If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it!

Siiiick :(

It's been four months since I posted. Whoa.

There has been so much that has gone on since June, and I am not going to post about it all.

I do wanna say that I got to go to the Assembly this year. Not all of it, but Thursday-Saturday night! It was AMAZING! The VLB service was so good! Lots of things happened and I'm super thankful.
Oh, and I got to meet some new friends! And hang out with some old friends that I hadn't seen in forever! It was an awesome three days and I'm so thankful that I was able to go.


Umm.. last Saturday I was asked to sign to a song that Morgan was singing at Minister's convention. I learned the song in two weeks and I was SO nervous the morning that I had to do it! Everything went smoothly, thank the Lord.

Hmm.. oh. I've playing soccer this fall! We've already played several games and it has been super fun! I love it. I play defense and I've actually gotten better :)


I'm sick right now :( I've got some kind of stupid cold. It's so annoying. My nose is either stuffed up or running all the time and I just feel horrible. :(
I hope I'm better by Monday. I am supposed to have a soccer game Monday and I don't wanna feel really horrible at my soccer game! I refuse to sit out though. Haha. Oh joy. My nose will probably start running like crazy during the game.
We'll see :/

Blogging is so boring nowadays. Facebook is so much better!

Speaking of facebook, all my friends are leaving me so I'm gonna get off the computer and drink some chocolate milk and watch How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I watched it yesterday but I love it oh-so much! :)

Later :)

k.

"Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life; and to say a man lives a life of faith, and yet lives a prayerless life, is every bit as inconsistent and incredible as to say that a man lives without breathing."- Jonathan Edwards

Guess what?

... It's been over a month since I last posted, so I'm posting.

I leave for camp Sunday! I'm getting excited :) I'm sad that I'll be away from my mom for a few days though :( But, I know it's going to be a GREAT camp. The Lord is going to bless, I know it. I can't wait to see what He's going to do in His people!

Well.. It's summer, and I'm lovin' it! The days go by super fast 'cause I sleep in so late. Ha. I need to start sleeping a little less I think...

It's sooo humid here though, it kills me. I want a tan soooo bad though. *sigh*

Umm. I've been reading lots lately. I finally finished the book "Twilight" so now I'm onto "New Moon". I'm not a reader AT ALL, but I've liked these books a lot :) I haven't been reading this one long, I read it for like two days a few weeks ago, but only to chapter three.
The past.. three or four days, I've been reading like all day.. and now I'm on chapter thirteen! In all, so far, I've read three-hundred pages! Woo. That's so unlike me.
Reading all day is better than being on the computer all day, right? :)

So, I miss my best friend! I saw her last night, and I've seen her a few times this week, but it's been like a week since we really spent TIME together, just Katie-Morgan time! :( I don't know whaaaat I'm gonna do when she goes on vacation! *sigh*.


Um.... Well, Wednesday night after church, some of the Youth went to Burger King.. I was like all ready to pay for mine and all, and then my brother was like "If I'm paying for yours, you better hurry up and decide" is that not great? He pays for me alllllll the time now, since he has a job. I got a MEDIUM chocolate shake [oh my word. the biggest. chocolate shake. of. my. life. Burger King's "medium" shakes.. are like.. HUGE.], and I got a medium fry.
::

You can't tell from the picture really how big the shake was, but whew! It was HUGE!

Well, this is a pretty good post, huh? Especially after not posting for over a month.

I'm gonna get off and probably go shower and then read some more.


~k~

Because it's been so long since I last posted..

And I should probably post. I just am never in the mood for it! And when I DO post, no one comments so I don't even know if people READ it! So um.. Yeah. I don't have much I feel like posting about.. I'm not in the mood.. Of course I never am, as I stated before. I could always ramble.. but nah.

Gosh I'm so exhausted!

Later. :P

~k~

*When in doubt....... Pray!*

More Importance.

If He brings you to it, He WILL bring you through it!

Simple But Important.

JESUS LOVES YOU!!

Real post?

Why not?...

Umm.. I'll start from.. Last Monday I guess.. Morgan and I [with Mrs. Tammy's help] decided to make a record of spending the week together..

She spent the night with me Monday.
I spent the night with her Tuesday.
I spent the night with her Wednesday.
She spent the night with me Thursday.
She spent the night with me Friday.

