Blood-Line

There is so much life and history behind the eyes of my family but it's hard to get it.

I've been wanting to know more about my family but I really don't know where to start! I know my blood line travels back somewhere but I don't know where. I love my family and what to know who my people are. I kind of gave up because not too many people wanted to help and I simply didn't know how to find information.

Through all of the searching and information I did gain, I found out about a lot of people and some of them even stay in my city. Now the sad part about that is, I still haven't met any of them yet and it's been almost a year!! That's my fault :( but I plan to pick all of this back up very soon!!! I want to know who are my people and where I come from. Through the searching and phone calls, I did find out about two people I'm related to that I already knew. That was exciting but there are still so many more people I have to meet!!!

Wish me luck!!! Here I go...

Recently, I was challenged by someone's life and it made me think. No matter how much training you receive, it still doesn't make you better than the next person.

The Lord showed me myself and it wasn't good. He showed me that I think to highly of myself. I think I am above people when I am no better!! It doesn't matter how much training I've gotten if I'm not doing anything with it!! Extra training does not mean that you're better than anyone!!

This entire thing came about because I viewed this person as someone not as spiritually mature as me. I was comparing this person to some people I knew, plus those people had been to some of the same camps and conferences so I was placing this person in that category. I expected this person to act a certain way when that's not how it should be. I was checking out their resume but I was looking at the wrong one! I was checking the external verses the internal!

Your growth in Christ is not determined by the amount of events you've been apart of, it's about a true heart filled relationship with the Lord!! You're just like everyone else that think they're Christians if the only thing you're worried about is what looks good to the human eye.

Who is right in God's sight:
          the person that's "on s/he face daily before the Lord"
                                       OR
          the person that's "been to all of the conferences, mission trips and etc."

God truly showed me my heart and humbled me!

¡Take Off!

The day has finally come that I leave for Australia. I can't believe it's finally here and I'm about to fly alone all the way to Australia and change planes twice! This has truly been an experience and The Lord has truly done work to get me here because I doubted that I would get here. God completely turned things around the week of SpringBreak and it was amazing. Monday-I was able to buy my plane ticket, collect another donation and register for the conference; Tuesday-Thursday raffle tickets continued to be sold; then Friday- The raffle ended and from the raffle there was about $600 raised! #Amazing Right!! I was in complete shock because I honestly didn't think that much was going to raised from the raffle alone!!! Praise God because it was HolySpirit who told me to do it on a Friday morning and so much has came from that! I'm happy and thankful for everyone and everything!!!

Thank You again everyone for stepping in to help me!!

THANK YOU

This has definitely been journey getting here and there has been some bumps in the road but I made it here! Thank you to everyone because it is because of you that I've made it this far! I went from Excitement-Doubt-WhiteFlag-HolySpirit telling me if I want it I have work-Completely Depending On God Provide If This Is Where He Wanted and it's been interesting. The raffle went great and raised a lot more money then I expected and many more people donated to make this happen!

So again thank you so much for showing me how many people I truly have on my team!! 😃😃😃
