Me and my Boyfriend George




This last week I got the oppurtunity to go to WI and visit my brother, sister, and there family, For a week.( Above are the pictures) While I was there I went to Lifefest. Amidst all the family fun, and Great bands like Skillet, David Crowder, Red, Toby Mac, Barlow girl, Aaron Shust, Pillar, Phillips, Craig, and Dean exc... I found myself in the prayer tent on Thursday. While I was there I met a lady named Chaun, a local pastor, she asked if I would like prayer, of course I said yes never can have enough, and Oddly enough I found my self telling her all about my Brother Christopher, My eldest brother who has walked away from our family, and the Lord, Well her son had recently comeback from a similiar expierence, so she knew what it was like and she was able to pray into the situation from experience. After she prayed I was crying, and for those who know me well I NEVER cry in front of people, anyways I pulled myself together, and we talked I asked her her testimony, and she shared it, and then she asked me mine, and I found myself telling her things I wouldnt tell the average person regarding my past. Well when I was done I told her about the different ministries I'm involved in/starting up from Good in the Hood, Friday night witnissing, Worship leading, Love in Action, And My Youtube ministry, and she finally asked me my age and she was in shock. She asked to see my ID because she didnt believe I was only 16. She had guessed 24(I Know I was SHOCKED too... I've never been guessed to be that old =P) and she was so encouraging and a huge blessing to me. We exchanged email adresses, and will keep in touch, but she didnt have to do anything, just listen and encourage me and I was so blessed throughout the entire week! That made the most impact on me. So Let that be an encouragement to you all during your busy weeks encourage someone. One word doesnt seem like much, but it could mean the world to someone who needed to hear that one word.
