~*~ OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD ~*~
He provides us the answers to our prayers when we need to be shown the path that lies ahead. Not always does he provide these answers in a way we know how to interpert them, but with much prayer the answer becomes clear. That I praise God for. Amen, He keeps us strong through the hard times, and carries us in our time of need. He is always faithful when others seem to let you down. Our God is an Awesome God, and has nothing to hide! Amen

There is one ultimate definition of Friend, the one that the Bible presents:
Romans 15:7 "Jesus chose you to be his friend. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."
For those of you who go to Bethany you know this is Holiness Advancement Week, and service last night was very touching for some. It was not only the message that was preached it was the ending time in prayer that impacted my life. God gave me great inspiration to be a better person for Him, to stop kidding myself and get serious with my walk. This is almost something that came as a shock to me, I thought that my walk with the Lord was good, I was doing devotions, prayer, everything that... well, is required... but I was not going above and beyond. There had been a situation that had been a hindrance to my spiritual life, only because I was trying to push it aside and not deal with what was really going on. So last night things changed.....
Communication is one of the hardest things that Humans have to do, and it is not something that can be avoided. Everyone communicates in one form or another, even if the communication is not to communicate?? Making any sense.
Well I personally have always been a 'non-communicator' I keep things low-key. My life and past to name a few things, last night I had a talk with a Dear friend and it was a talk that took me out of my comfort zone, one where communication needed to happen.
It is funny sometimes how things happen, I have been waiting for this talk, but when it came I found that I was with out any words to say. I had actually gone over what I was going to say when this talk came around, but when that time came I had not one of those recited words in mind. I was speechless. Although we covered a lot of what has been happening, there is still a ways to go. I am looking forward to this new crazy friendship though, I can see something different about this person, and it is going to be an adventure getting to know them better!
I have been scared senseless before... and I am just as scared of you as you are of me.

There is something that I have been hogging to myself, which I feel should be shared with others.... I received this from a great friend of mine back in highschool when I was going through some "boy" issues you could say. Ever since then God has pulled me back to this same poem to read and meditate on before encountering any type of relationship. It is something that I have used to minister with to others throughout my walk with the Lord, it is also something that I usually only share with those that are close to me. God has made it abundantly apparent to me this semester that I should share this poem with you. May God bless you and read every word carefully!
Trust in Me
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another; to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to the Christian God says; "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me, to have an intense, personal, and unique relationship with me alone . . . discovering only in me is your satisfaction to be found. Only then will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. For you will never be united with another until with me - exclusively to anyone or anything else. So I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to bring it to you. You just keep watching me, expecting me to do the Greatest of things! Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I Am! Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. You just wait . . .that's all; don't be anxious, don't worry. Don't look around at the things you want - you just keep looking up and away to me, or you'll miss what I want to show you. When you're ready. I will give you a love far more wonderful than any you could ever dream of. I am working even at this very moment to have you both ready at the same time - until you both are satisfied with me and the life I have prepared for you - only then will you be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with me, and thus . . Perfect Love. And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love. I want to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me and enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you.” Believe it and be satisfied!

The Miracle of Friendship
There's a miracle called friendship
That dwells within the heart,
And you don't know how it happens
Or how it gets its start . . .
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift,
And you realize that friendship
Is God's most precious gift!
If friendship is happiness, then why do they end?
There's a miracle called friendship

And you don't know how it happens
Or how it gets its start . . .
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift,
And you realize that friendship
Is God's most precious gift!
If friendship is happiness, then why do they end?

Ladies and Gentlemen Thank you for choosing 'Your Own Free Will Express', today you will get to decide how fast the ride goes and if you want to lower your safety bar. We do however ask you for your own safety that you pray before entering. Sometimes these rides have disastrous outcomes... keep your hands and feet in at all times if you want... have a nice trip!!!
This is a Blog moment... What do you do when someone you care about hurts you without necessarily meaning to? How can you express to that person that you are hurting without it being a guilt trip? Why do things happen....? Sometimes I wish I could be a hobbit, this is no joke my friends. If I were to specifically disconnect myself and focus solely on God and schoolwork, you would think that life would be great. This may work for some and oh sometimes (such as now) I wish they would work for me. What is the point of social interaction if half of the time you are you are flying through the air on an emotional roller coaster... and at the beginning you forgot to lower the safety bar... so as you are in mid-air about to drop down the biggest, most steepest incline ever.. You think...."WHOA...The last time I was in this situation I promised myself to lower the safety bar, and guard my heart... what have I done..." you then close your eyes pray to God to handle the situation once again… and slowly drop.. awaiting what is going to be at the bottom....trusting only on God to strap you in and keep you safe.....
Point: Life can, and is a roller coaster, and most of us jump on not thinking it through....so ask yourself today and someone you care about did you put your safety bar down before you got in?

