God is at it again!! : )

it's been a long time since i have blogged...i don't have wifi at my house and our home computer is verrrrry slow and i hate using it. so i never do. But I'm house/dog sitting this week and thankfully they have wifi..so now I'm going to blog : )

It's so amazing how God works. & lately, i just feel like God has been working in my heart like crazy! i have realized so many things in the past few weeks. I never thought a radio station could basically change my life. I have been listening to a station called KLOVE. Its a christian station, and i never really heard of it until I was driving home from school one day and was looking for a good radio station to listen to. & it stopped on KLOVE. & ever since then i don't think i have listened to any other station. It's soooooo good! & i absolutely love listening to it. It honestly helps me get through my day, no matter what kind of day I'm having. I've been in a big slump lately-struggling with so many different things. & they are things that are WAY out of my control. But i can't stand the thought of feeling like I'm not in control. & i felt like my life was going downhill at a fast speed. But every time i get in my car and listen to KLOVE I'm reminded that God is in control. & if i put my faith in him, he will get me through the hard times. Also, people call in all the time and share their stories about how God has been working in them. A few Weeks ago i heard a story about a woman named Shay Kelly who started a project called "project 50/50. She is in the process of traveling to 50 states in 50 weeks and is collecting non-perishable items for the homeless. She starts with the states capital and then goes to surrounding cities...If you wanna read more about it, go to www.ShayKelly.com < it's truly inspiring! & hearing that made me so overwhelmed by God. I want to do something big with my life. Something that doesn't help me, but it helps others. I wanna spread the love of Jesus Christ throughout the world. I WANNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! & I'm sooo determined! I have always had a place in my heart for Haiti, My freshman year of high school, i felt like God was calling me to be a missionary in Haiti, and meeting with different missionaries from Haiti at the Camp i worked for last summer (Rainbow Christian Camp) made me feel like God is truly calling me to do something in Haiti, it may not be becoming a full time missionary, but i know I'm meant to do something there & help make a difference. Listening and reading to what Shay is doing made me realize that i could do something like that. I would love to do what she is doing, only instead of collecting non-perishable items, i would love to collect peanut butter. Peanut Butter? < i know why would i collect peanut butter....well I believe with every tablespoon (not sure on the measurement) but something like that) of peanut butter a child in Haiti is nourished. That is one of the main problems in Haiti, is malnourishment. & something as simple as peanut butter can help bring them out of that. I just can't even imagine how much peanut butter i could collect within a year and how many children it will help! I'm so determined to do something like this it's unreal. it literally brings tears to my eyes when i think about this. God is working guys. & it feels INCREDIBLE!!!! I just need prayer and support- I WANNA DO THIS! i just don't even know where to begin. It will take a lot of work, but it's totally worth it in the end. That's all for now : )
