Welcome to Gaia! ::

thats always good, nice to meet you ketche

Our chruch decided to go on a missions trip. I wanted to go but i didnt know if i could becasue I dont have a job or all to much of a money income. I just decided to give it to God, fully trusting in him. Well I was just approached every now and again and given differnt jobs. I really didnt think I had enough, but i decided not to count how much I had, becasue I knew God would supply for me. When the time came to send in the money, I just let my parents send it in because i really didnt want to know how much I had. Turns out I had enought and everything, but then I had to raise food money. Well I was still gettting jobs from misc. people, but I didnt think I would get enought, bc I really didnt get all that much, I think I worked like 2 weeks in all during the summer, and they payed me minimal wage. Well I went on the trip, still havent counting my money, so I tried to get the lowest costing thing on the menu whereever we ate. Now after the trip is over I counted the money out of courosity, I ended up with over $500 after paying for the trip and after eating 2 meals a day for a week. That was a real move of God, and I wanted to hold on to the money, because I have my own expences, like gas, insurance, i want to get a cd player for my car, i really want a paintball gun, but I heard God just tell me to give it all to him, so after a little fighting, i ended up giving it to him, Freely he has given me Freely i will give him. A little after i did this, I got a call from A&W about the applacation from June that I turned in, which was all God. We did an introview, and I am very shure I will get this job, becasuse I know God is the cause of this, and the guy was hinting like "Well if you had to could you start Monday?" or "Well it will be from 4-8 during the weekdays, if you are fine with that, and also a little weekends" and someother stuff that I forgot. I just know God is working in this situation, if I get it, all Glory Goes to God. biggrin

Hey everybody I have something to add to that, The guy at A&W called me today (Thurs.) and I'M HIRED!!!!!!!!! God is an awesome God!

Woohooo! Congratz! God rules!

My pastor got a call from a lady and asked if she could come with her to comfort her brother who's in the hospital. He was very busy and was thinking about not going. But the Lord told him to go one night and went and taught both of them about the Lord. Then, after 2 weeks that lady died and now my pastor is very thankful that he visited her before that happened. I am soo thankful of what the lord has done! biggrin

A miracle in my life is just being alive to talk to people. I was suicidal for a while after going through some really rough stuff in the past couple years, and cutting. I am now free of cuts, smile and laugh frequently, and have been truly blessed by God since I decided to go back to Him and committed my life to following Him, and trusting Him to keep me safe. (rough thing: being molested by my dad, him getting kicked out of the house when I finally told someone about it and got help, court things still going on a year later, please pray for me about that!!)

Last night, during the middle of my shower, God got a hold of me and said "David! Wake up! You need to focus on me!"

I got down, in the middle of the shower, and prayed.
For a good 15 minutes. For a good four minutes of that, I repeated, "God, forgive me." and stuff like that. Other than that, I prayed for everything and everyone I could think of.
In particular, I remember praying for my best friend, who isn't saved. I repeated stuff over and over like "God, please, let him come to know you." and "Let me.... or someone, be able to teach him about Jesus."
