Smaerd

I seem to have them every night.
Everyone is different
But similar in some respects
People in my self conscience, that I never expected to appear,
And circumstances that bewilder me time and time again.
They are long
They are short
They make sense, and then again, some make none at all.
No one can interpret them and no one really should
I try to write them down on paper, but my memory always fails me.
It's like they arent meant for others to read them, or hear them
(Peanut butter before bed ALWAYS triggers EPIC dreams)
Other nights bring things I swear will happen some day
Sometimes I wish I could live in my "dream world"
And other nights I am thankful I dont.
So I'm wondering, what are dreams, and why are mine so strange?

I guess staying up late, is preparations for sweet dreams

Wednesday night was insane. 246 kids and plenty of visitors, 20 commitments and so many little mirrors all over the ground proving that the kids won't be defined by anything other than what Jesus tells them they are. Awesome reaction to Becky taking a hard swing at this mirror and such fun worship time. I am so proud of Destiny for singing with power and "poundin" the guitar (thats how i describe her playing, in my own words ha) Just overall great night, can't wait for the next night like this!

Journey Church

I just want to take a few seconds (which will probably add up into a few minutes) to talk about my new church family. I started going to The Journey Church, on Amelia Island about 4 months ago, and already HUGE things have happened. I have made some of the most amazing friends and formed great relationships with awesome people. Journey does so much for the people of Nassau County as well as stretching their hands to the "ends of the earth". Having strong leadership in a church is essential and that is definitely something that I have taken notice of, by being surrounded by loads of people, in leadership, that are lead by prayer and focus on EXCELLENCE in everything they do. We are always thinking of innovative ways to be a church and to be THE church and it so excites me to be apart of such a family. Leading worship on Wednesday nights for the youth program called "X-Change" has been quite a thrill and gave me the opportunity to form relationships with so many of the kids that attend week in week out.

Mirrors

-MY RANT-
We all love mirrors...its so hard to walk past one and not just sneak a peak at the way that we look. Some people do it in a sneaky sneaky way and others just walk up to it and do a full 360 look at themselves. Have you ever noticed how mirrors are everywhere too. Theyre in our houses, jobs, schools and even in our cars.
(p.s: a mirror was the reason I destroyed my right side "mirror" on my car by way of a mailbox)
-ANYWAYS-
We love mirrors because they reflect an image of who WE are and we like to see that. Even though it may sound funny, worship is all about mirrors in my opinion...
-REMEMBER-
God always has a purpose behind everything he does. He created us, as humans, for worship. He made each of us to be a mirror to reflect all of his awesome glory. God wants to be able to look at our lives and see himself reflected back in all we say and do.
-SO TRULY-
when we truly worship, we move the spotlight off of ourselves and onto God. Thats really hard for us to do sometimes but the more we worship, the more we understand how was have got to mirror the greatness of our maker, the more we understand THAT we can understand his spirit and his truth and THEN the smaller we become and the BIGGER god is to us.
