Okay so today I have really had the Lord on my mind and before I go into all of that I just want to share the song I am listening to yall. See the way he holds the stars in his hands see the way he holds my heart for God is a lover looking for a lover so he fashioned me With just one pulse of your heart with just one pulse of your heart I’m in love. Any ways I love this God made it all stars and all. What really stuck out to me was stars. I love stars. I remember that when I first moved here I would tell all of my friends I can see the stars. It makes me think of the Father saying look Christy I have put diamonds in the sky just for you. And as the saying goes a diamond is forever and they are. Which then got me thinking about the star god used to guide the way. And that got me thinking why a star? I know Bible philosophers will say something dealing with how the stars were there to guide the way and the worse men use to base things on the stars and constellations. But when thinking I realized God wants us to be focused on him and he will guide us. God gives us the beauties of the earth and sky and wants us to look at that and see him and he will make the path so much easier. On a different note though I stumbled upon a quote and read it. A true call of a christian is not to do extraordinary things but to do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Wow! This got me thinking about Jesus. Ya he healed people and performed miracles, but what did he do most? He did the simple ordinary tasks in an extraordinary way. He just spoke to the people, he went to those not wanted. He got down and dirty. He helped and encouraged those who he came in contact with. He did not go all over the world or even searching for someone but the people who he walked by in the market place. Do we encourage the cashier who rings us up? We could be the only Jesus they see. This was easily seen today black Friday. These workers have been on their feet all day and we are bitter and mean to them. I may not have been rude or anything like that but I sure did not see myself as an encouragement to them. I was no different than any of the other people around me. Wow! Reality check to me. However I am trying to be a light at my mom’s work. We will see if I can encourage the people at Belk. Well I better be getting to bed but I wanted to share all of the info with you and to tell yall I got a new outft, two pairs of shoes and a purse today! Yay!
Hi I’m Christy and how can I be of assistance? November 28, 2008
Wow so Thanksgiving! So many things you can think of during these times. We think of the many blessings we have. However I really got to thinking and I always wonder if I am a blessing to someone else. Do people look at me are encouraged and are thankful to have me in their lives? The semester is almost up. I want to make sure that I leave having encouraged as many people as possible. My prayer would be that God would use me to help us finish out strong. I really have been shy and standoffish when God has spoken for em to do it. There is no excuse for this and so let me know how can I pray for you and how can I encourage you. I would love to sit down with anyone personally and just listen to them and pray for them. Let me know!
Fraud! What would you do with millions? November 25, 2008
Okay so I am a little upset. I recently received an email from a lady in London who was dying and had all of this money and wanted it to be used to help people know God. I didn’t quite trust her but I replied back anyways telling her that if this is a joke that it’s wrong and to be doing that would be taking the Lord’s name in vain. She emailed me back today and told me how she was not joking and sent pics and everything. However before I responded I looked up info on her. I found out that it was a scam. People had posted the same letter and the same pictures. This was really sad. I knew it couldn’t be true but the thought was so exciting. It got me thinking what would you do with millions of dollars to do God’s will? I would love to have that opportunity. I could start churches, help children, help students with no chance of going to college because of money get an education, and soooo much more. This is so disappointing. Okay well on a lighted note what have I been up to? I have been bored out of my mind these past few days. However after today I will be fine. My sister and I are going to Liberty tomorrow to do somethings. then we are going to the mall so I can get my hair cut and shop the sales at my mom’s job. Oh and I have to return somethings I ordered online and they were too big. Then we will probably rent a movie and watch it. Thursday is Thanksgiving and a friend of mine is coming to join us for Thanksgiving. Friday will be an early morning to hit up all of the sales, I will probably come home and sleep after that. Saturday Will be a day to get caught up on somethings. Sunday people will be returning so I might do something with them. And Monday classes start up along with auditions. So be in prayer. Okay well I am going to go and take a shower. TTYL
God Bless, Christy
A man worth waiting for! Does he exist? November 24, 2008
Wow! Okay so tonight I was talking to someone about relationships. I had mentioned how I don’t date and the other person was taken by surprise. I simply said yes I know I am weird but I just know God will show me who I am supposed to be with. During this time I am waiting to hear from God and for him to show me the one I should marry. Most people have looked at me like I am really weird and then try and tell em if I am waiting for a guy to come and not date and have the same mentality as you on the subject well you must be crazy. That person doesn’t exist. Well tonight was really no different. They tried to humor me with the topic but ended up sounding just like the other people. It is really hard. I know there are other people out there seeking God especially in this area. Even if I am the only one well it doesn’t matter. Well as if that wasn’t enough another person was talking to me about how tired she was for dating the so called good guys who just break her heart. Sh asked what are the things I look for in a guy. I started telling her how i look for a guy who is so immersed in God that he makes me want to be a stronger christian girl, a guy who longs to be a father, a man with similar interests as mine, a man who is pure, a man who comes from a loving christian family, and things like that. Well for her to tell me i am too picky. Well again Satan is trying to get to me and to be quite honest he is succeeding. I pray for my future beloved and if he is having the same struggles as I am well God will strengthen him. Well i better go!
