How amazing is our God?!

There is so much that God has done in my life through DTS it’s been truly amazing. God is so good! NOW and ALWAYS!

Me being home is a testament to his faithfulness!! I had coped with the thought of not being able to come home for my sisters wedding and then it was looking like I could come home and it was all up and down. I would have a flight then I'd lose it and I was feeling so discouraged about coming. But here I sit in Jacksonville! My sisters wedding was beautiful and I know that the only reason I am here is because of the faithfulness of my God! He has blessed me with this time with my family and friends! He made a way where there was no other way. God is so faithful in every single part of my life! It’s so amazing! I sit here and remember back to when I was on my last outreach and how upset I was and how sad I was that I would not be able to go to Rebecca’s wedding. I just did not see a way it could happen. I just did not know what to do. I got to a point where I did not even know what to pray. Then my good friend Shane played me this song by Jason Upton and it was so amazing how God met me in the misted of my doubt! The song talked about how, you can not know and that when I just don’t know, my eyes are on you Lord! I have learned that God is faithful ALL the TIME not just when I am full of faith but even when I am FULL of DOUBT! He is still faithful and he walks with me and he cares about everything I care about. That he gives good gifts to those who ask! Matthew 7:11 If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him
How amazing is our God?!

Gideon lyrics

Lyrics:
I don’t have the power I don’t even have a clue I don’t know all the answers I don’t even know a few And if I were really honest And the truth were known of me It may sound a little funny But this is what My prayer would be I don’t know what to do But my eyes are on you I don’t know what to do But my eyes are on you, My Lord I lift my eyes toward the heavens I tune my ear to your command Help me boast in my condition You’re the God and I’m the man

The Best is Yet to Come!

DTS is over and it was so sad to leave and to say goodbye to all my new amazing friends. But I can stand firm in Gods goodness and faithfulness. It was one of the HARDERST things I had to do. I know that the Lord gives and takes away. He gave me this amazing time with my friends and he now has taken it away but I can still say that he is GOOD all the TIME! I just know that I will see my friends again! So I don’t want to say goodbye but rather say I will SEE YOU SOON! DTS was so amazing and so LIFE CHANGING!! God blessed me with some really great friendships. People that love and care for me with all there heart! That understand me and has helped me grow closer to God. This was a short time and now it is over but it was a life changing time. We will never be the same. We came to DTS not really knowing what would happen and for me I came with many fears! I feared that I would not make any friends. That I would not know how to be the real me. All I can say is God is FAITHFUL! I have over come so many fears and you all have helped me overcome them! Thank you for being there with me and for helping me through all of it! Without you guys I know I would not have made it through. God gives us exactly what we need! And he knew I needed your friendships!! Thank you. It was so hard to leave you guys and my heart broke when I did. I may not know what tomorrow will bring but I know that God is good and he is faithful! So even though it was heart breaking to see all of you go. All I can do is look fordword to what is to come! Because the BEST is yet to come.

No Sacrifice

No Sacrifice

To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to
To you I sacrifice these dreams that I hold on to
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
To you I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures that you've designed for free?
Because
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is staronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
To you I give my future
As long as it may last
To you I give my present
To you I give my past
Because
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
