Hello Friends

Talk about a blogging sabbatical....
Man have I been busy. These last few weeks, since Easter, have gone by so fast. As many of you know I am preparing to sit for my CPT exams next weekend. I am also rounding out my semester and rapidly approaching finals week (insert dramatic dum.dum.dum....) I am struggling a bit with keeping organized and calm and mostly my focus in the right place. Why is it when we need God the most, is when we tend to cut ties. Just this morning, as I was driving to class feeling beyond stressed out, it occurred to me, my life has felt out of control all this week.... and I really haven't prayed about it. You would think that it would be second nature, if you love Him and if you trust Him, that you would immediately go to Him when you are losing your grip, but it rarely works that way. At least not for me. So when it dawned on me that I hadn't talked to him this week about what was going on with me, I immediately turned the radio off and started in on a long conversation and an hour later, while I was sitting in my Music Apprec class - out of nowhere a sense of calmness and peace came over me and I just had to say out loud right in the middle of the class, "thank you". I don't think anyone heard me, but I know He did and the rest of my day has looked completely different. Man, how much easier would life be if we always went to God first instead of it being an afterthought. Anyway, there's my sermon.

So what else have I been up to. Well, I saw Wednesday's "Idol" and it was incredible. What unbelievable numbers. I read today that "ONE" has officially been titled the fastest growing movement in history. I have been getting more and more involved for the last couple of months via their website and some contacts I have made from it and have just today emailed someone else about information and beginning stages in hosting a "ONE" event. I am growing very passionate about this movement and have hopes of getting involved on a level where I could create/host an event sometime this summer.

I urge anyone who is not registered with ONE to do so at http://www.one.org/ and most importantly, spread the word. We all know that knowledge is power. We must pull people's heads out of the sand to see what is going on.

I will post more about a possible future event as information unfolds and I urge you to begin praying as to how you can and will get involved.

Have a great weekend friends.
