Feb. 23, 2008 - -Iraq-
Hey Y'all,
I thought it would be a good idea to write another post. Not too much to say. My dad left for Iraq last Wednesday. Yepper, it was kinda sad. But, he's been there before and he'll be on base working on trucks. He's not like the guys that have to fight or anything, he fixes the trucks... Thank God! I'll be sure to post pics soon. My close friend Amanda had her 18th b-day party today!!! We went to the P.I. (fyi. Parris Island, it's a military base.) bowling alley. We had allot of fun. Out of 9 teens I came in third when it came to points, it was kinda cool. lol. We just finished up revival this week at my church. I was in North Carolina from Sunday-Wednesday. So, I only got to go to Thursday night's revival, then I had to work in the nusery for Friday night's revival. But it's all cool, I love watching all the little babies. as long as they aren't mine. lol. Well, I should go. Got to get stuff ready for church tomorrow. I don't remember what we are singing because I missed choir practice last Sunday!!! lol. Oh well, no one hears me any way, thank God! lol. I'll talk to y'all later!

Feb. 13, 2008 - Brian Moore's (Must-Read) Essay
Hey Y'all,
I recieved this forward from a close friend who is at BJU right now. I read over this e-mail again and again, and it brought me to tears. It's long but I think you'll really like it. At the bottom I'll write my reflections on the essay, it's very well done and I can't believe that a 17 year old boy could have such a way with words! He really inspired me!
Miranda
17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for
a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. "I wowed 'em," he later
told his father Bruce. "It's a killer. It's the best thing I ever
wrote." It also was the last.
Brian's parents had forgotten about the essay when a cousin found it
while cleaning out the teenager's locker at Teary Valley High
School. Brian had been dead only hours, but his parents desperately wanted
every piece of his life near them - notes from classmates and
teachers, his homework.
Only two months before, he had handwritten the essay about
encountering Jesus in a file room full of cards detailing every
moment of the teen's life. But it was only after Brian's death that Beth
and Bruce Moore realized that their son had described his view of
heaven. "It makes such an impact that people want to share it. You feel like
you are there." Mr. Moore said.
Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was
driving home from a friend's house when his car went off
Bulen-Pierce Road in Pickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from
the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was
electrocuted.
The Moores framed a copy of Brian's essay and hung it among the
family portraits in the living room. "I think God used him to make a point. I
think we were meant to find it and make something out of it," Mrs.
Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their
son's vision of life after death. "I'm happy for Brian. I know he's in
heaven. I know I'll see him."
Brian's Essay: The Room ...
In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the
room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall
covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in
libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical
order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly
endless in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew
near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that
read "Girls I have liked." I opened it and began flipping through
the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the
names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew
exactly where I was.
This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system
for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began
randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and
sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would
look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.
A file named "Friends" was next to one marked "Friends I have
betrayed." The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird
"Books I Have Read," "Lies I Have Told," "Comfort I have Given,"
"Jokes I Have Laughed at." Some were almost hilarious in their
exactness: "Things I've yelled at my brothers." Others I couldn't
laugh at: "Things I Have Done in My Anger", "Things I Have Muttered
Under My Breath at My Parents." I never ceased to be surprised by
the contents.
Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer
than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I
had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to fill
each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card
confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each
signed with my signature.
When I pulled out the file marked "TV Shows I have watched", I
realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were
packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the
end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of
shows but more by the vast wasted time that file represented.
When I came to a file marked "Lustful Thoughts," a chill ran
through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its
size, and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.
I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An
almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must
ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to
destroy them!" In insane frenzy, I yanked the file out. Its size
didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I
took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not
dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card,
only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it.
Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot.
Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying
sigh.
And then I saw it.. The title was "People I Have Shared the Gospel
With." The handle was brighter than those around it, newer, almost
unused. I pulled on it s handle, and a small box not more than three
inches long, fell into my hands. I could count the cards it
contained on one hand.
And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they
hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my
knees and cried out of shame, from the over-whelming shame of it
all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must
ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key.
But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him.
No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched
helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I
couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could
bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own.
He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to
read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me from across the
room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity
that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my
hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around
me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word.
He just cried with me.
Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at
one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign
His name over mine on each card. "No!" I shouted rushing to Him. All I
could find to say was "No, no," as I pulled the card from Him. His
name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red
so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was
written with His blood. He gently took the card back. He smile d a
sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don 't think I'll ever
understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant, it seemed
I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side.
He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, "It is finished." I
stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door.
There were still cards to be written.
Everytime I read it I get this shiver up and down my back. There's so much truth to what he said. I've done so many things in my life that I regret doing. We call ourselves christians but we do nothign with our faith. We go by everyday and think that because he has paid for our sins already, it's ok to sin as long as we repent later. I would go into this subject but it would take me far too long to discuss the matter. Besides, the emotional conflict I have with this issue is personal. I think it's personal to everyone in their own little way. So I would like to go deeper into the matter of the "Shared Faith" issue. We think that it's enough just being saved, that others will share the gospel when it's really up to all of us. We think that God saved us and it should be enough to live a boring life by obeying God and trying to stay out of sin. If everyone had this though-that someone else would share their faith so we wouldn't have to, or because we don't have time or don't have people skills because we are shy, no one would be reached. There are so many people out there hurting, they have this void in their heart. They have this burning desire to worship something, so they worship the sin that they are living in when that burning desire was put there by God so that they would willling WANT to serve Him. We need to be willing to serve Him so we can reach those hurting people. When you think about it, everytime you have the opertunity to witness to some one and you choose not to, you have made the decision not to save their soul from going to Hell. So many people tried to reach out to me when I was lost, I think it would be the least I can do to try to reach out to someone else like so many did for me. God died for us, all he asks is that we try to live a pure life and reach out to others. He knows we aren't perfect, and he doesn't expect us to be. He wants us to atleast try to be more like Him though, after all, we were made in His image... What kind of image are we setting for Him, not a very good one at all! I could go on and on but I have run out of time. May God bless you today as you reflect on this.

