Our God is a God who saves...word documents?

So, many of you may be wondering what in the world my title means. Well..here's the story:

Last Thursday, I knew I was in for a busy day. The day before had been bad because I had locked myself out of the house, my dog had escaped, and I had been late to school as a result of the lock situation. I was determined that Thursday would be better. I had to go to school, go to work, print out my speech outline, do my index cards, take a shower to get ready for the Golden Apple dinner awards (where I had to introduce Mrs. Bridwell), go to speech class, and then leave early to go to the banquet. Wow.

So it started out okay..but soon turned bad once I got to work. I proceeded to stick my jump drive in the computer only to find that for some reason, my outline had not saved on there! I had hope that it may have saved here on the laptop, so I came home. Of course, it wasn't here on the laptop. I decided that I would take a quick rinse off (not getting my hair wet) and then go to class and tell my professor what happened. She's very understanding, so I knew it wouldn't be a problem. However, once I got in the shower, my shower head fritzed out and came on on its own, causing my hair to get wet and messed up. Ahh! I called my teacher yet again to let her know that I just simply wouldn't be able to come to class (though I had missed the previous week due to FBLA districts...yes, it's only a once a week class). She said it was okay...and that we would talk about it at our next class. After that, I went to my grandparents house to get a shower and went to the banquet. The rest of the night was great! The speech went well, everyone had a great time, and it was just an overall good evening.

So...here comes the reason for the title! duh duh duh duh.....
I went on the laptop to start my outline for the second time...and decided to save it on my jump drive after I finished the thesis in case the computer went out. Just as I was about to replace what I thought was the faulty file, something told me to open it. So, I opened it and was extrememly surprised to find that my outline was there! I was about to replace it!!

I have no doubt in my mind that God was who told me to open the file, and that he personally put it there. These last few days have been stressful for me (really because of no good reason), and God has shown once again that he's always there.

Sorry for making that saga sooo long, but I just had to vent I suppose. I feel better now. Hope you enjoyed hearing about my silly stressful situations, and God's amazing faithfulness. Praise Him!

won't you break free?

Oh my goodness gracious. I just had one of the most amazing weekends of my life! I just cannot really explain it in words...but I can say that Break Free by Hillsong United is one of my new favorite songs.

I think part of what made this weekend so amazing for me was that I had lost an intimacy with God. I don't know if it was just the stress of Jubilation Jam, Comp, business, or what...but I know that I really wasn't as I should be with God. I truly believe that I gained that back, plus much much more! The pure, raw energy of the people in the building during worship was amazing. You could just tell by the faces that God was working in that place. Wow.

I just have a whole new energy now, and I'm just ready to lay back. I think I've come to the realization that I simply have to sit back and watch what GOD does with Jubilation Jam, not what I can do to make it amazing. Just as was mentioned this morning, God was faithful in the past, why wouldn't he be faithful now? I know that he is the most important audience, and I know that this will be pleasing to Him. So you know what? that's it...all I have to worry about. Now I know that there are little technical things, but I've just been released from worrying! It's an amazing feeling. I laid so many things down this weekend, and I don't ever want to pick them back up. Never ever. I will always be ready to Get up and dance for my Lord! Woohoo!

So this may not have been a post about what exactly went on this weekend, but who can put that into words and give it justice? It was all a God thing. So won't you break free, won't you break free, get up and dance in His love? His LOVE NEVERENDING!

Hallelujah,

Britt

You are faithful..you will ever be...lalalala

So right now, I'm kind of happy. =) We got a $1000 check from a lovely man today at church for Jubilation Jam. Cody came running out of the office to tell Chelsey and I, but I thought something had gone terribly wrong. God is so faithful! I know that if we do this for His glory, that He will be faithful and that things will work out. I just pray that I would not worry so much, and have more faith in the incredible things that God has planned for this.

Also, Pastor Benton took us out to El Morro today for lunch. I had the buffet of incredible Cuban food celebrating Ms. Pam's birthday. She is such so fun to work with, and we had a great time at lunch. Yummmyyy!

I'm going to bed now, but I though that I'd post this in honor of God's faithfulness, because he has really been teaching me how to trust lately. Keep praying for Jubilation Jam! It's coming together, and I just have a wonderful feeling that this will be a wonderful ministry to South West Florida! woohoo!
