It's gonna take patience and time...

This is a George Harrison song that I don't think I have ever heard before yesterday. Its one of those weird songs that mom wonders why in the world i chose IT to get stuck in my head. But she isn't here.... :D

It's about time for a post so....

Today was Josh and Tesia's LAST young peoples service.

Josh said alot of good stuff but one thing he said was

"People who leave [the church] do NOT have better lives"

I think that has proven itself out many many times.

Sadly.



Jeremy went on to say that

"Sin is not what it appears to be".



The devil sure plays his tricks on peoples minds huh?

Thank God for truth.
may we never ever ever stray away from it

GRACE... GRACE... GRACE... Lord Your Grace...

Now that I think about it, Brother Cornwell has probably already given you guys a run down on the meeting... But oh well. I didn't get very many pictures, which I strongly regret.

that's Elvis BTW in a welcome center in Memphis^^^

us girls in the car ^^

Ellie thought he was big stuff walking around with us girls^^

I just got home from the BEST meeting ever!! Friday afternoon about 26 of us from Morgan City went to Forrest City, Arkansas for their annual Youth Jubilee.

It was AMAZING. We (Leah's car) got there right before preaching Friday night, and Brother Develle Lloyd preached. After that we went to taco bell at about 11:30p.m and had some good Church of God fellowship with the saints.

Saturday morning Brother Cornwell preached on planting the right seeds. Brother Ricky Dukes preached the message Saturday night on "Fatal Attractions" which was awesome because I had never heard him preach before.

Sunday morning's service was like none other I have ever been in. The chairman called on Bro. Curtis (you know with the police record a mile long) to give his testimony. Then Jeremy stood up and gave his testimony on how he didn't have to go out and get a police record. He wanted the young people to know what God can do for you if you get saved early on in life. Bro. Andre (I'm not sure where he is from) stood up and said that he was that other one. The one that had been raised in church and left.

So Brother Jennings got up and asked if we knew what God had just done. He had given the unsaved NO excuse not to be saved. The chairman (I regret that I'm not sure just who he is) is a correctional officer and started talking to the males. He said that he was very concerned for the young males. Brother Jennings then had an alter call and about 13 people stood up and went to be saved!

After that we had more testimonies and then Brother Moncrief preached on how its "our time to shine". Which was very encouraging.

During this time God told Brother Curtis to go talk to a young man in the side wing. He didn't even know this guy but he felt like he needed to go talk to him. This was during church so we didn't find this out until after preaching... But the young man got saved during the message! Then after church was over and done with and everyone was leaving, ANOTHER lady got saved!

God was really working in this meeting. There were visitors that were results of the street meeting, there and that was a blessing.

Another thing that was awesome was the Praise. There were times that you couldn't even tell that the choir was singing (which is amazing cause they were super loud) :-) because there were so much praise going on. It made me think of Bro. Cornwell and how he has been talking about praise.

This meeting gave me a determination to stay saved and was very much of an encouragement that i think we all needed.

I can't wait for Wednesday nights service! I feel like Bro. Curtis when he said "My cup is full saints"!!

"Just Smile and Wave Boys, Smile and Wave"

Since it has been pretty much an unforgivable amount of time since I last posted, I won't try to beg forgiveness and all that.

I'll just quietly post some pictures of me. Well maybe some other people too. Just wait and see.

A Song for a Fellow Blogger

Good Directions

Brother Cornwell's message about being thankful and having peace made me think.Alot. He was talking about how one little thing can destroy your peace if you dwell on it too much. He said that all of us have SOMETHING that could get us down, but we don't always let it. We can put those things behind us and SMILE!! Put the devil in his rightful place and let God direct our lives the way he wants. How HE wants. Not how WE want it to be directed.

I don't want to ever get too busy that I'm not thankful and have no peace. If I let God direct my life right NOW, then later on he will bless me for it. That I'm positive of :D

BeStrong!!

Cause I love my Saruh

A California Update :D

I got an awesome blessing in going to Escondido. I made so many new friends and the services were all so good!!

- Tuesday I flew into LAX (the Los Angles airport) on tuesday at nine or something... i can't really remember. Caught a shuttle *after we got on the WRONG one and had to get back off again :D* to the car rental place, and Brother Jim drove a blue PT cruiser with Sarah, Cassia and I... While Sister Becky drove a Sienna (I think) with Kim, Sister Haney, Sister Virginia, Sister Allison, and Sister Nadine to the Escondido Church grounds.

Sister Romero was waiting for us (when we got there at like 1:30 a.m.) and unlocked our rooms and we (everyone except Bro. Jim and Sis. Becky) went to sleep in our rooms. The Knox's stayed at the Edringtons

-Wednesday we woke up and needed some food so we called Victoria Edrington (everyone else was at school or work) to pick us up and take us to eat. We Met Gary and Michelle Nunley, and Nathan O. and went to the beach and the mall to see John at Calvin Klein... The beach was very cold on wednesday!! Wenesday p.m we went to church... I'm pretty sure it was Bro. Romero that preached -Thursday we got to be introduced to the Cowbell. Not a good thing :D. Six thirty in the morning comes very early btw ... Breakfast was at 7:30 to 8:30... Prayer and Praise at 9:15... Church at 10:30... lunch after and then church at 7. I actually have no clue why we have to be up at 6:30 except to elbow the wall or yell at the walls (you know who you are :D)... The Grounds are really nice. The food was awesome :D We also went to Ihop after the night service (all the yp which was ALOT) -Friday was about the same except for the addition of young peoples at 3:30... Brother Casper had the lesson... We got food and brought it back to the Romero's after night service... Lots of fun!!-Saturday was about the same :D Brandon had the yp lesson and all the other messages are all mixed up in my head :D I remember them but not all in order...

-Sunday umm was the same :D church. eat. church. eat :D we went to Applebees that night I believe...
-Monday we stayed at the grounds until like 3. then we all loaded up in Sis. Romero's and the church van (which Bro. Casper drove) to Oceanside. It was so awesome!!! I think this was the only day it even began to be warm enough to go to the beach... The saints had a whole little section to ourselves really... we had a fire, walked on the pier... some yp played volleyball...and we left at like 10 heading back to the church...

-Tuesday was definitley NOT my favorite part of the trip... some yp's flight left at like 11:40 a.m.... and since there wasn't room for Kim and I on the second trip to LAX... we had to stay at the airport until our flight left at 10. P.M.... so yeah. we sat on a bench from 10:30 something till 3:30... our luggage couldn't be checked in until six hours before the flight so we had to sit there with it until then. After 3:30 we went through security to our terminal and waited. and waited and waited. 9:20 p.m we got to board our flight to detroit. In Detroit we had a 3 hour and 30 mins layover. By that time I was getting pretty sick :( I layed in the floor (thanks kim for leaving me there!!!) and woke up with people all around me :D with everyone else that was SUPPOSED to be with me across the room lol. We finally got home at 9:40 a.m central time after 20 hours in an airport and 4 on a plane.

SuperLeevus!!

These are the days of our lives-Queen
