Seth

Okay so theres this boy named Seth. I have had a burden for him since the moment I layed my eyes on him. I have prayed for this boy more times than I can count. Most of my troubles started in the summer.

Seth and I had started to become really good friends. We were hanging out all the time and getting to know each other really well. Well one day he calls me up and asks if I want to go shopping, and seriously, what was I gonna say? No?? I think not. So we go to Fayetteville and we are having a pretty good time until we get to about the 3rd store. It was Hot Topic. Which, if you know me, is not a store that I regularly go into. Well we were in there for about 30 mins when I started to get REALLY bored. And we were looking at the same stuff over and over again so I was like seriously lets go.

So we come to the next store which is Pac Sun. Same story. Well finally we come to Spencers. Once again, not a store I frequently enter. Well we were seriously in there for like 45 mins before I was like.."okay Seth, seriously, can we leave this store? We've been in here forever!" and he got really upset with me and started yelling saying that I didn't care about him blah blah blah. I was like okay whatever just hurry up. Well by this point I was really starting to get annoyed. Thats when I started to notice workers were following us around and I really started to freak out. I was like "Seth, they are starting to follow us around." This really bothered him, he was all like "Don't you ** trust me, blah blah" cursing at me. I was just like "whatever, if you want me I will be sitting outside." Well I waited and he never showed, so I went back in and they had him in the back for shopplifting. I was livid!! I was like you have GOT to be kidding me!! After I have befriended him, he goes and does this to me?! Seriously.

Then he has the nerve to try and commit suicide that night. Of all the selfish things. To take your own life. That is the most selfish act someone can make. NOTHING in your life is ever bad enough for you to take your life. I'm sorry but its true. Even in my darkest of days, I would never have done it. I would cut myself, but I would never ever try to kill myself.

But anyway long story short. He hasn't improved. He is sitting in jail right now. I am just so angry with him!! He has the nicest parents that you could have. He just screws them over again and again.

My prayer for him is that the Lord takes a hold of him and shakes him so badly that he will only know that it was the Lord who did it. Just for the Lord to lead him in the right direction. To appreciate his parents and what they do for him. And most of all that if he isnt saved, that the Lord would open his heart. Make him know that he isnt saved and make him repent of his sins.
Through God and God only can a person truely make a life change. This is what I pray for Seth.

I Love Weekends!!

Wow weekends are nice. This weekend was absolutely amazing!! No babysitting!! whooo!!!

On friday we had a fifth quarter which was really fun. We went bowling with the youth kids which is always a joy...haha....that was a bit sarcastic but not much!! Seriously though it was good. I only had a 108 and 116 but it was okay. The best thing about friday is that I only had to work for 3 hours which is nice considering all the things that are going on there.

On saturday all I did was have a lazy day with Sara Wood and Breanna. I loved it. Well then around 3:30 I went to Ethan's football game (which they won!!!) with Sherri, Kenzie, and JT. Its always fun to hang out with friends and watch football. :)

Then today, Sunday, we had church which was a different service order than we are used to. I thought that it went really well but thats just me. Our songs were very worshipful and awesome!!! Although I am struggling a little. I am supposed to be learning harmony, and I swear it will be the death of me!! It is sooo hard!! My whole life I have sung melody and now all of a sudden I'm supposed to learn it!? Ugh...its just frustrating. Then tonight we all went to mazzios which was DELICIOUS! We went with the Varbles, Woods, Hills, Lou, Sara T, Jordan T, Breanna, Jared, and Justin. It was fun.

This weekend I also learned that I will be going home (wisconsin) for Thanksgiving. I am very excited about it!! I really am going to pray hard that the Lord will give me the knowlegde and the wisdom to talk to my friends about salvation. I'm not a hundred percent sure if any of them have ever really heard the Gospel. So that is something that I am really looking forward to. I pray that they listen!!!

Falling behind..

Okay it has been WAY too long since I last blogged!! Things have just been so crazy lately!! Things are going on at work that are stressing me out, I had family come into town, and like everyone in my family was sick! It has just been a messy last few weeks!

But things are starting to chill out now so thats a relief!! I am really looking forward to this weekend. Well friday anyways. We are going to the Mountie vs. Heritage game!! Yay football! And then I might stay with my bff SARA!!! (I spelled it right Sara I'm SORRY!!) I have another friend named SaraH with an H and accidently typed the wrong name to Sara...I LOVE YOU Sara!!

