After a good weekend,..into a good week..

Well, from wednesday to sunday I was able to spend some time at home! Oh man! SOO good. Went back to my old Bethel College to go to chapel (though I was late) and was able to eat some lunch at the typical SG (sufficient grounds) with some friends, walked around campus and saw all my friends! It was soo good to be home! I went to Hacienda twice in less than 24 hours (my mother is obsessed, lol) and had a nice party with my friends! Got to hang out with the fam! Made some delicious apple pie with my dad and then made one on my own..seriously..this pie is amazing! Its called, "Annie's Apple Crumb Pie"..SOooo good! My new partner Lindsey helped me peel and cut the apples and we made the pie for my friend Robbie whom we were staying with sunday night down in Indy because we had a show. Yes, I'm pretty much in Indiana for the next 3 weeks! So our show yesterday in Plainfield,IN went SUPER well. Our set-up was amazing and we got to hang out with some kids. After the show, we had a few kids come up to us to tell us how they really enjoyed "Dare to Move". Seriously, God really speaks to these kids through this video. Today, we were in Hobart,IN which is right near Merriville, a girl came up to me after the show. Her name was Jackie, and she poured out her life to story to me. She was telling me how she gets teases and bullied alot in school because of the way she dresses. She lost her dad and her grandma within a few days of each other right before her 12th birthday (she's in high school now) and saying how she got into cutting and how she use to be into witchcraft and stuff. She was telling me how our videos really touch her and she cries because she can really relate to the kids in the video being interviewed. I was so taken a back when she started pouring her life out to me. I was like, "ok, God..help me! I dont know what to do!" but God said, "Jessie, just listen to her...you can't fix it..but you can listen..it shows you care" So I tried to not have that feeling of "I gotta do something!" and just did what Jesus would do..what he does to all of us, listen. Jackie just wanted someone to here her out, because the bullying she goes through, the cutting, her being homeless before in her life, people judging her, it sucks. I didn't have a Jesus talk with her but with my actions and listening..I was being Jesus to her..by the grace of God! I hope this girl really comes to know the Lord, because He is the only One who can fulfill, who can satisfy, who can quench our thirst, our every need! Jackie is engaged to what seems to be an amazing guy, but I was thinking when she was telling me all the stuff she went through, she is going through this for a reason..I really believe it is for one day she will know Christ as her Savior. I pray that she will! She was a sweet girl and you can tell she is searching for significance in her life. I love what i do,guys. I love talking to these kids and people in general. I'm so thankful and pleased God is working in my heart because He is more and more working with me to have kingdom eyes and a compassionate heart like Jesus did when crowds would come to Him..in the Word it says, "He had compassion on them". His heart bleeds for us, guys! He loves us so much! I always say this..when you look at the ground and you see an ant, its so small..we don't care if we step on them. They're billions of them everywhere. However, to God, we are as small as an ant, there are billions of us..but does he squash it and think, "ehh..but there are billions of them." No! He cares and loves our little ant lives. He cares about our issues that seem so big to us and so little to him that he still cares about them! He wants us to give those to Him!! What a loving, caring, awesome God we serve! No one, No thing, No anything can ever top our God! Our creator wants you to be apart of His book..His will! A life of freedom and everything we need! We can get it all through one source...Jesus!! Mmmhmm! Praise the Lord!
