He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane,
I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah,how He loves.
So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way
That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves
This song is really just "rocking my world" right now, i guess you could say. I find it funny how you can hear songs multiple times and then one time the words and meaning just really "click" thats how i have felt this summer with this song.
especially what i highlighted the line that says "I dont have time to maintain these regrets when i think about the way, he loves us" this is just - man hard to even describe because i feel this summer i have begun to realize the vast Glory of God and how I dont have time to be upset about things in the past or things i have done wrong instead i should realize the incredible and grace from my Savior and begin living now proclaiming to everyone how much He does love us and how incredible His love is...
check the song out - its awesome

BigStuf Camp 09
This past week I have been in Panama City Beach with the youth group from first baptist as they attended BigStuf Camp. I had never been to BigStuf before, but i had been to a couple church camps so i kinda knew what to expect. This was fun and kinda different though in that we were staying at a hotel on the beach which was awesome. One night we had worship out on the beach and it was just impeccable and then every night we had a designated "quiet time" and i always chose to do mine on the beach watching the sunset and looking out over the ocean.
I was technically an "adult leader" for the group i was in charge on 5 middle school girls! I know, I know...but they were great! it was alot of fun and they were full of questions which was awesome, i really think God touched their lives in individual ways and it was awesome to see!
But even though i was not a "student" it was an awesome event and I really felt God speak to me in ways I had not felt before. The last night we were there (wednesday night) - words can honestly not describe. We went into worship and started off the night with worship songs that were old and hymns and then all the way to the present which was great. then the speaker did an awesome job, they had a time of decision and there were tons of decisions made in the group of 1500...and we even had one boy in our group give his life to Christ which was just such an awesome moment! After that, the band came back out and played a couple more songs but the building was just on fire - God was impacting lives in so many ways that the people leading worship actually felt lead to have another time of decision and even more people raised their hands - Praise the Lord! it was just AWESOME! well the boy in our group was so sure of his decision and everything that he decided he didnt want to waste anytime and he wanted to get baptized right then - so after the like 2 hours of worship in song because it was just pumpin and no one wanted to stop - our who group went down to the water at like 11:00 and watched our fellow friend make the most important decision of his life!
I honestly am still processing everything that happened because it was truly indescribable for the first time it seemed as though i was at a complete loss for words. I pray that the feelings and thoughts never leave...there were some awesome moments i got on video and picture..i will upload them in a new post cause this one is getting lengthy!!
love you all and God loves you more!

Slacker.
Well, I guess you can call me a slacker because i have not been doing very well on blogging. I admit i have been quite consumed with Twitter it seems. But in the mean time I have been working, still doing my online class, and getting things ready to move to tuscaloosa in about oh 17days! I am really excited, i will actually only be going back for a couple days to move furniture and what not into my apartment and then will be going back around the 16th for class and the beginning of school!
This past weekend, i bought pots-pans, a vacuum, and even kind of figured out what bedroom furniture i will be using which is something that i really needed to do....there is still packing and stuff to do in order to be ready t0 move back up there but im trying to get a head start!
I am currently "working" on some online work...but this weekend i will be heading to Panama City Beach to help CHAPERONE - yes chaperone, like im old enough to be in charge of the kids going to camp - the youth from first baptist as they go to Bigstuf camp! should be alot of fun!

Mexico...Wednesday!
Well I haven't blogged as much because its long days and I get tired at night! But today was great! We worked in the colonials (basically slums)with pastor Felipe's church doing vbs and what not...there was a ton of kids and families, awesome! We fed lunch and practically ran out of food but everyone got something, it was like Jesus feeding the 5000! Hopefully that will go again tomorrow as we feed everyone that comes or try to and give out foodboxes..
This is always sad to me because we always run out...no matter how many we bring..and I hate telling people no.
We are just hanging and then will have a worship service and meeting tonight then tomorrow is an all day affair but ends with the chicken place - pollo buenavista- the most wonderful restaurant in nuevo laredo mexico!! Its scorchin hot and we had one team member actually have to go to the hospital but doing better! So pray for our strength and that tomorrow we show God's love!!