And we weren't apart during that time period.

Amazing, right?

And we didn't even get that annoyed with each other! Sometimes we'll start fighting a little bit.. And just be like "I want to punch you in the face" and just be soooo... not happy... with each other.. and when that happens, it's never good. And Tuesday we went and played some indoor soccer with a few people and we started getting in a fight.. But that only lasted about one and a half to two hours then we were good again. Ha.

Wednesday morning we had Spanish class.. ick.. And then Wednesday night was church!

Thursday afternoon we had High School Musical practice.. That play is going to be SO fun! The practices are super fun and last Thursday's was especially fun.. We started blocking scenes. We only got through a few scenes.. But it was still fun!

Friday was tutorial.. Woke up early, stayed all day, didn't get home till like... five-thirty..ish I guess..

Morgan and I went to bed semi-early.. thankfully.

Saturday Justin had an indoor soccer tournament ALL DAY. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! The Aaron Academy Royals [Justin's soccer team] were split into two different teams because they had so many players.. Some of the day, while at least one of the teams weren't playing.. I'd go in the gym area with them and play soccer and just mess around with them.. Play keep away.. That kind of stuff.. SO MUCH FUN!
I talked with some friends for a while and I found out that SOME people can make me laugh simply by pointing at me. Well, they can make me smile. I can contain my laughter. I enjoyed hanging with those friends..

That night I came home and CRASHED. I had been up since ten till seven and I was EXHAUSTED having been on my feet ALL day.. So I fell asleep about nine-thirty. SHEW!

Sunday was church.. woot! Sunday school and morning service were really good, as always! And in between services I came home and took a two or three hour nap.. and the rest of the time I was just lying in my bed thinking and daydreaming... ahh! :) Then back to evening service I went! We had a prayer service for the revival that is starting Friday night and going through Sunday night.. It's gonna be good!

Today.. I got to sleep in till about nine.. and I got up, ate breakfast, showered, and had to go to the Chiropractor. I was SO freaked out about the chiropractor because I was afraid it was going to hurt.. But they did several things.. Some kind of electrical therapy something? And then he adjusted my neck and my headache has been better throughout the day! AHH! It makes me super happy!

I came home and did school and such and that's about all that has happened this past week.

I'm going now.

Way too much typing.

Getting off the computer will be good for me, for sure.


Yes, I took this picture. :) I love how it turned out. Is my best friend not GORGEOUS??

~k~

Uhmm...

Yes.. I know it's been almost two weeks.. since I posted that I would post soon.. and I still haven't.. and I still don't feel like it..

So here I am, posting. Woot.

haha.

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

[[and I do too!!]]

Amazing love, how can it be.. That You my King would die for me?

~k~

Peace that passes All understanding.

I've been worrying a lot about something the past couple of days... and all of the sudden, just now, I felt a Peace come over me. I am so thankful for this. I am tired of worrying.. and I've needed a break from it. God has given me that break. Thank You Lord! I wish words could explain how wonderful this is. I am not going to let the devil scare me with stuff that might not even HAPPEN anymore! He doesn't have control over me, unless I give it to him.

The other day when I was scared to death, crying, I started singing the song "Trust In The Lord" by Point of Grace. You know how it goes! "Trust, Trust in the Lord, lean not on your own understanding.. in all, all of your ways acknowledge Him, He'll make your path straight.." [you can google the rest of the lyrics if you don't know them] and that helped some.. but I was still scared. I had no peace WHATSOEVER about this certain situation.. but.. after going to several people for prayer.. and praying a lot myself, I finally have that Peace. I know God is going to take care of me no matter what, and I WILL keep trusting Him and have faith that He will take care of me because I Know He will.

I am so thankful for my friends. Without them, I'd be nothing.

To my friends:
You are the best friends ever. Words cannot explain how much you mean to me. I wouldn't be able to live my life, day by day, without amazing friends like you. I am blessed to know each and every one of you and I am always here for you, whenever you need me. I thank each and every one of you for the difference you've made in my life. I love all of you tons!

**Prayer request** PLEASE pray for my headaches to go away completely!! They are STILL not gone!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Love yall!

