Disneyland.. And Beyond!

I'm going to DISNEYLAND!

Me and my family are taking a week long vacation to California over Christmas and i'm pretty much, more excited that I've ever been about anything. PERIOD. yes, I need a life.
But seriously, I get to go on Christmas day and too top it all off, I GET TO SEE JACK. they have this really cool "Christmas" theme and Jack is obviously the main character. I will visit him in his haunted mansion, see the below sign, and it will be awesome.



&& to top it off, We'll be there all day long. And we'll get to see the place decked out at night. Pretty rad? I think so.

Bedroom; The first update.

Some of you may know how much i complained about my boring, dull, and drab bedroom. However recently I've started getting the Ball rolling on finishing it (Obviously, I'd like my room done before i move out) So a couple of weeks ago I got the paint, and some fantastic accessories to start on it. I hope to have it finished.... maybe by spring? Here's The Progress So far:

My Bedside Table, Repainted, New Drawer Pull, and that lovely candle Holder above; Pretty Spectacular. Also, My Bed, made. With New curtains, and that fantastic cork board.

My Walls went from a camel tan to Bold Terracotta, Pictured by my bed. And Winter Squash, Pictured around piano.

Here is my one "winter squash" Wall, with my piano and some of my pictures.
My Fan-freaking-tastic new chandelier.

It's really not as epic in a picture, But I'm sure you can kind of understand my
excitement.

Anyways, That's just a brief update. I hope that soon I'll have my fantastic shelves, and more of my pictures hung. I'll update then!

Bread...... FALLING FROM THE SKY!!

Ohmigoodness, folks... Are you ready for this!?


So, Following the direction of the fantastic speaker Ira Parmenter, I'm am blogging about bread, Which is so obviously falling from the sky that I cannot contain it. Wow Is my God good. Consumed was amazing. && I'm not just saying that out of obligation. It was spectacular.

Now I all know that there is about 50,000,000 or so blogs about consumed right about now, But i couldn't help it. Consumed was fantastic; At first, i had been so lost in the busy-ness and the jobs and obligations and the overwhelming feeling of having to be perfect, that I felt just couldn't let God move in me. Especially on stage. But quite simply, by Saturday night, I Don't know if it was the sheer exhaustion, or me finally giving in.. But I was so rocked by God; I could hardly stand. I was playing keeys heaving over, hardly able to stand and I didn't feel bad, or out of place, or incorrect. It just felt.... Amazing. God's hand touched so many lives, and has definitely fanned the passion inside me for worship, prayer, and the breaking off of age gaps and age "restrictions".
I don't mean that in a "Let 12 year-olds do whatever they want" sort of way, But honestly, && If i'm terribly wrong please give me some feed back here. But why shouldn't Teenagers be able to pray openly with adults without feeling inadequate, why shouldn't teenagers be delivering one another from pasts and prophesying over one another, Why shouldn't teenagers lead one another {Again I am not saying lead themselves, But under the influence of a higher authority} Why shouldn't 17-19 year olds get married? Why shouldn't we be a generation that knows how to do these things!?! Why don't we bother to get inform, Ask && Learn. Why don't we read books and research those things, if nothing else but to have a greater understanding of them. Wouldn't it be great:


Just think, Wouldn't it be great if we actually used the church as the resource God has given us. Why not, right? God has given us a family that has experiences so vast, that all we need to do is ask, to be informed. Just ask, to be counselled.

• Why Not, marry young? Sure, teenagers and young adults don't have the "years under their belts" or the vast experiences. But it's the maturity;; If we dont have that wealth of knowledge, someone in the church is going to && if we ever need a swift kick, good advice, or somone to just talk to, we'll have it. So why not start a marriage young, Why not grow, learn and love together?
• Why Not, Step in and pray regaurdless of who's listening? Age has nothing to do with anything in the kingdom of God. God knows you're maturity level and he knows you're intentions. Your words don't need to be big and fancy && you don't have to have 5 years experience before delivering people; You just need big faith.
• Why can't teenagers be leaders? I think it's the best time to start. You're young and growing and it's much easier to incorperate those "leadership qualities" when you're at you're learning and growing peak.
  

Why should teenagers be looked down on, Especially in the church. We are capable of so much more than people give us credit for. However, the reason they aren't giving us that credit is because we haven't shown them what we're capable of.

Aside from all of that;; I was like a proud parent this weekend because I got to watch my boyfriend grow and reach new heights and passions in his walk both in worship and in knowledge, and it was so cool to see. It made my smile and made everything that much more worth it.

I'd also like to take a bit of space up in here to thank Kelsey and Jason. Without them, my own passions wouldnt' have been renewed the way they were, Brandon's faith wouldn't have been pushed up that much higher, and all the lives that were touched or changed this weekend may not have had that experience. Not to say God wouldn't have touched lives without consumed. But it just wouldn't have bene the same. So thank you Kelsey and Jason for taking time out of your lives to put this on for us, so that our generation could be radically affected; You're the Bomb.

[It's Been Awhile...]

Sorry it's been so long. There has been sooo many things going on in life right now, that i couldn't even come close to comprehending writing on here. First off. I've recently found the "Follow This Blog" Button && Frankly, it has saved my life. Do you know how hard it was to keep track of all the blogs i read and continuously have them on the side thingy? No probably not, cause none of you are me... but it was TERRIBLE.

Anyways, on to more important matters... like CONSUMED!! Heck yes. Ohmigoodness, so excited! Not only is the entire freaking confrence going to be amazing, But i'm also on worship.. And that makes it 7 quadrillon times more exciting because.. I LOVE WORSHIP. And Not Only do I love to worship my God . I am so passionate about it that I think everyone should do it, all the time. So to get to be apart of the worship team for consumed, with my piano [which I might add, takes that 7 quadrillon and multiplies it again by 10 quadrillon] and just simply getting to worship God with so many other people from different places, different ages and different stages in Life; Is pretty amazing. Needless to say, I'm Stoked.
