Hot Hearts and Some Studying

Our Peachtree Crew! minus Leslie, she was sick :(

Aaron and I at like 8 am going on about 4 hours of sleep

On Friday night Aaron and I had the privilege to attend Hot Hearts 2010 with our Church's youth group. I for one had NEVER been to anything like that before so I had no idea what to expect. One word.....AWESOME!! It was so good. I got to hear some amazing music (Toby Mac and Lincoln Brewster) and some amazing sermons from a man out of North Carolina, Clayton King. I got to room with two Junior High girls which was different but I was glad I got to know them a little better.

On another note I have been doing a bible study for a couple of weeks. It has taken me some time to get into it and I L-O-V-E!!! Last night I was looking through everything I had said and refreshing my memory about a few things and I was reminded of two verses from Romans 5:6-8

6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Stop and sit on that for a minute, it gave me chills! It is so amazingly true. I love God and all He has done not only for me but for you too! Happy Monday!

What's with you?!?

That was the question I was asked a few days ago and have been pondering. I didn't respond to this question right away because I didn't know how to respond, until today.
As I am sure all 1 of you that read my blog know I am a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) and I have what's called 3rd grade lunch duty (woo-hoo) one of the ladies I work with asked me this question and today I asked her what did you mean.
Her response~ "you're just so happy all the time".
My response~ "REALLY?!?, um why not be happy? Aren't you?"
Her~ "No, I hate this place."

Then we had to break so we could tend to juice spills and children that forget their sporks.

I have been sitting here and thinking about this on my lunch break and my response...
God!

Now, let me explain this a little better. I mean sure I got saved and baptized a few years ago but there was just something missing. So here in the last 4 months I have really dug in my heels and stopped to listen, pray, and read my bible. It has been so incredibly AH-MAZING!! I can't even begin to explain how I feel and my excitement for each new day. I mean don't get me wrong I am not walking around with a smile plastered on my face being all giddy and sure sometimes I get upset or frustrated but then I have to stop and remember why I am here and is this how I want to be...no! So that's my response, hopefully you get it too :)