There are a lot of things in life I wish I knew how to do or do with talent... paint... dance...communicate.... Academics... skating.. Devotions... boxing.... Skiing... only to name a few. My prayer for this year it to learn my Spiritual gift, and be able to apply it to life.. Possibly to help others.. But first I need to discover fully what my gift is! Please pray.
I went to Poley Mountain (hill) today with Jetchick and we skied a hardcore 4 hours, although most of that is spent on a pointless ride on a never-ending ride up the only chair lift. I have to give Sussex credit though, for a place this size Poley does quite well. I am proud to announce that I only took one fall, and I like to call it "I just got tired and decided to sit" oppose to a fall, lol (gol) To sum it all up I had a great day on the hill! God answered one unspoken prayer this week, which has given me a great peace with things, Amen.
(New Random thought) What do you do when someone you know acts completely out of character, so much that in some ways it hurts you... how do you respond when they want to talk.... or how do you pick things up where you left off? These are some of the daily challenges that can be faced in the "Life and Times of Kate..." I have actually come up with a way to deal with them, not really knowing how to explain this well I am going to give it a shot... I come up with a daily theme, yep something that I try to consistently do through out a 24hr period; today was kindness, yesterday optimism, and the day before eye contact with people... It may sound extremely odd, but it actually helps to 'not sweat the small stuff' in life! Sheesh if I had of known that things could be a little easier in life with a daily theme... I would have started this 18 years ago and saved a lot of pointless days spent worrying...That is my insight for today, feel free to contact me if you have any more solutions on how to let things go... Later

Hey Everyone, Good Morning, Evening (whichever to all) It is again finally Friday.. week two of the second semester of school is completed. That it has been quite an eventful two weeks at that, lots of memories lots of fun, just can't wait to see how this all pans out!! Yea we can all sense the excitement! Today's day was full of classes, well not just that but meetings too, it was a Crazy day full of ups and downs and surprises of all sorts! Whoa God has let me in on some exciting new adventures and then there are the continuing hardships to work through. Acts 20:22-24 an amazing piece of Scripture, lets me know that the Holy Spirit is always guiding me, but even though I am following God's will for my life, I am always going to face Prision and hardships where ever I go. Always look to the Lord! I went Bowling with some of my great friends, some which I believe are going to be life long ones. I guess since this is my site I can boast a bit, I surprised myself with how well I did (sometimes, when Gutter ball was not being yelled) Jetchick did not do that bad, Ryan well he is from Seattle and this with the little balls is a weee bit weird for him.... Billings stole the light off the top with playing well his first game... Tonight I had a chance to also help someone by lending a shoulder to cry on, or just talk too. Youth went well also, I will get used to Brent being there, I believe it happened for a reason, and I just need to ask the Lord's Strength to help things go smoothly. Oh I need to add another thing... I love my roommate, and I can't wait until Carly gets here!! Night

So whoa I am posting a new one.. the second ever that is.. Ryan thanks for getting me hooked.. well I am not addicted to it yet, but we will see as time passes.It's scary to think who could be reading this, and if I should be cautious about what I say.Well it is all going to come out sometime.. so why not here.. I found out tonight it is not hard to find these things on the net, especially if you have a special search engine! I am not going to post things as much as I did before, I think I am a bit crazy for doing so I may add. but hey we are all entitled to a little insanity ... right?.. ok I need to go do some deep devotions before I open my mouth anymore... So until next time... I have nothing more to say.. except, we love ya too Ryan.

Alright so we are back at school, this is cool! Started the day off right with a balanced breakfast! Yup now I feel great!
The trip back on Sunday (12th) with Tina a rummy was awesome! we had some laughs, it is good to be back! God provides that is what I learned over the break, and prayer is powerful! AMEN... I love you all my friends and am praying for you as well!
People seem different this semester though, especially a certain someone, it is odd how things like this happen. I am told that they happed a lot especially being at Bethany and all.. So I am just going to have to bite the bullet and suck back the tears, sometimes things are not meant to be. Jetchick tells me not to worry but, when one thing is said and another is acted.. well I am sure we all know the saying 'Actions speak louder then words'.. I think we get the point, or at least I do that is! I found out also that I am doing a student ministry with an ex-boyfriend whom which contact in these past few months has been void. He is joining my team, and I am the only on that did not know?? Is that fair, and why my team? Argh, God is going to have to give me a lot of strength to do this. I am to go to Tim's tonight with that certain somone, a Billings that is... ohh I hope this goes well.. I will update you when I return! It is almost time to go... so if you are reading this unfinished... please pray....Ryan I saw an interesting part of my case develop tonight when I have not yet gone to Timmy's and did a stupid thing and walked away... yea I need to be kicked later for that, but I got super angry... why did people do things!! AHHHH life is all crazy....Youth was good, different it is going to take a lot of patients and adjusting to the new member, I made him eat a container of relish for initiation, and that my friends felt great! Well I am awaiting a call cause Mr.Billings is not around there is still 2 1/2 hours till cerfew, so he still has time. Although if he forgets, not only will I be hurt but I will have passed up the oppertunity to go to the Forbes's house to hang out... ahhh why is my brain so complicated, I know what I want to do why can't I just do it.
Words of the Day WE THINK WAY TO MUCH! AS the night progressed.. I did find that person I was seekin earlier that I could not find.. it was quite an interesting site when did find him... made me think a moment... bite my thoughts and progress on to have a super night in the lower cafe playing cards! We talked a bit not necessarily about any of those pressing issues...However, he did write me an e-mail tonight for tomorrow saying good morning... and we did establish that we are going to start praying together again cause it is something that is greatly missed on my part! Well I think I have thought evough for 7 people today and I must end my first official entry of Jan 22, 2003! Night