And we just recently celebrated their 3rd year anniversary with us at Lakeside!! We are so blessed to have Lee and Sara!!! I Love them so much and I know that all the youth do too! I seriously don't know where I would be without my BFF Sara!! :)

Need To Take A Breath!!

What a crazy week!! Firstly Gram has been super sick!! Thank you to all who prayed for her!! She is finally getting better. We are not quite sure what she has/had but she has been sick since last sunday!! It has been awful having her feel sick! I hate to see someone I love not feeling well..

Secondly, my aunt Kim will be here on wednesday and I still have lots of stuff to get done before she gets here! I am very excited to see her! It has been a while since I have seen her!! And I took friday off...double awesome!! She isn't really my aunt, she's actually my brothers' God mother..but ya know..whatever!!

And finally today, I had to go talk to my bosses boss to talk about some things that were bothering me. I was super scared because the last person who talked to him about something was fired/quit. Luckily, I have a very secure spot with my job and I have the Lord on my side and He never leaves me! But all went well and now I just have to talk to my boss about everything and hope that goes well. Prayers would be lovely!! :) It went really well talking with my bosses boss so hopefully my boss will see my side. It's not like I am trying to make her feel bad, just trying to help her understand some things that us teachers are concerned about.

Can't everyone just love one another and just get along!! :)

Wonderful Weekend!!

God has definately blessed this weekend!! Sunday morning was AMAZING!! So first off we had a crazy weird morning worship, thanks to the Praise Team..which includes me so I can say that! haha. But we were all off, Sara's mic fell off at the bottom, we didn't any of us know where we were sometimes. It was just a MESS!! But that just shows how much God DOESNT need us! We had 3 people come down for salvations and 3 baptisms. God is good!!

Then if that wasn't enough, we did our cardboard testimonies. Talk about moving!! I have never seen so many people, MEN included, cry during church. It was amazing! Me and my sister sang Revelation Song while the first half of them went up, then we did ours, and then we all walked down. Once everyone was done we all walked back up to the stage and stood there with our "after" sides facing the audience. It was just so great!

After church we usually go to Mazzio's, which we did, but then we all decided to go play ultimate frisbee. My muscles are sore let me tell you! But that was probably the most fun I have had in a long time. And we only lost by one point mind you. ONE point! I even body sacrificed. I was pretty awesome if I do say so myself! Well time to go get ready for the day! and coffee number two!

Oh Weekend How I Love You!!

I am going to get my new bedroom furniture very soon!!! I can't wait!! I am so excited!! I also can't wait for tomorrow because it's FRIDAY! And for once, I am not babysitting this weekend!! AND I have monday off work. Life is GOOD!
Today was super stressful. I am so glad to be home to just sit and relax. My kids at work were very cranky and whiney and wouldn't nap! Makes Ms. Kylie not too happy!! My class and the class next door had to combine today for naps and let me tell you, 17 students to 1 teacher...NOT a good combo!!
But this weekend is going to be good. Me and my sister are singing Revelation Song on sunday morning, I think we are going shopping on saturday with my family too so that will be great! Tomorrow night is the first Mounties Game so that great too!

AWANA's

Okay so tomorrow we are going visiting for AWANA's and frankly, I am a little bit nervous. Not to visit, but to direct the Sparks. I just pray that I will do what I am supposed to and do it right. Obviously this is what God wants me to be doing, I just hope that I can do it justice. The only reason I do it, well not the only reason, but the most important is because I want the children to develop a relationship with Christ. It is just SO amazing to see young children saved. They are just so immune to life yet, and its great to be able to see them grow with Christ and through Christ, and live the way He wants them to. I know that MY life would have been much better had I walked with God through my teenage years. But I also wouldn't be the person I am today. God has a plan and purpose for everyone. :)

First Time

Okay, my first blog...here it goes!!

So today we had church, which I LOVE!! and I am on the Praise Team, but unfortunately my voice is just not up to par today! I have been fighting a allergy attack/cold for a few days now do my voice is really week. I just prayed that God would let my voice hold out so I could sing, and I think I did pretty well this morning!! Praise Him!!

Then after church my family, the Turleys, and the Williams all went to Sam's Burger place and waited there for TWO, yes I said TWO hours!!! FOR BURGERS!!! It was ridiculous! I doubt we will be going back there any time soon. It was a great time of fellowship though!

Well its back to church for me here in a few. I have Praise Team practice then Choir practice then actual church.
