I'm a Daddy's girl.

The time has come for an emotional post.

I have been thinking about death today really, I'm not for sure why, but it's made me extremely thankful for the time that I have to spend with my friends and family right NOW.

For instance, my dad. Even though he is alive and healthy, I couldn't help but thinking about how hard it would be for me to cope without him.

I guess what got this part started was listening to my mp3 player. Being in this thought process already, I began to think about what I would do if I lost my dad. Would I bury myself in the music that he loved so much? Would I never want to hear any of it again?

He has passed his love for music in every way down to me. I love music. If I'm happy I listen to music, if I'm SAD i listen to music, angry or hyper... you get the point. Dad is the music buff in the family, and I don't think I have ever went to him with a song that he couldn't tell me the artist, title, album, year, and sometimes even the track number of.

I put my zune on shuffle and began to think about the memories that I have linked through songs with my father.

For example.....
1.Hollywood- Nickleback. Dad got this cd from his friend Billy. Dad does everything with Billy.
2. 25 or 6 to 4- Chigaco. Dad let me borrow this cd when I was about 13. I think eventually he had to buy another one cause i kept it so long. :D
3.Sara- Jefferson Starship. Dad always played (or sang :D)this song for sarah when we were younger.
4.Kiss you all over- Exile. Every time he ever brings home a cd to add to his massive collection, he always tells me the history of the artist.... Which songs I would know and stuff.
5.Rock and roll lullaby-BJ Thomas. Dad always wins tickets to things from Bob Labbe almost EVERY six weeks for knowing crazy music trivia. He won us tickets to see Bj not too long ago and that was special being able to go with him.
6.Frail grasp on the big picture-Eagles I know quite alot about the eagles, thanks to dad. We were really really excited when this cd came out last year.
7. Too much-Elvis. Dad bought the Elvis 30 #1 hits when i was really little. I claimed it at about 2 i believe. My favorite was "In the Ghetto"
8.Amy- Pure Prairie League Whenever I think of this song I go back to my childhood days of running in and out of the garage while dad was "piddling" on one of his mustangs. I'm not sure why this song does that to me, but it does. He never fails to have the radio on down there.
9.Silver Wings- Merle Haggard. Dad used to have Levi sit on his lap and listen to Merle at the computer. Which is funny because he doesn't exactly just love old country.
10.Eight Days a Week- Beatles. Where do i even start on this one? Dad likes the beatles. and so do i.

So basically, I don't really ever listen to music without thinking about dad.

And since i said something of Mustangs... lol that's a WHOLE new subject. Thats another thing he has passed his love to me on.

Basically, I say all this to let him know that I love him a whole lot.

I cried a whole whole lot today thinking about life without him.

I LOVE YOU DADDY. <3

Guess what?

And it feels amazingly awesome to feel like I DID something :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

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.