Oct. 17, 2007 - ~Farm Fest~
Farm Fest was great this year. I truly enjoyed it. I wish I could have had a little more time though. The day seemed to go by so fast. And I regret forgetting my pen and note pad at the house because the preaching was great. I don't remember it all word for word so I'll give you what I took out of it.
The first sermon was mainly on the issue of being "Trapped". We're often trapped in some type of sin, and we don't always know it. Some teens think that they can hang out with the "cool" crowd and do just a few things that they do and be safe. They think that if they do the harmless things and stay away from harmful things, they'll be ok. They're walking right into a trap. You can't put yourself in a situation like that and not hurt yourself and the ones you love. One day you're going to be so deep in sin and regret and you're not going to know how it started or how you got there.
Sin is an addiction. If you keep doing this one sin over and over again, when you decide not to do it you, won't be able to. It's hard to break addictions and often times most people can't break their addictions. It's just like with drugs, the more you take drugs, the more you're hooked on them. If you withdraw from them, you go crazy. If you quit taking them all together, the addiction is so strong and painful that you feel like your going to die and other issues arise. But in reality, if you don't stop you will die. It's really sad to see people addicted to drugs or alcohol.
Even relationships can be "Traps". Some girls say that they can hold hands and have everything under control. They say that they would never do anything wrong if left only with that "special" person. But who are they fooling? We are all sinners and have that sinful addiction to do things we shouldn't. Don't get me wrong, some girls are strong with their walk in the Lord and can face these kinds of challanges with ease. And that is a true blessing from God and they shoudn't waist it. But it doesn't mean they don't have to tell themselves over and over and over again to be careful. Because where and when there is temptation it's hard to do the right thing because of our sinful nature.
The second Sermon was on salvation. I think he did a great job preching on that subject. I was greatly encouraged to go out and be stronger in my faith and show the world that I have something they don't and I'm willign to share it with them.
And the thrid message was more or less on the subject of dedication to places like the missions field and other places. I really enjoyed it. A few years ago I had a made a commitment to the Lord that if my "future husband" was called to the mission's field, that I would be 100% supportive of his decision. I'm not saying that I'm going to go to BJU just to find a "Preacher Boy" and marry him. I've just decided that I'm open to whatever carrier my husband picks, as long as he's prayed long and hard about it and it's truly God's will.
And now for the pics. I'll try to post most of them. And I'll post some pics of my family and I at the park yesterday. Oh, and please be praying for my Great Grandmother. She is in her early 80's and she is going to have back surgery today. It worries me but I know that God will protect her and give the doctors' the wisdom and guidance that they need. Thank you guys!

