My life in 3D!

Hey guys :)
So Molly has encouraged me to attempt a more normal blog post. Haha, who knew that such a friend as she would encourage me to be normal? (just kiddinggg ;) So here's whats been going on in my life as of late.
I've pretty much been booked solid. lol. I was actually thinking about it today and I really have been like super busy every day for the past month or so. And I love it. You all probably know me well enough to know that I thrive on being busy. A few of the weeks though, between going to my grandparents, and going to friends houses (for fun and work!) I didn't sleep in the same bed two nights in a row. I was actually getting a taste of being on the road. It wasn't too shabby. ;) So my main source of business has been National Day of Prayer. Just in case there's any confusion; God basically dropped the "cooridnator" position of our church's National Day of Prayer event this year in my lap. And it's really been a blessing. I'm so excited to be a part of something that was started by someone whom I miss and love a lot..But I'm also excited about it because it's such a great thing. Gathering local Christians to pray for our country. I firmly believe that God hears us whenever we pray (and even when we don't) and our prayers change His heart. I also firmly believe that our country needs mega prayer! So this was definitely something God had for me.
I'm pretty sure He confirmed it to me in an awesome way as well:
So I was going through a tough time one night, and I just begged for God to drop something in my lap. And He did--Psalm 33. It's amazing. I suggest you all read it. And a few days later my band played for youth group. I was planning on sharing this Psalm with my youth group, but when I got there my youth leader quickly asked if we could possibly go with the theme to close the night. The theme was going along with the movie Amazing Grace (awesome movie, i suggest you all watch it. lol) So I immediately thought, "ah man, this psalm doesn't apply at all..God give me something else!" The night continued, and I vainly attempted to try and find something else in the Psalm's that I thought would apply more; nothing was coming. So I sighed like an oblivious human and after the movie our band got up. And no matter what I did, I couldn't shake the feeling of needing to share this psalm..So I took the plunge! And let me tell you: God is so smart! haha. For real, this Psalm 33 applied so much more than I could have ever imagined. I practically started crying as I read it. In my heart I was screaming, "God you're too good. You are really too good."
Fast forward to not too long ago..I had expressed my interest to my youth leader early in the year of wanting to be involved with NDP. But no one had stepped up yet; and my youth leader happily suggested that I step up. (=O YIKES!) haha. So I prayed about it, and before I could even really reply, God did. And I was the one. But then I found out that, get this, the theme verse for The National Day of Prayer this year is (hold your breath) Psalm 33:22 "Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, just as we hope in You."
So yeah, basically there's no plausible doubt in my mind that I'm not where God wants me. And so many people have stepped up and told me they're willing to help, which is so stellar. I'm really stoked about what God's going to do in Haslett Park, Ft. Plain on May 7th, 2009
(yeah, that wasn't a plug or anything..)

Lots of love everybody :)