God Bless, Christy
A family of my own! November 23, 2008
Okay so first if I sent you a message and said to read my newest post well it’s the one below! lol I just remembered something that happened last night and I just had to share it. Last night Sarah and I went to see a movie and after words we decided to go and say good-bye to some of my friends in My Fair Lady. So we were waiting and when the show ended this cute little girl who I was told by her was 8 came and talked to me. I loved her company. She had the cutest little shoes. I had the most enjoyable converstaion with her. This really made me think how I can not wait to have children of my own. With the holidays approaching fastly makes me excited however I wish I had my own husband and kids to spoil. My prayer is for my future family. I can not wait to have fun with my kids. I know I will take them out and dance in the rain, we will play pretend, we will sing to Jesus, and I can not wait to be a mother to help her children be the world changers they are. I can not wait to have my own husband to support his ministry in any way possible. I can not wait to do laundry, cook, and clean for my own family. I know this is totally random but it is what is on my mind right now. I write what is on my heart. I guess this is on my mind because of the fact that Thanksgiving is coming up and I have been thanking the Lord for the things he has given me and the things he will give me. Also seeing Katie all pregnant just makes me so excited to have my own. Well I hope this doesn’t scare anyone. haha I say this mostly for my male readers. I am picky and yes I want to have a family and if it makes me weird as most think I am well sorry. Well I am going to have to get off here. I would just keep on talking crazy lol. Okay Much love!
God Bless, Christy
Title goes here! lol November 23, 2008
Okay so I am having some mixed emotions right now. One I am happy I have made some awesome new friend. Sarah, Tony, Michael, and even more than I can’t name. However I am really sad that I don’t get to go home and see my friends who might as well be family instead I am here alone. haha Okay don’t get sad cause another happy moment is I get to see them soon. Back to sad moment though is I have heard from some of my middle school girls and I am so happy for that but some of their stories tear me up. One of the girls feels she is worthless and no longer likes being called the names she has been called. She also didn’t seem to understand why fooling around with guys was wrong. I am so angered by our society making these awesome girls feel like nobodies. Which is odd cause they are Princess’ of the most high God. My father the king has won the war I have read the stories. My prince and fiance died for me and came back for me. My father gives me the bestf o the best. Why are these treasured young beauties being treated like trash. This kills me and makes me so mad. Who’s fault is it? The church is the problem. We as the church should be uplifting eachother and not tearing eachother down. We need to make every girl no matter what feel like the princess she is. I pray for my christian sisters they all struggle ith the same things. Please be in prayer for this especially this young girl. It tears me up knowing this and feeling like I can do nothing to help. Okay so on a lighter note, I have a week off. Then I have 3 days of classes, and then 3 exams. Plus coffee house, christmas convo, and a caberae. I can’t wait. Then I get to go to Statesville and then to Rock Hill or Rock Thrill lol not but still. I can not wait then I get to go and help Kelly and learn about my profession. Well I better go. I hope I hear from you all my phone is on and I am online all the time. I would love to be entertained. Well Much Love and Keep on Keepin on!
God Bless, Christy
A glimpse of Heaven! November 16, 2008
Okay so I watched the lord fo the rings tonight/today. I was overcome with emotion when at the end of the third one Frodo is in his bed and the people keep coming in and rejoicing. Saying things like good job. They were all happy. I wonder if heaven will be like that. All of the people we know coming in excited to see us and celebrating with us. Another thing that struck me was Gandolf the father figure of Frodo sitting at the bed. And he was the first one he saw when he woke up. I can see our father sitting there waiting for us and when we see him he smiles and laughs happily. God is alive! Pray for strength and that you would continue to strengthen my relationship with him.
