Busy, Busy, Busy

The last few weeks have been extremely busy for me. After attending the Tulsa workshop, I put all my focus toward school, the two retreats I was asked to speak at, and finishing my CSI sermon series. I am so looking forward to the end of this month as school will be out for a couple of weeks and I will be finished with my speaking engagements.

Last weekend I spoke in Pottsboro at the Meadow View Church's youth retreat! The topic I was given was "Can you hear me know?" Hearing and listening to God's voice. What a great weekend it was. The Youth deacon told me Sunday afternoon the group said it was the best retreat they had been on. I told him it wasn't me. It was God allowing me to be His instrument. However, I am a little wiped out right now! But there is no time to rest I will leave a week from Friday for Idaho to speak over the weekend at the Idaho Falls Church. They do a youth rally every year and I have been blessed with the opportunity to speak that weekend. I would ask that you keep me in your prayers and ask God to keep me out of the way and just use me as His instrument!

I have to say I am just speechless in regard to the events that took place yesterday at Virgina Tech. I just have no words. How anyone could wake up one morning and decide to take lives is beyond me. At the same time though as I listen to how the shooter is described my heart breaks for him. He is described as a loner and they are struggling to find information about him. My heart breaks because no one should be alone in this life. I wonder how different yesterdays events would have been different if he had someone to talk with. Someone to help him. My heart breaks because I know my Jesus would have been there for him. He would have helped! My heart goes out to the families and students. May God grant them the peace and comfort that only He can provide.
