Just Ask

I love how amazing God is.. everything fell perfectly into place and he slowly releived my stress, bit by bit..

 Tuesday night I was stressing out because I had so much work due the next day and I wouldn't be able to get much done because of a concert I had to attend for a grade.
there was:

  • a three page research paper that i hadn't even started
  • a Spanish video project
  • an English packet
  • a six page Spanish packet 
  • and I had to study for three difficult tests that i had no room for failing.
I was worried that there was no way I would be able to finish everything, but I had to recollect my thoughts and  remind myself to ask for gods help.

Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

 I found myself praying constantly, thanking him for everything, even the pile of work, and asked for his help to complete it because there was no way I could get it done it on my own.

When I got home I started on my video project because I knew I could get it done quickly. after i finished I couldn't bring myself to focus on anything else, so I prayed a quick prayer and started readying myself for the concert. The concert was done so much earlier than normal, God's provision of course. On the way home, I grabbed a coffee to keep me awake because I was started to feel the fatigue from staying up studying the night before. I finished the paper in a couple hours and It wasn't even that late when I had gotten everything ready for the next day, but I decided to save the packets for the morning so it wouldn't be so dreadful dragging myself out of bed so early.

I did wake up a little late the next morning, but got to class early enough for help on my Spanish packet. I got a lot of it done and I borrowed a book to finish my English questions.  Every time I found myself worrying, I asked for God's help. It was as if he slowed down time. I was able to almost finish my English packet in my first class because my teacher decided we weren't going to learn anything that day..A blessing. I took my test in English and finished my packet within minutes of the bell. I was already feeling better as things started falling into place, but I was headed to Spanish class and I still hadn't finished that packet. I was worried, so i shot up a quick prayer which was answered when the teacher explained that she was postponing presentations so we could finish our packets in class, and I finished with plenty of time to study for my history exam. And I finished my day off, praising God for allowing me to get everything done and to leave with no homework over the Easter Holiday.

Isn't God Amazing?!

 Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
 All you have to do is ASK!!

Reflecting Him

     I feel accomplished. My desire to be set apart in Christ hasn't gone unnoticed. I have drawn in the heart of a young man who doesn't really have a good walk with the Lord, I'm honestly not even sure if he is saved. 

     He has told me he has an interest in me, and seems to care about me, but I am not ready to date anyone. I don't have an interest in dating anyone at this point in time because i think its pointless for me to be searching for a husband so young. Plus, I trust God to bring the perfect man at the perfect time.

     But, anyway, I let the guy know That I wasn't ready to date anyone, and kindly let him know that that I didn't know him well enough yet( it had been only three or so days since we had met), plus I haven't ever been in a relationship and didn't want to ruin that for someone I didn't even know(and couldn't really see myself dating, character wise). I continued being friendly and sometimes he would walk me to class, I was slightly embarrassed because people who saw us were thinking we were "together", but i kept reminding myself that it doesn't matter what other people think, and I am witnessing to this young man with my actions. We would talk about interests, about school, and about religion. I finally got the opportunity to invite him to youth. He told me he'd think about it since he didn't believe in God and he feared being judged.

 The next day he came up to me and asked about how i felt about the fact that he didn't believe in God, I thought for a moment before I simply replied with: "It doesn't really matter, Well It does because I care about your eternal safety, but it doesn't make me not want to be friends, I don't judge you for tat decision." He looked at me smiling and said " I was hoping you would say that." He showed me that he had a cross on his class ring and he proceeded to tell me that he was a believer, but was doing an experiment to see how people would react. He came to the conclusion that a lot of Christians were the worst about judging, I made a mental note of that. I asked him how he knew he was a christian, and he said he's always been one, and he was baptized as a baby, and I tried to explain how all you have to do is just believe that Jesus Christ died for you and ask him to come live inside of you, but I am not very good with words, so I knew I had to get him to church.

 It was then I realized why God had drawn this guy to me, It wasn't for him to have a relationship with me, but for him to start a relationship with God. It didn't take a lot of coaxing to get him to agree to come to youth group. i think he is still trying to impress me, but I don't mind so much since it is helping me to be able to share Jesus with him. 
I know you are probably thinking that i am leading him on, and I have felt bad about that as well, but I am being very careful about it, and he knows that I do not plan on dating him. I pray that that I don't hurt him. 

But still, I wasn't sure if he was all talk or if he'd actually show. Well He did!!  and on the perfect night too, we learned the importance of Easter and the gospel, and even though he may have felt judged by the power of the message, I think it is really what he needed to hear. Even though it was awkward to have a guy following me around at youth,  I really hope he chooses to come back!!

 Please be praying for this man, that His walk with God will continue to grow, and that God will continue to use me for His glory. And maybe even allow this man to accept God as his personal savior. How cool would that be?

God bless! And remember: Continue to reflect Jesus because you never know who is watching.

Love, Felicity

Tired

     This is the second night in a row I have had to stay up late to study. Tomorrow is the last day of classes before Easter Break and I had a concert tonight, I have a Paper due tomorrow, three tests, a project, and  two packets due. I'm so overwhelmed!
     Slowly, but surely Its all coming together, and it could only be by God's hand. I am Anxiously awaiting a much needed Easter break. Took lots of pics this weekend, can't wait to share. God Bless!!

Beach


Road trip!! We decided to take a trip to the beach before spring break was over, so we hit the road on a Tuesday evening.

Here is some music as we hit the road together
Go do by Jónsi on Grooveshark




It took forever to get to the campsite, but it was okay because I love car trips, especially when I don't have to drive.
We set up our tent at the campsite, the grass was so beautiful! We ate chicken for dinner, cooked on the grill, and I practically got eaten alive my misquitoes. Later, we went on a night excursion to the beach, but it took longer than expected so we didn't arrive until after 9. We were all so tired and there was nothing to see because it was so dark, so after playing with the mysterious glowing slime, we headed back shortly.






































The next morning we woke up at 5 and drove down to the beach right as the sun was rising. i'd have to say that it amazes me every time, The sunrise would have to be my favorite thing to photograph, hands down.
After falling asleep on the beach for a couple hours, and waking up scorched, we headed home. we were tired, but it was worth it.
