Wasting away...

A few days ago I was really convicted about how much time I spend doing "stuff". It may be good "stuff" or it may be me being really lazy doing "stuff". Either way I look at it...most of the time I am not being a good steward of my TIME.
I am just flat out going to say it...I haven't picked on my Bible since last week. And do you know what's funny, I can tell! I can tell that haven't read my Bible. It's weird...but I have got to stop NOT reading my Bible.
I went home this weekend and mom bought me the study guide to Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper. I read this book about a year and a half ago and it just helped me so much and now I can't wait to dive into it again with the study guide...with my Bible along by my side!

I would ask that...if anyone is reading this...that ya'll pray that I will start reading my Bible everyday! No matter what is going on! And that during this book study that God will help me with everything that I am still going through.

I never thought that being "on my own" would be so hard. But God has been so incredibly good to me theses past few months. I know that I wouldn't have been able to make it this far without His grace, mercy, and love in my life!

Praise be to God!!

Love&Peace,
Me

Woops!

Wow...I am a loser!
I haven't posted in like a really long time! I'm sorry!

So let's see...what's been going on...um, I'm done with training for my job and I start this week doing stuff on my own which I'm really excited about! God has been so merciful in giving me the best trainers! They are really patient with me and love to help me when I don't know what I am doing. The whole team is like that actually...God is good!

I would ask that you guys be praying for me in the area of witnessing/being a light. My atmosphere at Panera consists of girls (and maybe a few guys) that are all younger than me, still in high school and are all out in the world. One girl does go to church, but I don't know where she stands with her walk with God. I just want to be a shining light for them! They all know that I go to church and a few have asked me questions about God and that kinda stuff. Please pray that God would give me the words to speak to them and that I would have to boldness to tell them about our wonderful Savior!

I just got back from a few days being at home. It's so nice going back and being with my family. They are all so wonderful and I miss them terribly.

Thanks for your prayers guys! And would also ask...how can I be praying for YOU?

Love&Peace,
Me