~k~

**Blessing: My amazing friends, and the Truth that I know.

My best friend (:

Morgan Fox is my BEST friend in the whole world. Me and her have been through A LOT together but I think that each thing that happens makes us STRONGER. We have been friends since we were 2 years old! We are going to be the old ladies in the nursing home causing all the trouble- I can just see it! HA!

Anywho.

Morgan; I know I've told you this before.. But you are my BEST friend EVER and we are GOING to be best friends for EVER and EVER and I thank the Lord for you! If it weren't for you.. I think I'd be INSANE.. Or maybe I'd be sane? Considering all the INSANE things we do together! HA! You will always be my Spongebob.. and I will always be your........ Squidward. Which is really funny. Have you ever noticed how Squidward does NOT like Spongebob in the 'Spongebob' series??? But we're really best friends.. bahaha.

Anyyywaysss. You are my sister of the heart. We are so alike but so different in so many ways! But that's okay, 'cause we have the tightest bond ever. That bond will NEVER break! It will just grow stronger as our friendship grows stronger and we get closer and closer and closer! I can't wait till we.. or at least YOU can drive! ONLY [almost] TWO YEARS! WOOHOO! haha. We'll be going EVERYWHERE together!!!!!!!


Ahhh! Thank you for all the good times that we have had together.. and all the memories that we have made! I could never ask for a better best friend! I am blessed to know you, but better yet.. I get to be your best friend too! I am oh so blessed for that.

I honestly hope and pray for you to find God's Perfect Will in your life. I look up to you greatly. You are ALREADY a very strong young woman of God.. I admire you so much. You never quit because you are so determined. You bless everyone you speak to.. and even those that just see you. You are beautiful inside and out.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!




~Katiebug/Squidward~



I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you wanna go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.
But more than anything, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah, yeah.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish (my wish, for you).

This is my wish (my wish, for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you (my wish, for you).
May all your dreams stay big (my wish, for you).

God is great! :]

Soo.. I guess I should post..

We had a Revival at our church Thursday night through Sunday night, and it was amazing! I am SO thankful that I got to be there every service! I was blessed GREATLY! God did some amazing things. I don't remember everything that happened.. But I do know we had SEVERAL people get closer with the Lord :) Brother Hawkins preached some AWESOME messages!
Brother Sutton had asked Morgan and I to sing and sign on Saturday night... and I was freaking out. Morgan and I decided to do our new song, which I had just learned like three days before that... It was "Who Am I?" by Casting Crowns. I could really feel the anointing, although I forgot the words in the FIRST verse and stopped for a minute [yes, ON STAGE] and then just did a random sign. haha. Which, in fact, turned out to be the wrong one. :/ oops. But no one really noticed.. After it was over and I walked off stage I went to the bathroom and cried. Morgan followed after me and gave me a "pep talk".. what are best friends for? :) It did help, but I was still REALLY upset.

Umm.. oh. Going back to Friday night.. we [meaning like.. everyone from church] went out to eat at ihop after service was over. It was tons of fun. And then some of the girls.. Crystal, Emily, Chelsei, Morgan, Gracee, Brennan, and I [hopefully I didn't miss anyone.. :/.. ] went back to Crystal and Emily's apartment and had a 'girl's night'! It was SO MUCH FUN!

Going forward to Sunday.. Sunday school was VERY good! Emily's lesson was really good [like always]! We are memorizing scriptures so that if we get asked about something, we can quote a scripture to help someone.. I think it's a really good idea!

Ummm... Sunday morning service was REALLY good! I didn't sit through the whole thing because I was watching Sara Riddell and she kept getting fussy so I took her in the back and entertained her. She is the cutest thing EVER! I love her soooo much!

Sunday morning service was also very long. It lasted till like.. 3 p.m. I think. So when I came home I was STARVING and exhausted so I ate and took about an hour long nap and then headed back to our last revival service. It was also, very VERY good! The Lord moved!

All in all, the revival was AMAZING and I am VERY thankful for it!!

Um. So yesterday I was suppose to have a make-up spanish class, but my mom forgot about it, and then cancelled it to let me sleep. Yay. :) when I woke up I did school and everything.. and then I went and played soccer with some friends! (Yes in the freezing cold!) umm. I'm gonna try to remember the people that went. Crystal, Brandon, Tyler, Jordan, Chandler, Morgan, Matt Haynes, Bethany Haynes [two of our friends from soccer and tutorial], Josh, Justin, and me. [hope I'm not forgetting anyone..]

it was SO cold! but, SOOOO FUN! It got dark on us but we still played :) It's never too cold or dark for soccer :P haha.

