Until Midnight

So this is Jash!! My Misfit Prince singing a song he wrote me :)

My Sweetheart


No Longer A Traveler

Ok so Summer has ended and I am currently sitting in class. Yes time has passed and I have not been posting as much as I use to or wanted. Well I do have lots of things I was to write about. I have TONS of post that I have started but haven't finished. So... look forward to a bunch of post. I want to start posting some of my journal writings from my Devotional journal. I've had some really awesome bible studies and I would like to share them. :) Well like I said, school is back in session. I am in my second week of classes. FINALLY I have unpacked all of my belongings and found a semi-permanent place for them. I have been getting back into or starting a routine. I'm on academic probation cause I failed 3 classes... yeah ...I know... Well, I've actually been reading and paying attention in class keeping notes. (yes I did just say I am in class writing this..... don't judge me) haha
So, this semester I am taking some interesting classes. Doctrine of Creation, Old Testament Theology, Personal Evangelism, Cross Cultural Ministry, and some Teaching and Learning psychology class... a total of 12 hours. Recently I have been trying to grow deeper in my spiritual life. Asking "Why am I Baptist?" "Why do I believe this and that?" "Do I just believe everything the church tells me?" "Where do I stand on this topic?" These questions have lead to some deep theology. I may be just learning but I will say that I am a Calvinist and I hold to all 5 points. I am not looking for a fight or debate, or for anyone to tell me I am wrong. I find it sooo funny... when someone who hasn't researched or just doesn't agree with anything I do, they don't ask questions... they say this "So YOU believe ....." well... do you know the 5 points? Did I say I believe them...then yes. haha I don't want to argue. Also from Calvinism I have been learning about Reformed Theology. WOW!!! This is some heavy stuff!!! Its very deep. Its like Calvinism with a backbone. Its going past just 5 points. Its going to the beginning and seeing where we have come as Baptist. Well... Jash is helping me to learn and he is guiding me and being very patient with me. haha Well... these classes I'm taking are either gonna help me by disagreeing with me and pushing me to search harder and stay firm or they are gonna help me and show me if I'm wrong. (but I'm not) haha
ok class has ended. :) Until next time

My Song For The Summer


Ok so this song God is Able, WOW!!! I just... I feel like this explains my heart. Everything we have been through this summer, the good, the Great, the hard, the messy, the fun and the ugly, God has been with us. This summer I alone did nothing, BUT God... But God decided to use me. He grew me closer to him and brought me down to South Florida to teach about His son Jesus Christ. Sometime I think about how this summer was very different from last year. Last year I worked in Ft. Lauderdale and I was in Haitian and Hispanic and all types of cultural churches. This year I was in Naples and Ft. Myers  and occasionally Miami, working in all white churches and this last one was a Korean church. I mostly worked in white churches and sometimes I didn't feel like i was doing a whole lot. I learned soo much. What type of situations I work better in and what pushes me. The lessons we taught were really awesome and I personally learned a lot. Well... on our last week we were working in a Korean church. It was really cool. It was small and not a lot of kids came. We had a ton of youth. Well, on youth night which was Thursday, we had a chance to share our testimonies with them. There were about 20 youth that night and it was just awesome. During worship they played this song. And I was just hit by how amazing God is and how he works. Even when I feel like I'm not getting anything done or falling apart... God is able.  In the lyrics below I love how it says "He will make a way Far above all we know Far above all we hope He has done great things" Gosh!!! The words to this song are so beautiful and hit me hard. I am very much in love with my God. The God of Mosses, of Abraham, of Jacob, The God who created all. :)

[Verse 1]
God is able
He will never fail
He is almighty God
Greater than all we seek
Greater than all we ask
He has done great things

[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

[Verse 2]
God is with us
God is on our side
He will make a way
Far above all we know
Far above all we hope
He has done great things

[Chorus]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

[Bridge]
God is with us
He will go before
He will never leave us
He will never leave us
God is for us
He has open arms
He will never fail us
He will never fail us

[Chorus (x2)]
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able

For the Lord
Our God is able
For the Lord
Our God is able