Oct. 12, 2007 - ~Farm Fest~
Hey you guys,
just wanted to write real quick. Tomorrow is Farm Fest!!! I'm so excited!!! There's going to be around 1,500 teens!!! It will be so cool. It will be my last year too because I probably won't live here next Oct. But it's all cool. I'll be sure to take pics and post them when I get back. Well, I'll post them Monday because I have to leave my house around 4:30 a.m. so we can leave for Greenville, SC around 5:00a.m. Then I probably won't get back to the house until 1:00a.m the next morning. Then I have a couple hours of sleep before we go to church. So it will be crazy until Monday. I'll be dead tired Sunday too. lol. Oh well, it will be so much fun! Ok, I have to close.
Lee,
thanks for the comments!!! You were a cool SSA!

Sep. 5, 2007 - Expressions From the Heart...
Hey Everyone,
just thought I would write what I'm thinking about right now.
I've never really been all that confident about myself. I know that God is all I need so I shouldn't feel that way. God made me the person I am today, I shouldn't stress or worry about anything.
I've been struggling with something rather silly, it's been on my mind the last last couple of days. I've never really liked my appearance before. I'm not saying that I think I'm ugly or anything. I just thought that there were improvements that I could make, but I seemed too lazy to do anything about it. Last year, I think it was Feb. when I went up to BJU, I roomed with my old friend Holly. She had a room mate that is a director of a christian beauty pageant. She strongly encouraged me to run in it. She took lots of pics of me just for fun... Normally, I hate cameras! But I had so much fun! And it was the first time I actually felt good about myself. But I never really took the effort to look into the pageant. So I didn't run.
Well, a couple od days ago I was talking to a person I know , just about ordinary things, nothing big. And somehow we got into the discusion of what I wanted to do with my life. I simply said that I wanted to finish school, hopefully go to college, get married sometime after college, become a hair dressor and work at a salon until I had kids... Providing of course that my future husband is ok with me working until I have children. Then we went further into discution about doing great things. And not to sell myself short of what I wanted to become. And I was encouraged to start again a dream that I pushed aside. A dream that I had told myself, wasn't impotant and it didn't matter. I was then ecouraged to ask my parents about running in the next Miss Christian Internayional Beauty Pageant. Things still aren't certian of whether I will do it or not next summer. But I looked at my life, and my future differently afterwards.
So Now I want to encourage any young girl that feels like her dreams aren't impotant or that the things she wants to do now have nothing to do with her future.
God has great desires and plans for your life. Don't tell yourself, just because your too young or a christian, or whatever, that you can't chase your dreams... You can. As long as it's God honoring why not? Don't let people tell you your not smart enough, pretty enough or strong enough. You are an indivisual that can do whatever you set your mind to. The only one that can tell you no is God, and your parents while your under their roof. But why would your parents say no if it is God honoring? I'm sure they love you enough to support you and the dreams you have. And if God should close the door to your dreams, maybe it's too soon or not in His will, wait and see. Pray, always pray and stay in God's word. If your not walking in the Lord, chances are your not doing it for the right reasons. Make sure your thoughts are pure and that you will glorify God in what you do and not yourself. And work hard for what you want. It's more rewarding when you work hard for what you want. And don't ever tell yourself your not good enough. God made man in his image, and He made you the way he wanted. You are the way you are for a very good reason! God has a plan for your life and if you seek His will, you are bound to do great things! And your dreams are never the same as others. Remember that.
Some just want to be a stay at home wife/mother. And that's one of the hardest and most rewarding jobs in the world. Another hard, but most rewarding job in the world is a Pastor's wife. My pastor's wife is one of the most gifted women in the world. She is so patient and kind. I can talk to her about all my worries or problems and she always seems to have an answer. I love her so. I don't know how she can deal with all the stress and responsibility that she has.
In my case, if I run in the pageant I have a great opportunity to reach girls with a message. To encourage them about their looks and to be a vessel for God and share his message of salvation. And when I'm a hair dresser, I have the chance everyday to share God's message with women that come into the salon. And more importantly, when I become a mom, I have the chance of a life time to mold my children into the Godly person that God wants them to be. I will have a great responsibility to put in their hurts the burning desire to worship my Lord. I only hop ethat I will succeed. I just heared on the radio yesterday of a woman that is in her 70's. She is a christian and she was a fashion model and then opened her own beauty school. This whole time I thought I was being selfish about wanting to run in a pageant and that it had nothing to do with my future. If I did this, it would look better on my job applications. And even better, I will have had way more oppurtunities to spread God's message than to have sat in my bedroom the rest of the summer. And who knows, one day I might have my own Salon if I chase my dreams! No one knows the posibilities but God! Wow, I think I got waaaay off track. Anyway, don't throw away your dreams. And be confident in who you are, who God made you to be. I hope this encourages any one who might stumble across it. I have found a new confidence in myself and I just wish that I could show other girls the same thing, in some small way. I must close. God Bless!

