Reading List

I want to read more books. If you have any good books please comment on this post and give me a brief synopsis of the book. I love reading new books and right now I have no idea what book I should start reading next.

Joshua Project

As you can see, on the sidebar I have an unreached people group highlighted thanks to the Joshua Project. For D-NOW at my church I was in charge of this missions display and I had three boards and a PowerPoint playing. I spent a lot of time researching organizations and other missions sites to put together a slightly comprehensive explanation of missions. So, when i came across the Joshua Project site, I was amazed that so much information was available about all of these people groups. I am so excited with what God is doing at my church with missions. All of the Sunday school classes have adopted people groups to commit to praying for. We have so many trip and things going on. At the banquet, a five-fold presentation was made. it was really good. I had the opportunity in speaking at the banquet and i was unsure if what i wrote would be beneficial. I had no idea what the lady after me was going to speak on and what I said linked with exactly with what she said. that just goes to show you that God was in complete control of the evening no matter how much planning each of us had put into it. We are also looking into supporting missionaries. I would assume we are since that was one of the points made that we should support our local missionaries. Yet, that could mean that we just give to the cooperative program. Oh well, maybe when I am ready to run of into the foreign mission field, the church will help support me. Anyway, I am also pleased with the concept of the missions journals. These journals are helping the students make a commitment to pray, memorize scripture and do their quiet times.

Prom Season

It’s prom season. I decided to make my prom memorable I was going to load up on tracks and share the gospel the whole night with some friends from church. Prom has always been an interesting event in my mind since I do not date and I could care less about vanities. So, one night when I was praying about the missions banquet, God gave me this idea. Every senior will be at prom and nobody is going to leave because someone bothered them with the gospel. Everyone spends the whole year planning for one small weekend, but how many have plans for eternity? I will have the greatest opportunity to share the gospel. I am so excited, not about the vane things, but about the great opportunity God has given me. Please pray that God will use my small group of friends to make an eternal impact that night. God is sovereign and I am excited to see what He will do with our availability.

Progressive Pancake Dinner

Yesterday, the school had TAKS testing. I passed the test last year like almost all of the other seniors. So, since yesterday was national Pancake Day, I went to IHOP with some friends. You could get a free short stack of pancakes and donate to the shriner's hospital. It was great except the IHOP in ATA was crowded and we were there for two whole hours. But, the fellowship was splendid. Then, since I had one other friend who also wanted to get pancakes later in the day I went to the IHOP off of 59 later that day. She was unable to go to IHOP that morning so I went again to IHOP off of 59 to spend some time with her. It was nice. I was feeling the pancake batter in my stomach for the whole day though. I ate way too many pancakes in celebration. My dad said he thought the idea of a pancake day came from England. I am not sure at all.

Update

Okay, it has been a long time, I know. Here is an update. I am going to Toccoa Falls College. I have currently been working at Walgreens Pharmacy to hopefully get a job as a pharmacy technician. I also spend a ton of time at HAFBC planning missions things, like the Puerto Rico mission trip. I am excited about this summer and all of the missions opportunities I will have. It will be nice. Unfortunately i have joined the other 99.9% of the senior population and counting the days. I have 13 more days of school till spring break.
