Life at Last
“You are snakes! Who warned you to run away from God’s coming punishment?Do the things that show you really have changed your hearts and lives. And don’t think to yourselves, ‘Abraham is our father’. I tell you that God could make children for Abraham from these rocks. The ax is now ready to cut down the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water to show that your hearts and lives have changed. But there is one coming after me who is greater than I am, whose sandals I am not good enough to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. He will come ready to clean the grain, seperating the good grain from the chaff. He will put the good part of the grain into his barn, but he will burn the chaff with a fire that cannot be put out.”
-Matthew 3:7-12
So…the major question crosses my feeble mind quite frequently lately…am I producing good fruit? Will I be cut down and thrown into the fire?
My heart and life has shifted yet again. Relief. Joy.
God has pushed all my other focuses aside. He is there. Here. Now. Excitement through what he has been doing in my life is making me thirsty. Hungry. I want more.
One of my current homes, CVCC, has helped my data base grow more. My mother loves this place. She comes every Sunday. Her life and our reltionship has shifted so much…it’s difficult to explain it all in words. A few of my Christian friends at Gelsons who live out amazing spiritual lives say that they have seen my mom grow like crazy. My mom asked me a question last night that almost brought me to tears.
She wants to be baptized.
What?!?!?!?!?!!?!? MY MOTHER?!?!?! 
She is to talk to our pastor soon. I’ll keep you posted. Promise.
On to more exciting news. I have five friends I’ve introduced to my amazing God. Through my youth group. I’m seeing God move in their lives…two have become believers and the rest are working their way towards the open door. One of these friends who I have really struggled with…asked if she could come for the first time last night. One of my good friends, Ashley. She is interested. And in her life…that is all we need for now.
Girls nights. Currently working on these. Alot. Trying to plan these. Wanting to bring friends to meet more friends. Girls from youth group, work, school, and other places. My goal…to bring love…hope…faith…God ultimately. So those will become a regular bases thing…hopefully every 2 weeks.
Both the Spring/Vox community and CVCC community have and are bringing me closer and closer to a God I have always wanted to know. I’m learning more about Him…doing more things with Him. My heart is about to explode! With everything He is doing in my life…I am releived with tears of joy. Life has never seemed to plentaful…so full of someone bigger. Finally getting out of the self mind-set.
I’m hoping to become a leader soon at my youth group. Pray for me.
