and then sped to pick her up and take her to work. I did my make up in the car at every red light. [I am such a girl] [<<< not a song] Then I brushed my hair before I got out of my car at school to go in for BSM [Baptist Student Ministries] (I am so convinced that you are good x3 I will sing praise!). It was a crazy morning, no time to think. But Rusty the leader of the club brought us CHICK-FIL-A! I loved it!

We talked about Colossians 1:24-29. One thing he asked us was. "What must happen to us so we can be made more perfect in Christ?" Such a deep good question. Think about it.
I believe every day, every minute, every second is a good chance to be made perfect in Christ. We suffer every minute as Christians, being Christian is harder than not being one. We must battle the world and our flesh every second. So as we run this race that is marked out for us, as we walk the halls of our school or our job, we are fighting a spiritual battle.  We can only win with God on our side. (For the eemy has been defeated and death couldn't hold you down, We are gonna lift our voice in victory, we are gonna make your praises loud!) Jesus died on that cross and fought for us so we may win. As we do our job and stay faithfull to Him and fight this battle we are made more perfect in Christ. We get so much more closer.

Then as I was taking my friend home after the meeting, before I went to work. We talked and it was such a blessing. Brought me so much joy and encouragement. It also reminded me that people are watching me [not only non-Christians but also Christians] and they take everything I do. That I am an example also to those who are my sisters and brothers in Jesus. Guys! People are watching you they take your life and use it, it can hurt someone or encourage them to the fullest. I was talking to my friend Kafui and we were talking about how God is really working in her. She told me "Mary your life and your walk has been a big encouragement to me in my life. Just how you keep going after the Lord and how you just kept praying for your father and how it worked and he changed so much" I was like wow... You know? We also are not happy in the place where we are living, not where we wanted to be, BUT we are both noticing God has so many reasons why and we both can not wait to see what happens this semester. I have this high school girl named Amy in my heart since the first time I saw her on the first day of school. I prayed to God to show me who He wants me to talk to and it was her. Tomorrow I am going to talk to her, she knows I am Christian, she seen me read my bible and she always looks ALOT when I am reading it.  So pray for those who God wants you to talk to. I am a bit nervous but I know God wants me to and He will make a way, you just gotta let Him.

Then went to work, I love my kids and I know they love me so much. I think I am there favorite. Alot of the kids tell me that I am their favorite "teacher" there haha :) It makes me happy, I always hug them and tell them I love them. They can see I care for them and want the best for them. They know I am strict and if they are good and listen I will be a cool person and we will have fun. I love them. I just want to take all of them to Jesus Camp and show them Jesus! They mostly aall come from broken homes and lives. It is so sad. They need love. Working there is not easy, as a Christian you are battling the world and the enemy and his demons while you are there. The kids are so hard to love, I have the love that God has for them in me, that is the only way I am surviving.

COME JESUS COME

I just got home from church about 30 minutes ago. I went to youth group today, I had to battle my flesh to go. I know God wanted me there so I went. It was good very good. A blessing to see young people being changed and going after God and wanting to share the love of Jesus to their classmates in school. Beautiful!

Now I am watching and listening to The Awakening at IhopU in the prayer room. I wish I could be there... I want to be there. I want to go to school there one day!!! AH!!! People are being healed! It is so amazing! People are coming to Jesus. GOD IS SO GOOD!

Man God has you in a place where He wants you at every minute for a reason. The timing is so perfect! The people in your lives from friends to just random people, they are all there for a reason. Embrace it and run with it! Run with them and it towards JESUS!!!

May you be healed!
May you be running!
To Christ
In to Christ,
