Oh, Gravity!

Psalm 37:3-7 (NIV)
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
⁴ Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
⁵ Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
⁶ He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
⁷ Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Psalm 37:3-7 (The Message)

^3-4 Get insurance with God and do a good deed,
settle down and stick to your last.
Keep company with God,
get in on the best.
^5-6 Open up before God, keep nothing back;
he'll do whatever needs to be done:
He'll validate your life in the clear light of day
and stamp you with approval at high noon.
⁷ Quiet down before God,
be prayerful before him.
Don't bother with those who climb the ladder,
who elbow their way to the top


For those of you who read my last blog,
You know that I was in a really dry place in my life.
Well, that has changed. :] :] :]
God woke my heart up & thawed it to what beauty he has.

First of all, I wasn't going to be able to be a youth leader on Wednesday nights,
Because of some understandable things at work.
It was disappointing to say the least, but I understood.
Well, I knew God had a plan, & I knew not to be overly upset.
Things worked out, without complaining from me to my boss,
And I got Wednesdays off because we had a staff come back to the house!
That was an amazing gift!
Youth has been bananas lately too.
Kids are coming out with issues that need to be cared for.
Addiction, Un-forgiveness, Physical injury.
& As leaders, we are praying for them,
And trusting Jesus with them, & trusting him to guide us as leaders.
(Have I mentioned how much I love youth ministry???)
Check out the youth facebook page HERE!

As a tiny add on, I confronted someone.
Not in the angry kind of confronting.
But the loving kind, where you honestly want better for the person.
"Carefrontational"
I did so, & I expected anger and hard feelings.
I got love, respect, & gratitude.
It was incredible.
I love true friendship!

Secondly, I got an internship with The Spirit.
(Check them out HERE!)
I love it. I am learning a lot & it is really reminding me how great it feels to serve others.
I litterally walked in and asked if they needed an intern.
They said yes, three weeks later, here I am.
4 days into the internship, & learning more and more about Jesus, culture & music.
Lovely.

Lastly, I got to go to Cedar Falls last weekend.
It didn't turn out at ALL the way I expected it to at all.
I ended up staying with a dear friend of mine & her kids.
It was a total blast & it definitely blessed my heart.

I should probably go back to doing intern things now :P
Remember how much Jesus loves you!
Love & Blessings,
Sammee Bean