After that, we went back to Crystal's and watched a movie. Vantage Point I THINK was the name of it. I REALLY like that movie! It was very entertaining.


Um, my headaches have been getting better and better and while I was praying some during the revival, my head stopped hurting COMPLETELY! THANK THE LORD!!! :)


Um. So I'm tired of posting.
Later.

~k~

Blessing-- My headaches getting better and better and better and better!! :)

Blessed beyond Belief

Have you ever truly thought about how BLESSED you REALLY ARE?

When I think about it, I consider the things I have:

I have a house to live in
A bed to sleep in
Wonderful parents who love me
The best friends in the world
An AMAZING Church family
I am a member of The Church of God
I KNOW Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

and the list goes on and on..

I take for granted, VERY OFTEN what I have.

I complain about it. "Why does this always happen to me? It's not fair"
But was it really FAIR for Jesus to get crucified for MY sins?

He didn't have to do that.

He gave up His own life for MY sins.

I know you've heard and can probably all quote John 3:16.

But think about it. Think about how God gave His ONLY son so WE could have Everlasting life.

Does that not get you excited? Man, it gets me really excited! I do NOT deserve anything at all. But He loved me enough to give His life for my sins so I can have an Eternal Life in Heaven with Him.

I am VERY excited for what the Lord has in store for His Church this coming year! This is The Year Of Miracles, I know it!
There have already been Several miracles and it's only January 19th! Ahh!

This Thursday night starts our Revival at Antioch! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I cannot WAIT! It is going to be AMAZING! I am expecting the Lord to do many things! The Revival goes through Sunday night I think. YAY!

[These were some of my notes taken from a few church services lately...]

The most powerful awesome weapon in the world today is The Word of God. So get your weapon out!
Don't underestimate the power of The Word!

The Word of God is not only a weapon, it's a light.

You have GOT to be In The Word.

We all have to live in the world, but we don't have to be Of the world.

Do you want The Word hammered into your heart? I sure do.

Deception causes us not to have power. But if we have The Word hidden in our hearts, we will Always have power through Jesus Christ.

It is powerless if the devil deceives you.

You can't be built on rocky ground!

A pure heart is going to be a POWERFUL heart!

If you lack power in your life, you still have hardness in your heart.

Heaven is Not a fairy tale, it is Real and True.

We don't need to be weak Christians! We need to be STRONG Christians!

We as Christians need to Keep Moving Forward!

You can live up to the standard of the Bible if you live your life for Him.

We can't live up to the standard of the Word of God without the Power of God.

It takes the anointing of the Holy Ghost to make people want to serve God!

Don't force people to learn The Word. It won't do anything unless they have been anointed by The Holy Ghost. They will not understand anything and they will be difficult and cause drama unless the Holy Ghost reveals it to them.

There is NO shame in praying!!

God can and WILL deliver you from discouragement.

--
There are always going to be things in our lives that we don't understand, but we have to keep seeking God for those and asking him to reveal stuff to us to HELP us understand more and more.
-----
Oh. My headaches are getting better. Don't feel like posting much about them, but they are getting somewhat better. The doctor is decreasing my medicine. YAY! KEEP PRAYING PLEASE! I want them gone ALL THE WAY!

Sooo... I don't have much else to post about.. so I'm done for now.


Are you ready for Jesus to come back? Will you be ready when those trumpets sound?



[Me and Morgannnn. I love her!]

~k~

Headache

please pray. urgh. my head has been really good.. but all of a sudden, just now, it got REALLY bad and now it's killing me. i've got a rag on my head and i'm just praying and hoping it goes away, or at least some.

thanks.

love yall.

~k~

VERY encouraged!

Okay, so, my headaches are DEFINITELY getting better! I can tell a difference for sure! On a scale from 1-10.. last night about 11:30 it only hurt about a 1! BARELY ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! THANK THE LORD! I KNOW He is going to heal me COMPLETELY of these and I am VERY encouraged now! Right now it only hurts about a 2.. maybe 3!