Sep. 1, 2007 - Summer is Over...
Hey Everyone,
for most of you, summer is officially over. I have one more week before I start school. It's so sad! Where did the time go? It went by way to fast.
A few of my friends went back to college, and a few of them I probably won't see again once I move, sigh. But we will keep in touch. And I'll only be 6 or 7 hours away.
Anyway, I had allot of fun this summer! I really can't remember too many sad or bad memories. I remember allot of good ones though!
Next summer I will be 18! I'm so excited but scared at the same time. I'm starting to grasp the fact that I'm going to be facing allot of life changing decisions in the next few years. We make the most mistakes and decisions between the ages 17 - 27. That's the "Mistake Zone". But it's all cool.
I should close. Later days!

Aug. 16, 2007 - Back From Camp and Vacation
Hey You Guys,
I'm back from Camp. It was great. I had allot of fun and made some great decisions. When I got back Saturday my parents told me that I needed to unpack my bags, wash my clothes and pack them again because were were going to go back to North Carolina to visit some friends, then we went to Virginia to visit my boyfriend and his family. We all had allot of fun. When we were up in NC my parents went out to look at some houses since we will be going up there by the end of the year. When we went to VA I just kind of chilled. A group of us teens went out bowling and stuff. It was cool. And this week I've been babysitting two kids for a lady that is a school teacher. I'll be done this Wednessday. It's been fun and tiring. Anyway, I should close. I'll chat later. Here are two pics of James and I while I was on vaca.

Apr. 21, 2007 - To: Mrs. Betty Wade
Mrs. Wade,
I think it's weird that my blog came up in your search. lol. I'm actually from Texas. I do not know of any camps or classes in Texas, sadly. I went to Bob Jones University in Greenville South Carolina. They do have camps in the summer. They are costly though. I'm not exaclty sure what their website is but you can try BJU.org or Bob Jones Unviversity (ext.). I have friends who go to college their and one of them does interior design. I'm sorry I couldn't help. If you have any other questions you can leave a comment or a message on my blog. God bless.

Apr. 2, 2007 - Hello...
Hello Everyone,
How are you guys doing? I'm doing good. I've been doing allot of babysitting jobs lately. We had a teen activity last weekend but I stayed home and went out to eat at Jade Garden with a family we know from Georgia. They might becoming by again before they go back home from North Carolina. Dad has been real busy with school. We put tile in his bathroom and I think he is going to start on my mom's bathroom tonight. It looks really good. He's going to do our bathroom too. My step Grandma and a few of her sisters are going to come visit next month. My dad wants to finish the upstairs so he is taking about two weeks off. I'm hoping we can get our pool built by then too. So, has anyone already had their spring break? I haven't yet. If you have what did you do? Later days.

Mar. 13, 2007 - Busy weekend...
Hey you guys,
I had a busy, busy weekend. Friday the teens and juniors going to the Wild's Camp went to the church to price and orginize stuff for the yard sale we had Saturday between 3 and 5. Then we had our yard sale Saturday from 7am to 2pm. Well, I think we were going to end it around 1, but I don't remember when we left. We had allot of fun. I also babysat for some one Friday night, then babysat for my parents Saturday night. Then I had to watch my sister Sunday night because both my parents had to be at church so that the little kids could sing, my sis was sick. She got me sick too, grrrrrrrr. Not too much more to say.
Later Days.
