Throw em up, Throw em up

The Gauntlet starts EARLY Monday morning (3:15am) and lasts until Friday evening. For those of you who don't know what the Gauntlet is, let me explain...
NewSpring Church takes a large group of high school and middle school students to Daytona Beach, Florida for one week. During that week there will be talks, worship and time to fellowship with the other people in their room. Each room has 3 students and one room leader, the room leaders are out of high school and most are volunteers at NewSpring. I believe there are over 1,300 students and over 400 volunteers...so the leaders are completely out numbered haha.

These would be great things to pray:
Please pray that God would awaken the hearts of these students.
Pray that we would all get a deeper understanding of God's love, grace and mercy.
Pray that hundreds of students come to know Christ and that these 1,300 would go on to impact the World with the Gospel! Also, please
Pray for all of the speakers, worship leaders, and everyone on staff who have been preparing for this event for months now.
Pray that the room leaders would remember that THIS IS NOT ABOUT US!!!
Lastly, pray that this wouldn't just be a fun, emotional high for the students but that this would start a fire in them that only grows stronger as they get older.

Thanks guys!!! Your prayers really do mean a whole lot to me!!!

New Job

Some random thoughts about my new job:

1. I'm the only employee that doesn't speak fluent Korean.
2. I'm the tallest of all the employees.
3. People get crazy when it comes to their phones.
4. I like having responsibilities and sales goals.
5. I have to dress like a grown-up, I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.
6. I'm going to get a lot of chances to share the gospel.
7. I'm the only girl that works in my store.
8. I'm praying and would LOVE for you to pray too that I wont waste my time at my new job.

"For the First Time"

This has felt like my theme song lately...

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While i'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time
I've got a new job now in the unemployment line
And we don't know how we got into this mess it's a gods test
Someone help us cause we're doing our best

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my flight
But we both know how we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked in the dirt

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah

We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these yearsWe just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first timeFor the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