God is GREAT!!

Just thought I'd inform y'all. :)

Thanks for praying! Keep on doing it!

Later!

~k~

Discouraged..

Still don't know about these headaches. They gave me medicine to take.. And it was supposed to take the headaches away in a week.. and it didn't. So I'm taking the medicine for another week, plus two Aleve two times a day.. STILL having headaches. I don't know if these headaches are EVER going to go away. It's so discouraging. I do want to Praise the Lord that I woke up in the night last night, and had absolutely NO headache. That was I think the first time in a month that I've been WITHOUT a headache.

Of course, I woke up with a headache this morning. Earlier it didn't hurt that bad, but right now it's hurting REALLY bad.

Please say a prayer that these headaches STOP. I need relief.


I had a meeting for High School Musical [the play that my tutorial is putting on] today. It was pretty boring O:)

Tomorrow morning I have tutorial. BLEGH! I have to wake up early and it's just.. not fun.

Tomorrow night I have a Band Service at Sis. Amy's. I'm excited. I love getting together with my prayer band.

Also tomorrow, my grandmother is coming in. She's been in Mississippi since a week after Thanksgiving. She's just staying here till Sunday morning and then she's going home to Ohio. She might be sleeping in my room which means I'll have to sleep in my parent's floor :( Sad day.
Pray for the Lord to convict her soul. She's a smoker.. and an alcoholic I think and she needs Jesus. She has health problems and I want her to go to Heaven.. but that's not where she's headed right now.

Uh. The medicine I have to take makes me hungry all the time.. I've had FOUR meals today! And not little meals either! ICK! I'm a fatty! Urgh stupid medicine!

I don't really have a "New Year's Resolution".. I made a prayer list that I pray for usually every morning and night. But that wasn't a New Year's Resolution.. it was just something I decided to do. I really get into the Spirit of Praying and I love it. I believe that 2009 IS THE year of Miracles! I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store! I started a few months back, reading my Bible all the way through.. and reading a chapter or so a night. I'm still in Genesis :/ I was slacking a few months ago but I finally have a DESIRE to read my Bible and it's INTERESTING to me! I thank the Lord for this desire.

I am NOT trying to brag on myself with what I just said.. It's just something I'm VERY thankful for. Remember that song we used to sing back in Children's Church and Gleaners .....

"if you read your Bible and pray every day.. pray every day.. pray every day.. if you read your Bible and pray every day then you will grow, grow, grow...... if you don't read your Bible and pray every day.. pray every day.. pray every day.. if you don't read your Bible and pray every day then you will shrink, shrink, shrink..."
...
or something along the lines of that? Well.. that's the truth. I know it's just a silly action song for kids.. but it's the truth when you think about it. I was shrinking in the Lord because I wasn't being FAITHFUL to reading my Bible and praying every day.
So now I'm trying to be more faithful. All I want to do is praise the Lord and serve Him all the days of my life.

Have you been faithful in doing so?

Well. I've gotta go make cookies with my mom for my teacher I think.. Have a great night.

Love you all!

Devotion from January 2

Is it working? Your belief system? Is it really working? God's intention all along has been for His children to succeed. So I ask you, is your Christian life feeling successful? Are you achieving and experiencing what Scripture says you would? God stated unapologetically that conditions exist under which "you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do." But the only way we are going to impact our generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians, I'm convinced it's real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works.

Scripture reference: Joshua 1:8.

The devotion book was written by Beth Moore. "Believing God" Day By Day---- rowing your faith all year long.

Devotion from January 1

January 1

This book is about developing an action verb faith. It's about getting out there where we can feel the wind of God's Spirit blowing in our faces. It's about learning that we don't have to put down the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to raise up the Shield of Faith.
The way I see it, that's why God gave us two hands. If we want to live abundantly, we must pick up both. To pick up the Sword of the Spirit without the Shield of Faith is to shrivel and dry up in the desert of legalism. To pick up the Shield of Faith without the Sword of the Spirit is to try walking on quicksand.

Scripture reference: Ephesians 6:16-17


~k~

[I got this devotion book for Christmas. It is awesome. I am thankful for it. It was written by Beth Moore. "Believing God Day By Day Growing your faith all year long." is what all it says on the front..]
