IMU

So I kinda want my best friend home SOON...okay NOW, please?

Countdown till Gab's home: 4 Days
Unfortunately their passport and tickets were stolen a few days ago. And I really really really don't want to add anymore days to that countdown.

The THING is, I have no idea how i'm feeling right now, i've never been the one to pin point a feeling and know what is bothering me at the time. Yet me and Gab usually go through things at the exact same time, and I'm kinda hoping if she were here she may have it a little more figured out than I.

The TRUTH is, i know god uses all for good, you give him evil he WILL turn it into good. Even if this is not intentioned I know good will come from this. And I know she kinda wants to stay and although her mom and sister have to get back this may be a way of telling her it might be good for her to stay. But I know she will read this so lets not put thoughts in her mind okay because i'm feeling selfish right now and want her home :P

Jesus I am so in love with you

This weekend has been many things, and no one word could even begin to describe it.
If there was a word for AMAZING X 231245765435675767867656542634 that would be it, and there is, that word is God.
Conference was this weekend, and i'm always expectant.

I went into it pretty sick. Like I should have been laying on the couch with a box of Kleenex sick. What is amazing is a prayed for strength and healing all week and weekend and i'm just blown away at how god answered my prayers. He was like my box of Kleenex or my Buckley's. As soon as I prayed I felt completely not sick. Of course my nose was a little runny and there were a small rough parts but for the most part I didn't even believe I was sick until i got home at the end of the day or went for lunch in between sessions today.

Second of all the passion and love our youth has for God it so inspiring. I am so in awe of the many people younger than me. Tonight i was not by any leader during worship beside Sam and every single one of them had both hands thrown in the air worshiping to songs the had never even heard. I stood there in awe of the passion these youth had and in awe of God and completely blown away in the beauty of it all. These are the moments that I am reminded how great God's love is and why I do all that I do.

I was also reminded how much I love love love my friends. I have come to surround myself with such amazing people and I adore who I do life with. This Friday I failed my N test for the third time. No sooner than an hour later they show up at my door with flowers and we head to the beach. These girls, I know have been placed in my life for a reason. They push me and challenge me and inspire me in all that I do. Each on of their relationship with God very different but so strong all the same, that is is so easy to feed off of each other and grow together on our journey with God.

I came to a realization today between sessions. The four of us had all felt conference was not the same as we had always remember it. We felt held back, distant a tad if you will. That there was some spiritual block. I do know there was many reasons for this, searching for the answer we pulled into the church parking lot turned up the music and just worshiped god. I felt I just had to sit in his presence in awe of him. God was just telling me slow down your mind, your thinking to much just listen. It was the words that had been spoken all week. We need to slow down, we are so good at busying ourself and filling time. And as I sat there speaking in tongues and just worshiping God, I new he would make me fall in love with him all over again tonight, and for sure did.

I ended my night at the end of white rock pier singing worship songs with some of the most amazing people I know; Acting like fools on fire for Jesus.

Some times are rough, but Jesus I am so in love with you.

BEST CELL PHONE EVER!

The back of my cell phone was rather drab
so know I
LOVE IT <3
and its unlike anyone elses :)

21 DAYS UNTIL GABRIELA ADRIANA TARVES COMES HOME =)

It has been very weird without my best friend around.
And sadly I've missed her punches.

Feeling Inspired.

So I saw the movie The Last Song today. For some reason i'm a big fan of Miley Cyrus's stuff, being that her music and her movies. The movie was pretty darn good. I'm compelled to start reading Nicholas Sparks novels. He wrote this, along with A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, and Dear John. The movie as a whole made me realize how much I want to be able to play the piano or any musical instrument.

So my summer project - teach myself piano. I think it would be amazing to learn, be able to possibly write some music and just use the talent to worship god.
I have also decided I am putting my kids into music when they are young because I think every child should be given the opportunity of the gift of music.

I have also been inspired to start drawing/painting again. I've always known i can be quite a good artist but I never really give myself a chance, or give myself time to.
Sometimes I feel like a don't have a passion. Thats not the truth I just think I don't really follow it.

And its really bugging me that i can't make my posts creative, stupid internet. =(
