SCTNow Campaign

As most of you know we are gearing up for a big day on September 17th, 2011 to run/walk a 5K in downtown Augusta, GA to help raise awareness for STOP CHILD TRAFFICKING NOW.

Over 2 million children are currently enslaved around the world, including every one of the 50 United States. In an effort to play my part in ending this injustice, I have joined the Stop Child Trafficking Now (SCTNow) Campaign.

SCTNow has chosen to fund a bold, new approach, one that addresses the demand side of child sex trafficking by targeting buyers/predators for prosecution and conviction. During the month of September 2011, thousands of individuals in communities across the United States and Canada will participate in SCTNow Walks to raise funds and bring awareness to the issue of child trafficking.

So join us. Mark your calendars!

Tumblr Fail. Back to BLOGSPOT. K thanks.

Meet Cliff. My love.

John 10:10 says that the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy...

but Jesus came that we may have LIFE!

I love having companionship with those who call on the Lord with such pure hearts and I love having friendships with those who live their life out loud and Aaron is just one of them. Sin, many times, can take us places that we never wanted to go but we have to be continually reminded that God has a great plan for our lives. Sin can steal our passion and most of the time, its very painful... But our God is GREATER!

Watch. Listen. Celebrate.

I love walking along side of people who love God. Let's speak truth. Let's be transparent. And be the person that God's made us to be... There is power in Jesus!

God's way is the very best way.
God's plan is the very best plan.

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives..."

-Genesis 50:20



Um... Hello... Anyone there???

Yeah...

A bit dusty, I'd say :)

Stay tuned... this will be continued!

whAt WhAt…

So I have to say that this year has started out exceptionally well. 2010 is treating me good and I’m anxious to watch as God continues to unravel His perfect plan.

Just an update on life- Let me just say that I have the best friends are kid could ask for. In conversation today that very thought crossed my mind. Life wouldn’t nearly be as fun if I didn’t have such amazing people walking along side with me :)

Work is incredibly fun. I absolutely love what I do. Some days are very long days and can be stressful, but for the first time in my 26 years I’m 100% confident I’m doing what I’m suppose to be doing for this season of life! So if you’re looking to get fit and stay healthy, call me. Let me help :)

…and on that note, I’m dreaming big dreams again… let’s see where this career leads me and see what my God has in store! Very exciting.

February is gonna be a radical month to be at ‘IN FOCUS CHURCH’ … You don’t want to miss it, I promise!!! Check this out!

Psalm 57

My heart is confident in you, O God;
      My heart is confident.
      No wonder I can sing your praises!

Wake up, my heart!
      Wake up, O lyre and harp!
      I will wake the dawn with my song.

I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
      I will sing your praises among the nations.

For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
      Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
      May your glory shine over all the earth

New Year’s Resolutions…

Crazy what a new year makes people do and it’s always the talk of conversation around this time of year. I had a barista at Starbucks a few days ago ask me what my New Year’s resolution was and I drew a blank! (and I felt like a brat like I was perfect and didn’t need one lol) But she continued to talk about hers… and I began to think. Why do we always wait until the new year to change?! I sat down a few months ago and wrote out some goals for 2010 as far as work was concerned (merely because I’m that girl that needs to physically see them to strive toward and believe in) but I had not once thought about a New Year’s resolution(s)…

So I pondered… I don’t feel like I need to exercise more (if you’re not aware, I work at the gym) and I don’t need to ‘diet’ as every American does come January 1st. I save money (as best I can). I read my bible & have my quiet time. All these practical resolutions are active already in my life… And after days of thinking and praying, God put something a little different on my heart-

My resolution is for God to

CONSUME ME- INVADE ME- COMPLETE ME…

To love people with an OUTRAGEOUS love, an intangible love…

To live my life outside of the luke warm & grey areas…

To truly obey God’s commandments because I love Him THAT much… (John 14:15)

To be more than “just enough”…

To desire to do what is RIGHT over popularity…

To strive to make JESUS my LIFE, not just “part of my life”… not just a section/part of my day or some of my thoughts, but that HE consume me…

To love with all my heart, soul and mind. Not just with my heart…

To take many risks & sacrifice much for the sake of the cross…

& I desire for what’s on the inside of me to shine through. bright. pure. & righteous…

Lord that I give up everything to become your disciple.

What is your New Year’s resolution?
