| I just got back from Falls Creek and God sized stuff took place. My whole senior class...who thought they were saved...asked Christ in their hearts, with an exception of a few. I kid you not. My best friends got saved and I have to be honest and say that i was sceptical at first. No one even mentioned in a sermon or bible study or even a convo about doubting ur salvation but all this sudden one person got it right and then the alter was flooded. The greatest picture I've ever seen. I prayed for God to bring rain that week because in scripture there was always a blessing during the presence of the rain. But, I never imagined the rain would be my friends flooding the alter. Nothing less than amazing. | | |
| I just attended oklahoma girls state, a camp dedicated to girls who wanted to learn about politics and how exactly the government works. Me being a girl who isnt interested in any one of those areas....my week SUCKED! There were a total of 416 delegates selected to attend...all girls...6 days no boys! Which I am not a guy fanatic but i did miss the male gender none the less. My roommate was interesting..you'll have to ask me about her sometime. I did get to sit in on a Drug court, which for most girls was very uncomfortable but OMG i loved it. I love helping people and there were just so many empty people that were looking for something that I just thrived on it. There were only 2 of us delegates that got to be in the court and 110 drug offenders. I won't bore anyone with all my stories of Drug Court even though I have so many and have devoloped such a passion for the empty but if you want to know more than feel free to ask me. I finally got to come home...it felt great to be free!!!! My friends had a baseball game that I attended and it was so refreshing to see all of them. They won in case anyone cares...too bad the Yankees didnt win yesterday. That sucked! Anyways...it feels good to be home...even though im not here long. | | |
| Have you ever thought about the phrase "Just as I am?" I thought about that today when i was writing and can u imagine how desprate someone would have to be to accept some of us how we are? I know I wouldnt offer open arms to someone like me. Sometimes i think we get the impression that God is looking for us...when really hes found us we just never really find him. For some reason we as humans evolve in our minds that the quest for God is an endless journey. When really what God wants is for us to find him ASAP and then finish the journey walking side by side with him. Its not so much following God....its joining him.
* I'm coming to this place where I might see your face
but I'm coming with the fear that u may not be here.
I'm coming with all my marks caused from walking in the dark
But still I come
I come with nothing to offer
I come with nothing left to give
I come with a heart thats broken
With the strength of a grain of sand
But with the want of a hungry man
I come..I come* | | |
| Oh my gosh....it has been forever since I've updated this thing..sorry everybody!! But things that are goin on with me well there isnt a whole lot. Two weeks ago was Homecoming and I went with a guy named Nich. He's a sweetheart and a football player...too bad he broke his arm in the game one week before Homecoming. So he was mad all night because he didnt get to play but we still had fun. This past week it was just me and my dad and my bro. My mom went to Mexico to be the chaplain for the ORU girls basketball team. When she gets back then my dad will go to speak to a camp in Leedy,Oklahoma. I know its sad to say, but things have been fun without mom here....all we've been doin is watching football and baseball...ITS AWESOME!!! You know how growing up you always had that certain guy that you said you would marry....well mine is engaged but not to me. So sad! He just got drafted to the Red Sox this summer and called today to tell my family that hes engaged. Happy day for him...sad day for me. lol. We started Basketball a couple of weeks ago. I guess thats goin ok. I'm ready for track though. Our all school production( the musical we put on) is Beauty and the Beast. It is going to be awesome. We have one of the best musicals every year across the state so if you get a chance then come see us because this will be a good one to enjoy. I am a silly girl..which is one of the girls who follows Gaston around. Its a lead in the musical but not so much in the movie. I'm excited.That is pretty much all that is going on with me. Sorry it took me so long to update. I'll try to do a better job. God is Good! Love you all

| God is kicking my butt right now. There are a couple of quotes especially that I cant get past.
" Since he could bear your sins more easily than he could bear the thought of your hopelessness, he chose to leave and venture to the cross"
" If there was hesitation on the part of his humanity, it was overcome by the compassion of his divinity."
"There is a father who will hold me until I'm better, help me until i can live without the hurt, and wont go to sleep when im afraid of waking up and seeing the dark"
"But they were an ounce more devoted than they were afraid, and, as a result, did some extraordinary things."
----thats just been in my quiet times----God is so good!
Always Always~~~Rachel | | |
