You have power! You are strong! So arm yourself in Truth and stop allowing the nagging critic within you have his say. Truth such as "I is smart. I is kind. I is important." (from "The Help") Furthermore, Truth such as "I am beautiful. I am loved. I am precious." (The Word of God) Also, the Truth that "I am created with a purpose, I am powerful, I am justified by the blood of the lamb... And I am FREE!!!"
Listen and hear!
"Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David."(Isaiah 55:3 NIV)
We must listen to the love of Christ; to His Truth spoken over us... He has so much to share with you!
His heart is for you and He loves you SO MUCH whether you believe it or not. He is pursuing you and longs for you to hear his Truth.
So will you listen? Will you hear?
Will you long "...to know the love of Christ which surpasses understanding"??? (Ephesians 1)

The Help
So my mom lent Mo and I the DVD "The Help" which she recommended with high reviews. Now something you have to understand is when my mom recommends a movie it is ASSURED to be good for she is one of the greatest movie critics I have ever met- which is actually quite a blessing... though we often disagree ;)
Anyways, this movie is SO GOOD!!! I plan to watch it again! It is set in the South and is all about the black and white society right at the time that the Civil Rights Movement is just beginning. It is a story of courage and being bold in the fce of adversity... Doing the right thing even when all else is telling you not to.
So watch it and let it stir you; let the Lord move in you heart to stand up and stand firm on his salvation (1 Corinthians 15) despite opposition!
So go out today and make a difference. Or stay in and rest in the live of the Lord. We have been called to the nations- whether that means to Haiti or to your neighbors- go out and share the good news! Be the voice- the help- in the face of adversity and speak Truth ALWAYS! You will move mountains and see hearts come to life as you do!
I love you!!!

Going Vegan... For Reals
So I am going Vegan for the month of January (including cutting out refined sugar and white flour from my diet). I am excite to begin now.... Well once all the ice cream and ginger snaps I just ate digest ;) The reason I am excited to begin now is because I have 5 more days here at home before I head back to school. Which means I get to begin playing with recipes as well as detoxing amidst my family and while I do not have a busy schedule... Though I know the Lord will give me strength and wisdom amidst my school life too :)
I must admit that the biggest fear I have is judgement from others and hence I find it all the more important that I make this commitment. Another thing that has arisen as I make this commitment is a hint of self-pity- as I hear the lie "you're the only one" and "you are doing this in your own strength"- as well as envy for my other family who are not being called to such a lifestyle. Haha it is so awesome though as already the Lord has made these feelings clear and have set me free. That's right... I AM FREE!!!!
My dad and sister have agreed to support me- and my sister will actually be cutting refined sugar from her diet as well- though my mom is still just dealing with me and letting me be me though she wants me to be doing what she has learned is "best"... Which I am definitely thankful for and love her all the more for!
On another- totally random- note: I have been blessed with the money needed for the past two payments for Haiti and I am only $250 away from having the money for my next payment!!! Morgan is also in the same position and is actually only in need of $100 for the January 28th payment!!! Our God is Jehovah-Jirah "God of provision"; He is forever faithful abc never ending!!! I love my Savior! I do not deserve his love and I can never earn it; yet, he continually pours out on me! Thank you Lord!!!!!

Starting Again
So I have decided I want to start writing more regularly... We'll see how it goes, but I find that writing brings me much peace. :D
So I am sitting in Calypsos Coffee Shop as Java on Sherman was packed... The Glessner girls are here and we are just chilling as Mo and I wait for mom to pick us up for an afternoon adventure and the girls are waiting on Jaida to finish catching up with an old friend... Oh some things never change :)
