blog name change

well, depending how long you have known me, you may or may not know that i love change!! not always, but most definatly when im in control of it :P i used to change my hair color frequently, i like to move bedroom furniture around, i just get bored of things always being the same, hence the blog name change, i am still working towards more of God and less of me, but to do that, i need to be hungry for more of God (and not a "im hungry lets eat food hungry :P)
Our church has been focusing on a hunger for God lately, and im on board!!!
in this last week (at youth church then at our young adults night) i have heard Matthew preach 2 amazing sermons on Hunger, and you would think they would be quite similar (he warned us that they were) but they were actually quite different! (in a good way :D)

Here are some key points to my "Hungry"

>>>what are you hungry for??

>>>if your not hungry, what are you full of??

>>>hunger for Jesus, He is the only one that can fill us with everlasting "food"all else goes bad

random note, i have been looking at the word hungry for so long and written it so much its done that thing where it looks weird and like im spelling it wrong of something! bahahaha!

anyways, im off to bed now!! nighty night night :D

me...wrapped in a fabulous blanket :D

i have been blessed with one of the greatest gifts ever!!! this amazing blanket was handmade by the lovely Tarina, who if you dont know attends our Gold River campus, i love her to death and am truly blessed by this blanket!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU :D :D :D

PLBC

i just got back from my campus visit at PLBC in Surrey!! it was fantastic!!! i absolutly love it!! the students are amazing, the teachers are incredible and yah, all in all, its just a fantastic school!! haha, i sat in on a class today and the teacher was in sweatpants, so very casual and laidback which is always nice!! i talked to Clint Nelson (he's the director of the YMI youth ministry program) and it was great! i walked away from our talk not only pumped for the fall and more excited than ever, but a little more prepared, he went over the classes with me and also gave me some great hook ups for scholarships!!! so yes, this is answered prayer to my last blog post!! yay God!!! plus, not that i really feel God had to convince me anymore, but i am without a doubt going to PLBC in the fall!!! oh yah, and yesterday i got an email telling me i was accepted!! so its offical!!! :D :D :D
God is good!!!

but ya gotta have faith, faith faith

so i have heard many times, "if you ask God for strength, He will give you an opportunity to be strong..." (and not just 'bam' now your strong) ect, ect.
anyways, so i was just laying in bed and thinking about bible school in the fall, thinking how the heck am i gonna get the money? which led to thinking about how i need to have faith, and then i thought to myself, have a prayed for more faith lately? and i realized, why yes! i have! and so, this is a way God is building up my faith, cause i know that He can provide, and that He will provide as i step into His will, but there is still a hint of disbelief there, even though i know there shouldnt be, and i know as i do my part God will do His.
thats where i am at.
so keep me in your prayers!!

cause you mean more to me than any earthly thing....

so lately i have been playing my guitar more, i still can really only play G,C,D,Em tho, which is ok, cuz many worship songs only use those 4 chords lol! anyways, so i have about 3 songs set aside with those cords that i can play and one is Lord Reign in Me, and it was stuck in my head to day at work as i was off in the corner by myself making dilly bars (sometimes it kills me to be so anti-social, other times its great to chat with God!) anyways so im singing the words (in my head, and occasionally outloud :P) and this line comes up "cause you mean more to me, than any earthly thing" and i stop, it just hits me like a brick in my stomach, i have been singing this song for days, but all of a sudden that line just hit me, it impacted me like i imagined a semi would. that line just stuck with me, bounced around my head. "cause you mean more to me than any earthly thing" its a powerful line, and its made me question, is it true in my life, i love God, dont get me wrong, but does He really mean more to me than any earthly thing? i know the answer should be yes, im just unsure of if it is, but thats ok, cuz i know if it isnt, thats something God and i will work through and it will be yes. what about you? does God mean more to you than any earthly thing? would you sacrifice your own son or daughter if God asked you to? cause i dont think there is a single person in the world who could mean more to you than your own child.
"cause you mean more to me than any earthly thing"
hmm. let it sit with you, take a moment. ponder it in your own mind and spirit.

i turn to Him (my strength)

when i walk through hard times
when im at battle day after day
when i've lost the strength to carry on
i turn to Him

He alone is my strength
He alone is my desire
He is all i need, all i need
i turn to Him alone
He is my strength

when i walk through times of need
when i find myself in the desert
when i'm broken and shattered
i turn to Him

He alone is my strength
He alone is my desire
He is all i need, all i need
i turn to Him alone
He is my strength

when i walk through times of joy
when i find myself victorious
when everything is perfect
i turn to Him

You are my hope, my desire, my strength
You are my light, my power, my strength
