A Peace Beyond Understanding

I had just finished up with a meeting and was waiting on the next. I knew it would be awhile because I had been there 3 hours and been to only 5 of the 7 meetings I need to attend. So I open up my phone to finish up my game of “Bejeweled” I had been playing. That when I notice it. I had 4 voicemails, 12 missed calls and they all were from family this was all in less than 10 minute time frame. That moment my head began to swirl, I knew something was majorly wrong, but what? I grabbed my stuff and flew out of the room as I listen to the first voicemail from my older sister, Janella. My sister was sobbing uncontrollably, as she told me to call her back right away.

Time Out for Victory Sunday

On Sunday Sept. 19th we had a time where everyone in the church wrote out there "Victory" Song about what God has done for us. It was AMAZING!!! I was fighting a battle just that day and it only got worst from there but the Song has given me strenght. I just wanted to share what I said on that Sunday...

OVER

Have you ever felt over? Been so overtired that you feel like you would fall over? Been overcommitted and just overwhelmed at the rain cloud over your head? Overstressed, that anything might push you over the edge, especially if someone says “just get over it.” Even though you know things are not even close to being over!

Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Sunday School

Br. Meyers preached our Back to School ralley tonight and did a totally awesome job! Made me want to actually get excited about going back to school if I actually do sign up for classes!!! Anyways, have you ever read that story about Everything I ever need to know I learned in Kindergarten? Instead I learn I find more out in church and sunday school then I need to know in church. The following is basically a recap of Br. Meyer's incredible message but in poem form! This ~ as always ~ is rough draft but I never could wait for the final draft to post it! I get to excited. So let me know what you think! I'm still doing little switchs here and there! Jacqueline

July 21-23, 2010

I'm starting to believe that July 21st, 22nd & 23rd has changed the course of history for Apostolic Young People. I believe that week will go down as the most life changing, convicting, callings, and more then could ever be put down on paper or in a blog.

When God Lays a Burden on Your Heart…He Will Always Make a Way!

It was career week over 12 years ago, the place; freshman English, the project; our future career and me with a whole lot more guts & faith then I seem to have now. I stood before my class; I was a new convert, been in church maybe 6 months at this time but more likely less time. I can still see my report so vividly in my mind, I remember the desire I felt and the amount of faith that was so overwhelming. My career choice was a bold one, one that I would question over the next several years and maybe even for years to come. It took guts to stand before my peers and share this, it was not the easy path or the path well liked but it was my dream, my burden, my desire. So I began my introduction like this,

“My career choice is to be a missionary to Africa.”

15 years ago today...

I recieved the greatest gift ever...

The gift of the Holy Ghost!!!

♥Jesus Loves You So! ♥

Jesus Loves You! You’ve probably heard this a million times, seen it on bumper stickers and maybe even said it many times yourself. The words are so simple but have such a meaning. One of the most well known children song is Jesus Loves Me. Kids from all around the world have learned this song. But have you ever really thought about it. Jesus LOVES you! If you grown up in the truth this may seem simple concept but the world has made the word “Love” a word that easily flung around. Some use it in its true fashion but other use it take advantage, hurt, cause pain or so much more, till Love is Hate disguised in a Fake Red Heart that means nothing.

To be a mom.. Or what I've learned.

“I don’t want to be a mom!” she said, “It too much work!!!” I looked at her in shock, “Not want to be a mom??” I replied, “that my dream job!!!” Now she looked at me strangely, she was young still in her early teens! “All those dirty diapers, no sleep, not to mention 9 months of misery with stretch marks and not even mentioning labor! I’m telling you it not worth it!” Being the older and wiser one, I simple mumbled, “Yeah whatever you’ll feel different when you’re older.” And I think she did, cause she end up growing up getting married young and well she on baby #2 now!

Even more then I have imagined!

For years I drove by this house, and for years I would drive by and claim it in Jesus' Name!!! I loved the look of it, looked like a house out of a fairytale book only Arizona style! The place was always very nice and to be honest I have never seen a person stirring about. You could almost miss it if your not pay attention because it far back from the road but when you see it well it always got ooohs and awes. Bellissima Farm was it name and one day I always said it would be mine!
