Unbreakable


Where are the people that accused me?
The ones who beat me down and bruised me
They hide just out of sight
Can't face me in the light
They'll return but I'll be stronger

God, I want to dream again
Take me where I've never been
I want to go there
This time I'm not scared
Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable
No one can touch me
Nothing can stop me -Unbreakable: Fireflight

Have you ever heard the saying "Use it or lose it" ... teachers usually use that expression talking about brain use.. but I like to use it as your God given talents.. a friend of mine asked me what I think her talent is.. I told her she is a good singer although I havent really heard her sing.. just in the car and random times.. but she feels like she isnt talented enough in that area so I also mentioned teaching.. thats a old one.. everyone mentions teaching.. but just now it was revealed that she is a great coordinator.. she is always asked to put together get togehers.. and although its stessful she pulls through.. I havent told her that.. but how do you implement that into Gods plan for your life.. I dont know .. So I told her to pray and ask for God to help her discern her thoughts and his plans..
Honestly I dont even know what my talents are.. people say im crazy because its obvious.. but I really have no burning desire.. ok so I love working with kids, I love helping people, teaching is ok, and helping the youth was my best time.. even though I was in it just for fun at the time.. but now I am looking for where God needs me.. the point of this is.. If you know your talent.. use it for God and he will use you in a big way.. and if you dont know your talent.. Pray.. read the bible.. and ask your friends what are your strengths.. there are so many ministry options.. I want to meet a future missionary and see the fire they have because it must be powerful for them to want to GO like the bible says out of their comfort zone and reach out to the hurting.. "There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time". (taken from "the way of the master" minute.)

Today I woke up late for church.. I woke up with 30 minutes to get shower, dress, and drive to church... when I got up my family was already gone so I just hopped in the shower.. time flew by and I knew I was going to be late.. I got to church around 9:40 and expected to walk into class in the middle of a lesson and I would be confused.. but thankfully I didnt.. Christina the young adult teacher had a grandma that recently died.. and she is taking it hard.. so her husband took the class today.. they were 2 students so I took my seat and told that they were going around telling about our challenges we had during the week.. I opened up about how the call of the world is screaming at me.. I see alcohol and my curiosity wants to take over.. and the "night life" seems euphoric but I know its all smoke and mirrors to something dark and ugly.. I didnt elaborate much but I said enough.. the youth pastors wife joined us and we had didnt have much of a class .. it was more of a chat session.. soon after class ended I ran into everyone.. I found myself backed into a wall haha it usually gets like that.. I talked to everyone I could and had a side chat with moises about his predicament.. .. then it was time for service.. I sat alone again.. well I was joined by moises little brother as usual.. I dont mind because he doesnt distract me so its cool I was in and out of the sermon one saying pastor used stuck with me.. he was referring to marriage and how so many are failing and said this "was it Love, of uneducated enthusiasm".. it made me thing because many people do say that after the wedding.. the euphoria dies soon after.. but when its true Love bound by God there is a constant euphoria .. although troubles do arise.. with God in the center they can be overcome. After service we had the lords supper and a baptism.. then it was over.. I headed out with my friends and after a while slipped away because I was supposed to meet my family at taco bell.. they called and said they would bring it home instead so to go straight home.. While eating we watched a tv series called "Way of the Master" its a neat show because they interview people on the streets asking questions like "is there a hell" and "who goes there" and "you being a sinner what does that mean".. usually the answers are the people admitting they are sinners and realize by Gods standards they are going to hell.. they have a cool method of sharing the gospel .. this is the website if you want to check it out "Wayofthemaster.com" after 2 episodes I was tired so I headed into my room to watch alice in wonderland.. I found it boring and fell asleep.. haha.. I woke up in time to get to 711 and get an iced coffee and head to church with good time.. I met up with saul and we talked for a while before everyone showed up.. then cesar came up and someone told him he should teach a youth class for night church.. reluctant at first because it was already descided that youth were to be in service .. but then he agreed and we headed upstairs.. he allowed me to go so there were 9 of us .. he didnt have anything planned so he talked about what ways we could declare our faith throughout our daily lives.. It was really good I had some input.. towards the end sauls mom entered and said some stuff in spanish.. and me being a mexicant wansnt able to understand.. but I knew she was upset because we had a class and she told saul to come downstairs.. .. after that cesar wrapped up and we all headed downstairs in time for the last 5 minutes of night service and prayer.. after it was more talking and I headed home... I watched some of the movie titanic then i took a shower and I am sitting here on my sisters computer cause she is still out.. but im not complaining.. :D
