| It is now October...wow. I should be in bed, but for some reason I decided to blog on xanga. Once again, I update on my life: Hmm...in July I went to California with Jared for his family reunion. That was fun. Visit my facebook for pics. In August I worked a lot. In September I became Manager at the Dairy! Woot! I am currently trying to become more organized and efficient with my belongings and time. There is so much to be done!
Right now my projects include:
1. finishing the book Jared lent me (Searching For God Knows What).
2. reading "40 Days of Love" and "Relationship Principles Of Jesus" for small group
3. sewing aprons for work
4. possibly crochet hats again this year to give to kids for Mt. Vision Ministries
I also need to eat healthier...I need more vitamins, and learn to balance priorities and fun. Umm...I still help teach youth drama at church. I think I learn more from them; not about drama, but about how to be others-oriented. On Sundays I attend an ASL class for sunday school. Hopefully this will help me decide to really become an interpreter or not.
This Saturday I am booked solid. lol. But I'm excited. I am helping with "The Big Serve" for our church community project, celebrating the centenial of the Nazarene denomination. Then I work for a few hours. Then I'm going with Jared to his company outing at Putt n Stuff. Yay! Last time I went putt putting was with my SP homies... whom I miss dearly.  But now its time for bed. לילה טוב That means goodnight in Hebrew.
In the future I hope to update more often with more important stuff than myself as a topic.

| Yay, I remembered my password for this! Just thought I would update incase anyone still reads my blogs.
The past few months have been, well...adventurous. I fall deeper in love everyday with my Lord. And with Jared, hehe. I can somewhat see my mind being transformed. Some things I used to like, I don't like anymore. I now realize it is because God is shaping me and shaking everything out of my life that can be shaken. Of course all that will be left standing are the things of Him. I enjoy learning more about the Word. Jared and I have been listening to Chuck Missler teachings. Chuck is packed full of info about the Bible. Your brain might hurt after you listen to him. lol Listen to him here: http://www.firefighters.org
I am also more motivated to learn about my Jewish roots. If my Lord, Jesus Christ, is a Jew and stayed devout, doesn't that mean it's important. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I can forget about my roots. Jared made up a saying: half(Jew) & half(Christian) = all JC (Jesus Christ).  Anyway, so I'm studying about Jewish culture; and since listening to Chuck talk about meanings of words in the Hebrew Bible versus the English translation, I have begun the journey of learning Hebrew. Jared and I support eachother in this study. Eventually we want to travel to Israel.
Other things that have been going on...umm, I've gone to 3 weddings so far this year. I've driven a lot more than I ever thought I could. Even though I'm not too fond of driving long distances, I know my experiences were good for me. I am attempting to learn to golf. I'm getting better at hitting the ball, but I don't think I'll be ready to play a match till next summer (if I keep practicing that is). I'm still helping with youth drama at church. We are doing day camps for a trailer park during the summer. It's awesome that the youth love to outreach. It was cool seeing my old youth pastor yesterday. We had a youth group reunion. I think that's about it for now.... Later taters!

God
is good. He is Jehovah Jireh. The Lord has blessed me so much lately.
He has given me a wonderful, God-fearing man; a promotion at work;
ministry oportunities at church; and has opened a door for me to make
my relationship with my mom better. Life isn't perfect, but I don't
expect it to be until God's Kingdom is here.
I've been reading
more lately and it has inturn increased my desire to learn. I like
watching Discovery or History channel with Jared. He is like a genius.  Oh, and in church we are learning how to know God more and abide
in Him. One thing I am currently doing to know who God is learning His
names. I have a book called "The Peace and Power of Knowing God's Name"
by Kay Arthur and these are the names covered:
Elohim: The Creator
El Elyon: The God Most High
El Roi: The God Who Sees
El Shaddai: The All-Sufficient One
Adonai: The Lord
Jehovah: The Self-Existent One
Jehovah-jireh: The Lord Will Provide
Jehovah-rapha: The Lord Who Heals
Jehovah-nissi: The Lord My Banner
Jehovah-mekoddishkem: The Lord Who Sanctifies You
Jehovah-shalom: The Lord Is Peace
Jehovah-sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts
Jehovah-raah: The Lord My Shepherd
Jehovah-tsidkenu: The Lord Our Righteousness
Jehovah-shammah: The Lord Is There |

Knowing God more
I learned this at church while watching "The Truth Project" and it's been on my heart for like a week...
El
Qanna is another name for God. It means Jealous God or God who is
Jealous. If we can understand His jealousy for us we can better
understand His love. He is jealous of our time we spend on things and
not Him. He wants to spend all His time with us because He is deeply in
love with us, and wants us to want to spend all our time with Him and
become deeply in love with Him. The Lord is our Groom waiting for us to
walk down the isle and become united as One with Him. Unfortunately
some of us want to bring other people/things down the isle with us not
wanting to give them up, or we keep saying we will walk down the isle
tomorrow, or get scared of commitment and become a runaway bride. El
Qanna.
This song is awesome...
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.
So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way
That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves
He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

| Rawr! Jesus is my strength! Life is good! Jared is wonderful! I love him sooo much!  Umm, updates....Jared and I are doing well. We will be celebrating Valentines Day tomorrow at a banquet put on by teens at church to help them raise money for a mission trip to Mexico. It will also be our two month; I can't wait to give Jared his gift. hehe  Another good thing that's happened is that next week I start as Assistant Manager at the Dairy. Yay for a promotion! I also signed up for a craft show at church, so I've been working on things to sell and hopefully make some money. College loan payments are evil. I'm thankful my parents don't charge me rent. But with this new position at work I get more hours and a raise so I should be fine and dandy. Welp, that's all for now. Later taters!

| God is amazing!!! Wow, where to begin...Mt Vision went well. I'm so proud of the youth drama team. They really worked hard to share Jesus with the needy kids last weekend.
I got my laptop back! Yay! It is sooooo much faster than my desktop. It needed a new motherboard and I didnt have to pay for it cuz it was still under warranty, thank the Lord!
The highlight of my life lately has happened rather quickly. I met my Jared! Words don't explain what's happening right now. It seems like God is finally making everything click all at once. jfdsa;jfklsdj;alkjf;dk;ajfslkdjfa;s
