Glory Hour

I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted but I’ve been so busy. I’ve had youth band practice, puppet practice, and then just school altogether. So I guess I’m just gonna have to start from the beginning of what’s been going on starting with last week and the puppets.

Last week we worked like really hard to shorten down our skit we were working on for this Sunday to do in front of the whole church. So unfortunately we had to cut out some stuff but we still did really well today and it was funny. Also last Thursday my dad and a couple of other guys from the church helped us out by building a portable puppet stage for this morning and future puppet ministry, so all of us were really excited about that. If you want to check out our puppet team you can go to http://www.houseofgracepuppets.synthesite.com.

A couple of weeks ago we finally got our band to where we could perform on Wednesday nights. So we’ve been working really hard on getting a lot of songs learned and everything, but we came upon a problem of were all the words we had printed out were disappearing so yesterday I typed up all the songs that we know and are working on and put them all organized in a folder.

Now for the reason of my title glory hour, oh my goodness this last Wednesday was amazing the holy spirit was in that room while Andrea was preaching and in the alter. We had people get filled with the Holy Spirit, slain in the spirit, messages spoken to them, and so much more I don’t even know anything that happened. All I can say is we’ve all been talking about it since then especially me. I wish ya’ll could have been there to experience it. Another thing I know and most of the church has come to realize is a revival is coming and you’ve heard it it’s going to start in the youth and it’s even become more noticeable now. Our youth is getting ready everyone needs to get ready for God to come because he’s coming and he’s not holding back.


God bless you!!!!

Wazoo

Wow I hadn't realized how long it had been sinced I'd posted anything. So anyway Fine Arts went great. I can't believe I didn't get to post about it yet but I know lots of other people who are on my friends have.

I've been like crazy busy out the wazoo. As soon as I got back from North Carolina I had school on the Monday after and since then I've had no time. I've had tons of homework, band practice at church, and puppet practice too. I've had lots going on. I didn't even get to go to the zoo with my family this last Saturday cause I've been so busy. I ended up having to stay home and do chores and homework all weekend I really haven't gotten to talk to anyone. It's kind of ridiculous.

Sorry this is all I could post today I'll try to post more later on this week. Like I said I've been busy out the wazoo. So post more later.

God Bless You!!!

Nationals

So we’re all leaving for Nationals today in North Carolina. Here’s the fun part though because we aren’t leaving until midnight. So this should be a fun trip I really can’t wait to see everyone again because I haven’t seen them since districts really so this should be a fun week hopefully. Amazingly I can’t think of anything else to say other than this so this is a short blog for you to read. Yay!!!

God Bless You!!!

Exodus

Well I was reading in my bible today and so far I’ve gotten to the book of Exodus, and it was talking about after Moses had led the Israelites out of Egypt and God wanted Aaron and his sons to become priest for him and it was going on and on about everything that had to be done for the consecrations and it was supposed to take seven days to complete and tons of things that had to be built and everything had to be done a certain way. Then I started thinking God wants you to do something he doesn’t want you to go about and solving or doing something your own way but he wants you to do it in the way he tells you he just wants you to listen and follow his commands.

For example when Moses was told to call water out of a rock for God’s people well Moses didn’t follow what God said. He struck the rock with his staff now in this instance God allowed the water to come out of the rock but if you do something your own way that doesn’t mean it will work out like you want it to. Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe everything will go down spiral and turn out the worst way possible. You never know but that’s just what I had on my mind today.

God Bless You in everyway today!!!

So Far So Good

Well so far this week has been really good, but the fun ends tomorrow if I were even having fun at all. My summer always consist of babysitting from dusk til dawn. But it ends tomorrow cause then we start youth band practice and we don't even have a lead guitar of a keyboard player so it's going to be hard no having anyone play lead unless the guy who is supposed to play guitar miraculously shows up then that would be really nice.

Then Fine Arts is in a couple of weeks. I really need to work harder on learning my sermon, but I don't know why but it just seems hard but I'm really going to try. Although I am looking forward to fine arts cause I know it's going to be a blast I mean come on PlanetShakers is going to be there again this year and they are amazing.

After fine arts though we get back on a friday right after that school starts on monday, but I really am looking forward to that because I haven't seen most of them in a really long time and I can't wait to see and hang out with all my friends cause I mean come on who doesn't have awesome friends?

But on top of all this I still need to find a job. I know I've filled out like 10 applications already this week so I'm hoping I get a call back from one of them so wish me luck.

God Bless You!!!

Wow

Hey sorry I didn't realize I hadn't posted in so long but my internet has been actin crazy and whenever I had anything worth talkin about my internet was down and all messed up. Then I kindof forgot my password for my blog but I think we should be good now since I have it all figured out. So here's what's been going on lately.

Well were getting a youth band started at my church and I think that's kindof cool cause I've known the drummer and the bass player my whole life so it's really cool. I get to sing along with two new friends who are pretty cool. I think we have a lead guitar player but I'm not quite sure cause I haven't seen him at church for a couple of weeks, but what I have heard him play he's not bad but he has a lot he can learn from other people I know. We had our first practice a couple of weeks ago and it went pretty well. It was so annoying though cause we all knew this one song and it wasn't like we were learning a new one but we sang and played "Trading my Sorrows" for an hour and a half, but were going to start learning some new songs this next Wednesday at practice.

Our youth group is getting ready to start raising money to go to Youth Convention this year. I'm so excited for it to cause it's back in Nashville again which is a big help which means we won't have to stay in a hotel but it's a lot of fun walking around the mall.

National Fine Arts is coming up in August and I am so excited. I'm really kind of nervous too because there are so many talented people there it makes you nervous.

Hope ya'll have a great day and God bless you

Indiana Jones

So I know I haven't posted lately, but there hasn't been much going on until this last weekent that is.

Friday was our End of School Bash here at my house. It was a ton of fun. I had a couple of friends that don't go to my church come over snd as far as I know they had fun. Jessica was going to come so we could hang out before she went to Equador, but she had to stay home and clean. So that was okay though cause she is down there now I think. But Friday we had a small devotional and a time of worship around the fire and it was amazing how everyone just entered in, in my own backyard. So that was how Friday was, oh and we even had SMORES!!!! Whoo hoo!!!!

Saturdaywas fun too. My friend's birthday was a couple of weeks ago so to celebrate we all went to go see the new Indiana Jones. It was pretty good, I thought, but I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it. So it was fun there and then we all went to Sonic and hung out and just talked.

So now that ya'll know how my weekend was this is what I have actually coming up this summer. I'll just tell ya right now pretty much nothing. I'm trying to get a job either at Sonic or the oldest living Dairy Queen in Tennessee since I'm not going to camp. I'm trying to save up money so that I have some when I need it. So hopefully I'll get hired and then I have National Fine Arts in August and of course there is baby-sitting during the day all summer long. Hope your summer is better than mine.

God Bless You!!!