God Bless, Christy
Didn’t do anything! November 16, 2008
Okay so last night I returned to the school picked up Lawrence and then picked up the girls. We went to the mall and Kohls. Then to the clubhouse for a time of fellowship. I then had to go to pick up my friends and I was late. I was in a hurry and got all turned around. I turned around and almost hit a car that I did not see through all of the fog. The car was filled with men of African American decent. They were very angry and were threatening me about to get out of their car and come after me. I was terrified. I went the way I though I was to go and ended up on the interstate. I was so shaken up I was crying I finally found my way back to Liberty and had to have my mom coach me on how to get her. The evening was rough if you couldn’t tell and well I didn’t exactly go to bed early either. I had to wake up early to get my mom to work on time and it was tough. I made my sister come with me so I wouldn’t fall asleep on the road which really almost happend. I then came home slept for a few hours and then retuned to work I had to take a Psych. test and clean my room. Laundry well I never got to it. I never accomplished anything really. So tomorrow will be one of those days of tons of work.
Who can make us happy? November 14, 2008
Okay so today I went to class with my wonderful CFAW Hannah. I was so blessed for her to come and spend the day with me. I came home while she went to nap and decided just to spend some alone time. It felt sooo good. Then my family came home and I had this extremely weird urge to listen to music from Lord of the rings. SO I did. Complete dorky moment I know but I just had to. I should be leaving soon to meet back up with Hannah. Okay so topic of the day is Psalm 4:6 “Many are asking,’Who can show us any good?’ Let the light of you face shine upon us, O Lord.” Okay so this hit home to me. People are asking who can show us any good. People are looking for ways to make themselves happy. God is the only way. I pray for all of yall that the light of the Lord’s face will shine down upon you. I know this was short but I really don’t have too much to say. Much love and always in his service.
God bless, Christy
Trust is kinda a Big deal! November 14, 2008
Wow so I am so proud of myself as you should be for being able to write to yall everyday. I am so happy to receive your emails on how people actually read this. I am sooo happy right now because I am listening to Christmas it just hit me it is close. I realized today that including the days I have to take the exams I have 3 classes of Theatre History 7 classes of Basic Acting 3 class of Psych 210 2 classes of Evangelism and then off to Rock Hill. I can not wait to see everyone and I hope I can do many things with yall before I return. Well after my fun times I am going to go to Myrtle Beach with Kelly and will be doing my practicum. I am so excited. We will have a total theatre people filled night. Oh today we had the other of our text book come to Evan his name is Alvin Reid he spoke on relationships on how we don’t make relationships with people like we should. Since the class is an all girls class he also had a talk about the guys we should be looking for and he did a very good job of speaking. I was highly impressed. Tomorrow I have Basic Acting and then lunch with my class and then shopping hopefully. I have not finished finding clothing for my practicum. I hope everything goes smooth when I am down there. I am so blessed that I get to do it with Kelly and the fact that I have a ride there. Thank you Daniel! Well and Stevie and anyone else who is going to be helping me get on the highway of success lol ya that was bad sorry I won’t try anymore. Okay well I am not sure if I will be going shopping ro not tomorrow. Things aren’t looking to promising. However I did order online a new pair of jeans, a hoodie, and a new coat. Yay! I can not wait until it arrives. Okay so my wisdom of the day for today is on trust. I know I have not written one of these in a while so here you go. My verse of topic is Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart lean not on your own understanding. Also Psalm 37:5 says Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. Okay so what has been on my mind is my future as many people wonder what am I going to be doing 5 years from now will I be married and to who when will this come to pass. The questions can at times overwhelm ya. Something that keeps coming to mind is you are not to go out and make it happen the way you feel it should. You must trust the Lord to make it happen on his timing and in his way. This does not mean that we should sit on our rear and do nothing we need to do the steps but through understanding that he will direct those paths we travel on. The verse in Proverbs says not to trust on your own understanding but to me I think this can go as far as to say what the world tells us to. I know with females we are being told we can do everything a man can do so we should be the hunters. We are to go out and find a guy and make the first move. Incorrect! God wants us to have so much trust and faith in him that we will send someone our way. This can go hand in hand with the verse from Psalm We can tell him what we want and leave it with him. He will make it happen. This does not mean that we are to ask for…. well sticking with dating this one guy God will listen to what we ask for but he mays say listen I have something better. God wants the best for his children. Royalty deserves the best. The thing is though we need to trust. That is what I have been trying to do for a while but it is so hard. Pray with me and join with me to trust the Lord. Well have a truly blessed weekend. God Bless, Christy
