Haiti Bound
So much has been going on. I have been working, going to school--even in the freakin' summer (I know I'm crazy--I just want to be done with school), going to church.. Just living life, ya know?! I have some really exciting news. Its something I prayed about A LOT! When i say A LOT... I mean A LOT!
God just really put it on my heart to use my time this summer to serve others. My church just purchased land in Jeremie, Haiti, and plans to begin construction of an orphanage, school, and church are underway. There are over one million orphans in Haiti and it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the developing world. I have always had a desire in my heart to work with hurting children and this opportunity came about. My heart has been moved to bring help and hope and love to the people we minister to. My youth group is taking a team of young people to Haiti July 11-18 and I will be going with them. We are going to bring resources and encouragement to the people that live in Jeremie, Haiti, and planting seeds of a long term relationship with them. We will primarily be focusing on the young people in the area and showing them the love of Jesus will be our first goal. On the trip we will also visit an orphanage in another city that is already in operation and we will serve the orphans and the staff there in whatever way we can. I know this will be a life-changing experience for me and I pray it will be life-changing for those I will have the opportunity to serve in Haiti as well. I pray that we will develop relationships that will last for many decades to come.
I will be sure to update you on the trip in the future when i get home (: I am sure i will have PLENTY of stories to tell!
I am SUPER SUPER EXCITED!

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME?!
I love my Jesus with every fiber of my being...
I am super super loud...
I am very paranoid...
I love people, a lot...
I want a million kids...(okay maybe i'm exaggerating)
I would love to maybe adopt one day...
I have a passion for serving...
I am obsessed with sock monkeys...
I don't usually think before I speak...
I tend to get shy when first talking to someone (But I'd do whatever it takes to make you feel welcome.)
I have a hard time trusting people...
I use to hate when people would walk up to me and sing "Georgia on my mind"...
Now i just say , "Who's mind am I not on?" (totally sarcasm)
I have a crazy obsession with boots...
I am the only 18 year old you know that has 4 jobs, school, and church 5 days of the week!
I do not like to depend on people... I am very independent!
My favorite bible verse is Exodus 4:6 ...
It says : The LORD, the LORD the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness." <3
People never believe me when I tell them I have NEVER dated, they do not believe me..
Well please believe it. Only God knows who I will marry..
He has someone extra special and loving for me, and in His timing, we will unite...
I gave my life to Christ at the age of 13...
Goodwill = love...
Most importantly I love Jesus with all of my heart....
And i live my life to serve him...
I live my life to be just like him and to spread his love all over the world...
I hope to one day change millions of lives...
I am going to let His will be done!

Have you ever?
Have you ever felt super weird and out of place?
Have you ever felt awkward around the people who care about you the most?
Have you ever been so short tempered, that you get irritated with yourself over your own thoughts?
That has been me lately. For the past two weeks I have been so short tempered and not okay with the thought of hanging out with people that I care about--much less anyone for that matter. Just for the simple fact that I have been feeling really awkward in ever situation I am in. I am usually a happy go lucky--talk to me , because i like to talk kind of girl (that was probably a bit confusing--but I am sure you get the point.) But lately I have just wanted to be the sit back and relax please don't talk to me, because I am not too into talking right now kind of girl. I have had probably had the SHORTEST temper you have ever seen. That's usually not like me at all--I am just starting to notice these things also. But like my sister can like ask me to barrow something (usually clothes) and I just get so snappy, or if my mom tells me to do something, I find myself getting a huge attitude. Maybe I have been on break from school too long, and I have been stuck in the house more than usual. When school is up and running I am usually never home--when school is out, thats a different story. Maybe the 21 day fast is getting to me, like im getting really irritable because I am craving stuff. I do not know, I like to blame it on other stuff as you can tell. Well I was looking up bible verses to help me remind myself to not be so snappy--and I was reading through some stuff and came across a bible verse I have used on here before--it is:
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its on way; it is not irritable or resentful..."1Corinthians 13:4-5
I know I have used this verse before--but it is perfect to just repeat back to myself to say "Hey Georgia, its kind, its not arrogant, and its not irritable." I love that.
That is me on normal days--days not like these! Can you tell, I love people... A LOT!

HIS love is willing...
The other night. I was lying in my bed--talking to a friend on Facebook chat. A friend that had fallen in an out of Christianity at times. Times when she needed God the most, I told her I missed her and I loved her. I did not know what to say-I had no words at all. I told her I missed her, and she told me "don't make me cry." I did not know what to say. Well i was also at the time browsing around looking for videos on Youtube--I came across the most beautiful video ever. It was titled "How He Loves | A Story." In this video the guy said "His love is a love that is willing to love things that are messy and willing to love an even difficult and even the gross things." In that instant I sent her the video. She loved it. But theres a bigger point to this post.
What is "love"? The words "I love you", are they overused? The one and only most beautiful phrase--that consist of only three words, why is it becoming so meaningless? WHY? WHY? WHY?
I have this saying i really like and it is "How can you go out and love complete strangers, if you cant even love the people around you?" and I posted it on Facebook--then a friend of mine, made a beautiful point. She said " You can't really love the people around you until you learn to love yourself. Can't love yourself until you know that God is love." WOW! Is all i could think. So true, right?
Do you ever just dream of being loved? Being loved by "the one" the one that was made perfect for you? JUST FOR YOU! Gosh I do! When you see teenagers--or even grown people that tell their significant other of only two days or two weeks that they love them. Do you think they really love each other? Do you think they grew that strong of a bond in like 2 days? Do you think they left enough time in their relationship to center it around God? Do you think they even know each other?
I do in fact believe in love at first sight-you know spontaneous love? But i do believe that you should take time to get to know each other, to center your relationship around God. So when you do get married and have a loving relationship, when you have kids, you can raise your kids in a home filled with the love of Christ. Filled with beautiful men and woman that are walking in the footsteps of God, men and woman that do not want praise for what they do, because they aren't doing it for themselves. They are doing it for God.
I love you is said and shortened in so many ways. Some common ways are:
I love you is said and shortened in so many ways. Some common ways are:
- luv ya
- ily
- i luv yew
- iluv u
Why shorten it? Why not just say "I Love You?" I am not sure about you, but when I love, I love real. I like to take the time to really get to know someone--on a personal level. I think people re so beautiful. Everyone deserves to feel real love. Everyone deserves to feel the love of Christ. To have a relationship with Christ--because then you know what real love is. (:
Okay ill quit rambling. But i am going to leave you with the most beautiful verse about love. I am pretty sure you already know it. But..... I am going to give it to you anyways.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."-1Corinthian 13:4 GOD IS LOVE. <3
